safarigirl:
oh yeah, Aiyenugba. Thanks

Anyway, I don't see how Enyeama can be the immediate solution to anything or why he is even a topic of discussion these days. If Ezenwa sucks at penalties, wr have other goalies we can try. This overdependence on a player that is yet to even commit to the team is nauseating

Humility017:

my brother you don't need to prove it...
many of us here know the truth....
alloy agu and his gimmicks...has been paving way for him....

safarigirl:
what is paining me here is that none of then clamouring for Enyeama can categorically tell us what is going on with his career as we speak.

Where is Enyeama?

safarigirl:
No, I cannot consider such because Rohr specifically said that Enyeama would have to have a club by January and regular game time to be considered. As far as I know, he has not fulfilled those requirements, and unless he suddenly has new friends in the NFF (considering everyone is supposedly against him), he is not going to gatecrash the team. NFF cannot outline six friendlies because of ONE person, the ridiculousness of that idea is.....well, just that, ridiculous


However, the six friendlies could be for a more plausible idea that Rohr wants to switch up players positions in th team and wants to test the current goalie he sees great potential in- Uzoho, because I cannot fathom why he would send a trainer from the NT to Spain to train a kid he doesn't have plans to rocket to the #1 position, it's not like anyone ever thinks he would play a supposed third choice goalie


If Team Enyeama cannot tell us what exactly Enyeama is up to these days, I think talking about him is as fruitless as wishing Martins will make the team, if not more fruitless.

Please,if you are supporting Enyeama, tell us what he is up to, or hold your peace.

lexyman:


they know but they have refused to say it as it is , for those of you who cares to know ..... he is presently the 3rd goal keeprer in Angers . .... meaning he may remain on the bench till world cup .

safarigirl:
so, Enyeama is good at penalty kicks? Didn't they have to switch him for Aiyenugba while in Enyimba when it was time for PK?

Mickael2:



this is the world cup, nothing is ridiculous. Do you know that some statisticians are paid thousands of US dollars to prepare teams for this mundial? Ok now what is the guarantee that Uzoho will come good? None. We can only hope for that but what if the idea behind the 6 friendlies is 'if Uzoho does not come good before then(according to the personal GK trainer's opinion)then he isn't going to come good anytime soon so best to just bring Enyeama and get him up to speed with six top matches'. Of course these are all assumptions, intelligent assumptions made off the top of my head but this is a scenario which could pan out and if Rohr is the meticulous fellow I believe he is then he is planning for such a scenario as well.


However on the other front, Enyeama's move to Angers has not gone straight through because of his wage issues. And since we still have a week plus left, the Enyeama camp is still holding out for another club. Infact Angers wasn't the first choice and the news was leaked by some section of the media which was why Enyeama gave it a second thought at all

safarigirl:
LOL.....now, you're just clowning


I repeat, NFF (who all hate Enyeama BTW), suddenly lining up six friendlies just so they can call up Enyeama is RIDICULOUS.

There are no guarantees Enyeama even wants to wear the Nigerian jersey at all, talk less go to the World Cup with anyone, but you nice people, have decided to take it upon yourselves to carry campaign for a man who is neither here nor there, to what end?


I will rather risk Uzoho, than Enyeama.

safarigirl:
there is no news of him even moving to Angers on Google.

The guy is in limbo, but they are still clamouring for him. Like I said, it's nauseatimg

Icon4s:


Ezenwa is about the most consistent goalie in the league . He has been in the national team set up for quite a while now working under Keshi, Oliseh, Salisu and then Rohr and has gotten several exposures both in the continent and outside the continent.

This is a major edge he has over all other goalies in the NPFL.
I have always stated that goalkeepers selection is a lot more complex that outfield players selection.

There are a lot to the selection criteria.

Breaking news: Watford coach Marco Silva sacked!

AIG07:
@ the bolded. This is what so many of our people have not come to understand- THE MAGNITUDE OF THE COMPETITION. There is a reason it is named THE FIFA MEN'S WORLD CUP.

They keep refering to the clean sheets we had during the qualifiers. They talk about How our defence was rock solid against Africa giants which is true and no need for arguement...

I am in no way discrediting the top notch performances metted out by our team during the qualifiers but we've failed to understand that the calibre and quality of players we'll be meeting at the World Cup are way too different. We will no longer be facing attacks from the Mulengas, Fashion Sakalas, Slimanis, Aboubakars of football-the opponents have changed.

It'll be suicidal to pitch our defence with average goalkeepers against World Deadliest Predators. There is need for reinforcement.

Mickael2:



eh I am not sure the NFF can just wake up and fix six friendlies, I am pretty sure the coach has a hand in that, a big one. So it's not as if the NFF woke up and said 'hey, 6 friendlies for Enyeama to get into shape y'all'. Far from that, maybe the coach submitted a plan for his world cup and insisted that he needs 6matches or more to keep some of his squad players up to speed(as a matter of fact this was exactly what Rohr presented to the technical committee a few weeks after we finished the qualification process for the world cup, when Enyeama's case was still strong)

Watford Sack Isaac Success’ Manager Marco Silva After Poor Run Of Games



Kayode Ogundare

Complete Sports Nigeria




Super Eagles striker Isaac Success is set to get another manager after Watford took the decision to sack Marco Silva following a run of just one win in eleven Premier League games.

The decision came on the back of Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Leicester City which left Watford in 10th but the club points at a “significant deterioration” in the wake of Everton’s attempts to lure the manager away from the club in November as reason for the sack.

“This has been a difficult decision and one not taken lightly,” read a club statement. “The club is convinced the appointment of Silva was the right one and had it not been for the unwarranted approach by a Premier League rival for his services we would have continued to prosper under his leadership.

“The catalyst for this decision is that unwarranted approach, something which the board believes has seen a significant deterioration in both focus and results to the point where the long-term future of Watford FC has been jeopardised.

“For the security and success of the football club, the board believes it has to make a change.

“The club will seek to make a swift appointment and there will be no further comment until that appointment has been made.”

The Portuguese was among the Toffees’ primary targets after they dismissed Ronald Koeman, with the 40-year-old having presided over an excellent start to the season following his move from Hull City in May.

But Watford rebuffed the Goodison Park club’s approaches, as the Merseysiders refused to pay the reported £20million fee demanded in order to release Silva from his contract.

Saturday’s loss leaves Watford only five points above 18th-placed Southampton, who play their game in hand on Sunday.

safarigirl:
you are not suggesting a reasonable reinforcement.

Suggesting Enyeama is like suggesting we bring back Peter Rufai

1. Both have retired from International football
2. Both are not actively playing football currently


Y'all keep saying the same thing:

- World Cup is not a joke
- It is not for average goalies
- it is not for small boys


The way you people are talking, it's as if this is Nigeria's first World Cup. It is on record that our best World Cup outing was with untested, average players.

TheGoodJoe:


It baffles me how some praise the standard of the World Cup and suggest the importance of quality player. Next they suggest we select players not on current quality but historical data.

If the World Cup is serious business as it is, we need the best in every role, not oldest or most invited.

even Enyeama lets in penalties, there are no guarantess of anything, and really, how many penalties are we likely to concede? How many had Enyeama saved before he became first choice goalie for us?

You don't have to watch any of the players really, you aren't the coach, so whether you watch or not, e no mean, if Rohr has watched the goalies, he will know who is better. Unlike other rudiments of keeping, it's pretty straightforward to tell how good a goalie is during training.

All this Enyeama talk is getting stale, Enyeama is not God....he was at three World Cups, and all his saves did not help us go farther than Round of 16. He is not the key to anything, the guy is struggling to save what is left of his career as it is
