Better for Peseiro to search from NPFL if we can't find good foreign based keeper and let's deal with this goalkeeping wahala for once.I can stake it that we have talented keepers in NPFL that just need half of opportunities the likes of Okoye and Uzoho got but who is ready to gamble on them,hope Peseiro got the balls to do so.

That goalkeeping department might be our biggest undoing if the coaches don't act... Okoye and Uzoho have become bench warmers at their clubs,and they aren't spectacular in the GWG... Nothing stops the coach from dropping them and trying others... After the world cup, we have a lot of qualifiers lined up, so there won't be much time for experiments

What do you expect from JSS3 student who jumped classes to do SSCE and was assisted to pass the exam,getting to university would be difficult... Imagine not talented division four keeper playing in regional league made eagles and his agent seized the opportunity to market him,joined Rotterdam based on Nigeria keeper status and had modest outing in a lowly league but a perceived Watford number one got exposed during pre season,now rotating as second and third keeper in Watford

It don dey wey man don dey watch eagles since 1980s,walai,Okoye damn lucky to keep for naija cos nothing special about him and till today even against very lowly Africa teams he has not done anything spectacular to deserve eagles number one though he has age on his side may be he would come good which I doubt then I would eat my words and apologize.

Dan,not might be our biggest undoing is understatement but has been our biggest undoing for past 7 years now, it cost us afcon and world cup qualification.

I just don't know why Alloy Agu ex goalkeeper trainer find it so difficult to get it right.Just check it out,Akpeyi,Ezenwa,Uzoho and Okoye,non of these keepers exude confidence.

If ordinary university coach can gave us Enyeama,Ejide and Aiyenigba,pls what are we saying....fact Enyeama had only Kenya friendly as his first international experience and made 2002 WC based on his calmness in goalposts and kept against England.It was after 2002 WC,Enyeama started having intercontinental experience with Enyimba ditto Ejide and later Aiyenigba joined the duo.

Kayode,Victor sochima and Adewale Adeyinka are better than the comedians we parade as goalkeepers. We need to give them a chance to perform. Our coaches should look inward.

Lets hope Ike Shorunmu would do better .. I want to see Adeleye start on Tuesday... He is playing in Israel, the same place Enyeama and Ejide made their names..

There was a time we had Enyeama who was capable, and his deputies Ejide and Aiyenugba were also good...

Now that I have watched the game, I am no longer so angry about the result. Okoye made a doltish error and they got a penalty.
Lucky goals.

It appears we played better than them overall, creating chances which were sadly, wasted by our forwards. We even got an identical chance to the one Okoye gifted them but our striker blew the chance. And we started the game with what is pretty much our second eleven.

BTW, Iwobi's goal was pure class.

Okoye is lucky that yesterday's game was played behind closed doors. If Nigerians had watched his show of shame, he would have received so much "love" on social media that he will disown Nigeria completely forever and ever grin

Going forward, we need creative midfielders in that team. It was the injection of Iwobi into the second half that gave us the edge. Playing two destroyers in the persons of Onyeka and Onyedika at the same time is a sure recipe for disaster.

We need Alhassan and Nwakali and any other creative CM/AM we can lay our hands on. Peseiro abeg!

Points Summary from Yesterday's game: NGA 2-2 ALG B

- Alex Iwobi's form is Permanent. Not only did he score with a wonder strike from outside the box, he also provided the Pre-assist for Dessers' goal. Iwobi didn't start the game but his entrance obviously changed the dynamics of the middle game yesterday.

- Cyriel Dessers scored from an Iheanacho Assist following an Iwobi Pre-assist but he should have had a brace as well after Iheanacho robbed the Algerian GK of the ball and put it on a plate for Dessers whose effort was blocked off the line by an Algerian defender.

- Kelechi Iheanacho came in and provided an assist for our second goal and also created another big chance for Dessers.

- Adebayo Adeleye had a decent test debut but looked a bit shaky as on one occasion his diving saved effort fell for an Algerian player before Moses Simon came to his rescue with a clearance.

- Raphael Onyedika impresses on his test debut. Even had a crack at goal saved in the first half.

- Savior Godwin is a Baller. He came into the game and created chaos for the Algerian left defensive channel. For a lad who naturally plays from the left of attack for his club, Casa Pia, he did really well. It was also his blocked effort that eventually fell for Iwobi to unleash that world class belter of a strike for our first goal.

- Calvin Bassey was adjudged to have fouled an Algerian player in the box but that looked soft to me. A soft penalty call. A shoulder shove and the player goes down... Penalty. Naaah... ain't no ref giving that in the EPL or Serie A. Lol


And Finally....

- Maduka Okoye. The less said the better.
Last game for the Super Eagles, he committed a Blunder.
Next game for the Super Eagles after the last, he commits another Blunder and this one even more hilarious and calamitous than the first.
Will Okoye ever learn??

Overall, we were the better side. Conceeded cheap goals caused by a GK calamity moment and a cheap pen call.
We created the most chances and with Iwobi especially, we took total control of the game from the middle influencing happenings in the final third. Take that sweet pre-assist pass for instance into the path of Iheanacho.

Good game, waiting for the main one on Tuesday.

No, Papa Haaland. Mbanu. Alhassan is no destroyer. He may disguise as one due to his workrate but no... he is also a midfield dictator.

Now, when you think of Alhassan, the best analogy I can give you is to think of an Ngolo Kante just starting out at Leicester. That is who Alhassan Yusuf is right now. At least in closest analogy terms for me.

A workaholic but highly cerebral central midfield player. A lad who combines insane workrate with his fine forward thinking ability on the ball. He defends and marks relentlessly as he also ball-plays and dictates plays comfortably.


But with Kelechi Nwakali.... you have a pure undiluted Central Midfield Playmaker. Decent defensive numbers but his strongest traits lie in his ability to dictate plays from deep and penetrate the final thirds either with progressive carries or with his lines-breaking passes.

So that is the difference between both. And we need BOTH.
