Super Eagles Camp Update: Rohr's Selection Headache: Akpeyi Saves Penalty, Ajiboye Shot-Stopper, Ezenwa Past Glory Published: October 03, 2017 ![]() Photo Credit : BackpageMedia/FoxSportsAfrica Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr will not surprise many people when he names his starting line-up on Saturday, with Leon Balogun, Troost-Ekong, Wilfred Ndidi, Obi Mikel, Odion Ighalo and Victor Moses among the untouchable players. However, allnigeriasoccer.com understands the German tactician is faced with a major selection dilemma over which goalkeeper will be in between the pipes against the Zambians, if the workout on Tuesday evening is anything to go by. Plateau United goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye gave a good account of himself during today's practice game and is aiming to usurp either Daniel Akpeyi or Ikechukwu Ezenwa, but Rohr has not made up his mind. Ajiboye saw his ratings go up after showing his ability to deal with shots from point-blank range, and his reflexes were excellent. Daniel Akpeyi gave away a penalty during the practice game but he redeemed himself when he stopped the spot kick taken by Leicester City's Ahmed Musa. Though the goalkeeper trainer concentrated mainly on Akpeyi and Ezenwa during most of the goalkeeping drills, Ajiboye stood out the most at the training game. Nigeria have used three goalkeepers (Ikeme, Akpeyi and Ezenwa) in four matches during the World Cup qualifiers. Ifeanyi Emmanuel --AllNigeriaSoccer 3 Likes |

I don't think we will have issues finding a back up to Ighalo. We will take a look at Nwakaeme. And then, we have some exciting youth players lining up to compete. Famocious: |

Icon4s:that is it,it takes more than 3yrs for an U-20 to become mature to compete in higher level, as good as our 2005 midfield combo of Mike and Kaita were,when Eguaveon tried to use that inexperience midfied against a strong CIV,AFCON 20O6,we lost that game,but we were expecting the the kind of performace they produced in Holland 2005 against a strong and different opposition,but we were dissappointed. the Zambians would even b expecting one of the U-20 that scored a brace against Algeria to score us. |

Super Eagles Camp Update: Akpeyi Steals The Show In Eagles First Training Session With Point Blank Saves, Stops Penalty October 3, 2017013 Daniel Akpeyi was the main attraction during the Super Eagles training session watched by Owngoalnigeria.com Maxwell Pius at the training pitch of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium. The Eagles had a light session before splitting into two groups of 8 players each for a practice game, which Akpeyi excelled with save after save to frustrate the forwards he was up against. Akpeyi was difficult to beat throughout the session, and his form is a confirmation of how well he has been performing for his Premier South Africa League side Chippa United. The highlight of his performance was stopping a penalty from Leicester City Star Ahmed Musa, and the manner which he stopped shots during their shooting drills. Although Ikechukwu Ezenwa didn’t do badly, Akpeyi was by far the most impressive, however he was up against some of the top strikers of the team so that means he was constantly under pressure as they mounted attacks after attack. A decision on who will start between the duo is expected to be made in the coming days, but for now Akpeyi is in the lead after his performance this evening. Maxwell Pius --OwnGoalNigeria |

It seems OGN was just comparing Akpeyi and Ezenwa. No reference to Ajiboye. Sometimes I feel OGN don't really have reporters on ground like they claim. I may be wrong though. tbaba1234: 2 Likes |

Thank you! You just said it all. Algeria shot themselves in the foot. In Lusaka Algeria had loads of chances. On a good day, Algeria would have scored 6 goals. Had a cheat pk declined. There was an early chance after Zambia just hit the post from a corner kick, Algeria just went straight and created a 4 to beat 2 counter, but that bubbly pitch killed their passing as ended that chance. Algeria had like 3 more chances in the 1st half and had never ending chances in the 2nd half. In Constantine, Algeria missed an early pk, missed loads of chances. It was just luck and Mwene that helped Zambia. I have watched that Zambian game vs Algeria many times, and any coach that watches that game would just laugh... Daejoyoung: 3 Likes |

That was Esiti's introduction that slowed and stifled any kinda threat the Zambians had in Ndola. I don't think Ogu even made the bench in that game. Subs were Musa, Esiti and I think Shehu if I can recollect well. But I do get your points regarding Ogu. I remember he and Mikel over bossed the game against the Uruguayan team in that 2013 confeds.
