Edu93:
You're focusing on one game.
Typical.
What about France in 2014, Korea in 2010 and Greece.
Especially against France and Korea where his mistakes were directly responsible to effectively knocking us out.
Enyeama was very poor at setpieces, no revisionism can change that...
Nigeria GKS are normally weak at setpieces, Uzoho is no different.
Infact African teams are generally not good at setpiece situations and have regularly been exposed at the WC

Sir is not about one game,have been watching eagles since 1980 and I want to say it is ridiculous trying to make Enyeama poor to back up your point on Uzoho.

Goalkeeping is not about only set pieces but what keeper offer all round and I want to say Uzoho damn too poor in eagles,imagine that Ghana goal.

charlesemeka85:
don’t know anything about the 2 goalkeepers u recommended but if they re good they should be given a chance

With the current situation the nff/coaches should be desperate on getting any goalkeeper/goalkeepers better than uzoho and okoye even if they play in our 2nd tier league

Amas Obasogie of Insurance and Bankole of Remo star deserves eagle’s call up

charlesemeka85:
bros uzoho na shit, same with okoye. Currently we lack a decent goal keeper and it’s high time the nff/coaching crew scout for one from the local league since we don’t hv any in top flight european leagues

Uzoho and Okoye are below average goal keepers

The duo are not better than Bendel Insurance and Reno star keepers.

Cecco90:
Few but important goals to get bronze medal abi?.
Emenike would have done nothing with this midfield duo of Ndidi and Iwobi.
Give Iheanacho, Awoniyi and the rest a midfield trio of Mikel Obi, a prime Onazi and Mba and watch them score many important goals too.
My point is many of those former players with the exception of just few would have also struggled in this age of modern football and our present set up (with Jose Peseiro ).
Are the past generations actually better than the present ones? This is very debatable in my opinion.

Sir,I don’t believe in old player would struggled in today’s football.Every player has their time and that time was modern.

We went to 2013 Afcon with average players and home based Sunday Mba did justice to Nigeria midfield.Did you know that Ogenyi Onazi was not even regular in group stage.

We just need bus conductor like Mikel in our team,Mikel gave liberty to Mba to operate further and we all saw the results against Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso.

Edu93:
Are you forgetting Enyeama blunders at the world cup.
The videos are there on YouTube if u were too young to watch those matches..
He literally guarded the ball to Pogba's head for an open goal.
Just like Uzoho yesterday Enyeama was never good at setpieces

I just finished watching Nigeria vs Argentina highlights 2010 and 2014 WC…sir I no gree with u….na Messi scored Enyeama o no be poor Saudis wey Uzoho turned to free kicks specialist

Mujtahida:
Bro have been watching SE since 94 and in all that time I've seen our team concede many goals but walahi I couldn't believe my eyes when Tunisia scored Maduka. As in I rubbed my eyes whether I was dreaming because it was so surreal.

We are stuck after this good man,a perfect replacement for Enyeama,reason why I love Stephen Keshi,though later played under Oliseh and Siasia.

BascoVanVeli:
We have another friendly match so it's not a must to try them against Saudi. U have to know what u have on ground. U can't be focusing on trying players when there's a game to be won.

This would have been a morale boosting victory but instead I am sure the teams feels deflated. Peseiro should be careful before he loses the dressing room. There is nothing that makes players lose trust in coach more than him putting the team in a visibly bad position.

Peseiro should let us see Onyedika,Fisayo and Ojokojo starting cuz naso some players scammed us go 2018 WC.

The position that’s given me joy is RB position cuz Osayi and Aina remind me of Maicon and Alves of Brazil in 2014 WC

I saw people talking about how we missed chances against a very poor Saudi team that beat only Yemen in her last eight matches.We are having hope,sweet talk our team based on São Tomé and now Saudi.

My takes on eagles is simple,our two grey area are goalkeeping dept and midfield,having just two midfielders in a match and Iheanacho on the bench was a mistake,playing against top teams with such approach would backfired.

I just don’t know but we need a keeper that’s assuredly and also there is need to extend invitation to at least one more creative midfielder even if Fisayo comes good.

I think time to stop inviting players that are just coming back to shape,not really good for their careers.

Happy birthday to Ahmed Musa,Nigeria highest WC scorer.

Odunayaw:
I am a hobbyist photographer. There are times I and my friend will snap and I'd look at his and be like "wow, this, that". And then I check my own and be so critical that I don't want to see it.

2 weeks down the line I go back and I'm like omoo this is good o

I think that's how we deal with our games.

Saudi couldn't string passes fa! In fact the time I saw them dangerous was when Osimhen went out and Moffi took some minutes to enter. If it was us that was outclassed like that we would have cried blood by now.

J Peseiro scorecard with eagles so far is poor.Thank God for São Tomé,eagle would have been on goals deficits with arrays of strikers we have,time to tell ourselves the truth.

Game 11 win 5 draw 1 lose 5 GF 26 GA 15 +11

AndSunGorilla:
Yes you are right but Sodick probably made a good first impression with JP, recall he worked with him before his long term injury. JP has shown that he prefers a devil that he knows to an angel he doesn't know.

Sadiq never impressed under JP.He was ahead of others after Osimhen but his unimpressive performance gave way for Moffi

Odunayaw:
I hope there's a picture of this

Brethren we need to pray and fast concerning this GK issues.

Keepers cost us Afcon and WC qualification and we are still relying on those keepers with zero improvement since the mistakes,warming bench…someone told us recently that keeper will cost us again.

AndSunGorilla:
I dey tell you .

Hopefully, we play better and get a good result against Mozambique. Not a bad game from the lads, the Saudis scored goals from 2 free kicks while we wasted multiple chances and thwarted many goal scoring plays. I won't fault JP in my own opinion, if we perform same wag against Mozambique then we can be justified to shout and yelp.

Oga AndSun,free kick goal na goal nau and wasting of chances is not acceptable in football

Marjoribanks:
Aribo played very well. He mistakenly stepped the guy which can happen to anyone. He intercepted many balls that our attackers failed to utilize. It is a friendly and the cohesion will get better as time goes on.

We could have easily won 7-1 with better decision making in the final third. The overated Mancini team did nothing serious to threaten our team. We simply gifted him two goals to save his ass! lol

Good test for our boys. Lesotho go hear am for Uyo!

Sir,are you rating Mancini or Saudi team? cuz the team has been poor under Mancini

charlesemeka85:
haba I think say uzoho better pass okoye 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oga Charles,make you know bring Uzoho and Maduka comparisons cuz both na same same….well I want to see Maduka against Mozambique and Adeleye in second half.

Good one from Iheanacho

humility33:
I just don't know what happened to ebuehi

Ebuehi only good match was Argentina friendly just like Idowu.

Meliforme:
You will soon see – i assure you.

I will be very happy

The boy ✈️ now in camp.

MetalJigsaw:
Seems you don't get me. I mean Osimhen should be wearing his mask in training and not just match day.

He needs it to protect his face. Like peter Chech

I got your point Jig man,just trying to tell you that possibly Osimhen feels secure playing with his mates…truly he need to wear it in training.

MetalJigsaw:
Osimhen should be wearing his mask at training.

The mask is now a trademark and Napoli fans see it as fashion,forgotten that it is protective mask….I don’t know but it seems Osimhen love wearing it during match matches.

Boys in the gym

Icon4s:
Life is truly a stage

Yes o whether one like it or not,man must calm down

Apcsupport1:
I don't know why I hate this boy,, like his so prideful, how much does he even thinks he have compared to davido,, and Davido is too calm no matter what

Wizkid hustling is richer but Davido inheritance is richer…so no need to hate but try and double your hustle too to make it cuz it’s not that easy.

Drogba happy to see Mikel in Côte d’Ivoire.

zuchyblink:
my brother i tire o
nothing we no go see for nairaland sports section.

Honestly if Maduka Okoye comes good better for us but analysis should not be based on sentiment.

Meliforme:
Performance.

Performance?Maduka or who?

Maduka had two matches last season,one in league cup and FA cup and conceded three goals,yet to feature for Udinese this season.

Pls where is the performance.

Chelsea legends

AndSunGorilla:
Maybe Okoye declined the invite. Is Noble first choice in his club? Also, can he even get a visa at such short notice to Portugal?

Pls confirm this news cus we are hearing contrary reports.

Mujtahida:
Mature for where? In between the sticks for SE?
See there are some players that are not cut out to be SE material. Onuachu is one such player. Henry Onyekuru, Anthony Nwakaeme etc are not SE material. No matter their exploits, they are some players who do not have SE DNA. Oga Kog45 and Icon4s, as long time watchers of the SE, you can bear witness to this phenomenon.

There's this knowing you'd have as a fan that so and so player fits and so and so player doesn't fit. In spite of the rave about Onuachu, I never took to him because I he didn't click for me. I feel the same thing with respect to Maduka. Him no be am. Even if we give him 100 opportunities, he'd flop and cause us losses. I might be wrong oo but I really don't think Maduka would be a good SE goalkeeper.

We have good players who didn’t make it with eagles….Richard Owubokiri,Benji Nzeakor,James Etokebe,Mike Obiku,Chris Ohenhen,Duke Udi,Dodo Avaa,James Obiorah,Emma Teberen,Uwem Ekarika,Tarila Okoronwata and many more.

Mujtahida:
Obviously one of your hobbies is watching old football clips.

He is old brigade so sometimes he need to go memory lane and spice us.
