Chukwueze v Okoye

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Okoye was superb against AC Milan.

Our true #1

Been saying it for months. It's coaching malpractice to start any other goalie over Okoye.

No way I would bench Nwabali for Okoye.

-Nwabali has been playing superbly for the eagles
-Okoye abandoned us when we had no clear option to take his place because of rumored online fan bullying
-So we should now swap out the guy that has been doing great to put back in the guy that can't take an online insult?

I don't ever remember having a real competition for Super Eagles starter between 2 solid goalkeepers, so I'll enjoy this. But bench Nwabali? FA FA FA FOWL

Okoye’s issue is not about talent but the mental strength to play in a critical position for the SE.
Nwabali has proven that he has both qualities and the position is his to lose. He has kept 3 clean sheets in his last 3 matches, how do you drop him?
Where they both play is irrelevant at this point. The competition is good for the SE

Yes it does matter! It matters a great deal to every respectable national and club team in the world but you’re free to have your own standard. There’s not a Top 50 national team or Top 50 Club that will bench a Top 10 Serie A goalie and one of the best performing goalies in the Top 5 leagues over a goalie playing in SA for mental strength . It’s not even about Nwabali not being a quality goalie, it’s about standards. It applies in every position on the field except for the players enjoy special treatment.

We need to stop the constant moving of goal posts, mago mago and preferential treatment of players if we’re going to make progress. Nwabali surely is a good goalie and belongs in the team but he’s not the best Nigerian goalies available!

3 national team coaches, Peseiro, Finidi and Eguavoen disagree with you!
I would normally agree with you on the strength of the league but in this instance, I will make an exception

Okoye was not available for Afcon. Finidi and Eguaveon serious considerations.
