Really? what is the diffrence between that one and the other two? The dude is just not it!EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:The Akpeyi that played vs Egypt is actually not a bad keeper, the one vs Arg and South Africa is the one we don't want.
Thanks Coach Bret-Fart.bret- hart wrote:Nigerians are the masters of their own downfall. Imagine hoping for a useless keeper like Akpeyi to make the WC squad?? This is beyond shameful. WC spots should be based on merit and the fact is that Akpeyi does not deserve to be at the World Cup. The guy alongside Ecjijile is garbage. Its bad enough that we have an erratic GK like Ezenwa. smfh

You are letting your emotions humiliate you. I'll suggest you re-read the post. All I can see is people remarking that the guy is working hard and wishing him good luck! What is shameful is you and a couple of people collecting bribes from Enyeama to push his name forward after he abandoned us, arrogantly. A damn shame, if you ask me!Is Truetalk an agent like me?danfo driver wrote:truetalk wrote:He does not invite himself, so to that extent, he cannot be blamed.
When we played SA, I said that even without Ikeme and Enyeama, there were more than 3 other Nigerian GKs better than the ones in camp and listed them and why that was the case.
Now we are scrambling to get passports for 18 year old keepers from Germany, and this dude still has the mouth to talk.
Again, he does not invite himself. We just wasted valuable callups and camptime on Akpeyi and Alampasu.
Oloye, you're trying to be loyal to your in-laws (SMH). Meanwhile, Lobi tried to pull off a draw against MFM in Lagos.

Nigeria goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi says he would not allow critics scupper his dream of making the cut for the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia.
The Chippa United goalkeeper has been heavily criticised in the wake of unconvincing performances for the Super Eagles, but he said he remains undaunted and has continued to work hard at the club to help his World Cup dream.
He however concedes that there’s a likelihood he isn’t selected for the Mundial, saying he would support the decision of head coach Gernot Rohr, Vanguard writes.
“I am not competing with any goalkeeper in the team. I am grateful to the coach for extending invitation to me and also giving me an opportunity to play,” the former Flying Eagles goalkeeper said.
“Nigeria have good goalkeepers waiting for this opportunity, if anyone deserves it let him play and let’s support him so that we can have a formidable team for the World Cup and come back with good results.”
The former Warri Wolves keeper frowned at what he termed attacks on him in the media, but promises to fight on.
“You don’t have to talk me down with stories or lie against me on the pages of newspapers because you need to promote someone,” he further said.
“I didn’t come this far in my career by mistake even though I wasn’t given a chance to get here; but I was positive about myself and I worked hard for it and with God’s grace I reached the level I am today.
“I haven’t reached my mark yet, yes, I made some mistakes; some of the world’s best goalkeepers have made worst slips, but they didn’t quit because they were criticized and condemned, they fought through it to become the best they are today. So, I’m not exceptional, I will keep fighting.”

Unku, I jos did a search of your name and cross referenced Akpeyi.1naija wrote:Cellular wrote:Akpeyi is a poor national team goalie.
Everything I observed about him (and commented) in the game he kept he repeated again in a subsequent game.
It is not hating or marketing another player over him. It is a simple observation.
He is not a goalkeeper. I will take a backman and put him in goal over Akpeyi. That's how bad he is.
Okay o, agent and goalkeeper coach cellulite.
He actually kept us in the game against Argentina despite the mistake, which is my opinion was no worse than the one Uzoho made against real Madrid feeder team a month or so ago.
Like Akeyi said every goalkeeper makes mistakes. The key is to keep working through it.

Brother, what I’m saying is that attaching this feel good aphorism to Akpeyi is just motivational talk. His talent is set. We’re not going to see dramatic improvements between now and the WC. Is he good enough to start? My answer is unequivocally No. It’s not about naysayers wishing him bad or him never quitting. Most of us want Nigeria to do well above all else...so why should we wish ill on a player we think can help us?Odas wrote:Yes, I was watching some of the competitions in the Winter Olympic; if that is what you are referring to, but because one wasn't successful at a time doesn't mean he/she won't be successful next time.deanotito wrote:There are a lot of folks who don't give up.

The same thing applies to Akpeyi. As long as he is training and incorporating his flaws into the training programme, he might come out being very good. Thus, the struggle continues. Good-luck to him.
You are talking to the same guy that said he will be laughing when Enyeama collects basket full of goals at the world cup. This is the type of cut your nose to spite your face mentality they have, and they project it on others since they think with hate in their heart that others must think the same as well...Like you said "Most of us want Nigeria to do well", but this guy is the minority that wishes we do poorly based on who we take to the WC.deanotito wrote:Brother, what I’m saying is that attaching this feel good aphorism to Akpeyi is just motivational talk.
