as if i dnt knw u before. I was once ur member at pipe line road, tanke ilorin. Continue ur lying

Goke7:
is enyeama not prone to errors too? It's relative man, Enyeama's error cost us the game against France in the last world cup. He too is prone to error.

Magink:
Guys I had a horrible dream i pray it doesn't come to pass

Dreamt that we met France at the round of 16 and they won 2-1

We were actually leading but some minutes to the end of the game we imploded

Pogba scored the winner for them

lol guess it's world cup fever

tbaba1234:
You asked for his stats.

10 games
7 clean sheets..

Goke7:
Aiyegbeni just retired few weeks back, he can still be recalled Sir, na today?

Mujtahida:
No no no. I disagree with you that I'm looking at Jay Jay through the prism of the present. I repeat he was awful by any standard in THAT MATCH. and guess what the coach subbed him off.
I like my midfielders in the best of the 10's tradition as epitomised by Maradona, Jay Jay, Baggio, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo but that doesn't change the fact that Jay Jay wasn't Westerhof's preferred midfielder and I can hazard a guess to say it wasn't because of the showboating. Jay Jay was ineffective.

Goke7:
I will also champion the recall of Aiyegbeni abi no be striker we de find?

forgiveness:
Dele Aiyenugba and Nwofolor. Soon, Enyeama go join and Dele Alampasu go start.

Mujtahida:
Enyeama is not a magician but I say that of all our players from the last three WC none, I repeat none has been outstanding as Enyeama. The WC has always been his stage. Did you watch Nig v Argentina in 2010 WC? Ohhh my goodness Enyeama thwarted waves after waves of attack from Messi and the attacking horde of the Argentines and if I recall he was given man of the match award. None of our players have ever been magical. None but they've done their best and we should honour them. I guess if five years from now someone says Mikel or Iheanacho were not magical it won't seat well with you.
Enyeama is a very solid gk. He is not just solid but in the history of goalkeeping in Nigeria he is the best we've ever had. Ask Icon4s and Kog45

Icon4s:
If Rohr still has hope of his return who am I?

Mickael2:
Just a quick question, have you bothered to check Uzoho's stats for his Team B side? Maybe if you do we would start to grasp the general idea of the current situation

Mujtahida:
I will also be happy if Enyeama returns because all over the media Rohr keeps talking about not having found a gk that satisfies him. He still said it again in the last interview posted here. However those who know Enyeama said Enyeama has said he is done with the SE. So if that is the case then we just have to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. We will have to settle for Uzoho, Akpeyi and Ezenwa and let the devil be damned.
I just had to weigh in because team spirit is being set up as an ojuju Calabar to terrorise anybody that calls for Martins or Enyeama. Team spirit is delicate and must be protected at the same time we should not use it to scare discourse on the inclusion of certain players. At the end of the day we should remember that Rohr is a disciplinarian. All the players I have read say he's both a father and a father. I don't think he would spare anyone who wants to scuttle his plans.

Icon4s:
Thank you .

I just tire.

Do they know what we are going to face at the World cup?

If team chemistry is the issue, then Enyeama is even better placed than Uzoho, Alampasu and Okoye. Our back line has not much changed since Enyeama left. So wetin?

realpoacher:
From the bolded its obvious that you still didn't get my point. Ejide's howler was an error(even though it was contested as match fixing but he was cleared). A very rare error from Ejide who we all know was a good keeper bested by Enyeama only as at that time. Comparing Ejide to Akpeyi is like comparing USA to Nigeria in terms of development, they are miles apart. It is an insult to Ejide by even attempting to compare him with Akpeyi.

Listen and listen good, Akpeyi is a horrible keeper, he is not good , he is a calamity waiting to happen. On his good days he is still error prone, then on his bad days,... Well I refuse to make comments

You are an elder here, you have been following the Eagles right from the 70s and 80s yet you still hold brief for Akpeyi. Can you honestly picture Akpeyi as our keeper in goal at USA 94, at France 98, at Korea/Japan 02, at S/A 2010?.....

At those tournaments, we went with our best and they kept the scoreline low against the world best teams. I don't want to remind you how well Peter Rufai kept both Bulgaria and Greece at bay before we won. I don't want to remind you how ike shorumu kept Argentina at bay before they managed a 1-0 respectable victory over us. I don't want to remind you how Enyeama kept messi at bay while he kept tormenting our defence at will at 2010 world cup.

Now picture Akpeyi in goal on those occasions.

If you still seriously believe that Akpeyi deserve to be in Russia next year then I will believe too that you are either lying to yourself or you have a hidden agenda pushing for him.

Newsflash, assuming Akpeyi resumed second half in the Argentina game friendly, we wouldn't have won because he probably would have committed one of his school boy errors again. That I am sure of.

Many times we see Akpeyi in the line up at the viewing center where I watch my matches, we all become jittery , murmuring, and we start praying. Tension everywhere... I believe his colleagues on the field feels the same too.

He doesn't inspire confidence at all, a team's psychic is very important and a keeper leaking needless goals is definitely a source of big worry.

Haven't you noticed, whenever Akpeyi keeps we concedes and lose the match 90% of time. This is not me being bias or hating him.

Let him go sort out whatever is hunting him and leave our SE for us in peace... Someone should not come and have HBP on top an Agbaya that has refused to grow

Humility017:
you not getting me sir...
I rate and prefer omeruo to ilorfa wit a wide margin....
I am just saying I will even prefer we call for fikayo tomori first before ilorfa....that is after the world cup oooo
it will easy to get him...a good outing at the world cup...will prey his mind band also the Aina connection.

Humility017:
me too...sir.
if i was rohr...you see that fikayo tomori he should be invited first before ilorfa...
the dude had the privilege of training wit some of epl best defenders in Chelsea...he must have learnt something valuable from them...

Humility017:
bro...you don't need repeat the bolded...for every true super eagles fan that watch football.
knows the truth...I remember how everyone on the kick-off Nigeria defunct thread...was in the look for omeruo and none wanted yobo on the field....in that world cup...Kenneth was the best Nigeria defender...young and energetic...
I remember one fan on that kick off page said.....that time is coming same way we mock and speak of yobodisdainfully we will do omeruo likewise and that he should take caution of Nigerians praises...

until recently he begin to flop....even though I am not favorably disposed to him..now..I won't rule off his past achievement.

he did well in time past...and I pray he retrace his steps...
ilorfa is untested green horn.... he has no international experience to beat omeruo with...besides..Kenneth is not his mate as far as Africa and international football is concerned.

somehow:
Why cut off when Yobo was the starman for us in the eagles? You are rating Shittu when he was at his best for us but using another standard for Yobo?

As for omeruo, looking at what I look at when rating or picking defenders, I will go with Omeruo before anything Shittu. In this day and age, a defender like Shittu will likely be smart attacker's toast including the ref because he was raw and rash then. He was very good in the air and can run too, tired less but bad timing, unwarranted bamboozing of balls into the stands was the order of the day during his time.

In African settings, maybe old nations cup, I'll pick him to deal with his fellow jambody old school African players but in this age and time, penalty and dead ball go full opponent hand.

We nicknamed him rugby redhorn shittu.

jihday:
if I'm not mistaken Fabrice akwa's goal in Kano was as a result of enyeama's blunder

somehow:
Ezenwa sir

Danielnino00:
Joel Noah Based returns to Hannover team!! He is on the bench..

Kevin Akpoguma is on the bench for Hoffeheinm ..

safarigirl:
Ezenwa

somehow:
Very possible hoping they sell him to a foreign club after the worldcup "if" he makes it or become our first choice.

jihday:
it's unfair to blame yobo for the Angola loss, we were depleted that day and our football was atrocious anybody can make a mistake. yobo really served us well, for me yobo was great for us.

somehow:
No sir, check my comments, I rated him mostly by what I remembered of him in our jesery. Didn't even bring up his club he played for. His style of play and what we nicknamed him at viewing centers are fresh in my memory.

somehow:
For Yobo and Shittu comparison, I think whoscored rate You higher than shittu

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/8189/Show/Danny-Shittu

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/2180/Show/Joseph-Yobo

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/104432/Show/Kenneth-Omeruo

somehow:
He was great but played with these clubs all through his career? Great? That word seems not to have a meaning on this issue. Anyways to each his own, let's concentrate on the present and future.

I respect everyone's view on some of our defenders.

somehow:
Like I said, Yobo was already declining when Shittu came into the picture, I said so in my comment. But to say he was better than Yobo at their prime is way way below the belt.

tbaba1234:
Yobo was still a starter in 2013 just before the nations cup. He only lost his place due to injury.

I will not go as far as putting him alongside West but for the short period he played for Nigeria, he was good.
