Joebie:
Ezenwa has conceded less in open play although clocking more time for SE. the stats favor him.

Icon4s:


You no trust Ajiboye again?

forgiveness:


How many of Uzoho and Alampasu games have you watched that you arrived at the conclusion they are good aerially?

Well, if Rohr decides to take Ezenwa to the world Cup based on sentiment, na em palaba be dat. My own be say make Ezenwa no man goal post for WC except Rohr is really sure, he is the best we have.

TheSuperNerd:
Haba naa.... You no read my analyses? I give Ajiboye kudos for his shot stopping ability and that is not in doubt, he is awesome when it comes to shot stopping (but Ezenwa is also pretty good there).... but I was the very first person to point out his weakness from aerial balls just minutes into the game against Morocco.

Me I know who Rohr will lick between Ajiboye and Ezenwa. I know for sure who he will go with.

Joebie:
Sir it's like you didn't get me. How long will it take for us to ascertain who is best among them? Are we going to wait until the final camping?

If our GK coaches know what they are doing, by now they should already have two serious contenders. These two GKs should have full game times in all the friendlies. It's one thing to get the best, it's another thing to prepare the best for that big stage. If Uzoho is the best, he should get the majority of game time in the friendlies before the World Cup. That will give him enough preparation for the tournament proper. Likewise, if it's Ajiboye or Ezenwa.

TheSuperNerd:
In that game alone against Argentina, Uzoho showed his aerial prowess. Not a debate sef.

As for Alampasu... He never keep for us but a few games seen of his back in Portugal before recent times also show his aerial strength. Alampasu is very good oooo... Sad we never see am in GWG. Chaaaiiii


And take it from me... Rohr will not make Ezenwa our no.1 for the WC. He will make the squad but He won't be no 1

DrKlever:
honestly i don't have any words to say.. was just laughing all through the duration of the match. This is probably the worst team to wear Nigeria colours. No positive from the game, it's just a national disgrace.. No fighting spirit, no hunger, the most painful part is that the players ain't even good looking.. Bunch of ugly old men with falsified ages yet playing a style of football that best describes their looks. spits!

Haaa! This one na oral massacre oo.

Bros una no do well o.

somehow:
How did you know this? Were you at the scene and what was used to ascertain who did better according to what you wrote here or is it hearsay?

realpoacher:


Oga blame anybody else but leave the defense out of it, bar Osas, the defense would have done well if they had a good midfield and a great DMF shielding them...

You all are not just good at reading matches

Right from WAFU we had no midfield, emphasis and blames mostly were on defense and attack forgetting that the cement (midfield) was completely unexisting... Imagine this man Salisu taking just 4 lousy midfielders to this tournament. God I am so livid right now

I repeat let Salisu stay far away from the main Super Eagles team before he infects Rohr with his incompetence

It is only a foolish man who keeps doing the same over and over but expecting different result...

Honestly there is something terribly wrong with the mind of a black man... Just see the way these Arabs teared us apart... We were in sixes and sevens at the start of the second half,... No coordination, no team work, can't mark, can't defend, can't string two to three passes together, and we couldn't attack...

Very terrible players

Is it how bad our players in the league are?... Even without tactics, can't they dribble?.. Can't they hold the ball?... Can't they pass accurately?

Atleast I see boys on the street holding the ball skillfully and comfortably

Icon4s:


Talking about aerial balls.

Thank God that first goal never counted. ..but what difference does it make anyways. We still got trashed.

AIG07:
Likita mai alura, I didn't blame him for all the goals. But he made same costly and avoidable mistakes TWICE. I wouldn't have blame a much younger goalkeeper for those. But this guy is well in to his late 20s and as been keeping for over 10yrs.

Icon4s:


That is how you guys jump to quick conclusions.

How many of Uzoho's and Alampasu's games have you watched.

I don't know how you guys do it o. Una too dey put hope for untested players.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah.... When thatgoal went in I was mad at Ajiboye. I was like, "Man! Don't you remember what your height is like?!!"

It was chalked off but yeah the inevitable still happened all leaked thru the wing of Osas Okoro... Best RB at the CHAN God! Cannot believe that Osas was called Best RB at the CHAN on this very thread! Just preposterous!

DrLikita12:


I understand where you are coming from but I don't think there's any difference between him and Ezenwa. Ezenwa is more playful so I prefer Ajiboye. Ezenwa did the same against Algeria, they just did not take advantage of it.
Also our leagues and academies do not seem to be the place to train young players so I think that generally, across the leagues (NPFL,NNL,etc), you will find that most goalkeepers are like this.

Clementoke:
Salisu Yusuf is just a waste of slot in that technical crew. Kennedy Boboye or Maikaba would have have done better.

zicky:
who say ajiboye is better than ezenwa, Na the same people. see the was he punch shot to the opponent like college goal keeper

Icon4s:


Bros, there is a limit to what Salisu can do.

Most of those boys don't have basic football knowledge.

TheGoodJoe:
Congratulations to the Moroccans for their well deserved victory.

I think this is the worst assembled Nigerian team ever. The defenders were atrocious. Zero ability to control the ball and the strategy of play was horrendous.

Worst offender was Ikuowem or what so ever his name is. That guy took leaving gaps to a whole new level.

I bet if there was an award for most dribbled player, he would have gotten it.

The Gulf in class was too much and I hope we learn from this.

I will still talk about the selection process. I think a camp screening process with players from not just the pro league would have given us a more quality selection.

I hope we approach this tournament with more seriousness.

TheGoodJoe:


According to multiple reports and social media statements from people who monitored the different sessions.

TheGoodJoe:


So, who is to blame? Is it not Salisu that selected players without football brains?

TheSuperNerd:

People like?

TheGoodJoe:


Ikuowem or what so ever his name is was a bigger culprit than Osas Okoro. Don't you remember one of his missed clearance that led to I think the third goal?

It was his wing that put so much pressure on Eneji which finally led to a red. That guy is atrocious.

TheGoodJoe:


Salisu did not select well. I do not believe those are close to the best the leagues of the country can produce.

TheSuperNerd:
Mbanu! Osas Okoro takes first place in gaps leaving, poor marking, and most dribbled player on the pitch... They ghosted pass him with consummate ease and all goals came through build up via his wing.

His wing was the true leakage. Ikwuowem Udoh was good and better than Osas.
