MY TAKEAWAY FROM ALGERIA/SUPER EAGLES GAME


OWOLABI ALESH
Ezenwa's performance in the game showed that Super Eagles goalkeeping department is in work in progress and that department need to urgent attention of the gaffer and his assistance.

It's high time we drop this emotional sentiment to this area, am sure those that are part of the qualifiers have been rewarded by given great opportunity to showcase their talent to world and were able to boost their CV playing for giant of African Football.

Ezenwa made a lot of schoolboy errors in yesterday game, but truth be told, it has always been like that for him whenever he man the poll for our darling Super Eagles, but the Algerian game really exposed him in terms of aerial ball approach.

My candid opinion is, the gaffer and his team should look inward and give opportunity to other goalkeepers in the league.

The likes of Dele Ajiboye,  OJO Olorunleke, Suraj Ayelosu should be given chance to showcase their talent in friendly games not only inviting them to camp and Daniel Akpeyi also should be given second chance.

Positive.

Ola Aina is a good replacement to Elderson Echiejile, the young lady really showed class I yesterday game. He supports the attack when necessary and even initiate it in some cases while the most improve Super Eagles player Abdullahi Shehu continue to show class as right fullback. Both Shehu and Aina were decent in the game and need to be encouraged.

John Ogu performance showed why some section of the media and Nigerians believe the midfielder deserve to be starting ahead other midfielder in that position for Super Eagles. The Hapoel Be'er Shava midfielder combination with Etebo is superb, no single faulty pass and he crowned his performance with television like goal, curling the ball from outside the box to put Super Eagles ahead before Rahimi equalised via spot kick.
