Well, he never featured. And I dont recall him making the matchday squad for a competitive fixture. His time will come but currently he should just keep it going with Chernomrets. He wasted a whole seasom in Europe without getting a single game at Polissa Zhytomyr (except a game with their second team in a much lower tier).

Aniagboso is finding his feet now, so let time do its work.
He made the matchday squad but as an used sub in our home loss to Guinea Bissau(0:1).

Like I said he never featured and rightly so. Aniagboso was barely finding his feet then and is only doing so now. I dont seriously pay attention to whoever our 3rd keeper is in major games. Some I recall, some I dont so Aniagboso never registered with my memory and was never expected to feature.

You are not making sense. What you quoted clearly stated that Aniagboso is not in the top flight but in the 2nd tier.

You said he is in the top flight Which is wrong info. Stop trying to alter your words in order to feel good. Just accept you were wrong and move on. Simple.
And you would feel good not accepting you were not truly following him to know my inference was from his top flight into the present cos I ordinarily am wary of lack of top flight exposure in my campaign for players hence my bringing to bear first his top flight first. Yes grammatically I was wrong in my answer to the man who asked the question of top flight but inferentially no I wasn't. You were not absolute in your claims of following him because even Osimhen knows him and was surprised at his age when he was introducing himself in the camp at that time.

You stated here: wrongly infer that he is in the top flight; his trajectory started there.
Below is the question u were asked.

lbrichman2:
Aniagboso is in Ukraine?
Top flight or the lower league?
Below is your answer. TOPFLIGHT. WHICH IS VERY WRONG INFO.


Cocony:
Top flight.

On 6 September 2024 Aniagboso joined Ukrainian Premier League side Chornomorets Odesa, making his debut against LNZ Cherkasy on 28 September 2024. Making his debut in the Ukrainian Premier League at the age of 20 years 166 days, Aniagboso became the youngest foreign goalkeeper in the Ukrainian national championship.
This is where it all started. You were asked a direct question and you answered with a wrong info. I corrected it and you have been on a mission to shift the posts since then. Just let it rest Cocony.

Only thing I didn't like was allowing Benin to have the ball for way too long. That style of play isn't sustainable. U are basically asking the other team if they have the quality to beat you.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this, cos most people are too carried away with the scoreline, thinking we were 100%. It still boils down to having a more coordinated midfield. We are overworking our defence, and when they slip up, we'll blame them, leaving our midfielders who can't hold the ball for long enough to control more possession and the game.

It's the result I'm happy for, but am still not impressed with our play generally!

TheSuperNerd, there is no post shifting here. I answered top flight and same me made a post immediately that showed where he is which countered the first answer of top flight so would you have had me edit the top flight out to appear accurate. No. Hence the spacing I made. So chill, there was no wrong info. I still maintain you were not absolutely following him with your responses. No argument intended.

It looks like you want Charlesemeka85 to combine attending to his newborns and standing guard against any Nwakali talk. 😂

But Nwakali has not featured for Barnsley's first team since the 25/26 season began so he cant be an option.

Right now we need Ebenezer Akinsanmiro added to the team for the playoffs. Christantus Uche is there but his profile is different to Akin's. Chelle just haven't figured out Uche yet.
maestro is linking up play with jaw dropping through passes in the midfield of Barnsley’s 2nd team 😊🤣

So your mission is to show I have not been following Aniagboso? I guess I was wrong to give you attention because of the Super Eagles Calculations... Lol. I picked up on your tendency to feel important when I corrected you about Yekini's goals. You said he scored 4 or 5 vs Ethiopia but records clearly show you are wrong. I corrected you but you kept yapping about other irrelevant info just to feel like you know what yoi are saying. That is a very bad look.

Now again, you are corrected on where Aniagboso ACTUALLY features in the Ukrainian league system and you are still dragging talk.

If I was not following Aniagboso, I would not report his first club joined on this thread back in 2023. And if yoU truly followed, u would not say he is CURRENTLY IN THE TOPFLIGHT.

I have just been reminded that Stanley Nwabali lost both parents within a very short period

The guy may be going through some stuff but we don't take mental health seriously here.

Both the NT and his club should be in a position to offer support.

He WAS. Good. It is a big difference to where he is now.

Aniagboso debuted in the top flight. Playing 4 games and the team got relegated (already mentioned this part). But that is not the issue.

The issue is where he is now. You flunked on that.

Cocony:
He was in the top flight. The fact that he plays and has 9cleansheets is a good reason to invite him as a backup competitive plan

Your answer (look again below in bold) says you dont. You dropped his debut info from last season and ended it there not indicating where he is now in 25/26.

And from the way you are dragging this, u probably have an immediate Aniagboso agenda to push and maybe to have him installed as our #1 for the playoffs. I hope you are not towing this line.

Don't get all sensitive on me man.

What I meant was that I see no reason why you'll not join us in the USA, if your team fail then it would be nothing less of a curse because if they play Gabon the way they played Benin yesterday then they are guaranteed a win on the continental play offs and I Also Don't see those other teams outside of Africa beating them.

Very false assertion. If you truly follow him you will not state in surprise I used the word recall. Chill bro. Emphasis is not on you, has not been on you and will never be on you.

By the way watch the video of his first invite where he introduced himself and Osimhen and co were seated trying to make humor of his age at the time.

The early goal unsettled them, if they grew into the game it would have been harder for us. I think getting an early goal thru osihmen will always do the magic as the opposition will be too weary to launch forward. Remember we also got early goals against Rwanda away. There was this early goal attempt too by osihmen against Zimbabwe that hit the bar, had that got in Zimbabwe would have been roasted. Our midfield is still a problem cos our folks there don’t have the lungs to maintain consistency all through and if we don’t score early enough things start getting difficult to grind out a result

Benjamin Frederick and Olakunle Olusegun never knew it would be so soon,playing for eagles....former Senate President Bukola Saraki owner of ABS paid tribute to the two players for their outstanding performance.

Chelle got the ball and soon to see young players like Akinsanmiro,Eletu making the team.

I follow his Euro journey keenly and he was initially not getting gametime at all until just last season in only 4 games. I didnt pay attention to him being invited and not used in the NT especially because of his inaction. 3rd keepers dont stay in my head for all games.

I cant even name all the games Amas Obasogie has been called up for. Because I dont pay mind to it.

So sorry, but you make no sense. You are just pissed at being caught and corrected with wrong info twice.

Be humble and learn man.

Assumptively, just same way we were like Chippa United what when we needed to displace/replace Francis Uzoho.
Anyone who takes his or her chances in 2 or 3 consecutive matches he is played in becomes a threat from historical antecedents of Nigerian football.
We are not at the same situation we were during uzoho's time
Uzoho was atrocious..
Nwabali is good
We are just concerned about his attitude and behavior, not his ability..

So the keeper we need is someone Nwabali will truly respect or fear..
We need a proven keeper to push Nwabali, not just someone with potential

No analysis needed. Facts stated. Our focus is on the first game of the playoffs which if by dint of hard work and better luck we scale through we hope for same to recur in the 2nd game.

Best of luck 👍.

We have a playoffs to execute and we need two kinds of players:

1. Battle bred warriors.

2. Players with the quality to uplift the team.

And we have someone trying so desperately to push Aniagboso on us. Agenda and some of you ehn. This is why I am always wary of new monikers. Some of una get hidden agenda. You will first wanna get noticed and then with time, reveal your true mission here.

Please it is dead on arrival. Let Aniagboso keep doing well in the Ukraine 2nd division. His time will come as he keeps improving.

Thanks but didnt need the history lessons. Yekini didnt score 5 vs Ethiopia in 1993. He scored 3 okay. His only 4 goals game was vs BFA in 1991. So it is okay, memory can fail. But now u know the facts.

And as for Aniagboso... try to stay updated on the lad more okay. He is not in the topflight currently

And his team too. They have not lost a game 2-1 yet be it in the league or the cup. Cup loss was pens.

So kindly drop the aniagboso agenda act and speak realistically on the fact that he is just finding his feet in lower league football and should be allowed to do so without rushing him into the Super Eagles especially for the playoffs.

Finito.
