So only one aerial ball that got loosed was all you saw abi? What about all the aerial balls he caught, won and handled beautifully?

What about the sweet stop/catch he made from Anguissa's top drive to the left bottom corner of Ezenwa's goal?

Ezenwa made a game high 16 recoveries and most of them were aerial balls won and you say he was shaky?? Sir.. go and watch that game again.

Even Ezenwa's first aerial save brought a handshake out of Aboubakar... his confidence was wicked.

The aerial ball he spilled was due to unavoidable interference... Apart from that he had no trouble at all dealing with such even in the face of Aboubakar's and Ngadeu's heights... he was brave.

And for the other shot he had to catch twice... that was from Fai on the right Wing... Fai's shot took a sharp bend and was almost finding the last angle of Ezenwa's bottom left corner but Ezenwa got down well to keep it out even though he had to handle it twice because of the tight angle of the curve of Fai's shot.

But all through... Ezenwa showed great grip and handles of the ball.... he even fooled Aboubakar in a neuer-like manner... right from his days at Ocean Boys FC in 2007/2008, He has always been a keeper that loves to display confidence and showboat with a smile on his face. But is he a good goalie? Yes. he is.

TheSuperNerd:
I saw a clip on twitter on Enyeama's progress with his right knee... he seems to be working hard to get back into shape... I reckon that by Year end or January he will be back... Enyeama will return but Only if he can get himself a club by January according to Gernot Rohr.

Ikeme is also still in the picture if he can return early enough from his health setback.

So for now... Ezenwa it is. Followed by Alampasu is who making progress in Portugal. And ofcos Ajiboye is there and The not-so-reliable Akpeyi.

Outside these we have David Nwokolor at Rijeka too. The situation is what it is... but Ezenwa seems better than Akpeyi confidence-wise and handles-wise.

AIG07:
Me didn't see any showboating o o o. I only saw an happy man who grew with confidence with every save...

Someone reported it here that he was just busy smiling while the team was filing out. Whereas Moses was just boning face. Abeg free the guy. If we have another clean sheet tomorow, expect him to be in goal in our subsequent matches even if eyeama is back.

Mujtahida:

Medically what's the possibility of Ikeme's recovery. His situation fills me with sadness.

TheGoodJoe:


I hope we adopt such confidence in our young players, especially when they are really good. No need to wait too long to get them in camp or playing. Nice post.

TheSuperNerd:
The chances of his recovery are quite good based on cancer stats across various cancer organization sites for Ikeme's kind of Leukaemia being Acute Myeloid or Acute Lyphoblastic... not sure which but it is one of them... All he needs is our prayers. He seems very lively and positive himself (posted a tweet of himself changing medical wards for tests and he was like... "Hey! it is deadline day and I am doing my medicals too... hehehe" ) and optimism is a good factor that can swing the whole thing in his favor.... "Power of Attraction"


So plsss... when you think of our Super Eagles just remember Ikeme and say a little prayer for him. It will go a long way.

I believe he will recover... his chances are good.

Joebie:
The only thing i remember of Ezenwa is his celebration reminiscent of Robert Kidiaba

TheSuperNerd:
@bolded.... Make that into the phantom zone


Interesting.... same lineup... What do you have to say about the view of replacing Echiejile with Aina at LB for this second leg tie? Some are saying so here shaa....


Actually I also wanna hear Chief Icon4s' thought on this and yours too in your customary sesquipedalianic manner....


Bring on the analytical fun you guys... let's go!!!

Joebie:
That's what we were doing with Osimgen. What if he scored?

Icon4s:

No changes from the starting line up.

Mujtahida:

Thanks for this words of assurance. He's always in my good thoughts and I pray he recovers not merely just to play but to live, he's got so many years in him, plus his young family to take care of. Read that Wolverhampton has been immense and I am glad the team showed that solidarity and love before the Cameroun game and the dedication of the victory to him.

From what i have read, his chances are good especially as it was most likely caught early.

If you are thinking what I think you are thinking.... then just don't go there....

Kwarrapt!

Yara Yara... plsss hope our lobotomy will hold on Sir GoodJoe

It has better...


But seriously shaa... the hotel really looks good

goldfish80:


Can any health expert in the house please enlighten me about leukemia? Because when first I heard about Ikeme's situation, I felt his career was finished.

femianski:
hmm "lobotomy " you sound like a medic

Mickael2:



they said it's acute leukamia, well it depends primarily on his blood group and how strong he is(his heart specifically), no need going deep, the report has it that Ikeme is a strong guy(I am guessing the strong guy means his heart and blood group makes sense) so he may play again, after more than a year of theraphy, I think he might even need a serious dose of psychotheraphy after that 1 year, making it to the world cup? 40% likely

TheSuperNerd:
Okay First of all... Leukemia is a kind of cancer. A cancer of the blood where the white blood cells are mainly affected including the bone marrow.
The anormaly is that the white blood cells are produced in large quantities and most if not all fail to mature and this disrupts the balanced ratio of red blood cells (responsible for Oxygen carriage) to White blood cells (responsible for fighting infections).

When this happens and infections and pathogens do invade the body, these immature WBCs cannot fight back. And when these leukemic WBCs accumulate beyond the normal, it interferes with Vitally precious organ amd system functions/physiology.

It affects red blood cells production meaning oxygen carriage will be threatened big time. And also platelets formation will start reducing and without platelets there will be no clotting of wounds and bruises.

So a leukemic person becomes vulnerable on the outside to any bodily harm such as bruises, internal or external harms such as bleeding and even more infections.

So that is a start... yes it is terrible but medical science has made it possible for Leukemia to be beaten.



And additionally like I told Mujtahida... it is acute Leukemia... not chronic. What I am not yet sure of is whether it is Acute Myeloid or Acute Lymphoblastic... but whatever the case his chances are quite good. He should only remian positive and so far he is doing a good job of it.
