I believe so too..... He may not have played for about two months but impressed greatly against Valnecia, Malaga and Atletico madrid for the NPFL all-stars. He was even captain of the all-stars team. I believe Ezenwa can do it.... HE HAS TO DO IT! This is crucial..... It's a more manageable risk compared to other choices we have now. Although there are folks who prefer Daniel Akpeyi. enomakos: 2 Likes |

We get many goalkeepers but I don't know why we don't want to invite dem. Bamidele Aiyenugba has been ignored so too long despite his performance last two seasons ago. What about Jonathan Ligali of Montpelier? I prefer Emmanuel Daniel to Ike and Ikpeyi. |

Nice question.... ![]() ![]() This is why I always use this line when referring to our rising new super golden generation.... "It is at the time darkness is thickest that light is ever nearer..... For out of the "blackest" or darkest night heralds a bright dawn" Nigerian football is rising again, slowly but surely out of her darkest hours ever.... Periods which saw thick black clouds descend over our football.... They are dispersing and making ways for the rise of a new dawn. So heaven did fall, but again Heaven rises.... Steadily but "surely" ![]() Always and Always, "the night is darkest just before the dawn" ![]() Icon4s: |

TheSuperNerd: The last time I checked when we meet Algeria in the unforgettable “90 minutes to glory” in 1994 world cup qualifiers Algeria were on the high having won the nations cup 2 years back and having their golden generation While Nigeria was on the rise with the Okochas, Finidis etc and the ever reliable Yekini who was marked out. “We defeated them” by getting the needed drew 1-1 to qualify having won the first leg 4-1 The same scenario is playing out they are the best ranked team in African and Nigeria on the rise again We new face “KILLER” Iheanacho and Iwobi and the moses, Mikel etc Sure Thunder will strike twice…. ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

forgiveness:yea good talk we have many goalkeepers but do we trust them btw d stick.D issue of Enyeama coming back should not arise now coz he has retired from d team with d reason best know to him,though Mikel suffered d same humiliation from Olishe but did not announced his retirement. It's left for Enyeama to say am available again for selection,we can't force him though i wish is around in a situation like this and salvage us.We don't have option than to stick to Akpeyi,Ezenwa and Alampasu for this crucial match,with good psychologist there w be no issue. It's a pity Ikeme w not be available and Enyeama has retired coz d two are class,Ikeme is d most technically sound goalkeeper Nigeria ever had coz he understand d rudiments of goalkeeping,he read d game very well.Enyeama remained d most talented to have come out of Nigeria league and face euro giant England at world cup as a rookie. As i said we can't force him out of retirement but it w be good to have him and Ikeme vie for No 1 position,d rivalry w be great.It w remind us of old days of Rufai,Agbonavbare and Aloy Agu. The goalkeeper trainer should just brace up and psyche the trio(Akpeyi,Ezenwa and Alampasu just like how coach Adisa psyche Enyeama up against England and he delivered. 1 Like |

robosky02: Coted'voire were the African Champions then.. They won in Senegal 92.. The 1:1 game was in 1993. Nigeria was placed in a group with the 1990 champs and the 1992 champs. That 1:1 game in Algiers was a killer. Algeria had nothing to play for but played Nigeria off the pack that day.... We only needed a draw to qualify. |

terzurum5: Thanks for the insightful point. This is a National hero who turned up in camp two days after burying his mother. Losing a mum is one of the Toughest things someone can go through and all Enyeama wanted was to keep. As Enyeama said, many will not understand the sacrifices they go through to keep the Super Eagles going. When you hurt someone, you plead to soften the person's heart. You give the person time and keep pleading. We should not look at it as arrogance or pride. We should look at his sacrifices. We need Enyeama back. Rohr thinks so and I do too. Let us support the recall of Enyeama. 1 Like 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd: Iheanacho, Success, C. Nwakali performed with top quality. I believe if Alampasu gets the chance, he will perform well. It begins with his camping performance. I hope Rohr does not use age excuse to deny him his chance. If Alampasu does better than the other goalkeepers in camp, then the he deserves the starting line-up. 1 Like 1 Share |

Icon4s: We should try and look from Enyeama's point of view and not ours. Enyeama is a symbol of sacrifice as soon as he arrived in camp two days after burying his mum. There is now way he can negatively out do that. Those who caused the problems in the NFF are still in the glass house. So returning proved tough. With time, when he knows we appreciate his heroic efforts, he can return to the team. |

Ezenwa is not very good... He is poor on crosses and is often in no man's land from simple crosses and corner kicks... Look at the goals conceded against Malaga and Valencia. He has decent reflexes but terrible technique. He does not cover his near post adequately. Emmanuel Daniel and even Alampasu will do a better job. |
