No matter how rude his words are don't rope in another member of his family into your discuss. If you both want to do royal rumble on each other please do.
It doesn't tell well on two supposed adults who rope in family into unpleasant comments. It doesn't show the maturity in you both.

And by the way, to answer your question, the reason why the likes of Maduka and Uzoho are getting a look in is because both Akpeyi and Ezenwa has disappointed badly. Rohr is now desperate for a decent goalkeeper ... anybody at all. And, as you know, desperate men do desperate things grin Remember, when Carl Ikeme was healthy, you didn't see Rohr picking goalkeepers from the garbage bins of the Euro leagues.

And I apologize again for jumping to the wrong conclusions about you. I like to read your posts as well. You're one of the major assets we have in this house. Cheers!


O pari

Kog45:
O pari o master,pls you need to read the genesis of our discussion before you can understand what led to Emma Daniel,Alampasu and Maduka stuff.

Pls i do not understand what you mean by you can bet it probably have not watched Emma or Alampasu in my life,pls try to be courtesy in some of your words cos i respect you a lot and i believe you should understand basics things about football analysis and not always being carried away with emotions.

I was with U 17 live at UAE and have good relationships with most of these players till today,saying have never watched Alampasu is an insult and mind you even after U 17 have watched him in number of occasions but if i may ask you is Alampasu not a member of Rohr team.I remember he was always in camp and kept against Corsica in a friendly.

On Emma Daniel,what brought his name into discussion was all about our future and i need to refer to him,Uzoho, Alampasu and Maduka,that the future is bright or are your saying a young keeper that benched Akpeyi at Rio 2016 is no longer a future of Nigeria team.

On Maduka my case is clear cos i know what is football and i will not be deceived by what people posted on him and thank God tbaba1234 came out and said the guy had 2 clean sheets in 15 games in regional league and this statement was the bedrock of our discussion.

Look before i make any comments here i have my facts not just hearsay and sometimes did my research,so saying some folks are talking thrash here is out of it cos that's what your comment implied which is uncalled for and am highly disappointed such notion can come out from you,oh my God i hold you in a very high esteem.

I started watching this game since 1980 and is a fact not just talks and i can tell you a lot about Nigeria football till today without going into archive.I follow the game passionately especially anything relating to Nigeria football and sports in general.

On Maduka i still repeat it how on earth a keeper keeping in junior regional league equivalent of division 4 in Europe is good for super eagles if not sentiment.

I made a post on super eagles goalkeeper crisis and those who really understand the game agreed that things must be done cos most of our keepers are not doing well in their various clubs except shaking Akpeyi which is not convincing.

Uzoho is now a fourth keeper in his club but keeping in division three which is not good enough.If not for keepers crisis,super eagles is not a place for division three player.

Alampasu a third keeper in his club meaning is match rusty and not good enough for Eagles criteria if not for Eagles keepers crisis.

Maduka a keeper in fourth division not a good criteria for Eagles,on what ground for God sake.

I'm not saying these guys are not good cos Uzoho already showed us that they can come good but for the coming WC can we trust them between the sticks especially seeing them keeping in lower leagues.

One thing is glaring the future is bright with Grancis Uzoho,Alampasu, Daniel and Maduka but coming to upcoming WC Rohr need wisdom in his selection and as thegoodjoe always saying no sentiment the best should be picked.

Thanks Capt. This is even more serious than the issue of head collusion which is also part of it. So the thesis is that constant nodding of the ball with the head by footballers during the course of their professional career causes CTE. Hmmmmm something dey here oooo.
The balls were a lot harder before. Today's balls are softer and do not have as much force. I remember watch a documentary about this, a long time ago.

Dutch club Fortuna Sittard suspends former Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/F783/production/_94936336_gettyimages-630798652.jpg

Netherlands' second tier side Fortuna Sittard have suspended former Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh for what it calls "unacceptable actions".

The club statement said that he has been put on "non-active" duties, stopping short of saying he has been sacked.

"Several attempts by the club to encourage a change in the coach's behaviour have unfortunately not worked, resulting in an unworkable situation," the statement said.

"The board of Fortuna Sittard emphasizes that the decision to suspend Sunday Oliseh is not motivated by the current sporting performance."

"The coach's unacceptable actions have made cooperation between many people within the organization impossible - from players to employees.

"Fortuna Sittard regrets the decision, but states that the club interest goes above all else."

Oliseh was appointed as Sittard coach in late December 2016.

Sittard finished 17th in the 20-team league at the end of last season but are currently third in the table and are five points behind leader NEC.

With eight wins and just one loss earlier this season the club actually won what is called the "second period" of the league, which is made up of four periods.

The club play in the Eerste Divisie, which is the professional league below the Eredivisie, Holland's topflight, and it consists of 20 clubs.

The Eerste Divisie champions gain automatic promotion to the Eredivisie, while eight clubs made up of the period champions and the other best-ranked teams, will compete in play-offs for two further promotion places.

Of course Oliseh has his own story which could be true.. even after the SE issue, he still had some good reasons to resign. That doesn't change he has challenges in managing relationships. Well I don't know him personally. just my thinking.

EmmGee:
no doubt he is good. But the hype is just 2much.
he even gave an assist yesterday and drew a freekick that was eventually converted.
But overall he didn't seem like the alli i was hearing about. The english media portray him as one very big world class player while he is no where near that.

World class players rise to the ocassion like kane did yestetday. But alli constantly looked like he had no idea what he was doing.

Imagine the english media thinking he can play for madrid/barca. Lol
My man is not about hype,Dele Ali is damn good.I was in your shoe before thinking the guy was over hype but later realized that the guy worth it.

I know what you expect is Dele Ali that do the flicks, dribble two three players on a row,show classical movement, No Ali that i later know is a simple footballer who understand the game very well,he was well schooled about the game.He knows when to dribble,when to pass and when to run into space,so he delivered most of the time.

It takes third eyes or those who really understand the rudiments of modern day football to appreciate Ali but sometimes his performance is confusing,like yesterday match he did what coach expected him to do.

I think Real Madrid fans will never forget him,he made football so simple and does his things with ease.

komekn:
Ate you saying there is zero justification to say that he is not an good as was previously thoughthuh

Players either improve upwards or they begin to diminish in thier performances. This is why they seek less competitive leagues where thier deficiencies will not be so pronounced.

My view is that this actually quite young footballer only 25, Has been found to be not good enough for the EPL.

Therefore is he among the best we have or can find huh
That's the problem! Why do you judge he isn't good enough for the league? In other words the others like di Maria, depay, cuadrado who are proving themselves in other top leagues are not good enough for the Top level football?. The problem is when you say some detrimental things about our players you forget the players you clamour for are either out of our reach or not up to standard to what we have in the SE. Bros football doesn't end in England, personally Germany , Italy, Spain have a better football education than this English league your shouting. The only thing making the EPL relevant is the star players, top class managers, media coverage and the intensity. asides that what is the noise?
Musa wasent given games, I'm suprised you come out and say he dosent measure up, in little to no game time he scored a few. Then when a player leaves a club it doesn't mean that's the end of the world, he would carry the knowledge he got in England and become a better player in Russia. Except you want to come up with your numerous ridiculous theories where you say "the championship is better than the Russian league, Dutch league etc". No knowledge is wasted, your not even happy he's playing your complaining he couldn't make it in a league where he wasent given a chance.
Oga you are why a lot Europeans have no respect for us. You never have an idea of ur own, you feel they(Europeans) they are better than us in everything. psychological you are been brainwashed and you see no wrong in it. then you try justify yourself when ever you are called out for bringing down your OWN! In other words you a bad ass "ass licker".
I know Nigerian is mediocre, but remember where you are from! pulling us down would not change anything.
You say some reasonable things but because of the predisposition I have on you, I don't even read what you say no matter how informative.
I though the essence of learning in another country is to come impact your country positively.

Since he started this job, there have been reports that he has been very difficult to deal with and very abrasive towards players and staff.

He has achieved on the field success but relationship management appears to be a serious issue.

During his stay as Nigerian coach, Enyeama and Emenike called it quits.

Sunday Olishe i knew had egoism issue,very arrogant,hghly temperamental and can go haywire anytime.

Sunday Olishe disciplinary record not too good,i remember he was suspended by his Club Bochum in Bundesliga for headbutt his teammate.

He had serious issue with Samson Siasia during training prior to Italy match and Siasia was axed from starting lineup but this led to a divide house cos some players were not happy with Westerhoff's decision for axing Siasia and left Olishe free.

This really affected the team spirits and contributed to our ouster in 2nd round cos Westerhoff refused to bring Siasia in after Amokachie got injured due to that incident.

He had issue with one of his teammate,may be Victor Okechukwu Agali during 2002 afcon,they needed to be separated by teammates.

Also had issue with honourable sports minister by walking the man out during afcon 2002,this singular act led to the disbandment of the team and was the genesis of our poor outing at 2002 WC.

He also had issue with former Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama forcing him to retire from the team and Emma Emenike too resigned from the team with speculations that he had issue with Olishe.

Oliseh in Holland is known for abusing players, staff and other workers at the club.

The atmosphere in the team was bad, that was why Emenike left. Professional players do not get 'scared' like that.

Croatia Coach: We Must Beat Super Eagles, Argentina Our Easiest Game

By Adeboye Amosu: Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic says his team’s first group game against Nigeria will determine how far they will go at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.

With games against one of the tournament favourites Argentina and Iceland to come after the encounter against the Super Eagles, Dalic reckoned it is important to pick maximum points against the three-time African champions.

“The first goal must be to qualify from the group. The first match against Nigeria will decide that, it is the key to everything for us in Russia,” Dalic stated during a lecture at the Split Hotel Duilovo in Zagreb on Tuesday.

“Then against Argentina we can not look for much. It will be easiest game for us because we have nothing to lose.

“The last game is against Iceland where everything will be decided.”

Dalic further stated that his team will be ready to take on the rest of the world in Russia.

“There is four months before the World Cup, there is still time, everything will be ready. We are monitoring all the players,” he added.

“What’s most important is that all players are healthy and ready. If that is the case then we have no reason to worry.”

Well so but that seems to be the position put forward by the report. There's something called the compound effect. Little by little. Research is still ongoing and new findings might have overtaken the position earlier put forward in the documentary you watched.

"Fortuna Sittard immediately puts his coach Sunday Oliseh on non-active. The club management makes this decision as a result of the repeatedly culpable actions for a longer period by the trainer towards several persons in the organization. Several attempts by the club to move the trainer to other behavior remained unfortunately without result, resulting in an unworkable situation as a result.

Last year, i posted an article here that talked about Oliseh's bad behavior to players and other workers. He is obviously a good coach. He needs to work on man management. You can not be abusing grown men and making the whole environment toxic.

If Oliseh can make a few adjustments to man-management, he will be a great coach.
