Either you meant it as a back-handed joke, or you just wanted to rile up an argument. However, facts are sacred. Enyeama definitely has played at a higher level than Ikeme and has achieved more, whether individually as a player or as a club or international player. It stands to reason that in football terms, the French Ligue 1 is higher in estimation than the English Championship.

Every position on the field is technical. Every. That's why keepers study AND train....if you can't anticipate crosses, you'll get beat. If you're short, you'll get beat....even if your reflexes are awesome.
Or why Ikeme consistently played at a higher level and achieved more than Vince ever did...
Dude, enough with the ephemeral BS, the SOLE purpose of goalkeeping is to consistently prevent goals!
Nonsense. No one questions the sole purpose of goalkeeping. But you cannot prevent all goals, and certain goals would exploit your weaknesses. Balogun is a solid defender, but he is slow. THAT IS A WEAKNESS. He can get beat for pace, and it is exploitable. Omeruoh is faster, but not as smart or gifted as Balogun. That is also a weakness.
Barthez was short, and also error-prone (read: lack of concentration). That is a weakness...one that Sir Alex eventually got tired of. Stop arguing points that no one made. Weaknesses exist. And for many Nigerian keepers, it is crosses, and the anticipation thereof.
When Oliseh forced Enyeama out, I was crazy livid. I dumped Oliseh in the dust bin and I don't think I've ever retrieved him from there. I loved Enyeama...but that does not mean he is perfect, or didn't have exploitable weaknesses. Its the same for Uzoho. I'm reasonably confident in Uzoho's reflexes, and his ability to win a 1v1 duel...In fact, I am not as concerned as some with his "nerves"....What does concern me is how he deals with crosses...which is a significant weakness at this level. We'll keep losing (gallantly) if we don't deal with these details.

By the time Uzoho mans our post for our 3 upcoming friendlies and also completes intense world cup training camp, would you still call him inexperienced?

If the plan is to get the bro the quarters and beyond, the only real option is Enyeama. He has the talent and experience but is match rusty. The Nff and Rohr will have to convince him to come back and Put him on a fast rack to fitness and readiness. The article suggests the Nff has left the door open.

In this case Uzoho is the only option. He has the talent but lacks the experience. Frankly, I can’t remember a teenager in goal past the first rd of the wc.

Re: Goalkeeping situation
For the World Cup of course that’s inexperienced. What are you guys talking about. No other serious World Cup team is taking a player who hasn’t had at least a season of first team action in a proper league, talk less of starting them. A few NT friendlies can’t suddenly make you experienced. If that’s what we have then that’s what we have but it’s disingenuous to say he would be an experienced GK.Cmoke wrote:Does anyone remember Mr Dosu?

Re: Goalkeeping situation
Old boy,
By your definition then the only goalkeeper that you will consider experienced is the one who has kept in World Cup before!
So Zambian goalie will not meet your definition of experienced goalie!
The funny thing is that by your definition, the moment he finishes his first minute of a world cup game, he becomes experienced!
You are right, what we have is what we have. None of our available goalie has kept in world cup before. Vincent is not available, or not interested or not in shape. Pick your choice.
I personally think Rohr is focused on getting Uzoho ready to start for us at the world cup. We have no other choice except Akpeyi and Ezenwa!
That, my brother is our reality.
Unless of course you wan force Vincent to come back!

Re: Goalkeeping situation
He was definitely focused on getting Uzoho ready, and were the WC to start on March 1, Uzoho would be the starting goalie. But there's still some time to see if that's the best we could do. If I were to rate the 3 we currently have, I'd give Uzoho a slight edge over Ezenwa. Akpeyi aint in the conversation. I previously said Vinny can't be ready if he hasnt played in a year, but bros, right now, I'd say he should get a shot in a friendly. England friendly.Cmoke wrote:Old boy,

Re: Goalkeeping situation
Old boy,
You are missing the point. It was an open secret that Rohr wanted Vince and Musa to change clubs and play regularly. Vince obviously did not change clubs. Musa did!
We once took vacationing Peter Rufai to the world cup. Wetin happened then?
You are assuming that Vince is motivated to return from retirement.

Re: Goalkeeping situation
we do make simple things complicated.
What does it cost to CHECK whether Enyeama got anything to offer in CAMP. Just assess whether he still got anything to contribute. If he is not fit you decamp him. If he creates 'trouble' in camp you decamp him. If he shows that he can still help the team, then you keep him.
Yes there are arguement about his fitness. The coach can check that and make a decision. If at the end of the day, rookie Uzoho still happen to be our best we stick with him. We should at least explore all options.

Re: Goalkeeping situation
I like Uzoho very much and in 4 years time, we may have a dearth of keepers as Maduka Okoye and the other Nigerian kid coming through the ranks in Arsenal maybe playing regularly then, however this World Cup has come too soon for Uzoho. If Enyeama decides he is happy to return I think only a mad person would say no at this point. The friendliest showed that nerves maybe an issue and the World Cup does not allow for a person to settle in. The two early goals in both friendlies would cost us dearly in competition and i think people are missing that point. This World Cup will have VAR and both would have counted against us. We no choice if Enyeama does not come back but to use Uzoho however there is no argument or discussion if Enyeama puts his hand and asks to go. The rest is gibberish.

If Enyeama decides he is happy to return I think only a mad person would say no at this point. The friendliest showed that nerves maybe an issue and the World Cup does not allow for a person to settle in. The two early goals in both friendlies would cost us dearly in competition and i think people are missing that point. This World Cup will have VAR and both would have counted against us. We no choice if Enyeama does not come back but to use Uzoho however there is no argument or discussion if Enyeama puts his hand and asks to go. The rest is gibberish.
You mean abundance.
You are using 'dearth' in a way opposite to its actual meaning.
I agree with everything else you've said.

What does it cost to CHECK whether Enyeama got anything to offer in CAMP. Just assess whether he still got anything to contribute. If he is not fit you decamp him. If he creates 'trouble' in camp you decamp him. If he shows that he can still help the team, then you keep him.
Yes there are arguement about his fitness. The coach can check that and make a decision. If at the end of the day, rookie Uzoho still happen to be our best we stick with him. We should at least explore all options.
Please remember you are on CE and stop making sense.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.
