Egbon, let me respectfully challenge you sir, how did you come about your proposition?

They are better,that’s the fact,playing regularly is the koko for goalkeeper confidence.

I will never pick a Cyprus league bench player over very active and rated NPFL keeper who does it week in week out,just check out Amas Obasogie performance last season in CAF cup….

Enough of overrating a 32 caps Uzoho who didn’t had a match to be remembered for in national team.Also Maduka didn’t made any appearance in a league last season except two matches in league cup and FA cup and you expect me to rate the two mediocre who came into eagles unmerited from regional league and division three and yet to convince me for once.

Joebie:
Kai.. see mentality!

Gone are the days Nigerians are so passionate about super eagles cuz then who born a very poor keeper who cost us WC having gut to make this public gibberish.

Uzoho snapchat showing Nigeria national team is going nowhere,meaning we are parading bunch of arrogant players who are not ready to accept criticism and improve.

Even older players criticizing dem na to reply back in a disrespectful manners.

Have you heard of Arthur Okonkwo Arsenal reserve keeper.

If Uzoho who was essentially a youth goalkeeper when he was called to the National team. Then why not Okonkwo who has better pedigree by comparison.

It's a matter for discussion and appraisal not dismissal.

you know I am a big fan of Olisa Ndah. A back three of Bassey-Torunarigha- Ndah go make sense

If Ndah was any good he would not be playing low quality football in SA ,it's that simple.

Better player's gravitate to the best clubs and leagues ,no argument.

If we should approach Arthur, do you think he would agree to play for us?

Scout wey gave us poor goalkeepers we are still battling with….If Akpeyi No keep today na Ezenwa tomorrow and the next day na Uzoho and the next was Maduka from regional league,credit to Balogun and Ekong who knew they always having mediocre in goal post….time for our CBs to raise their games or else next Afcon would be worst….Abi no be the same Saudi Arabia our brother Mali beat 3-1 and some they write stories on how our team is taking shape based on São Tomé,Saudi Arabia and 10 man Mozambique.

In addition the ten man Mozambique didn't even train before the game.
Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Benin and South Africa in our world cup grp are considerably better than Mozambique who are on the streets protesting a Nigerian-like kangaroo elections.

Ezenwa seems to have retired. I would gladly take him over these lot we are parading. Bless him, he never made any high profile error when he played.
Thomas Partey wouldn't have scored that goal against Ezenwa , I can bet my house on that.

Very well said sir. It is an aberration. Am not canvassing for NPFL but the truth is bitter to our ears, an average Npfl goal keeper playing every match day is 100% better than any bench warmer goalkeeper we have in Europe

I will not give up on the the team yet till i see our squad list for the two games in November. If the coach stick with the three average goalkeepers he has been giving call up to then i will zero my mind on we going beyond the round of 16.
The personnel from defence to the attack is loaded but you need a good and not average goalkeeper to win Afcon.

Who and who Sir

That chap has been giving our matches to the highest bidder, he has virtually been stuck in the backwaters of Europe, and with meagre salry that can't give him a good retirement cover....imagine his response to genuine criticism and you will understand my position about him.
He pawned us with that Partey goal and the Saudi goal.

At this stage, there is nothing wrong in canvassing for NPFL goalkeeper with full chest. The NPFL cannot be that terrible that it can’t produce a goalkeeper better than Uzoho and Maduka.

What’s the point of having a goalkeeper if every shot at him leads to a goal. We can’t even vouch for our goalkeeper (who is supposed to be our last line of defense) to save the day if one of our defenders makes defensive error.

I said it in an earlier post. He should be investigated for match fixing. I know betting syndicates target low profile players like him to play ball with.
We may be in for a shocker if there was an investigation.

And you won't be wrong if you bet so.

I agree his snap story is foolish. I agree it is messed up. But then what do you think is giving him the liver to do such? The handwriting is clearly written. Uzoho has the backing of Peseiro. He will be our Number 1 in CIV. It is inescapable.

Make we see November first. If Uzoho is starting those games then we can conclude

Our obsession with anything foreign in Nigeria is always baffling. The moment a player plays abroad then he or she has more qualities than the ones still playing at home.
Uzoho can never give what he does not have same goes for other Super Eagles players. Uzoho's elevation to the No.1 goalie spot to me, was basically on his playing in europe. And never on personal qualities because he wasn't that good with exceptional goalkeeping qualities. He was a 3rd choice goalkeeper at the FIFA U17 world cup for Nigeria in UAE.
The Super Eagles is a composition of good talents and each one of them wants to show off, especially the forward players. That is why they always end up making very poor decisions. Only teamwork will take them far. Working together is success.

Anyone have an idea on who's sponsoring the letsdoitagain trend where celebrities show their support for the super eagles for the forthcoming afcon. Atleast I have seen two people. That bbn winner and the gwr holder Hilda. Hope no be nff dey sponsor them Sha.

Chairman, you're one of the few people on here whose takes I respect deeply but I think most of you are grossly exaggerating this whole friendly match thing. It's almost as if we're stuck on the minor negatives and overlooking the significant positives. The Saudi game for example was a case of terrible goal keeping and us missing some easy chances, infact Saudi had more goal threatening attempts against Mali compared to us (good thing I watched the game to get some comparative perspective). I can't remember Uzoho making one single point blank save all 90 mins against Saudi save for that one speculative through pass he came out on time to save late in the first half, same against Mozambique. The Saudi approach against Mali was very different from ours and it can be argued Mancini showed us more respect cause he lined up Saudi to play a high line attacking formation against Mali, he clearly underestimated how very clinical and rapid the Malian team is on the break...two of the Mali goals came from long balls over the top to their pacey forwards who (unlike our forwards) took their chances with aplomb. Saudi played more compact against us yet we played through their defence couple of times with some good attacking combinations, save for very poor finishing/positioning by our fwds the scoreline should have looked less flattering to the Saudis. At the end friendly matches are meant to gauge loopholes in the team, it remains to be seen if the coaching team can fix those obvious loopholes by inviting better players and replacing the rubbish ones- both friendly matches clearly showed we will never struggle with creating an overload of goal scoring opportunities against any team, but we will be let down by our abysmal goal keeping situation and our never ending inability to defend easy set pieces... a star studded Ivory coast team just barely escaped a draw against a second string South African team yesterday, does that make CIV any less favorites at the AFCON? we all know Nigeria, CIV, Cameroon etc are traditionally not the best at friendlies, but are a different beast at tournaments. Mozambique actually qualified to the AFCON in a group marginally more competitive than ours, they aren't a bad team. We missed 6 gilt edged chances against them, who then can we blame for our profligacy in goal against a 10 man Mozambique team? maybe our much celebrated strikers are somewhat overhyped then

If Peseiro has the brains and balls to weed out Uzoho and actually take a chance with other GKs in the November WCQs, then I won't be worried even though we face Lesotho and Zimbabwe, teams we should have no problem dispatching ruthlessly with due respect to both teams, but then you can bet your live savings that with Uzoho in goal, we will let in useless goals.

Odunayaw:
Make we see November first. If Uzoho is starting those games then we can conclude

I don't mean any harm or malice here but it is only injury to Uzoho or the improved form of any other GK that can change Jpes' mind for the November games.

Trust me. Jpes is fixated on Uzoho being his number 1.

But time will tell as always. I WILL BE THERE.

Those of you who saw the match against Mozambique, how was Toru's performance?

ChrisKels:

Had a decent cameo, can't remember him putting in a wrong foot all game perhaps save for his poor positioning in the first Mozambique goal. I hope to see more of him with Bassey in the world cup qualifiers.

It's important to change the mindset that automatically assumes players in Africa are inferior to those in Europe. Several factors, like age and place of birth, affect a player's opportunity to play in Europe. For instance, if Ndah were born in Europe or under 20, he'd have a better chance. Many Egyptian and South African players, among others, are as good as or better than some European players. Today, Ndah is the only Nigerian defender who possesses qualities like speed, ball-playing ability, passing accuracy, strength in aerial duels, and excellent ball awareness.
