Why is he announcing the goalie before camp opens? Is that his job? The way these coaches are talking doesn't offer much confidence in their ability to lead , the Nija back bitting factor seems to be creeping in. If we qualify, we'll need to hire a new FC. I don't trust these rag-tag local coaches who just open their mouths gbao gbao like shakabula.

Are you sure ut was not a response to a question? I really do not see what is wrong here. Was it in doubt who the starting goalie is? In my view, this is much ado about nothing really.

What will be news and shocking at this point is to state either that Okoye will not start or that the goalkeeping position is up for grabs. That will create a firestorm of news

You might be right but when you listen to some of the rubbish Eguavoen and Egbaoje have been talking recently, I just don't trust them.

I have been miffed by some of Egu's comments as well but I think this one by Amuneke is okay. Infact, it is more about projecting team stability as journalists seek to sniff around seeking controversial openinugs.

Everyone knows Okoye is the best we've got and will definitely start.
But then I just checked the link. Nowhere did he mention that Okoye will start. It's just a click bait.

He was talking to BrilaFm and it’s on their website
https://www.brila.net/we-cant-drop-madu ... e-amuneke/

He basically said they “won’t drop Okoye because of one mistake” - which is pretty much saying he’ll start.

[1naija]

Saying anything other than that would have created more distraction. Imagine if he had said they are still evaluating the goalkeeper position....even if they actually are.

If Naija use Uzoho, Naija will qualify easily

I believe this announcement should not have been made yet.

Why ? : Our opponents can now spend a lot of time studying Okoye and probably identify some weaknesses to their advantage.

We need to qualify for World Cup.

Games are won on and off the field tactically.

Ghana know all our regular starters as we do theirs. They will be stupid not to study all of them just as we would be if we don't prepare for all of theirs. As long as they don't know our tactics ahead time.....

Even with tht , it does not mean he is saying Okoye will start. It can be interpreted to mean, the mistake is not enough to cost Okoye his shirt, as in if at all he is going to be dropped it wont be because of that mistake.

Let’s hope he doesn’t cost us this tie…at least we now know that those who matter KNOW and ADMIT he made a mistake unlike the hogwash we were being fed on CE…

I hear say he is not coming.

He is allegedly sick. I hope it is nothing serious.

Uzoho can get the job done... reclaim his shirt and keep it.

Get well soon Okoye, hopefully Uzoho and co are ready to step in and solidify their spot on the team.

If you were hearing people saying it was “not a mistake” then you must have been tuned into a spoof channel. Or just hearing without actually listening. As far as I remember, nobody suggested it was ‘deliberate’.
What WAS debated was the fact that every keeper makes MISTAKES; just that some felt he made too many and was therefore not fit for purpose. Others argued it wasn’t out of the ordinary and the boy is still good and the best we have regardless.

However, you might be referring to a different debate which you have described as ‘hogwash’.
Let us know.
