Icon4s: The main game is in front. The preparation to select the best for each role is in camp. This is not the first time coaches opt for history over current form. However, repeatedly we have seen it not work. Akpeyi was a clear example. He was shaky and no way solid. Liked his footworks though. I pointed Bony's case at City. Oliseh did the same leaving Iheanacho out of the squad for so long. Hoddle did the same in France 98. Dunga dropped a top performing Neymar for 2010 World Cup. At the end, when looking back, the so called experience factor did not help. Remember Peter Rufai in France 98. Where was the help from his experience? |

TheGoodJoe:So, why do you think Rohr dropped Alampasu to the bench after his "brave, confident and commanding" exploits in camp? |

Icon4s: I did not pick or point out Osimhen. Rohr did. I did not point Alampasu Rohr did. I did not point out Musa Mohammed. Rohr did. I am talking of after he makes his selection of those who will come to camp, he should select the best performers in each role for the starting line-up. |

Icon4s: That is what I am saying. I am saying next time we should go for the best in camp because the so called experience that gave Akpeyi the starting Jersey did not help. He was weak and shaky. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Icon4s(m): 9:45am On Jan 05, 2017 |
TheGoodJoe:We are talking about a goal keeper's position. Forget Bony. If you feel Akpeyi was shaky then you should expect Alampasu to freeze to the ground. I am sure you know the magnitude of the importance of that game. You as a fan watching the game, were you not tensed up. Selecting a goal keeper for a game is far far different from selecting a striker for a game. |

Icon4s:That is why I said it mystified me. How do you expect Akpeyi to be weaker than Alampasu in training and be better than Alampasu in the main match? When we opt for the weaker option, you want me the better option will perform worse? Please. |

Enyeama Replies Rohr – Why Do People Take Pleasure In Lies Just Because Enyeama Is Mentioned https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/image-11.jpg Former captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Vincent Enyeama has replied comments made by the coach of Nigeria Gernot Rohr that he refused to take nor return his calls when he tried reaching him on phone. Speaking in Lagos during a media parley, Rohr said he reached out to the Lille shot stopper to help solve the team goalkeeper crisis, when Carl Ikeme pulled up injured before the World Cup qualifiers against Algeria but Enyeama didn’t take nor return his calls. “When we had crisis in our hands after Carl Ikeme’s injury, I called him (Enyeama) over 10 times and he never responded nor called back”, Rohr said to Owngoalnigeria.com. ” I am happy with how Daniel Akpeyi responded to the test when he was called up as emergency cover, but he needs to buckle up because we can’t solely depend on Ikeme”. However in a short reply to the story via his official twitter handle @Vinpee. Enyeama cleared the air by saying he didn’t get a call from the coach and wonder why he said so. ” Why do people take pleasure in lies just because Enyeama is mentioned. The coach never got me on phone, so I wonder why he said that”, he post right under the link of the story published by Owngoalnigeria.com. * With help From @Cybereagles. owngoalnigeria.com/2017/01/04/enyeama-replies-rohr-why-do-people-take-pleasure-in-lies-just-because-enyeama-is-mentioned/ |

terzurum5:Even in England the press is found complicit in the marketing of players for inducement by agents and other stakeholders. However, the Nigerian press I find to be lazy and lacking innovation, we do not highlight the attributes of local players. I remember seeing Etebo at Warri Wolves and thought this boy has something special. If Sunday Mbah had not gone to Afcon we wouldn't have known how good he was. Because the press didn't highlight him. I will say again outside Nigeria the UK has the largest pool of talented pool of Nigerian players. We shouldn't wait for the UK press to make noise about them before we do, the Nigerian press. Ademola Lookman is leaving Charlton Athletic for upwards of £10 million from league 1. How many more are there that are even better than him but not highlighted. |

Icon4s:Akpeyi was not as good as Alampasu. Alampasu was clearly the best keeper in camp. We settled for a weaker option. That is what the term experience does. It gives the coach an option of selecting weak players. I used to have is not property. 19 year old Alampasu has also given a good account of himself making smart saves in training the pick of the lot a reflex save of an iheanacho goal attempt He might however still not be considered to start in goal against the Algerians as Rohr might settle for one of the more experienced duo of Ikechukwu ezenwa or Chippa United Daniel Akpeyi http://www.soccerassembly.com/eagles-camp-ex-eaglets-alampasu-iheancho-dazzle/ |

terzurum5:Enyeama likes drama too much. Why will Rohr lie against him exactly? Everyone knows he's been courting him since he became the coach of the Eagles, and not once did Enyeama respond positively to the news. We love you Vince, but it's time to retire in peace. We will continue to remember your great exploits. |

terzurum5: Enyeama should not reply that way. He should get in touch with the coach and clear the problem. The coach said he called repeatedly and got no reply. Enyeama saying Rohr did not get him on phone does not disprove Rohr. Enyeama should get the coach's number from one of his Super Eagles friends, call Rohr and establish communication to prevent another mixup. |

TheGoodJoe:It actually took a lot of intelligence from the opposition Coach and players to hand Chelsea her first defeat in so many unbeaten displays. #Modified# That Coach is very intelligent. They came hard at us, but waited patiently to execute their aerial plans, Which Chelsea's defence could not handle. I just hope other Clubs do not get a clue from this encounter. |

lakesidepapa:Bro their midfield trio of Gueye, Diame and Kouyate is Stronger than ours of Mikel, Onazi, Ndidi/Oghenekaro, based on recent form and experience. The heart of their defence with Koulibali is better than ours. And ofcourse their full backs (Remember we practically do not have full backs yet) In their attack, Mane is better than Iheanacho/Ighalo. ( and safarigirl's Osimen )So? And let me add.......... I neither smoke nor drink ![]() |

onirugbon:Based on experience and talent, Mikel edges the midfielder trios, Onazi is even better than Kouyate to my own perspective. Etebo and Ndidi are underrated and they can match to man the trio of gueye and diame, John Ogu is there... Ndidi and Ogu once made it in a best 11 europa league team of a month. Koulibali is also overrated, he only got the body and good in the air, I watch him closely almost every week. He's easy to smoke. as a player and natural winger, I'll smoke him very easily. I doubt he's better than Omeruo or Ekoong. Yes Mane and seydou are good players but seydou is not a better player compared to Nacho we used to knw. Is Mane better than Moses? U knw we have Simon, Musa,.. |

Icon4s:I don't think there is need for us to be arguing unnecessarily. I want us to drive our points from Algeria match.The match in question was world cup qualifying match against top rated Africa side,prior to d match three goalkeepers were invited namely Ikeme,Ezenwa and young Alampasu but Ikeme got injured and Akpeyi was called as a replacement and manned d post. The question is this,why Akpeyi who was not on original list was picked ahead of Alampasu and Ezenwa.A lots of things were put into considerations that only Rohr can explain.I remember his explanation on why he needed to drop home based players for Algeria match,it is simple he said league was on break.This decision gave room for Alampssu ahead of Emma Daniel but based on experience Ezenwa was picked. Alampasu might be d best in camp due to reports from camp which nobody can authorized coz i remember d camping of Sydney 2000 dream team in Ilorin in 1999.I was privileged to watch their training live.It was straight fight between d two keeper Greg Etafia and Dele Aiyenugba on who to be picked.The reports journalists were bringing out to d loving sporting Nigerians was different from what we are seen live. Aiyenugba was jumping,punching,diving like a cat with spectators applauding but Etafia was well composed by reading his line very well,organized his defence and u see that maturity in him.At d end Etafia was picked by coach shaibu Amodu and d sport writers were saying Dele was d best.The same scenario played out between Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Idemudia,we thought Idemudia was d best but Aiyegbeni was picked coz in front of goals he was deadlier but Idemudia bunch of skills and delight to watch. It was this period that i realized the difference between pundits and coaches.A lot happened in d camp that w don't know and one need to hear from d coach b4 one can question his decisions. It was very glaring prior to Algeria match that Alampasu w not manned d post irrespective of his performance in d camp and it's simple,match of such magnitude wasn't for rookie especially a sensitive area(goalkeeping) |
