You don't know Rohr. Ever since Ebuehi's injury he seems to have lose trust in him. He'd even play Awaziem or Shehu in his place of we're playing a serious match.

Ebuehi is already a starter, the thing with Rohr is if you lose your spot you will find it hard to take it back and with Ebuehi's consistency in club performances he has already nailed the right back spot

Friend, abeg some of us wey dey here go school small. The measure of performance is relative and not quite straightforward, as in performance for performance. And it's not fair to compare a player's performance against one team(bad in quality) and another player's performance against a worse team. That's not a solid support for your argument of who's better. Say something else abeg. Find another reason for a choice of one over the other And don't worry i'll take your advise under advisement. .

Ok aspire to Maguire

safarigirl:
So, we had Okoye man the post against Benin, and Uzoho man the post against Lesotho, with both goalies keeping clean sheets.

First of all, I am glad we have risen from the ashes of Akpeyi and Ezenwa, but I would genuinely like to know what you guys think of both players and the possibility of rotation between them.

Bear in mind, when I say 'rotation', I don't mean the way Enyeama and Ejide were rotated, but something with a little more equity. I genuinely feel like Ejide was shortchanged a lot in the team, because of Enyeama's brilliance, so, while I acknowledge how much of a legend Vincent is, I do feel a bit for Ejide.

So guys, what's your take on the Maduka-Uzoho GK rotation? If you can include their performances in the last two games in your analysis, factor their strengths and weaknesses, it would also be appreciated.

PS: If anyone thinks this should be a standalone topic outside of this thread, also signify.

Thanks

I think what Uzoho trumps Maduka in are not actually goalkeeping skills but personal skills that come with age like leadership, being vocal, command and confidence

Uzoho would a better choice for the moment but in 1 or 2 years Maduka will overtake him

@Subzero47, Are you sure you are not living under sub-zero conditions? Calm down. . Don't say things like this. It doesn't speak well of your knowledge of the game.

Guy are you trying to make a point or not?

elunico:
Same Ebuehi we've seen against England, Serbia, Poland, Czech Republic, Iceland, Congo, Algeria. We've seen it all.

Ebuehi plays against these guys but Aina struggles against Cameroun and Benin and this is even an argument

benji93:
Calm down. How about you actually listen when someone makes a good point. The Benin side is definitely better than the Lesotho team in quality, but their quality is still quite low too. Perhaps Ebuehi looks better because he's playing a much weaker side. Just maybe. Give it a thought. Don't be too Nigerian for your own sake.

Ebuehi played better than Aina look at their individual performances, look at their passes and runs going forward, Benin and Lesotho are actually bad opposition but take your time and watch their individual performances

andrewbaba44:
A team that you could only score at the dying minutes of the game was worst than a team you almost beat 4-0

Change your weed dealer

Was our defense troubled against Benin or not? You don't even know the point of the argument

andrewbaba44:
You don’t need to have time for someone who speaks the fact to your face

What facts do you have, would you know facts if it hit you in the face

andrewbaba44:
Lesotho was better than Benin

Same Benin we struggled to beat

Be deceiving your self

Our defenders where mostly on holiday today and na only ekong do like Mumu small

Lesotho played better than Benin that packed the bus for 90 minutes, they dominated our midfield in the first half, Benin had one shot on target the whole match, if our defenders went on holiday against Lesotho then they weren't even invited against Benin

Wack analyst

Samueltemi337:
We all know that


But rohr doesn't

Aina had a goal and assist coming into this game so it was normal for him to start, but Rohr has eyes and I'm sure he saw this performance from Ebuehi

andrewbaba44:
I watched the 90 minutes replay of the Benin game and I didn’t see aina causing an error

Benin is a far better team than Lesotho

Argue with your keyboard I don't have your time

12large1:
Lol on the basis of these 2 games, I agree. But it was Lesotho.

Lesotho was better than Benin, but it wasn't even about the opposition the way Ebuehi held possession and offered himself as a passing channel, not to talk about his attack and defence

andrewbaba44:
Ebuehi has an okay game just as aina did against Benin nothing special but I trust you guys to make a case out of nothing

You fit tell people wey no watch ball something else

You didn't even watch the Benin game so I wont argue with you

I will say it again

Ebuehi is FAR better than Aina

Meliforme:
Anayo, showcasing his inexperience.

Or his passion

Musa the 'non playing invitee' comes on

The way Ebuehi glides on the ball

What Uzoho is doing now is very important, organizing the defence that's where he trumps Okoye

Nice ball over the top from Ebuehi

TheGoodJoe:
He still needs to provide passing support.

Did you see the weird pass Iwobi made in the first half, it confused even the Lesotho defenders

JohnBullMySon:
. Too much defence

Aribo is a better defender than Etebo, believe it or not

TheGoodJoe:

I am not impressed with the forward movements of the full backs when we are in attacking positions. Especially Sanusi.

There were times Iwobi was on the flank and he did not have support from the left. Same with Chukwueze.

Probably the tactics to maintain a back four during attack but I feel Ndidi and Etebo should maintain cover positions instead of fullbacks.

Sanusi has been confused by Iwobi, there were some stray passes earlier on that Iwobi made that left Sanusi bemused, I think he is trying to play it safe at the moment

People still rate Etebo in 2021, hug the ball and insha Allah

Ndidi would have been more secure in that midfield with Aribo

Uzoho commanding his 18 yard box, good to see

Sanusi is surprisingly not in this game so far

Osimhen's long legs always gives him an advantage against keepers

Osimhen scores

People thought Etebo would ever be an attacking midfielder

Ebuehi is already giving me joy

mowah:
Great one from Rohr, this will certainly settle the Aina vs Ebuehi debate. I hope Uzoho is tested so he can prove Rohr wrong and will love to see Ajayi.

I don't think anything Uzoho will do in this match will change his position sadly

Good to see Uzoho back in the first team again

If you didn't play in any of these two matches, Rohr does not rate you
