Rohr Still In Search Of Quality World Cup Goalkeeper, To Assess Ezenwa With CHAN



Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has admitted he is still on the look out for a quality goalkeeper for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Enyimba goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa was in goal in three of the team’s last four games but Rohr seems not fully satisfied with his performance.

First choice Carl Ikeme is treating leukaemia, Daniel Akpeyi has been erratic, while youngster Francis Uzoho is untested.

Rohr is however looking to assess former junior international Ezenwa further at the African Nations Championship in Morocco where he will be in goal for the home-based Super Eagles.

Chippa United’s Akpeyi failed to impress in Super Eagles last game against Argentina despite an impressive club form, while new invitee Uzoho is inexperienced at international level.


Rohr is also trying to lure former first choice goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama out of international retirement as the man who replaced him Ikeme may not be fit enough to be part of the team to the World Cup.



“The last challenge is to find a goalkeeper who satisfies us fully. We are working with my goalkeeping coach, Enrico Pionetti,” Rohr was quoted by French website Football365.fr.


“The African Nations Championship will be important to take stock. Ikechukwu Ezenwa will participate, under the direction of my assistant Salisu Yusuf. I will follow things closely.”

The Super Eagles will face Croatia in their first group game in Russia on June 16 at the Kaliningrad Stadium.

Bring back dodo mayana

he can only train not

play again

Whether anybody likes it or not


Ezenwa must face messi, aguero, huiguian, dybala

ok

Let them use that second half goal keeper against Argentina na....


Or call eyeama...
Akpeyi has been unimpressive....
Oyinbo keeper has leukaemia
Eyeama has been missing in action
And Ezenwa is.... Hehehehe(though I like the guy)

Ezenwa no be am at all . Make we go beg Enyeama

I've never seen a Nigerian goalkeeper as confident as Enyeama. But he's not been in action for some time and i don't think he's interested.

Heard Enyeama is back. Better call him !
With Enzenwa, we won't pass the group stage.

That's why enyema returned to training

This dude is really working

Francis Ezoho for me, or 2nd choice only behind Enyeama

I dey here na. I sabi play PS well well.

Beg Enyeama to come back.

Even messi respect him.

I trust Enyema and Francis Uzoho

Ezenwa na calamity waiting to happen..

Assess ke?

Abeg no assess anything. Go France go bring that guy come abeg.
.

Lets go with Ikpeba

NFF should release fund to him so that he can sign De Gea from Spain.

Chief Gernot Rohr now viewing this thread on nairaland..

if he likes let him look for a goal keeper that can even save the world
still we will not make it out of that group
Argentina and Croatia are the boss of that group
Croatia got strong midfielders. the likes of rakitic and modric are too strong

If Enyeama is still in form and ready to come out of retirement, then he should be back. The goal keeping area seems to be the eagles weakest link

Enyeama was a "19 years old" inexperienced goal keeper before he was thrown into the fray at the Korea/Japan 2002 world cup and see how far he's come today.

Same thing with Carlos Kanemi of Cameroun.

My view is this: If Enyeama is fit, playing regularly and shows the desire to come back to the Super Eagles, he should be welcomed with both hands. Otherwise, throw in Francis Uzoho! Let him start playing all the friendlies and help grow his confidence!

Nothing to fear at all!

If you want Enyeama, click Like..
Share, if you don't want.


To me, if we have Enyeama, we are complete.
