He creates chances more Dan any striker we have but converts none …he’s a player dt can confuse any coach, wether to invite him or not

Create which chance, as in he can lay pass to himself or can dribble the whole defense line except the keeper. Sadiq is a low budget Peter crouch.

Truidstar:
There is something Jpes has seen that sadiq brings that we have not seen. Cut him some slack and see how it pans out.

Bro, Jpes has not seen anything, nothing. Sadiq add nothing to the team that other players can't do far better

BascoVanVeli:
Isaac Success is bullying AC Milan

Chai! Should have just scored. Great save

Boniface kind of player is what I thought Success would be.

Disappoint us some times

I still get a very old kickoff magazine for house self, Na my late Elder Brother bought it, he introduced me into reading dailies,

his best was Guardian paper then thisdayport,

before finally settling for complete sport

wow! I was introduced to reading papers generally by my dad. The man love newspaper like mad maybe due to his military background. He's always buying either complete sports or today sports.
Later the vendor started giving us for hire N10, we read and at the end of the day he come pick it up. I do read kickoff magazine and sportylife (this one to buy am dy expensive). I later register on kickoff site with my Nokia c10.

Enyeama played for Ibom Stars which was formerly known as Mobil Pegasus of Eket, but now Akwa United.

He moved to Enyimba from Ibom Star then a division two club in Nigeria league,in fact he met Dele Aiyenigba as first choice in Enyimba.

He did not played for Calabar Rover.

Enyeama eagles sojourned was a story of destiny child.He joined Enyimba 2001/2002 season after Enyimba friendly match with Inter Milan which Enyimba lost 7-0 with Aiyenigba Dele in goal.It was a match organized by Ronaldo to mark his return after long absence due to injury and money raised was donated to United Nations Relief Fund for Africa,Asia and South America less privileged.

Enyeama was discovered playing for Ibom star by eagles goalkeeper trainer Amusa Adisa but didn’t get invitation until the goalkeeping crew realized Ejide was not ready after Scotland friendly.Just two months in Enyimba he was invited and had a good game against Kenya in a friendly.

The big question,a keeper that kept in WC against England was a division two player a season ago in NPFL but just some months in NPFL division one,now the best Nigeria keeper in Nigeria football history.

Time to give Amas Obasogie of Bendel Insurance,Christian Nwoke of Sporting Lagos,Kayode Bankole of Remo Star and Stanley Nwabili of Chipa in South Africa league the chance to compete in eagles cuz we can be having bench warmers as Super eagles keeper.

I think the first post talked about Enyeama being called to the SE while at akwa united which is not true, we all know Enyeama moving to enyimba prompted his call to the eagles. Enyeama was a darling of the aba fans even after moving to rivals iwuanyanwu nationale. Our coaches should look inward to solve this goalkeeping issue.

Mujtahida:
From now till forever, Sadiq is not an option but they keep inviting him. He should be dropped. Even on this thread once he scores one or two goals for his club, some will start blowing his trumpet.

I've never been a fan of Sadiq, even at the Olympics games he played where so many were hyping him. He's not just my kind of striker, I'll rather pick onuachu to Sadiq if at all I want to go for a tall stricker without bearing.

Kog45:
Maduka Okoye came into eagles unmerited and used super eagles to rise,yes he was criticized by fans for poor performance against Tunisia which happens in football.

One thing he should know Nigeria will never beg him,so declined the invite is not the best way to express his grievances.He should come in and prove us wrong.

Dele Aiyenigba never got second chance after Guinea match.Daniel Akpeyi was heavily criticized and sometimes criticized unjustifiably e.g Mahrez free kick that can beat any keeper.Even Francis Uzoho is still under attacks from fans for poor performance against Ghana.

A lesson here,Nigeria should look in ward and give us a keeper like Enyeama cuz when Enyeama was discovered he was not among the sensational keepers in the league,the tops ones are Uche Akubieke,Austin Ejide,Chijioke the Arugo Monkey.but he came in and proved himself.

Chijioke aka arugo monkey was one keeper I love watching, wonder why he was never called up to the SE. Another was Sunday Rotimi.

Icon4s:
So there are people who are still on this age thing after we saw these boys as kids who passed the MRI at U17 and saw how they transformed physically.

Even look at JJ Okocha and Kanu, sebi people were saying they were over 40 years old when they were still playing for the Eagles about 20 years ago. Do they look like men in their 60s today?

Most of this people are dishonest in their daily life, so they tend to generalize, believing everyone is like them. Some do this because of envy abi jealousy, dy don't believe someone at that age can act so mature maybe because dy still dy eat mama thank you at that age.

Himself was just similar to ikedia ,looking ground when with d ball,though ikedia is worst in dt aspect

Nsofor can be annoying sometimes, but can shoot very well, good with leg overs, with Ikpeba type leg

Eden Hazard announces his retirement from professional football at the age of 32.if na motherland some nay sayers will say age has caught up with him.

komekn:
I don't use derogatory language, l would say not very good, not **** ☹️.

The discussion emanated from the delusional agenda that surrounds Nwakali. That he is somehow the best midfielder or one of the best in the Portuguese league. And certainly according to his badly tuned praise singers, the best in Chavez FC.

That delusional discourse made someone to compare Luton Town to Chávez with the suggestion that Chavez is better.

With regards to Nice beating Arsenal ( it happens) not too long ago Nottingham Forest in the Championship beat Arsenal. A few days ago Newcastle United beat PSG ,the same Newcastle was beaten by league one Sheffield Wednesday in the FA cup some months ago.

Would you say PSG and Arsenal And Newcastle are now poor quality 🤔❓❓❓

So you agree Chaves can beat luton. BTW luton ia a very poor team and will lose to many championship teams

komekn:
The EPL is the best league in Europe fact.

Portuguese league is rated number 7 in Europe but somehow in your appraisal Chavez is better than Luton and Burnley.

Do you think that's reasonable 🤔

Being the best doesn't erase the fact that some teams are crap like luton. EPL being the best league doesn't stop arsenal from losing to nice of France.

komekn:
Chaves will not beat a single Championship team and will struggle in League one and find themselves in League two .

Chaves can lose to all teams in championship or league one, But they will surely beat luton town and Burnley in the Premiership

TheSuperNerd:
Ndidi hasn't even been on the pitch for 3mins before he bagged that assist for Vardy. Leicester are just strolling past all in the Championship. No stress. 🤣

and someone want us to believe championship is better than many top league. Even luton town in the Premiership will lose to Chaves.

no go there abeg bros

U need 1 point to qualify while your opponent needs 3 points and you hv the advantage of playing at home

First half was 1-1, common sense suppose tell you that in the 2nd half of the game that the opposition will attack your team like hell when they need 2 more points to qualify. The rightful thing to do is sit back, soak up the pressure and hit them on counter when you are blessed with pacy players like osaze, martins and odewingie

That game siasia bleeped up big time and I lost interest in him afterwards

Nigeria needed a win in that game. Guinea scored a late equaliser. Siasia did not start the qualifier. I think he took over from oliseh, after the later have put Nigeria in a difficult situation. Surprisingly for me that's one of the best games I've seen the eagles play.

Thanks in advance 😁 Make una support the Osimhen of Comedy 😎 abeg 🙏🏾

done. You need to campaign more

Meliforme:
Aribo is piss poor as a midfielder.
It is not even arguable.

Anybody that truly loves and appreciates Aribo's skills, we advice him to evolve his game in the role of a forward.

i see Aribo as a Havertz kind of player. Very difficult to find the best role suited for those kind of player.

charlesemeka85:
😳

Not surprised though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

e shock you ☺️

charlesemeka85:
the major reason big clubs weren’t really on him during the transfer window is his lost of form and injury record in the past 2 seasons

Without that a top club would hv snatched him from leicester for cheap because he just hv a year in his existing contract

With latest report flying around I won’t be surprised if Bayern signs him in January transfer window which I believe Leicester will accept instead of allowing him to leave for free next summer

what I'm saying is that bayern will not be interested in a poor dm as many here wants us to believe. Many here don't rate the championship, myself inclusive but for the fact that this guy has performed season after season in the Premiership we shouldn't be equating him with the situation of nwakali or other division 2 players that have never proven themselves in division one.

TheGoodJoe:

"More effective." I never said Zidane's play was not effective.

i never said you say Zidane play wasn't effective. Explain to me considering the definition of effective how dbryne play is more effective to Zidane.

TheGoodJoe:
Try an learn to comprehend points. De Bruyne's style of play is more effective than Zizou's style.

Finito.

Sorry sir when you say more effective I want to understand. Cos Zizou style of play won him world cup, euro cup, champions league, league titles and World best. So how do you define effective.


NB. effective
/ɪˈfɛktɪv/
See definitions in:
All
adjective
1.
successful in producing a desired or intended result

forgiveness:
It was wrong decision. Ejike was favored because Berti preferred a tall goalkeeper. This was no secret.

they was nothing wrong in his decision. Ejide never cost us any game. They was even a debate that he has a better position to Enyeama. Ejide was never a bad goalkeeper. ManU prefer Onana to degea. To me degea is a better keeper but the coach prefer Onana.

daveP:
I was vexed that year too but now i know better. I don't mind any consequent coach repeating this, but with sense. No GK should feel tooo comfy on national duty. That way,. Competition and improvement of the good goalies will cause step up and that will boost levels al round too.

exactly, I remember once Enyeama saying ejide made him a better goalkeeper. The fear of ejide taking the no1 spot

Kog45:
Ejide unimpressive showing in friendlies toward 2002 WC gave Enyeama invitation and he stole number two position with a friendly against Kenya….yes Berti Vogts preferred him but we all knew it was wrong decision and we saw Enyeama reclaimed his shirt and did well in 2010 and 2014 WC.

Sir I won't call it a wrong decision it was Berti vogts preference, he loves his goalkeepers tall. And I can't remember any game ejide was poor safe for one game he caught the ball and drop it inside the post which the ref disallow. I'll likened enyeama-ejide situation to Buffon and Toldo of Italy, two good keepers but one was better.

I know Haaland and Messi are favourites worldwide but this opportunity to vote means I will vote Osimhen. I will be sentimental. Lol

[/quote just voted
1. Osimhen

Kog45:
Enyeama came in when Ejide failed to impress.In fact they shared the same keeper trainer in person of Amusa Adisa my university coach….Ezenwa was getting invitations as second choice keeper in NPFL,so you can’t compare.

I quite agreed with you on Alloy cuz he failed to search for talented ones and this paved way for regional league keepers in Europe.

i don't think Ejide ever failed to impress. Ejide was a very good keeper just that enyeama was better. I remember the game between enyimba and etol de sahel. Later in his career one of Nigeria coaches even prefer him to enyeama.
