Believe me I am impressed as you are as regards Idowu. However, we've had men who we've seen again and again in this team. We've been able to assess their strengths and weaknesses just because we have seen them overtime. The more you know your players the better. We know a good player when we see them, granted. That does not mean we don't need to see them again and again. Idowu has made a strong case. I've already said we want to play another friendly, and let's start that one just the way we ended this one. We want to play teams that will expose us. The earlier we know our deficiencies the better. Rohr knows that too well. You guys should keep naming players that should go to Russia because of one match performance. We've seen Ogu again. So if we start to make that opinion about him, that's more logical. daveP: 1 Like |

Kog45: stop misunderstanding me pls, am only pointing to the two matches aina has had more playing time and he has been poor so far which most folks have admitted to so what's my offence? not making a case for elderson but aina has not been better so far, ok? stop taking issues too far |

Mujtahida:Maybe he should find a Turkish club in the winter transfer window. It is very evident that Ekong has found his feet playing in the Turkish league. Balogun could benefit from such a move as he would be guaranteed good playing time more than anything else. 2 Likes |

Rohr: ” We have Ahmed Musa and the captain (Mikel Obi) of the team. He has a connection here through the family. Brian played well, scored a goal. His prospects depend on how he will perform at the club. His debut, I’m happy. on his position we have other options, so who will pick who plays better, he will be involved in the fight” Source: owngoalnigeria.com Rohr is not resting on his oars. I have also on the back of our performance yesterday been saying it's a fight and the fight has just began. 4 Likes |

good.. that was exactly my point. Even Uzoho needs more game time. We are just so glad that he is such a young goalie with a huge potential. Personally, I'd like him to be #1 right away, but I want to see more from him still. Mujtahida: |

goldfish80:You don't make conclusions on a player just because of a below-par performance in just one game. Balogun is still Our best defender in that team, believe or not. When a player has lost form you conclude that in a string of 3 or 4 games, not one. ... As you're already trying to put him on the black list. |

bigblangston:Did he concede it with nation team,hope you remember Cech conceded like 5 goals this season,does it mean he is not good. As at 1993 Rufai was just trying to get his feet back and dropping a la liga keeper keeping week in week out raised a lot of questions then,though we won Afcon but it was glaring in the semi final and final Dodo Manyana was not Dodo of maroc 88. The best of Rufai was 1983 to 1989 and nobody to argue that, this was Rufai of Stationary Store,Femo scorpion of Eruwa,Require Dragon of Benin Republic. Did you remember Rufai was clubless in early 90s that forced him to go back to school,his clubless gave rise to Alloy Agu who was doing it well with Maastricht in dutch league and Agbonavbare at Deportivo LA Coruna. Rufai contract at Lokeren was later cancelled it was hectic for him during this period and Westerhoff need to come in and recommended him to Go Ahead Eagles in Dutch league. Westerhoff needs to listen to yearnings of fans cos we don't want see any keeper apart from Rufai, this was what cost the like of David Ngodigba eagles shirt. Prior to our last WC qualifications match against Cameroon in Yaounde, Rufai came to camp uninvited and Westerhoff said no way,he took Ngodigba to Yaoundé, we lost the match by a lone goal but fans descended on Ngodigba for no reason. The meted the same treatment on Alloy Agu,Nigerians don't want Alloy in goal no matter his performance though a very average keeper by every standard but Rufai was not having it good in Europe. The discovery of long forgotten Agbonavbare was a masterstroke that assisted Nigeria in qualifying for her first WC,despite his heroic performance, fans still believe he was not the best even the NFF believed Rufai was the ultimate. This forced Westerhoff to invite Rufai after qualification to afcon and WC to see Rufai cos he thought despite Agbonavbare performance and for fans to be yearning for Rufai then he must be a good keeper. Goalkeeper trainer really work on Rufai to bring him back to form,this paved way for Dodo as number 1 at Afcon and WC but very glaring those that watched him at afcon 84 and maroc 88 knew Rufai has passed his prime just like Stephen Keshi. I had a lot of discussion with Clemens Westerhoff cos i handled most of his utilities bills so we talked a lot on Nigeria football and the politics involved,so i was able to get some fact from him ranging from players selections and he said loyalty first before perfornance. He said initially he doubted Rufai loyalty and also his club form did not help the situation and need to settle for Alloy Agu and Agbonavbare but he regretted not given him the chance prior to Yaounde match in 1989,that he later listened to fans yearning after 4 years just to take a look but funny enough the goalkeeper trainer admired Rufai. he said Super Eagles was the most difficult job in the world cos everyone in Nigeria knows the game and love the team passionately. 5 Likes 1 Share |
