Make we talk true... our coaching crew no try at all. Three goalkeepers were invited for two FRIENDLY matches, it doesn't make sense to just play only one throughout when the so called friendlies is to assess players. Our in-house journalist here was claiming they are helping Okoye to build confidence. Is he the only keeper that needs to build confidence ni? This is a case of bias but but Some people refused to see this.
Some of you questioning Alampasu'call up should remember that he,Okoye was not particularly doing well in the German 4th tier. In fact, some people here said he got the call up because he usually comment and like NFF posts.
A player can struggle in their early career but that doesn't mean they are bad. Make una free Dele abeg. What the coach did is absolutely bad.
Now the question is ability wise, is Okoye better than Dele?

Guess this was how Siasia felt for Aiyenugba when he decided to use him for a very important match, the rest they say is history.

Stop fooling yourself. Siasia and the clueless NFF didn't know a win was enough to qualify us for the AFCON hence directed all the players to search for the 3rd goal exposing the goalkeeper to Guinea counter attacks that finally led to an equaliser.

I repeat. Stop fooling yourself.

You guys need to understand that before the games Rohr wasn't interested in making the other 2 guys part of the team, the only reason he called them was because he had to call 3 GK

Watch as Nigerians will tell you he's better. Although Dele has not been featured as much. Besides Dele wasn't the only one. There's Yakubu. I kind of feel we should tlak about Yakubu too. We Nigerians are mostly narrow-minded. For someone to come out and say, they are helpinh him build confidence. Na only him follow come? Na only him need confidence building? I am not quite surprised though, these people don dey talk up the Maduka guy even before invitation, even while competing in a 4th-tier league. cheesy. Ofcourse they will keep shifting the goal post. cheesy. Now the argument don turn to Maduka dey play for Eredivisie, Dele dey for Latvia. Backwater lrague. cheesy. Meanwhile na bench Maduka dey warm ooo. His decent showing may help him get some playing time in cup games now. We could say the same for Dele and Yakubu. If they get to feature for Nigeria, better teams may start looking at them. Playing ofr hte national team gives you exposure.

Please stop trying to be clever by half. Alampasu hasn't made much progress and i'm saying he has to improve that playing in LATVIA! is not it. Yes weak league is a relevant point that's why we don't call players plying their trade in Malta or India.

Enyeama was already an established SE player when he moved to Israel can you say the same for Alampasu? Enyeama soon after moved to France can you say the same for Alampasu who moved from Portugal to LATVIA? 6-7 years in Europe and you still want us to pamper him like he's some academy player? Maduka that was playing in the German 4th tier has he not made progress moving to the Dutch League?

Me too i'm done arguing with you. if you like go and join protesters and lekki toll if it still pains you that much.

benji93:
What a bunch of crap. I brought up Enyeama cos you kept mentioning "weak league", "weak league", not with respect to pedigree.It's to tell you that moving to better leagues has not easy for Nigeiran goalkeepers, no matter how good they were. If you didn't notice that, i would rather not continue this back and forth with you on this very subject. Besides, Yakubu competes in the Slovakian league as the first choice goal keeper. Is the Slovakian league any better than the Isrteali league? cheesy

STFU stop acting like an ignorant
Maduka started from Bayern levekursen youth team then he moved to fortuna ....I guess you don't how fortuna team is. it like the everton or Leicester city of England...he can't break into the team like that he played with their reserve team mainly for the youth players in that same late 2017 .through out 2018 he was their first choice till 2020 thats he left for Sparta it took okoye 3 years to go into eredivise league.Alampasu has been wandering around since U-17 days when his mate (osihmen,chuks,Ndidi,awaziem) are already in top flight he can't even nail a spot in Feirense mind you he has an individual honor ( golden glove ),with this he already have a good credentials, even uzoho thats was on bench for him is playing with the best team in Cyprus which is ranked 16 according to UEFA league rating while alampasu can't even boast of a Shirt In ventspils he only play Cup games and europa qualifiers it took okoye 3 years to be in playing in Europe top flight team in a league ranked 10 according to UEFA LEAGUE RATING while okoye can't nail a spot in a small team in Europe and a league ranked 36 the quality is different

Throughout 2018 with10 games out of 26 games? Why do you like to lie to yourself like this, huh?

Okoye was not the first choice throughout 2018 going by these stats. Stop lying.

Okoye played a total of 32 matches out of 67 games from 2018 to 2020. Never consistent you bloody liar.

Okoye is yet to play a single match in top flight football. Whereas, Alampasu has already done that in Portuguese first division and in Europa League. Stop lying you.

yes we all agreed that Dele should have played i have no qualms with that line of argument but making it looking as if we have been deliberately ignoring a Buffon incarnate is a bit of a stretch.

For instance look at previous call ups like Nwaekeme, Otabor and Nwakali brothers. exceptfor Nwaekeme have the others done anything in club football? you think i can't use the same energy and logic to argue for them like dele?

Oga if u want history lesson then ask grin

We had 3 different coaches during that AFCON run and all Siasia did was bring sanity back to the national team. I think those were the only games Ighalo started in those qualifiers. The only chance he had was stolen from him by ViMo anyways so I don't know what misses u are talking about cos if he did people would still be talking about it.

Ighalo only started missing after he lost his dad and we all know the death threats that followed so don't give me that nonsense of Ighalo having it somehow easy. Man has been hated since day one.


Look at someone who wants to give me a history lesson. He can't remember anything about Ighalo's horror show in the SE at that time, but he has made excuse for him already.

Of all the games he started how many goals did he score? Ok, aside the ones he scored against Chad, if he was prolific who would have sat him on the bench?

After misfiring in 2 legs against Egypt during Sia1's time, He did same against Tanzania, Rohr then rightly sent him out of the team, too bad our other strikers didn't step in to do better, then he was recalled for the Cameroonian game where he reclaimed his spot, from then on till the conclusion of the World Cup, he scored zero goals, zilch!!! This is a player y'all are touting to be a savior of some sort?

In all honesty,Rohr goofed big time by not giving Alampasu and Yakubu game time...
I don't care if they play in Georgia... Okoye isn't first choice..be isn't a regular at his club either .he just came back from playing in the German 4th tier..

Like I said before,I don't see what purpose the friendlies served at the end... No improvement in our pattern of play and the same nonsense of using makeshift players...

Maduka did well in his 2 games, but rohr should have given yakubu abi na alampasu game time against tunisia, yes maduka is ahead of them but he should have let us see what they can do and to make it worst i just found out that alampasu and yakubu have played for their club this season

Okoye is yet to feature for even a cup match for Sparta, a team that's currently in the relegation zone. Kontinue. cheesy grin. Uzoho wasn't on the bench for him. I probably agree with the choice of not calling him. The guy just recovered from injury. But then if you decide not to invite him and then refuse to play some of the goalkeepers you invited, then there's a problem. Do not tell me Maduka is better than Uzoho, cos then i would have to refer you to Yaba. cheesy. This guy be careful. You are mentioning individual honor, you mean at the under 17. How does that play into the current status of the player. Meanwhile we all know our goalkeepers have not been fortunate enough to play in first rate leagues. Enyeama was so good, but he never got to be first choice for lille until late in his career. Be careful. Are you seriously arguing for the 4th-tier of German football?
