somehow: ![]() ![]() ![]() The Kain BP wey these ones go give you eh. First know say u no go play for U17 and U20 WCs. U go dey collect like 5,6,7 zero from our Super Falcons and our female youth teams ![]() These three teams are so epileptic that they may not even qualify for the next WC. Oga, overall Nigeria is still more reliable than most (if not all) Super powers in Africa. |

safarigirl: Lol stats and performance for the SE? You mean the 45mins in a friendly match? How many saves? Help us with the stats You obviously can't point to any stats out there. For Akpeyi to come back to bench both Ezenwa and Okoye says alot about the so called "better " No sentiment here! |

somehow: Yes it is not all about who is better or not but for the fact that He has been at the Super Eagles before ABUBAKAR should he eventually get called up after NIGERIA might have put up a superlative performance in Tokyo 2020 Olympics paradventure NIGERIA qualify later on this month. Alampasu, Udoh and co are lesser grade goalkeeping discoveries that couldn't make the cut in their chosen domain yet relative to ABUBAKAR now in U 23 We should also remember that DOSU JOSEPH would have automatically become Eagles number 1 except for his Car accident that proved otherwise. So ABUBAKAR putting up an outstanding display at the OLYMPICS (Should we qualify) would push him straight into the Eagles set up definitely. cc Safarigirl 2 Likes |

somehow: The 45 minutes is it not one cap? Does Akpeyi not have more caps than Ezenwa? Why can't he, by virtue of being senior to Ezenwa and Okoye, bench them both? You are even proving my point and you think your question is valid. I don't even know why Kbs468 bothered to answer you. Pending when Abubakar gets his own 45 minutes, Okoye will be ahead of him in the Super Eagles. |

somehow:Well, No doubt about it that Akpeyi is the most in form at present, Hence the invitational extention. Besides, I personally is never comfortable with Ezenwa between the sticks for NIGERIA anytime anyday and OKOYE not yet fully tested at the SE level, I think it not wise to take any risk on a rookie for such an important match like the AFCON QUALIFIERS certainly. Save for UZOHO though |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by somehow: 12:51pm On Nov 13, 2019 |
safarigirl: He answered because he's matured and understands the question perfectly. Akpeyi is said to be bad for the eagles by alot of people on this thread and most don't want him in the SE again. Alot also claim the league is not good enough to produce any good GK and that Ezenwa was the face of the NPFL. Now the same "bad " Akpeyi is coming back to bench those he left behind plus his replacement, does that not ring a ball if you try to be objective in this matter? 1 Like 1 Share |

somehow:I want to definitely disagree with you on this that Akpeyi had a good outing in Egypt ooo. The reason we failed to make the finals was because of Akpeyi as we would have Won the tournament without any defeat actually and I always wondered why UZOHO wasn't used for the AFCON absolutely. 1 Like |

somehow: He gave the same answer I did. When Uzoho comes back, he will send Akpeyi back into exile. All these ones you're saying is just English. Pray Akpeyi does not do what Akpeyi does in Nigeria. Your question was unnecessary, because the opinion was for a future time, using the present to gauge. It is from a place of malice, something rabblerousers are adept at |

witorwitoutyou: The pitch seems to be in a near perfect condition. And I can't wait to see again the time when the fingers in one hand were hardly enough to count the number of goals SE scored at that hallowed surulere stadium. Burkina Faso! ![]() ![]() Setting: 1991, AFCON 1992 qualifications match. Match ended 7-1 with 4 goals from the goalsfather Yekini. Elders in the house please confirm: Was this not the match SE played the first half in track suits trousers cut to shorts size because some one forgot SE kits in the hotel? The match kick-off was delayed for near 30 minutes. |

Kbs468: Uzoho was abandoned on the altar of AFCON experience, and club stats (which have proven to be quite unreliable in the national team) Anybody that says Akpeyi had a good AFCON, is speaking out of ignorance. Akpeyi was bailed out by a solid defence 1 Like |

Kbs468: Uzoho ppassed through testing before getting to the SE, same can't be said of Okoye. Okoye should be in Egypt being tested yet got a straight pass to the SE not because of past performance for both country and club. Makes no objective sense. He should be in Egypt getting tested with the U23 Ezenwa inclusion in the SE remains the 8th wonders of the world. Fine he did well during the early days but have not improved since then because he's not playing club football and never been one of the best 10 in the league. We have had numerous opportunities to test new hands but inviting these ones keep blocking way for new discovery. We have other names that are in higher leagues too performing better. 2 gks you can't trust in a competitive game is a no no for me. so far so good in 2 matches, Abubakar has done well, currently being tested and he is from the NPFL..This is what Okoye should be doing if we are to entrust our SE goalpost to him. |

Kbs468: Very simple way to go about it How many games did Akpeyi play How many goals scored how many saves par the Mahrez freekick which would not have even entered if a careless foul was not committed, how many goal bound error did he commit? I don't discard people based on sentiments, rather on their dos and not. You can't use that positioning error to cancel other performance in the same tournament. Not done that way. Uzoho played 3rd match Also played in the worldcup as 1st choice Ezenwa conceded 2 goals in the 3rd group match All 3 GKs played in AFCON Par the error, Akpeyi performed in every other game at the AFCON. Uzoho did well in the 3rd placed match |

somehow: What actually did it for OKOYE is the dart of good Goalkeepers over the years for NIGERIA since the retirement of Ike Shorunmu and the subsequent phasing out of ENYAMA VINCENT. So, With him promising, there was the need to cap him immediately as the SE is the only level that can cage him for NIGERIA for life going by the fact that both Akpeyi and Ezenwa are already over 30 while being average always |

somehow:has Abubakar done well in two matches for Super Eagles? You have condemned Okoye for whatever reason and you are calling yourself objective. How many goals did Brazil score in the 45 minutes Okoye was at the post? Some people will never like certain players for one reason or the other, and that's fine, just talk it with your chest and stop hiding behind a false sense of objectivity to discredit him. |

Exclusive – Super Eagles Lineup Against Benin Republic, Osimhen, Kalu, Chukwueze Lead Attack The coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has revealed the starting lineup for the Super Eagles of Nigeria for their game against Benin Republic later today in the race to be at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. Rohr has decided to stick with almost same set of players he used to prosecute the last two friendly games against Ukraine and Brazil respectively. Both games ended in a draw with the Eagles throwing a two goal lead to draw 2-2 against Ukraine and also losing their lead in the 1-1 draw against Brazil. Despite the results, Rohr saw enough in the game and has decided to stick with the players who prosecuted both games but he made some changes particularly in his defence where Ola Aina comes in at right back in place of Chidozie Awaziem who played the role against Brazil. In goal as widely expected Daniel Akpeyi starts in the absence of Francis Uzoho with the duo of Maduka Okoye and Ikechukwu Ezenwa as back up goalkeepers. The central defence partnership of Semi Ajayi and William Troost-Ekong was maintained by the coach despite the return of Kenneth Omeruo. Jamilu Collins retains his spot as left full back while the midfield is the same as the one that prosecuted the last game against Brazil meaning the trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Joe Aribo and Alex Iwobi will play in the middle. Ndidi will play as the defensive midfielder while Aribo will operate as the central midfielder with Iwobi positioned behind the main striker which is Victor Osimhen. Osimhen is flanked by Samuel Chukwueze and Samuel Kalu. Chukwueze will play from the right while Kalu will operate fromthe left like he did to devastating effect against Ukraine. Rohr maintained the trio in attack despite the return of captain of the team Ahmed Musa. Lineup Daniel Akpeyi Ola Aina Jamilu Collins William Troost-Ekong Semi Ajayi Wilfred Ndidi Joe Aribo Alex Iwobi Samuel Chukwueze Samuel Kalu Victor Osimhen 2 Likes |
