Ndah injury unsettled Pirates in hammering by Sundowns, but 'that's no excuse'

Now a player is selected while injured, brings back memories........

Dammy

Should we assume that you have an agenda against Ndah and home based players whether they are good or not. Why this agenda to see them not play for their homeland even when they are good?

But does he have an injury or not? Or should we simply ignore that because you think Dammy has an agenda against HB players?

Seems that Ndah has not played 90mins of football in one month....

If true, this should def raise eyebrows.
Is it confirmed?

Damunk

Please always check out stuff on your own. It is certainly FALSE to state that Ndah has not played for a month. That is totally false. QED. Ndah was just injured in the weekend of December 18 and limped off that match. How on earth does that equate to being out for a month!

Now you can argue that he is currently injured but when this list was drawn was he injured? That is just BS.

But none of this matters because obviously there is a player to sell.

28 players and we have even more room for passengers and agents picks.

Thing is this covid is no joke, and we can have players wiped out of the team. There is no room for pretenders on our bench. Now more than ever. I just can't wait for this Portugese coach to be confirmed, just for this one reason.

Evidence that Eguavoen is trying to sell Ndah? Of course not!

CORRECTION:

I meant to say NEARLY one month.

He was subbed at the start of 2hf vs Sundowns from an injury on the 17th and did not play in the two succeeding wks of the SA league...



Second Half begins Mamelodi Sundowns 0, Orlando Pirates 0.
45 Substitution, Orlando Pirates. Kwandakwensizwa Mngonyama replaces Olisa Ndah because of an injury.
45 + 2 First Half ends, Mamelodi Sundowns 0, Orlando Pirates 0.

Many invites raise questions. Walcott in 2006 was one such invite. I have always questioned certain invites by all SE coaches - fans do that everywhere. But the default should not be to make unsubstantiated corruption allegations.

You keep stating he is injured. When was he injured? He was just injured last week and was playing in a game. Thus it is possible he was fit when list was drawn up. The question is then how serious is this injury and whether it is serious enough to discard him. This does not just apply to him, by the way. Any of these other players on the list can face the same issue now or tomorrow.

These are just lame and frankly silly justifications u are offering...

He has not played in the games following his half time withdrawal in the loss to Sundowns.

You say this does not just apply to him. Well who else does it apply to?

Yes injuries can happen in tournaments. That is precisely why it is questionable to take an injured or recoverng player to a tournament...

Which games? You claimed he was injured for a month. That is blatantly false. Can you provide support for that claim? This kid was injured a few weeks or less in December! We are still in December. How did you arrive at being injured for a month? The question really should be how did you arrive at your false claim that you have posted?

It is important that CE public are not deceived by such false claims. Can you post your source for tge claims that you have been making? It is important to not post thongs that are false.

I said he was injured for nearly one month. He was withdrawn at the half vs Sundowns and has missed the two games following that from the injury. He is injured, that is a FACT!

You can look up my posts on this issue...

The question is, what special football reason exists in the inclusion of the player in a final squad in a tournament?

Ndah injury unsettled Pirates in hammering by Sundowns, but 'that's no excuse'
by Admin
December 18, 2021, 1:38 pm


Orlando Pirates co-coach Fadlu Davids said the injury to centreback Olisa Ndah coming back for the second half with the scores at 0-0 was disruptive to his team, but that should be no excuse for the carnage that followed from rampant Mamelodi Sundowns on Friday night.

Davids was surprised Pirates allowed in three goals from set pieces, where he said Bucs had not conceded all season, as the Soweto giants took a 4-1 DStv Premiership hammering from Downs at Loftus Versfeld.

The result saw the Brazilians extend their lead to 18 points in their relentless pursuit of an unprecedented five straight Premiership titles.

Ndah started limping around the half-hour mark and did not return from the break. Davids said Pirates’ technical team only confirmed the dynamic Nigerian defender could not continue moments after the halftime team talk.

“I think we had a really good first half, tactically dominating in all areas, our high press unsettling them and unfortunate not to go a goal up by the break,” Davids said.

“Yes, the Ndah knee injury and learning he could not continue just moments after the halftime team talk unsettled us.

“And it was really disappointing to concede the two set pieces early into the second half, in the first five minutes back and then before 60 minutes, and really disappointing that we couldn’t bounce back from that.

“We’ve been really good with set pieces this season, not conceding a single goal [from them], so it was really disappointing to concede from three.

The new SE coach appointment is bad for agency business. Seems the squad announcement has given agents a very bad Christmas and New year.

Lest, we forget, we would not be needing, that software anymore. It can be officially decommissioned.

December 18 to 26 (8 days!!!!!) counts for one month out already injured. Let me check that was 6-7 days ago. Now we can define ONE MONTH as equal to one week, according to Txj? I am glad you have been bold enough to post it and to note that you had provided false information here. If you had not posted it, I was waiting to do so.

That's not what I said. I said, nearly one month of league games.

I posted it way back on this thread that it was nearly one month.

And it notes here that it is a KNEE INJURY, just in case u chose to be selectively blind...

He's not played two league games since been withdrawn at the half on the premiership game of 17 dec.

What does Walcott being English have to do with his callup being questionable? Did anyone accuse Ericsson of bring corrupt? No line up will ever please every fan (for instance I would have preferred Akpoguma as I like him) but to call a coach corrupt because you don't like his selection is wrong.

I was referring to others that had called the coach corrupt. I can count 3 of them so far.

[Lolly]

So Ndah is injured and has missed his club’s last 2 matches. What next?

[txj]

So Ndah is injured and has missed his club’s last 2 matches. What next?

Based on when the list was released and the injury timeline, I believe that they were aware and invited him nonetheless.

Which could mean a couple of things.

1. That they expect him to recover in time , perhaps in camp.

The question is, what makes Ndah this important in an area we have several options to have him leapfrog in this manner?

2. That what is important is having him in the squad.

[maceo4]

If he’s injured and being taken that’s a different story and definitely I can’t get behind that. We will soon know the deal.

[asabatex]

Eguaveon - Please drop the injured Ndah and call Ebuehi ASAP. Drop one of the useless goalies and call Akpoguma ASAP.
