What of the one Enyeama conceded against Messi?

I already explained it in my previous post..too be honest, Ajiboye is looking like a better option to this guy..anytime I see him in goal for us, fear just grips me!!! He doesn't inspire any confidence as a gk...you know a gk confidence rubs off on his defenders..

You dey mind this yeye people? If not that I read both articles, would have been jumping up and down for nothing.

This is a rubbish article..

Ikeme will be doing the Kickoff in the friendly against England. It does not mean, he is back in the team.

chrisooblog:
as a good will gesture i think the nff should offer our japanese benefactor during the olympics a world cup ticket to watch our matches plus a signed jersey from all our players

a very good suggestion!

Icon4s:


You call that a routine free-kick from that distance. Have you not seen goalkeepers conceding free-kicks from even a further distance than that?

Did you notice the change in trajectory of the ball?

You would rather down play the quality of the free-kick.

How is this different from the one Enyeama conceded against Messi?

If Akpeyi did not move his feet, we would have said that was a bad free kick because he would have grabbed it easily.

Keepers train with these balls everyday and should understand the movement. Would you blame the ball movement for the Argentina's goal too?

Enyeama was not beaten on his side. he was beaten on the wall side.

Two things, you learn when training as a keeper,

i. Always cover your near post,
ii. For freekicks, don't get beaten on your side.

Unless, the strike was unstoppable/exceptional .. Getting beaten on your near post or on your keeper's side has to count as a error..

The evil spirits have targeted him at his club side after their success in the GWG.

Akpeyi, Akpeyi, Akpeyi, how many times did I call you? Deliverance is calling you o.

Akpeyi making blunders at club level..

On a serious note, no keeper is immune to blunders not even Buffon.

True, no keeper is immune to mistakes... We are all human..

I wouldn't call this "blunders" as you first put it. The first goal not his fault, normal goal, only exceptional GKs get to save that and we don't have them in abundance in the world.

The second goal was partly his fault, he guessed wrong by first moving to the left before seeing the ball flying towards the right hand side.. Bad judgment from him.

Akpeyi blunder for the second goal...

But u were hammering on the distance. That no WC goalkeeper should be conceding from such a distance.

How many players in the world can truly hit a ball from distance with power, curl and dip accurately consistently?? Its only messi and ronaldo have seen do this consistently over the years..There is just too few of them..

Sir, look at that fk again and tell me it has this attributes I mentioned that makes it difficult for goalies..the trajectory of that ball was not complicated at all, Akpeyi guessed wrong, he had enough reaction time to deal with that ball..

Rohr visits Musa

Musa on Rohr's visit:

"Words cannot express the gratitude I am feeling for what you did. I appreciate your generosity.
What did I ever do to deserve you? You are amazing!A great teacher inspires and you have inspired me to excel in the game of football. I stumbled and failed but you taught me to never give up and keep on trying. I just want to say THANK.. THANK FOR THE VISIT”

Rohr is truly a blessing to our football.

His Man Management skill is top notch. He is one the reasons the players are committed to the course.

I hope our local coachesare learning...

Well the fan's statement (tweet) said these 2 goals, didn't cite other goals so lets not assume.

And it was also bad judgment for Enyeama to stand too far left in a FK situation. As a GK, you don't stay too far wide just incase there is a deflection or a change of mind from the kicker.

tbaba1234:


The distance was too far for Akpeyi to concede from that. He should not be conceding from that distance.

For Messi's goal, Enyeama stood far away from the left side, probably expecting Messi to change direction. Even if Enyeama was well positioned, he could have still missed the ball.

I think, the Chippa fan is also reacting to past Akpeyi's error . I understand, he made an error in his previous match.

Words spoken from a former GK..it seems Akpeyi just lacks the basics of gk..

Sure, very average. We don't have any GK presently that is above average.

jihday:
Akpeyi is not just good enough, this one isn't about shaky shaky, he's at best a very average goalkeeper

I only described the second goal as a blunder... I will rephrase it.. "a bad error." . cc: icon4s

Same way Messi scored his free kick against Etebor's Las palmas few days ago. He put it where the keeper was initially standing.

Icon4s:


I am not holding brief for Akpeyi but I had to assess that goal with an open mind. You tbaba called it a " blunder" .You exaggerated it, which is why really I am taking my time to discuss it.

I would have just watched and moved on.Unfair criticism.

You cannot say Akpeyi should not be conceding from that distance when goalkeepers even concede from goals played from the centre circle.

He just initially misjudged the intended direction of the ball. He expected the player to aim at the space he left behind the defence wall but the player unconventionally played it towards the position where Akpeyi initially stood.

It is almost the same thing Enyeama did against Messi. Anticipating in the wrong direction.

tbaba1234:


Blunder: A mistake/error

That is exactly what that was..

Honestly am piss off,penultimate week ago Akpeyi conceded three goals in a match and guess what,it happens but not really fantastic in that match and am not impressed.

Talking about your first comment "Akpeyi making blunders at club...."

I think he has an eye deficiency because I have seen him wearing what looks like medicated glasses on more than once.

zicky:
Really not the blunder we expected like the one against Argentina but very very poor goalkeeping

Vincent Enyeama don chop the same goal before.

Yea, he's got the "I'm looking or not looking at you" kinda eyesight.

Important player but Messi is a stretch....

Hahahahahah! It is no longer not important, na Messi is a stretch.

Ndo.

Joebie:
That’s why I want Okechukwu Azubuike. A good ball holder and passer as well.

I will pick him over Agu.

Is Azubuike an AMF? Is he better than Raheem Lawal and Abdul Ajagun?

I already explained it in my previous post..too be honest, Ajiboye is looking like a better option to this guy..anytime I see him in goal for us, fear just grips me!!! He doesn't inspire any confidence as a gk...you know a gk confidence rubs off on his defenders..

I'm a real fan of Akpeyi but it reached a point especially against Argentina i need to dropped being a fan and look at things critically and even went back to Olympics why Siasia preferred Emma Daniel.

Good you mentioned Ajiboye,pls do you think Akpeyi and others are better than Ajiboye?and if they are better on what criteria.

Bengine,pls go and watch Sudan match again and be sincere,tell me any of our keepers put into consideration by Rohr that can makes those saves,may be Uzoho cos have not seen much of him.

Icon4s:


Oga, you are exaggerating this thing. And we all know the meaning of "blunder".

Thank God you posted the goal for us to see.

I guess had it been uzoho conceded those goals...your opinions would have been different.

let the truth be said.....that goal keeper faulted in the 2nd goal.

TheSuperNerd:
Shehu Abdullahi currently in action for Bursaspor in the Turkish super lig against Kayserispor. He plays in midfield as part of a double pivot.

Mikel Agu is on the bench. Ekong, well, not available due to suspension I think? Or is it injury? Someone can plss help with that on Ekong.

Suspension things.

Hahahahahah! It is no longer not important, na Messi is a stretch.

Oga, Point out where i said not important...

I started the whole discussion with important but Hazard is a stretch,,

somehow:

This is not the first time he is making errors. He made errors in their last game, i believe.

Humility017:

Note: I called it very poor goalkeeping from Akpeyi. For Uzoho I would have also said same or even less.

But what I am trying to point is the exaggeration given to it by Tbaba

tbaba1234:


Even with the level of Gent, Moses is not that important..

In fact, it can be argued that Kalu has performed better.

Commot the that and you have not important.

Oga, take it or leave it, Simon Moses is the Messi and Hazard of Gent. You heard it from the horses mouth.

Sorry but no excuses akpeyi should be saving that free kick all day. His initial movement suggest he tries to guess where the ball is going which means he can't see the ball from that distance could it be as the good captain suggested he has vision problems?

somehow:
Same way Messi scored his free kick against Etebor's Las palmas few days ago. He put it where the keeper was initially standing.

Meaning the goalkeeper committed a blunder?

forgiveness:


Vincent Enyeama don chop the same goal before.

Post a video evidence of it

forgiveness:


Ok .

Oga, take it or leave it, Simon Moses is the Messi and Hazard of Gent. You heard it from the horses mouth.

Meaning his importance is not on the level of Messi or Hazard for Gent..

I leave it... I watch the games enough to know that assertion is false. The stats do not back it.
