realpoacher:



I have said it before and I will say it again. Icon4s, you have a personal vendetta against this poor boy!

This is a 19 year old rookie but very exceptional keeper for his age and drafted into the mix to do what keepers far above his age are struggling to do.

Yet you won't let him rest,...

Enyeama came in at age 20 at 2002 world cup to stop a Paul scholes shot, from that day on he was confirmed Nigeria's No1 Goalkeeper for 13 years.


This boy Uzoho has kept clean sheets against Argentina and Poland in front of their home fans and even saved a one-on-one with Lewandoski.

This is a boy that grew into the game after a shaky nervous start, he punched away most shot horizontally( this is what professionals do) , and caught firmly the shot that he could.

This is a boy that covered his angle very well even if a shot was going wide. Yet this is the same boy that you will castigate at will.

If Courtiose had kept for us last night and Lewandoski shot went pass through his leg,..I bet you wouldn't have blame him.... If Akpeyi had kept for us last night and one of the straight shots at him scored( because Akpeyi usually swing sideways away from his position before diving back to his spot and by then, a direct straight shot at him would have already gone into his net), you obviously wouldn't blame him.

But you can blame Uzoho who is doing well so far, you blame him for his inexperience, you blame him for school boy errors, you blame him for everything.

And I wonder how this exceptional good keeper will have this so-called experience that you gloat about without playing such a high temple match?.


I also wonder how he can grow if he doesn't get games?..

You can blame Uzoho because after all he is truly a rookie. You blame Uzoho after all he the fall guy.

But remember this, this same rookie and inexperience boy has played 135 minutes against Argentina and Poland without conceedeing a goal. Infact he achieved this when he had to come in to clean the mess of one of the so called experience keeper and he cleaned it well.

Also remember that this same rookie came out tops on a one-on-one against his senior in Lewandoski while a world best keeper T. Courtoius could not do the same when he came against his mate, he was just opening his leg anyhow like ashawo kobo kobo for Messi.

I always give respect to who earns it and Uzoho has earned my respect from yesterdays match. Just like you, I observed that Uzoho was jittery in the first half so much that I had my heart in my mouth BUT he came out in the second half and cleared all my doubts....as in at a point crosses from corners and freekicks were floating in from different angles and for once, there was no rush of blood to his head. He kept his cool and kept his goal line very well.

Mr Man, we have a jewel in our hands. And Yes! He has just been tested and he came out Tops

Martz101:


Name an attacking midfielder we should have gotten to replace, do you think Nigeria is Chelsea were we can afford to buy fabregas because we need a midfielder

Martz101:


Naija my people but he has scored 4goals and is even our highest goal scorer since Rohr took over, he only played 4 games and scored 3 in qualifier, the one against Cameroon was outside the box, if you want to criticize a player do that constructively

Joebie:
Echiejile can throw from the bench.

Daejoyoung:

We have Aluko, and what of Kingsley Sokari? even Nosa lgiebor has been completely forgotten.
To strengthen the team, we don't need an Agu since we have so many good players in his position. We need a Samuel Kalu, Sone Aluko, Ajiboye(Aiyenugba) and a fit Onyekuru , and we are set for the world cup.

shogz89:
loll.. your post make me laugh,,,,, moses is playing for chelsea today not because he knows how to dribble.. were was his dribble when he was been sent on loan anyhow.. let me tell you something, its possible to dribble far more than moses and you still dont have a name sometimes we need a platform to showcase are talent which many dont have, go to the brazilian leauges and you will see wonderful players on the streets.. its not like moses is even the best dribbler in chelsea not to talk of in premier league. moses is a wonderful player, a game changer but dont overhype his skillset.

mazimee:



link me up with the link bro, I want to read more of this to serve as lubricant for my ego

Martz101:


watching a YouTube highlight video don't show true reflection of the match details

Joebie:
Why are we entertaining this? A player has a Nigerian last name. identifies with Nigeria. Chooses to play for Nigeria, has Nigerian roots and a Nigerian passport and we still call them Europeans?
Later we go open our dirty mouth dey abuse Tammy say he talk red carpet.

BascoVanVeli:


but I clearly was talking about the foul. U guys should stop acting like players must be perfect, in a game u are bound to get beat to a ball or two. If he had got a yellow it would have been a good yellow to get because it stopped a goal scoring opportunity.

daveP:



Nope.


I disagree....


Lewa couldn't pull a "Courtois" on Francis....

asha80:


the defence not the midfielders

daveP:
lol. I'm beginning to miss Taye Taiwo. That his left foot and doing something close to wingback role by joining attack and defending at the same time. I feared that his left foot then...

ChrisKels:


Even an avoidable yellow?

Ogbeni if he had done his homework, there wouldn't have been any need for the foul. Don't u get it?

darkelf:


Easy there bro...

BascoVanVeli:


This is getting comical so what was he doing at Wigan to get Chelsea's attention? All I have seen Henry do for Nigeria is a shot that was cleared off the line but on the other hand I witnessed Moses against Algeria live and there is no better dribbler in Africa if u ask me. Don't let his performance as of late for Chelsea fool you.

asha80:
ok i get what you are saying but off my head available attacking midfielders now are aluko and nwakali

Daejoyoung:

l mentioned all the players we need now in all departments. Aluko is an attacking midfielder.

joseph1013:

What would you rather they do with their European passports?

Looks like you're reading your own meaning to my otherwise positive contribution.

You're responsible for whatever racist undertone you interpret my statement.

shogz89:
i agree with you on the bold. This what the croats have to say after our win over poland

Daejoyoung:
Aluko a winger?

Joebie:
Feel free to abuse Tammy all you want as long as you accept Ekong and co fully. That's my point.

BascoVanVeli:


I am not saying for us to be silly, Shehu gave away a set piece not a direct freekick.

Daejoyoung:

l wonder what also became of Steven Sunday and Anderson Esiti.

Joebie:
Using your own logic. Since they have a European passport as well as a Nigerian passport, why do you call them Europeans? Expatiate please.

shogz89:
bros Moses is a good dribbler but to say he is better than onyekwuru in that department is a capital NO.. Onyekwuru dribbles much more than Moses.

daveP:
He seems good at that and Corner kicks. I don't care what anyone else says about this freekick idea. my own is let the best person take it to give us better results. Echiejile is also good at throwings....

Kog45:
It was obvious that without Mikel we find it hard to link midfield with attacks and only way is to find solution either with our formations or searching for one.

I remember Westerhoff made a lasting solution to his team with just a month to WC with Chidi Nwanu and Mike Emenalo inclusion and i think Rohr can do the same unless he is satisfied with the team performance without Mikel.

Now in the team we have Ndidi,Onazi,Joel,and Agbo who am still suspecting his always inclusion without kicking ball even in friendlies,calling Mikel Agu as a replacement for Mikel leave a question ?

My major question is Sone Aluko not good enough to slug it out even the young prodigy Kelechi Nwakili can be called up and let see what he can do.

Just too obvious we need good AM.
