Nwabili TAKE A F$%^ing BOW!!!

[packerland]

Served me humble pie. He played well. He made timely saves. Still need to show me consistency. But he played well. The most underrated part of his game is his calmness. His calmness and communication is a huge part of been a good goalkeepers. It helps the defenders.

You haven’t started eating pie. Peseiro (AFCON) and Waldrum (Olympics) specialty pies are baking as we speak.

Btw it is Nwabali not Nwabili

There seems to be some confusion about his correct name. Some media publications have even referred to him as both Nwabili and Nwabali in the same article. Personally, I think that, semantically, Nwabili makes a lot more sense than Nwabali


Cheers.

LOL...Wetin man no go read for this forum. What has media confusion got to do with what his name really is. The spelling of his name at the back of his jersey is NWABALI

the thing weak me set. Nwabali makes sense. In Igbo, Nwa means child and abali or abani means night/evening. By the way, welcome back Robby.

You are either an efulefu or not an Igbo man at all. Every genuine Igbo person knows unambiguously what Nwabili means and that is “May the child live”. To say that Nwabali and Nwabani are semantically the same is a bit of a stretch… and by the way, there is a Valentine Nwabili who currently plays football somewhere in India


Cheers.

My guy I will school you in Igbo (don’t go there).

Yes, Nwabili means “may the child live” but it’s said in Anambra accent which was what threw me off. Imolites and Aba people will pronounce it as Nwabiri which also means “may the child live.”

Nwabali means what I said it means. Now tell me I’m wrong?

My guy, trust me. You no sabi reach like dat.

I come from a long line of dibias and customary court presidents. Very few people on the face of this earth understand Igbo the way I do. Fewer than 10% of all Ndi Igbo would say abali instead of abani. Besides, Nwabili is a much more common name than Nwabali… and there’s no disputing that


Cheers.

10%? I beg to differ. Most of IMO state does use abali and that for sure makes up at least 20% of Igbos.

Abeg check your stat.

I hope so. We still have better coaches in Nigeria.

You know for guy is decent when people are having public lectures to get his name right.

If na Uzoho.

He doesn't fill me with confidence. He is always screaming and yelling like he is a bag of nerves and seems he may have slower than normal reflexes because of how big he is. He also looks like he has small hands.

We are a very defensive team so he is protected. He is yet to be tested.

This narrative is quite interesting. Especially when he has saved at least 4-5 one-v-one in the last 3 games. One-v-one! 3 of them in the CIV game.

For me, the yardstick we have used to judge him is that he is better than Uzoho. We have suffered a lot, so anything will be helpful at this point. I have been very impressed with him and my goal and hope is that he will become our 3rd choice goalkeeper. Just imagine we have 2 goalkeepers ahead of him! That would mean that we are set!!!

I agree that he is a third choice at best. His best save was the 1V1 against CIV. All the other long range efforts he looked panicked. He was well positioned for a few of them.

the same way they found Nwabili, they should go and find number 1 and 2.

Personally, I want us to zero in on the guys in Germany, Sweden and Italy. Those 3 + Nwabili is a good group to build from.

[Naija fan]

I just hope he is good at saving penalties in the event we end up in a penalty shootout.

Okoye will be back to reclaim his no 1 spot.

He is a better goalie than Okoye in my opinion and slightly better or at the same level as Ayola. He is also still improving and is a more modern goalkeeper than any of these other guys. Don’t let the league fool you please.

I'll watch him closely next time. Onana I feel yells and barks orders at his defenders which puts pressure on them.

[Bigpokey24]

What am I reading here about Nwabali isn't good enough. Smh. Now his yelling at his defense nah issue? Ok oooo. Bring back Uzoho so he can man the post and organize the defense because he won't yell.

Its not about the league - at least not in this case.
I’m happy with Nwabali but let’s be honest, he’s only played three games and hasn’t really been tested yet.
So far, so good.

[Sunset]

Still yet to be tested sha

[Naija fan]

I started off liking Nwabali just because he is not Uzoho. With 5 games in, I have seen enough and I am absolutely sold on him.
