When they got to the world cup and AFCON later, what did they do? They replaced him. They recognised that a goalkeeper in lowly competitive enviroment should not be their first choice.

CapitalCee:
Fredricks is not a GK, he has a Defensive leaders in Bassey and Ola Aina who who plays in EPL to guide him. And he is only on loan in that team, he only made his debut recently so will definitely move back to his parent EPL club. Nwabali on the other hand got exposure nearly 2 years now, yet hr couldnt get a move to the top 4 teams in SA or even top African teams or Europe.

quickberry:
They were not an elite team as at 2002. Stop this misinformation. Their rise actually started in 2002, but they were not already an elite team🙄

Enyeama waz never fumbling crossess in SE shirt. He was solid throughout his time in SE.

CapitalCee:
A team that won back to back league title in Nigerian league in the early 2000s are not elite? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nigerian teams are some of the best in Africa at that time. For Enyimba to win the Nigeriam league that time back to back they are elite. And in any case Enyeama was not the first choice GK in 2002 na. He only became first choice in around 2004 when Enyimba was dominating African football. His fellow Team mates at that time where even Super Eagles players already. So Enyeama wasnt just lifted from No where.

CapitalCee:
I watched the match, Enyeama did well, but like I said it was a dead rubber game. If we had drew or won Sweden in the previous match, and needed a result against England, Ike Shorommu would have been in goal. That match was not a pressure cooker match, so no need to panic and England only needed a draw.

In any case Enyimba has already won the league in NPFL in 2002, so Enyeama was coming from a team with winning mentlity, not relegation fodders

quickberry:
You are the one deviating, because he won the Nigerian league before the world cup, he was good enough to face that England squad?🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
Oga pls if you dont know something, kindly rest it. Enyeama did struggle with crosses in the GWG.

This is common knowledge.

forgiveness:
I understood what he wrote. When we clamored for Victor Moses to switch allegiance, this was exactly the reaction of peeps here. No he is not available blah blah blah.

The Bobo changed mind and switched Nationality to Nigeria. The rest is history.

He is available based on FIFA rule. Perhaps, you should say it SEEMS, he is not ready to play for us.

CapitalCee:
Thats the same point i was making. So he has the right ingredients to make the SE squad albeit not the first choice. Nwabali lacks that as his team is not competing anywhere near the top

CapitalCee:
You are once more resorting to insults.

quickberry:
Comprehension is your problem. Go back and read what I posted. I said as at 2002, shey u get am now?🤣🤣🤣🤣

CapitalCee:
As at 2002, Enyimba already won back to back leagues in a more competitive Nigerian league. At that time he was not even the first choice. Ike Shorommu was. He only became first choice when his team were dominating Africa

CapitalCee:
My point still stands Enyeama might be fumbling crosees a few times but he was solid most times even during his early days in SE.

The mainpoint we are debating here is that Enyeama was in team where winning was the focus. Unlike Nwabali QED.

My brother, Ezenwa was not a newbie going into the game against Cameroun in 2017 on our way to 2018 WORLD CUP. After being part of the 2007 U20 TEAM BOTH AFCON AND THE WORLD CUP FOR U20s HE HAD BEEN A REGULAR IN THE NPFL.
YES ENYEAMA WAS NEW BUT NOT JITTERY AND WAS ALREADY TESTED IN A FRIENDLY AGAINST KENYA AND HAVING LOST OUT ON QUALIFICATION, THE RIGHT THING ANY COACH WILL DO IN HIS 3RD MATCH THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE TURN OF EVENTS AS PER QUALIFICATION IS TO GRANT APPEARANCES TO SOME OF HIS PLAYERS. ENYEAMA WAS NOT JITTERY, COCKY NOR DID HE DISPLAY ARROGANCE TOWARDS ANY OF HIS CAPTAINS IN THE SUPER EAGLES.

Odunayaw:
E reach Ezenwa's turn now, double standard.

Talking about antics in the latest qualifiers is a sound argument but this one about his club or whatnot is mere gymnastics

Confidence and bad goalkeeping mixed together

Pls point out which bad goalkeeping

quickberry:
Not few times, it was his major weak point in his early days. It seems you did not watch him in his early days

TheSuperNerd:
Misinformation. The only reason Joseph Wollacott missed the 2022 world cup was a hand injury.
They realised nothing because even recently their 1st choice GK is Benjamin Asare of Accra Hearts of Oaks.

Coach Otto Addo prefers a Local GK ahead of Ati Zigi based in Europe (St Gallen in Switzerland). Also, he still calls Wollacott as one of his 3 GKs.

So again cease the Cho Cho Cho and rest. Let things take shape naturally.

Cocony:
Read your post in comparison with mine and if you are not just trying to argue in a skewed way, what point did you make with this post?

Do every one a favour: produce Enyeama's videos of his 1st 4 Super Eagles appearances to prove the truth you think you are telling while I will try to get Ejide's 1st 4matches videos from the match against NAMIBIA in 2001(if I am not mistaken) so as to find out who fumbled with crosses early; since you don't want to agree with what CapitalCe prove to you that where you play matters as well as the quality of opposition you face and I will lastly add the quality of Coaching you receive. The videos can be from today onwards peradventure we have work to attend to. Not a must today alone.

quickberry:
The same goal keeper was there for us when your Maduka dey fumble. He was the best thing after bread and beans then🤣. You guys did not remember that he was at Chippa Utd at the last AFCON. We all know what we are doing😅😅

quickberry:

CapitalCee:
He might be good, but his mentality and situational awareness is poor, as evidenced by his errors and attutude in the recent rounds of qualifiers. Football is not about ability you need the right mentality and awareness especially for a GK.

Kog45:
I disagree totally....Ezenwa was not even regular in NPFL he faced Cameroon during 2018 WC qualifiers...Enyeama a rookie in NPFL was in goal against good shooters Paul Scholes and David Beckham...yes Nwabali is messing up of late but the same Nwabali of Chippa was great during last Afcon.

I will only bench Nwabali now for his attitudes not cuz of Mbeumo or Aubameyang

CapitalCee:
A bottom placed team keeper in SA should not be our first choice in SE. Heck even that Rwandan GK is in Keizer Chiefs. Washinton Arubi of Zimbabwe id the GK of a team far higher than Chippa utd.

Odunayaw:
When he was making one on one saves and stopping penalties at AFCON there was no mentality or situational awareness

make e continue

CapitalCee:
Which one on one saves did he make in Afcon? On 2 rare occasion when our tight defence allowed a one to one agaisnt him versus Guinea bissau and Angola, he was either saved by the bar or the ball went wide. The one on one he faced away to Benin in the world cup qualifiers he conceded.

As for Penalties its anybodies game, evem though i will gove kudos to him
