TheGoodJoe: Alampasu will very likely not outshine any of the other 2 goalies in camp. Attention of the coaches would be more on Ezenwa and Akpeyi. |

Icon4s: If he does not Outshine them and he sits on the bench, that is absolutely fine with me. Let the best in camp keep. Let the best in camp keeps. |

TheGoodJoe: "Kick that experience talk out"? ![]() Then let us field our U17 team against Algeria. There is no way Alampasu can even be the best goalie in camp. Because he is not the best. I repeat, even if Akpeyi and Ezenwa are injured, Alampasu will still not be in goal against Algeria. 1 Like |

goldfish80: I guess you want us to believe De Gea played at a high level before he made his debut for Atletico Madrid at 18. Please. This is not about tagging. It is about the coach given the best performer in camp a Starting position. Not just about Alampasu. I wonder how many times I have to repeat the same thing. 1 Like 1 Share |

Icon4s: I did not say field an U17 team. Field the best in camp. If an U17 Nigerian team will thrash the Current Super Eagles team 6-0 in camp, then they are the better team. I doubt we can bring an U17 team that will come close to our current Super Eagles team, so we are fielding the better team. It is about Better, Not Experience. |

Icon4s: If he was playing for arsenal u would be all over him. If it were up to people like u the young will never grow, let me guess he is not as disciplined as the kid at ac milan who is doing well at an even younger age. Cameroon used barca's feeder keeper and it wasn't all doom and gloom, this boy had a clean sheet against porto, he is a regular starter at his club. Oga wat i'm trying to say is u too dey fear, take a chance once in a while and get out of the bubble. 3 Likes |

Tottenham Hotspur loanee Nabil
Bentaleb is racing against the clock to
be fit for Algeria’s World Cup qualifier
against Nigeria next week.
The former France U19 international
doubled Schalke’s advantage in their
2-0 win over FC Krasnodar in Group I of
the Europa League on Thursday night,
but subbed out in the 58th minute
after getting a blow on the knee.
In the coming hours, Bentaleb will
undergo medical examinations to
determine the severity of the injury he
picked up.
It would be a big blow to the Desert
Foxes manager Georges Leekens if the
central midfielder is ruled out of the
trip to Nigeria, with Bordeaux
midfielder Ounas out of contention and
Leicester City star Slimani battling to be
fit.
Nigeria had only one injury worry
before their biggest game since facing
France in the second round of the
2014 World Cup and have called up a
replacement for Wolves goalkeeper Carl
Ikeme.

I wonder if the coach of the finest ever U-17 side in history is wrong to say this about Alampasu... I share his thoughts too even I know Rohr won't play him because of many Nigerians' tendency of a heart attack. Seeing Alampasu in goal will kill some even before the match starts... Such lack of faith... ![]() ...................................................................... Alampasu Should Be In Goal Against Algeria- Nigeria Coach Confident He Won’t Disappoint ![]() Following the exclusion of goalkepper Carl Ikeme from the Super Eagles squad for the World Cup 2018 tie against Algeria in Uyo, one of the other goalkeppers in the list Dele Alampasu has been backed to man the post. Alampasu who is on loan to Portuguese third division side Cesarense from top division side Feirense has caught the eyes in the six games, he has played so far in the league. The 19 year old who was voted the best goalkeeper at the 2013 U-17 World Youth Championship face stiff competition from the experienced duo of Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa, if he is to be between the sticks on the 12th of November. However, Nigeria U-17 coach Manu Garba , the coach who trusted him with the number one spot at the World Youth Championship that catapulted him to fame three years ago believes he has the quality to fill in for the injured Ikeme. ”He is a natural shot stopper. He won’t be intimidated by the opposition, his confidence between the sticks is rare. If selected he won’t disappoint, am confident in his abilities” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. ”People talk about his lack of experience but he has been in Europe for two years. How many young African goalkeppers are in Europe? It tells you his quality.” Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/11/04/alampasu-should-be-in-goal-against-algeria-nigeria-coach-confident-he-wont-disappoint/ |

I think Alampasu is a great talent, but considering the variables, akpeyi should be between the sticks. Alampasu has never kept for the SE in a competitive match of such magnitude. There is no much room for mistake in this world cup qualifier due to the limited games, which can make alampasu feel a bit nervous and shaky. But you can't compare it with club football where there are a lot of games and room to correct your mistakes, which makes you feel a bit relax and confident. So I think we should go with Akpeyi. We can try Alampasu in other less tensed games for a start. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:But a young goal keeper can be excellent in training and still get overwhelmed in that kind of match. I can tell you that no good coach will gamble him like that against a very important match like Algeria. Even Onigbinde only played Enyeama against England after we had been out of the World Cup. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 4:07pm On Nov 04, 2016 |
BascoVanVeli:You miss the point: If he was keeping for Arsenal, he would not be a rookie with that kind of experience. He would have been used to handling very good opposition and the crowd that comes with it. Dele does not have the experience for such an important match. There is no way Rohr will gamble Dele in that match. We can't leave things to chances. |

I like Alampasu but for this game, any keeper that makes a mistake might never be forgiven. I think, it is too early for him to suffer that. The stakes are too high. If we have qualified before the last game in Algeria, i will start prospects like Alampasu. |

joseph1013: And an experienced keeper can fumble during matches. Ask Peter Rufai, Ask Joe Hart, Ask David James. Keepers like De Gea and Courtois showed a young keeper can deal with the pressure. We are talking of a team with Iheanacho and Iwobi, U21 players as some of the star players. 1 Like 1 Share |

tbaba1234: As for me, the point is simple. We need the best goalkeeper in camp. Unless we are not interested in fielding our best team. |

joseph1013: If Alampasu shows better form than the other goalkeepers in camp and the coach chooses to drop him for a weaker performer in camp, is that not leaving things to chance? Hoping the weaker keeper does during the game what he could not do in training? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by tbaba1234: 4:26pm On Nov 04, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe: Even if Alampasu has a great camp, he can still freeze up in the real match situation. The other players have dealt with bigger stages. It is a risk that the coach will be unwilling to take. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 4:30pm On Nov 04, 2016 |
tbaba1234: Why are you guys always keen on "can freeze"? Even experience goalkeepers and players freeze. Not just young keepers. Any keeper can have a bad day. What counts is how well a team prepared. Opting for a weaker choice will mean going with a less quality keeper. Hart, James and co. disappointed on big stages. So making it look as if it is only young players that disappoint does not add up. We go with the best choice in camp, after drills and scrimmage games. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:The probability of it happening to Alampasu is higher than Akpeyi, just as in the early matches of U17 world cup. People tend to get a bit jittery or nervous when embarking on a new challenge. |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by joseph1013: 4:59pm On Nov 04, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe:This is no point. The best players fumble occasionally. Messi, Neymar, Suarez were reduced to weaklings against City in the second half of Tuesday's match. Ronaldo messed up on Wednesday. A green-horn is never used in a very important match except there is no other option. You're talking about de Gea and Courtois forgetting that club is different from country, and that they were not called up to their national teams until they had played really good oppositions and have handled great pressures. Abeg, leave talk. 1 Like |
