Rohr: Akpeyi, Afelokhai to share Super Eagles goalkeeping duties against Uganda Gernot Rohr has revealed that goalkeepers Daniel Akpeyi and Theophilus Afelokhai will share the goalkeeping duties against Uganda today in Asaba. South Africa-based Akpeyi will start in goal this afternoon, before Enyimba shot stopper Afelokhai takes over for the second half. It will therefore be a litmus test for the two goalkeepers as they aim to stake their claim in the Super Eagles squad. It is a chance for the goalkeepers to justify their call-ups and possibly challenge for the No 1 shirt currently held by Francis Uzoho with Ikechukwu Ezenwa as deputy. Interestingly, Akpeyi and Afelokhai were the two goalkeepers in 2015 against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa with Akpeyi manning the post. Rohr also said Villarreal youngster Samuel Chukwueze will make his debut and Victor Osimhen will also feature after his recent goals for Belgian club Sporting Charleroi. **By Kola Daniel in Asaba Source: ScoreNigeria 1 Like |

Ohhh nooo not even implying that... But being a founding member and major contributor who follows the events of this thread gives me enough nous to know that you are not versed about most events that take place on this thread. And also Komekn deserved whatever he got because he is a snake and a bonafide hater of anything Home-grown Naija talent. Icon4s knows this... TheGoodJoe knows this... So many elders here know this and some have Even engaged him before about it but he persists in it. Even when Wayodude answered his ridiculing question on Chukwueze with a Spanish football expert's view, what did Komekn do? He started saying that Wayodude doesn't have his own opinion. I am pretty sure if the Wayodude fella (sorry for the few mentions man) had given just his own opinion, the tune of Komekn will be that he is no expert and thus he cannot just take his words for it but needs the views of top rated bodies or journals. Wayo gave him that but he evaded it so mischievously. Utonwanne: 2 Likes 1 Share |

TheGoodJoe: I chose to ignore. Same way you have been silent on Nig vs Lib games, where we played a blend of good football on both legs. We played against Libya on the 13th and 16th of Oct. Attached below is a screenshot of your activity during that period. You said zilch. Only to come out voicing 'anti-football' after we have successfully secured qualification against SA Be fair. 1 Like

Mickael2: Opinion in football are time limited, with time they go up or down. Are proven and unproven nothing remains the same. Absolutely correct, l am not one to jump on the first few games a player has made and shout Messi is born. SPECAIL HUGE TALENT has arrived. No my view is to watch, wait and see some consistent MOTM performances, some Wow moments. Over the course of the season. However if you keep scoring in consecutive games then your rapidly becoming amazing. We had similar fireworks when l said Nwakali is not Outstanding Talent I notice my detractors have gone quite for now. Not too long ago I termed Isaac Success "Wasteman" his disciplinary record was deplorable, totally unfocused he even put on weight. But like I said time changes everything either for good or bad. Well this season he has woken up. But he has a long way to go, his goal record totally abysmal. Is he Wasteman, at this point in time not anymore. But is he now DD Drogba not at all. I presume you are talking about Ryan Ssegnon. I watched him live for the first time when he was 16 playing for Fulham against Blackburn. I thought he was good but not outstanding. But then he was 16 playing regular first team football, that's quite remarkable I thought. I then called my friend head of recruitment at Fulham and joked I bet you'll want £10 million for this kid as a joke. Well he said No, that's too cheap we want £25 million. By the end of the season this teenager was putting in continous top level performances. I watched him score two goals against Newcastle. That summer Liverpool bid £30 million. Now for a teenager that's outstanding talent proven and now tested. But that's over two consistent seasons. What's shocking He is now still only 18 and has played near 100 professional first team games. That's OUTSTANDING in my opinion. I do think he is struggling a bit now, but that may be reflection of his team thay have been quite poor almost permanent in the relegation Zone. Maybe this new manager might save thier season. So what we have essentially is different STANDARDS for what we consider TOP OUTSTANDING TALENT. My view is its almost near impossible to be outstanding huge talent from two games in La Liga. I said near impossible, I think Rooney as a 17 year old is one of the few exceptions. I remember Yobo telling me about this small boy giving them big wahala in training. That l should watch out. But then history has proven him right. The final word, would you then feel you can make comparison with Ssegnon and Chukwueze. One who has barely stated the race and one who has already gone round the track a few times and won. I still haven't given a view on Chukwueze it's too early in the day IMO. Very Good player with lots of Promise is my actual view of him for now. 1 Like |

AllforJesus7: I am critiquing the way we handled the South African game. If we play in a braver fashion which I know we are capable of doing, I will not hesitate to praise Rohr and his crew. I want to see the team play better and see out games in a more exciting fashion. Not critique for criticising sake. Gerrit? |

wayodude: Taking matters into strict context, you gave an opinion your own I presumed. I then asked you Why ❓ Maybe we have different approaches. I asked you you the simple Why . Expecting you to present details, facts, games played, goals scored, assists, Wow moments, dribbles completed, how you see things that's your view, and why, etc,etc And you replied with another man's opinion. Maybe that expectation was too much on my part, I apologise it seems I expected too much. 1 Like |

Exactement! Nothing to add. And now he is trying to save face again by justifying his evasive technique when the message of his ridicule have since been established and seen by all. He now wants to sound saintly. Kaaaiiii... I have seen men like this. Doing all they can and trying too hard to sound gentlemanly but their dirty inner intentions keep giving them away. SMH... It is sad oooo. Very sad. Let's just move on. Another time will come when Komekn will again shoot himself in the foot as usual concerning another or maybe same Indigenous Naija born talent. He never fails to do so. It is only a matter of time again. wayodude: 1 Like |

But the wayo fella indeed agrees that Komekn was being mishievous. You can look up and see just in case you are lost again. Not everyone want to take the bold part like Jesus did in calling a bunch of pretending gentlemen-like pharisees brood of Vipers naa. Me, I just said it as it is. Finito. And I don't prefer the home-grown over the foreign borns... That is a nonsense deduction to make. See what I have been saying? You really are lost on this thread. Na wa... Are you even reading at all? I am for the best talents that will take our Super Eagles forward be you Foreign born, Home-grown or from Mars... Everyone here knows that.
