forgiveness:
Did you see me say anything bad against the players after the Algeria game?

We want to see the two goalkeepers because we heard they performed better than Okoye in training.

Why is he trying to block us from assessing them?

Perhaps, Rohr has made up his mind on Rohr hence wouldn't want these players to play else they perform well and it becomes hard to drop Okoye.

My brother, you're right.
Give the other two 45minutes, let's access them too.
simple !

smartsmith0907:
lemme give you an indepth analysis of these players

1. Uzoho ( APOEL) plays in Cyprus which is rated 16 by UEFA league rating:- uzoho came to the limelight in 2017 after becoming the youngest foreign Goalkeeper in LA liga and he consistent over the years from his move from deportivo to Elche to anorthosis and now APOEL he has been playing continuously have never heard Uzoho been out for months without playing unless he is injured

2. Okoye (Sparta Rotterdam) plays in Netherlands which is rated 10 according to UEFA league ranking ...okoye is the most undermined player here and damn underrated who ever says Okoye was invited coz he was commenting of NFF post that person is a nonentity and he is BALNTANT liars coz Okoye earned his invitation and was merited
lemme give his synopsis He started in Bayern Leverkusen and moved to Fortuna in 2017 he came to the limelight whe he SINGLE HANDEDLY save his team from relegation( oberliga ) making 5 appearances with 4 clean sheet and conceding just a goal who ever follow regionaliga will tell you how difficult it is to concede a goal in 4 matches vonsidering the scoring spree in the league this was when rohr discovered him In the 2018/2019 season, he became the club regular goalkeeper. He finished the season with 15 appearances, conceding 25 goals and keeping 3 clean sheets. this stat is very impressive considering his age and exposure at that time now he is in Sparta Rotterdam pushing for a No.1 spot

3. okiki LASK playing in Austria Ranked 12 according to UEFA league ranking :- I have a kinda close link with him coz have been following him since age 8 during his days in Asko donau linz
he came to the limelight in 2017 when he broke into LASK junior he went on 46 game spree and went to wels having 8games on his belt now he is in LASK first team playing a UEFA Competition and he will soon be their first choice considering his performance in his last match

now compare these players with alampasu who has played a total sum of 6 games since December 30 2015 till date international match included
https://www.footballcritic.com/dele-alampasu/profile/65554
and played for ventspils which is currently 36 according to UEFA league ranking so my broda the trio has been consistent over the years and are playing right now in a better league than alampasu I understand you're a fan but his time will surely come

Bro, we are not talking about their club or whatever. The point is 3 goalkeepers were called up for friendly. One has already been giving a chance, the other two should be given time too,let's see what they can do too. simple!
about the bolded, make I mention the person?

benji93:
What a bunch of crap. What a bunch of crap. Be careful. Be careful. You have just wriiten off and condemned goalkeepers you are yet to be tested. Na only you know. Speak for yourself. Maduka is warming the bench at Sparta. . The coach won't even feature him in cup matches.

apt!

benji93:
I am absolutely furious bout this goalkeeper issue. Is that not the logical thing to do? If na keeper get problem we go know say na keeper get problem. Some of una dey talk say we go complain if we lose again. Yes we will. The last time we lost Maduka wasn't even properly tested. The Algerians were not good, we only took 'not good' to another level. . You called three goalkeepers for friendly matches and you won't test the other 2.Se dis Baba get coaching qualifictions sha? We sure say this guy na German so? . This looks as if he's setting himself for failure. Why would any coach do something like this. Abi na fake news ni? .

gbam! I thought I'm the only one on this my brother. Make the coach give them time make we see Wetin dem go offer.

JohnBullMySon:
he is the coach and you're a spectator. He does not need to prove anything to you or to show you what they can offer, you're not with them on the training field okay? If he fumbles, he is the one that gets sacked by NFF not you. You people should allow him do his job jare.

k

andrewbaba44:
Awaziem haven’t done badly for the eagles

He did well as a RB for us remember?

You know he is predominantly a CB. With the capturing of the German boys, a fit-again Ebuehi and arrival of Sanusi and Ehiz, he might be dropped which I think is unfair .

smartsmith0907:
1. tobias has been awesome since day 1 in training he is in contention for No.1 lask first team and 100% sure he will be their number GK have you watched Tobias ?? I guess not, coz you won't have even talked about him in this manner
watch out for in his Europa game against Spurs

2. okoye ;- his invitation was osihmen,chidebere,tijani and onyeka kind of invitation do all these player merit it when They were all invited hell No!!!
Okoye was invited coz there was no depth in the GK department uzoho too was just a 19 player playing in the second team of deportivo LA Coruna then all these players were playing at a low level but the coach saw potential in them and invited them and mind you the likes of aiyenugba and osigwe were all playing in a better than Uzoho yet he was invited no caps Okoye is talented and full of potentials talents doesn't lie thats why he could move from German 4th division to eredivise in just a season that a big progress for me and he is the second goalkeeper and he is pushing for the No.1 spot he deserves the No.1 spot they are having GK issue in Rotterdam and am sure his coach will proud of the performance he put against world class player like mahrez.

Bro, all you wrote here are biased analyses. Remember you gave a report of how Yakubu have been good in training too especially his footwork, you reported how good Dele has been with his reflexes. Fact is these guys have been invited already so giving them time to prove themselves is a no brainer. Are you now telling me they don't have potential too?

@ the first bolded, you already contradicted your earlier claim of Okoye playing in a higher level, that was why he is clearly ahead.

@ the second bolded, one thing you should know is, that call up and his brief cameo against Brazil might have indirectly influence his move to Rotterdam. It is not as if he pulled an Oliver kahn

I think it will really make sense if Rohr can test all the GKs rather than putting all his eggs in one basket.

BascoVanVeli:
A reserve team player is absolutely better than a guy who just participated in the Europa League?

my brother I tire o. Be like many people are catching the komekniella ibilenism virus on this thread.

smartsmith0907:
Let us be calming down
He is trying to boost his confidence we all know by November the likes of Yakubu and alampasu Wont be in the SE let's be realistic uzoho,Okiki,and Okoye are the main deal the trio both play in a higher level and they're absolutely better than alampasu and yakubu .

@the bolded, based on what? So you will pick Tobias that has not even play a single match for us? The fact that they play in higher level doesn't prove anything. Maduka was playing at a very lower level when he got called up, I demanded the rationale behind his invitation and someone on this thread told me it is because he do like and comment on NFF posts on Twitter and Instagram. So the higher level talk shouldn't come into play here. If you're good,you're good.

JohnBullMySon:
do you know how well those keepers have performed of late, and more importantly, their confidence level? If they enter and fumble now, you will see people calling for Rohr's sack here. Is it not the same friendly for testing players that people are complaining all over here as if we lost afcon final.

can you tell me the confidence level of Okoye before he played against Algeria? If they enter and fumble, then we will know they aren't good enough. Imagine Uzoho and Maduka not available for an important match, is it then we will start experimenting? Dele and Yakubu should play 45 minutes each and let's see what they can offer. If they are not good, we move on and if they are good, then we will know we now have different options to call on. I can't remember the last time Awaziem plays as a CB for us yet some guys here are already tagging him a flop not knowing the guy was not even given a chance to prove himself. It is not as if that maduka is that good sef

JohnBullMySon:
if he starts a new keeper and loses again, all of una go line up here again to throw emotional insults to him.

Sorry guy,what you said here does not make sense. How sure are you that the other GKs are not better than Okoye? What is the use of friendly match if not to test new players?

Subzero047:
That loss to Algeria has forced Rohr's hand, he only has to start players that has been tested

No more room for experiments

Has Dele and Yakubu been tested? What is the use of inviting 3 GKs for 2 FRIENDLY matches and playing just one?
That was how Henry was benched throughout AFCON and Musa was misfiring. And why is there no more room for experiments? What is the use of friendly matches if not to experiment? you sef think am na

5inchdick:
Oga, I saw the game and both teams were horrible. The Algerians only trump us in winning every loose ball.

Nothing concerns me with Algeria. I am just disappointed at the poor display of our players.

Neobulletzz:
Me I sha want make we cap Akinfenwa ASAP

I am not sure naija has a rugby team.

smartsmith0907:
we're likely to play a 3-5-2 formation / 4-4-2 80% sure

3 5 2

okoye

akpo. balogun. Ajayi


Sanusi. Tijani. onyeka. ebuehi

iwobi

Musa. nacho

Okoye again? That better not happen.

5inchdick:
In what manner did we lose?

You should go and re watch the match and get your answer sir .

minfelix:
It's not excuse it's d fact, una 9ja fans sha want see eagles on 100games unbeaten, , must we win everything?....were we disgraced? No!
Jus one mumu win from Afcon champions in a friendly everyone has started singing noises

Losing no be the koko. . Na the manner wey we take lose be the problem.

Danielnino00:
This one hit me o

Manager not coach..

Very true

There is a bit different between the two na. He is good in team building but coaching na wahala. NFF messed up big time by not appointing a good coach as his assistant.

Spy360:
We lack an AM to enforce a 4man defense against City. So we could likely see Arteta continue with a double pivot in midfield hoping that our wingers and wingbacks will come to the party.

Ok sha

Subzero047:
What did we even learn from the Algeria match?

Rohr is becoming too conservative. He is a manager,not a coach.

Spy360:
Apt.

If we play 4man defense, Xhaka will always start because he is leftie. But personally I see Arteta maintaining a 3man defense. So expect Partey - Ceballos

A 3 man defense? Nothing last forever bro,we will soon be found out. A 4 man defense is more beneficial.

iamoyindamola:
Are you sure?
Xhaka is slow, can't make decisions on time plus many other things

I understand your point but he will likely be forming a double pivot with Partey and I think they will complement each other.

iamoyindamola:
I know of defence but midfield, I haven't take note of that
It's dangerous to have partey and xhaka, partey is more mobile and that will expose xhaka

It won't expose Xhaka. It will even help solidifying our DM the more.

iamoyindamola:
We are in spirit jare
Partey as box to box while El neny stay back
Ceballos in a more advanced role cos of his ball movement

In a Midfield of 3, Xhaka will always start unless Saka starts in Midfield. Arteta will never play the same legged players together. That is why Mari and Gabriel were signed because all our defenders are right legged.

Kbs468:
It's a very big fat lie that Ozil's rejected an £18 million payoff when his anticipated total of £350K per week for 52 weeks is £18.2 million.


The current claim by Ozil is even £250K basic salary for 52 weeks that would have been £13 million which the board is not willing to pay as well while still bargaining on it

Ok... that was a misinformation then.

Kbs468:
So because his basic salary is £250K and the remaining £100K is performance related bonuses is why ARSENAL is doing the above by refusing to pay him off and not including him on match day squad.

This is absolute madness from a shitty and stingy board.

No wonder he is refusing to bulge from his standing position.

so Arsenal's freezing out is beneficial to both camps as £100K is saved per week by the board and £250K per week salary is good too for Ozil without playing since the payoff amount being packaged is no way near £150K per week

Arsenal board can be silly at times but in this Ozil saga, they don't share the entire blame. I've been sitting on the fence concerning this matter simply because there is not enough info to fully understand the situation but shifting the entire blame on the board is somehow.
I understand some of we fans can be emotional.

Kbs468:
But what kind of pay off is Arsenal offering that £13 million is too big an amount that they are giving him £3 million.

it's very simple. pay him off and let him go please

£3million I think he was offered £18M

https://m.guardian.ng/sport/arsenal-offers-ozil-18m-pay-off-offer-as-willians-near-gunners-switch/amp/

Make we talk true, Rohr's is too defensive. Counter attack wey be our style sef, him nor dey field proper personnel. To make it worse, NFF appointed Yobo when we could have gone for an attack minded coach to complement Rohr
My starting line up for next match

Dele

Awaziem..... Balogun.......Omeruo


Aina........ Agu........Iwobi...... Tijani...... Sanusi

...... Dessers..... Kelechi......


Ejuke can come in for Kelechi later on

Yakubu too can be given some minutes.

andrewbaba44:
Walai that go sit down for bush sweet me

kokaneprodigy:
Nobody is saying Arsenal was wrong or right for dissociating, the fact is Ozil has done nothing wrong either, same way the employee in this case did no wrong by criticizing Trump. If the board feels there’s conflict of interest then they can severe the employee and pay him off and not using unnecessary PR to bully him out of the business.

But the guy is refusing to be paid off.

Danielnino00:
Onuachu isn't the kind of striker that thrives in a team where there is little creativity in midfield and poor crosses from the flank...
He shouldn't have started yesterday...
He is a good player,but in games like this,u need a striker that can drop deep and hustle for the ball and allow your wingers cut in occasionally...
U saw how Osimhen effortlessly provided two assists in his last match against Lesotho?.
Our attack generally was poor yesterday... Iwobi was d only midfider that tried to get the ball forward in the first half... Onyeka and Ajayi were just noddin and kicking the ball around...

Gbam! At at least if you can't run,hold up the ball for your fellow players.

andrewbaba44:
Lol on a normal day ,just see wetin you Dey talk

So they didn’t do well because it’s not a normal day

Na only onauchu wey no see better ball you Dey criticize but siding others because they are your favorites

Continue

You no see where i criticize Ekong too?

Oga,i don't have any favorite player. Infact,go sit down for bush.
