Goalkeeping Position Resolved

[gochino]

Yup. had to han up on Vince midway through the 2nd half. We gotta help him get better.

Eh didn't you open a call enyama back thread at halftime? What's wrong Nigerians sef? This is why our players always lose confidence playing fo Nigeria. Na wa!

[wale1974]

Chai we have so many oloshos here foreal

[Bell]

Uzoho, Ndidi, Moses, and Mikel are the players we NEED fit and ready for the WC.

IN ADDITION TO THOSE OBVIOUS FOUR, I'D SAY...


...you need seven more "fit and ready" players. Those four would have problems winning matches on their own.

Classy...and he played again today.

He played? For who?:shock: oya, i will call him back.

I’m sorry but I’m not sold on this guy. He was making too many errors in the first half and the only reason he looked decent in the second half was because Poland was well contained. If there are options we should try them out first before bestowing the title of #1 upon him.

We are like a 'brakeless' truck heading towards a cliff, knowing in our hearts of heart that only a MIRACLE can save the disaster that awaits the truck.
Uzoho is the best we truly have.......and that tells any thinking person the depth of our goalkeeping problem.

KPOM. You captured it perfectly.

I am against recalling players who have effectively retired from international duties however in this particular situation I won't mind changing my tune on Enyeama. The WC is not a place to be experimenting. Uzoho is not ready for this level of competition and should not be put in a situation where his career can be impacted negatively. Let Enyeama return for this one last hurrah. He is experienced enough to know how to handle the WC duties and at the same time be a mentor to Uzoho.

Yes, Enyeama's father owns Nigeria, so our world cup appearance is all about him. Cellular said a couple of days ago that Enyeama should be allowed "to retire at the end of the world cup like players usually do." Now, you are saying "Let Enyeama return for his one last hurrah!"

I no really blame two of una. This is why Nigeria is a country in decay. Enyeama retired form the National team and left us in tatters! We struggled and got ourselves back up and pushed to qualify for the world cup. Now, we should allow the person who abandoned us in our time of need to come back and do his "one last hurrah." So, if we didnt qualify for the world up, where will Enyeama do his "one last hurrah?" IAG, please dont let me tear your shirt this night!

It's a reserve team game.

Lille B. A semi-pro game most likely.

Yeye, mace04 is being sarcastic based on some proven false information peddled on this forum.

[Tbite]

Lille are.morons.

Enyeama never dropped off. Bamenda boy was here peddling nonsense about the guy having bad stats, but he simply went from world record level stats to Regular top flight standard.

Enyeama objectively is good enough to play for both the SE and Lille today.

Lille may have messed up his match fitness though.

Uzoho is only 19 and still raw. I already prefer him to Ezenwa. He needs to be more decisive on crosses and decide early if he's going to come out. His delivery also needs to improve.

Oya bewu kaja . Stop taking my comment out of context. I did not say we should recall Enyeama for the sake of it rather to serve a purpose. No one right now is good enough to command the #1 position. The last thing we need is to take a rookie to the WC and end up shooting ourselves in the foot because our opponents are able to exploit his inexperience. Enyeama on the other hand is a proven commodity. If he is tried out in one of these friendlies and shows his sharpness is still there then let Uzoho understudy him. Uzoho doesn't need to be the #1 at this point as he still has a long career ahead of him.

[wiseone]

I have seen park GKs that are better than Akpeyi.

He is still way better than Akpeyi.

[metalalloy]

Did we not resolve this position after the Sudan game at CHAN also? Make we wait small.

KPOM.

He's playing his second game in 5 months for Lille B in the French 5th division. Maybe he's trying to get back into the super eagles... but if the argument against Uzoho is that he plays at a low level, then Enyeama isn't the answer.

He got caught out in no mans land time and time again, some of his attempts were comical to say the least. I also didnt see the kind of command and confidence he showed in his debut against Argentina. That being said, he definitely has some great instincts, and gets down really fast which is great for someone his size. I don't know what kind of training can be done to help with the crossing, but if he is our starting keeper come world cup, you can trust and believe we will see a TON of crosses into our boxes.

Kpom................................and not normal crosses but swinging ones with vicious force that any contact sends the ball into the net.
Another big problem is his punching the balls 'striaght-on' giving our opponents a 2nd chance to take a shot at our goal.
there is a reason why the world best keepers flick the ball over the bar or punch it 'sideways'.
But he is still 19yrs and will come good in future...............
