enomakos:Idemudia usigbe |
TheGoodJoe:Yes sometimes it w look Arabic when u are not ready to accept some views. Mind u no coach screen a player in senior national team,u must be ready for d task with simple instruction,if u failed to meet up u are out. Super Eagle is not under age team where u need to screen b4 u can get d best.The best are d ones assembled for national team and d best must be ready for d task ahead. |
TheGoodJoe:I got your point now,play the better player in camp irrespective of their experiences. If Alampasu perform better than Ikeme,he should start,if Kenneth Otigba perform better than Leon in training he should start,if Madu show flashes in training,he should start ahead of Echiejele,if obiora nwankwo played like Olishe in training he should start ahead Ndidi and Onazi,Ajagun can come in and take Mikel place coz he replicate Messi in training,Osimieh can come in and take Nacho place coz he outshine Nacho in training. My man with due respect,player selection has gone beyond this,a lot of criteria are put into considerations and that part of d consideration make Akpeyi to bench Alampasu. To be candid Alampasu is coming to that stage when such consideration w not be a factor against him and we are all praying for that level.Do u remember Rufai,Agu and Agbonibavte era,this was d best era of Nigeria goal keeping,a coach can closed his eyes and pick any of d trio |
TheGoodJoe:Pls forget veteran sport journalist.Let us hear your personal views.I don't want to disrespect any journalists coz i have them as friends and i know what they do to promote player. My question is tell us why Alampasu should be rated than Akpeyi.If u can prove it,no issue coz this thread is for everybody and personally am here to add to my knowledge |
TheGoodJoe:I always like to learn,pls can u tell me how Alampasu was better than Akpeyi. |
TheGoodJoe:I want to repeat it again NO COACH w pick Alampasu for Algeria match. |
Icon4s:I don't think there is need for us to be arguing unnecessarily. I want us to drive our points from Algeria match.The match in question was world cup qualifying match against top rated Africa side,prior to d match three goalkeepers were invited namely Ikeme,Ezenwa and young Alampasu but Ikeme got injured and Akpeyi was called as a replacement and manned d post. The question is this,why Akpeyi who was not on original list was picked ahead of Alampasu and Ezenwa.A lots of things were put into considerations that only Rohr can explain.I remember his explanation on why he needed to drop home based players for Algeria match,it is simple he said league was on break.This decision gave room for Alampssu ahead of Emma Daniel but based on experience Ezenwa was picked. Alampasu might be d best in camp due to reports from camp which nobody can authorized coz i remember d camping of Sydney 2000 dream team in Ilorin in 1999.I was privileged to watch their training live.It was straight fight between d two keeper Greg Etafia and Dele Aiyenugba on who to be picked.The reports journalists were bringing out to d loving sporting Nigerians was different from what we are seen live. Aiyenugba was jumping,punching,diving like a cat with spectators applauding but Etafia was well composed by reading his line very well,organized his defence and u see that maturity in him.At d end Etafia was picked by coach shaibu Amodu and d sport writers were saying Dele was d best.The same scenario played out between Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Idemudia,we thought Idemudia was d best but Aiyegbeni was picked coz in front of goals he was deadlier but Idemudia bunch of skills and delight to watch. It was this period that i realized the difference between pundits and coaches.A lot happened in d camp that w don't know and one need to hear from d coach b4 one can question his decisions. It was very glaring prior to Algeria match that Alampasu w not manned d post irrespective of his performance in d camp and it's simple,match of such magnitude wasn't for rookie especially a sensitive area(goalkeeping) |
Icon4s:Pls i don't know why w always arguing on things that are not possible No coach and i repeat no coach w pick Alampasu for Algeria match!simple |
TheGoodJoe:On Iheanacho and Guardiola,i always respect your views on them coz u are a great fan and u are ready to defend them to d last point but that w not take d truth out. Let me point it out,i love and cherish Mikel to a fault try to defend him at any given point but at 2014 W/C i admitted Mikel had a woeful outing and ve cite it here that Iheanacho is going like Mikel.I was telling people then that Mikel was growing coz he was under great Mourinho but Nig vs Spain pointed it out that Mourinho is killing Mikel's potential not developing him. Iheanacho is a Nigerian and every good Nigerians want d best for him and w are free to express our opinions as u are free to express yours but coming out to nail everybody on Nacho or Guardiola is uncalled-for. Michael Owen have come out and said w have better Iheanacho under Pellegrin than under Guardiola.Owen just attested to people comments on nairaland regards Nacho developments. I have said it and still repeat it that time w tell may be Iheanacho is developing under Guardiola or not.I wish him d best just like any other Nigerians coz is valuable to d new emerging Eagles. |
Icon4s:Agreed,injury is slowing d guy down and it's a pity that amazing talent is wasting Do u remember Oyekachi Apam a great and promising defender whose career was shortened by nagging injuries.If not for injury Apam should have be a great partner for Joseph Yobo and a defender young ones w be looking up to by now in d eagles We have many of them like Chinedu Obasi,Joel Obi,young and promising but cannot fulfill their potential due to injury,d same thing can be said of Anichebe. Nobody is doubting Success ability or talent but his injury threatening career must be sort out first and fast or else he w belong to d young ones who failed to fulfil their potential due to injury. |
joseph1013:He is d coach and he has every right to determine who come to national team but that doesn't stop us from be a critique to some of his decision. Well from Algeria match,i realised d no 9 position is for grab irrespective of your age or where u come from,if u delivered is your position for good Rohr is looking for solution and Osamieh is part of his plan and let wait and see if d boy w grab d opportunity. |
joseph1013:Am not saying young ones should not be given a chance but there must be decency in it. |
Icon4s:Yes but very few games but as in goal ratios is not better than most current eagles strikers like Ighalo,ideye,Iheanacho,Musa,though stand to be corrected. 2014-2016 Granada 49 matches /7 goals,though very good,talented footballer with good skills and delight to watch |
Icon4s:Yes o na pikin,i just discovered that d guy is just 20 years,so what really make him older than d likes of Nnwakili and Osimieh?pls sir icon explain coz to me they belong to d same age group 18-20. |
safarigirl:Well i don't know his age or know him very well coz of recent i don't have d opportunity of watching Nigeria league coz am not in d country but it was from this thread i read a lot about him. |
Mickael2:Don't be happy that w share d same view on this,2moro i can land on u when i don't believe in your analysis. Read my post or comments on this thread very well,it takes very intelligent guys who knows football to always thumb up.No be today,have been watching d games as far back 80s and even played it during my school days(university level)with player like ex eagle like seyi olofinjana and ex polish international Nigerian born Emma Olisadebe just to mention a few. So coming here is to share ideas and learn more about football irrespective of age or where u come from and to be candid i ve gained a lot coz i remember telling my white friend how superlatives are Nigeria footballers citing a lot of examples from this thread. |
Mickael2:Agreed,let iheanacho continue developing at man city and player like Iwobi continue having a playing time under a coach who is far better than Guardiola when it comes to player development. This is d mistake Mikel made at chelsea developing under a wrong but world class coach Mourinho,anytime i watched Mikel i always shaking my head why should a talent be wasting like this(Nig vs Spain)but thank God he was still able to achieve but not at his potential coz he found himself at cross road,a DM at chelsea and AM/CM at S/E. We are going towards that line again regards Iheanaho and i said time w tell may be d guy is developing or not.If not for Mikel talent that keeps him on which i don't think any Nigeria player have for now,w should have forget about him. |
Oasis007:Well i believe this should stop arguments on Iheanacho development at Man city. How i wish Iheanacho continue his development under pellegrini coz a scintillating Iheanacho w be unfolding now but under Guardiola time w tell may be Nacho w be a player we are clamouring for or not It was on this thread i was telling some people that d guys is under unnecessary pressures but they said No.Thank God somebody that played d game to d highest level is attesting to this,it's very glaring if care is not taking Iheanacho w be loaned out at d end of d season. |
joseph1013:I always love pundits that are precise in their analysis and u are one of them here on nairaland.My question is this,is success better than Ideye when w talk of national team,club football,experience and injury history. Firstly,national team d two should not be compared.Ideye has made is mark in d national team(afcon 2013)his contributions in that tournament was superb and enormous,though he lost his place in d team but later earned a recalled due to his current form but national team experience nothing can be said of Success. Club football,i know a lot w said Ideye couldn't make it in EPL but forgetting w have a lot of super stars like de Maria,Baloteli,veron,Shevchenko that failed woefully in Premiership.Apart from being flopped at west brom,Ideye has been a good striker in his various club sides.He had a better club goal ratios than success,though injuries did not help success. I don't know why w are clamouring for injury prone striker as d answer to eagles striking position.No doubt Success has d talent,d skill,d strength and pace but goal ratio is not d solution and to make matter worst very prone to injury and no coach w bank on injury prone player.Pls ask Anichebe,if not for injuries that hampered his football career and still hampering it,i w rate him than any other present Eagles strikers but i cannot pick him coz is injury prone. I w never forget what happened during u17 that Awoniyi needs to come in for injured Success and salvaged d situation,success injury nearly ruined our chances at d tournament and till today d guy is still battling with injuries. The question is this do w need to bank on injury prone player and to make d matter worst w are even rating him higher than players who have showed us what they can do in d national team. Iheanacho rise in d national team doesn't gives player like success an automatic shirt in d national team coz in this thread w have been hearing Nwakili,Osimihen,Nwobodo,pls national team are not for kids but super kids like Iheanacho,Iwobi,Ndidi who proved to us they have it all to slug it out with big boys. I remember against Algeria d big boys raised to d occasion to save us namely Mikel,Moses and Musa when he came in A free injury Success should prove himself at Watford first b4 national team. |
LifeofAirforce1:Pls stop this,this is a public function and d lady cannot claim anything,though she messed up not asking for pics with d nigga but changing seat by wizkid is out of it.Tubaba can never do such |
tbaba1234:Yes but let leave it for Rohr to decide |
terzurum5:Old guys in d house who remember Ojokojo Torunarigha of old 3sc. |
sarrki:Good but Buhari get choice when he described Saraki as very influential politician during his(saraki)birthday. |
safarigirl:Yea we have guys like that who are truly naija but always see anything about naija as sub standard,most based abroad and some in naija.I do argue with friends here in my base especially whites and some Africans including Nigerians who believed Africa are cheats when it comes to age. |
terzurum5:Yea u are right,we have real guys who don't lie about their age.I remember a friend named Niyi Ogunlana from secondary school straight to old Kwara United and our age group in sec sch was 15-17 years.Also a friend Tolagbe Alanamu 16 years old then and still in sec school who was dropped at d last minute for celestine Babayaro(Japan 93) For instance telling me Taiwo Awoniyi is over age,i w argue it to d letter that d boy is not coz i know him very well but to some people he is over age coz they always see Nigeria as a cheat. We have many kids out there who are young and talented all w need is to tap them young.My son is just 7years,taller than 8,9,10 years old kids in d neighborhood and better footballer than his peers coz i introduced him to football at a very early stage. |
komekn:Well u are absolutely right but the local coaches are not d only culprits,their foreign counterparts are not left out. Did you remember Emeka Ezeugu under westerhoff who had most of his career in India league but always making westerhoff team even to US 94.This is a guy that has nothing to show in his club career. What of Mike Emenalo that made US 94 despite zero appearance for Einthract Trier a 2nd tier team in German league(93-94)though he had average W/C outing replacing injured Iroha at US 94. Furo Iyenemi under Binfere Jo,despite always on the bench with Sion,made Sydney and afcon 2000 and his ability was always questionable.Also Chukwu Ndukwe under Bonfere Jo,despite zero appearance with Bari made afcon 2000,though scored in the final but making the team was questionable. Also Sani Kaita under Thijs Libreght,this is a player that was loaned to three different clubs in a season 09-2010(locomotives Moscow,vladikavkaz,kharkiv)but still make d team to 2010 W/C. Not forgetting how Joseph Dosu made the team to Atlanta 96,though had a good outing.The scenario concerning Dosu invitation was business like between Bonfere Jo and Churchill Olishe coz Dosu appearance at Atlanta w seal a deal with Regggiana fc which Churchill already brokered for Dosu. There are a lot of things that happened behind d scene that w fans w find it difficult to believe coz there are some players till today Nigerians are wondering how they managed themselves into d team either under d local or foreign coach. |
slimfit1:Slimfit i see ya face.Wetin Saraki do u na.Pls praise him for once so that people can respect your comment on this forum.Even if u don't like him,just be objective in your comment towards our senate president coz this initiative is good irrespective of his political character which applied to all Nigeria politicians.Pls name one that is corruption free. |
mu2sa2:kai see comment!wahala dey |
acenazt:Why Beatle,pls come to Dubai and see love-vendor Beatle with full A/C and navigation system. |
Orkpekyandega:Olishe should keep quiet coz we have move on |
goldfish80:I quite agreed with u but on Lukman Haruna i want to say your friend did not tell u d truth coz Haruna in one of his interviews said Mikel was his role model and i don't think a player that was in camp with Mikel in 2003 w called Mikel a role model.Though going to U17 camp thrice is a cheat but twice is understandable. I believe going to U17 camp twice doesn't mean u are over age.I remembered a friend named Tolagbe Alanamu a secondary school boy then that was dropped for Celestine Babayaro at d last minute and also James Obiorah who was dropped coz he was too young but later captained 1995 U 17. If u can recollect Kanu and Emma Babayaro were member of U 20 Mauritius 93 but later drafted to Japan bound U 17 93 by advice of Westerhoff to Fanny Amu.This doesn't portrayed them as an over aged coz Kanu still went ahead to have a wonderful career than any of his mate in Japan 93 squad. Am not saying there is no over age but d way w always goes about it is not good for our players.It was on this Forum somebody was saying Seyi Olofinjana should be 45 years of age and i need to come out and said Seyi is not up to 40 coz w played sch football together,even player like Emma Olisadebe who played for Poland during 2002 world cup,this are guys i know very well coz w played sch football together. Ndidi MRI failing doesn't mean d guy was 25 years old then,though i don't know his actual age but d guy is still young and there is no need to debate his age. In d 80s and 90s i can say we are a cheater coz i can remembered vividly Nigeria was banned from age tournament due to age discrepancies on Andrew Uwe and Samson Siasia passports and it was discovered during seoul 88 due to this Nigeria did not participate in age group btw 1990/91.I can say from year 2000 to date,things improved better against age cheating. |
soletar:Easy Mr high IQ if u don't want to be mentioned then get out of here |
