I hope the boy has the strength to recover from his blunder . It was a tough day in the office but he wasn't the main reason we lost. Still, he's our number 1.

Sorry Kongi he IS NOT our #1

I dont even think he is our #3

He is a basket goal keepr. He's been hiding for a while, but it is now apparent and it looks like even opposing teams have scouted his weaknesses.

For too many games he just cannot stop routine shots. We've made too many exuses but it is glaring to me that Uzoho must take over at this point. Guy just is jittery as hell and lacks confidence.

ENOUGH.

He always appeared suspect to me, but who am I?
Rohr picked him and the interim coach did the same.

Weren’t you one of those who berated me when I pointed out a long time ago that Ezenwa did a better than decent job during the qualifiers leading upto the World Cup and as such, he shouldn’t have been replaced by a pair of novices❓❗️


Cheers.

Well, you see, you guys are part of the problem with your infatuation with everything foreign. I don’t recall that Ezenwa conceded any outrageous goals in the manner these two youngsters have. Uzoho, in particular, conceded a ton of goals in the friendlies leading upto the 2018 World Cup yet most here on CE, for whatever reason, claimed he is better than the guy who got us through the qualifiers without any major incidents. I didn’t see Uzoho’s superiority to Ezenwa then and I still don’t see it now. As for Okoye, well, the less said, the better❗️


Cheers.

I have a feeling that Uzoho would have kept that ball out. I see him (Okoye), as afraid to "hit" the ground to keep the ball. He does not like to hit the ground but instead would glide. Hitting the ground gives a goalkeeper the fastest way to keep the ball out. The ball he palmed away with one hand would have been better palmed away with both hands in a diving form.
He got the message in his second goal he kept off the shot.

It is a learning experience for the young man. I hope he gets over this loss soon because there is more work to do for the Eagles.

The second shot was in the air not on the ground, his issue seems to be with low ground shots..

yup. He is good in the air. When it comes to hitting the turf, he is horrible.

He shouldnt have.been thrusted in as the number 1 goalkeeper at this time. He is not ready for that. Some of us noticed this as far back as the 4 - 4 Seirra Leone game and mentioned it, but was labeled hater. Akpeyi, as much as many hate him for no reason, is a better keeper FOR NIGERIA at this time.

Igugu,

Uzoho is not that much better than Okoye. The fact is that the goalkeepers we have as our national team goalies have been piss poor for a while and this had been stated over and over. Uzoho is not that good. He is just as average as Okoye. These guys are far from the days of Enyeama. That is the bottomline.

How do you know Uzoho better than Okoye? Has he been given a run of games like Okoye has? Look we have better GKs out these but our useless GK coach Alloy Agu refuses to call them up. Adeleye is there but has not been given a chance.

Technically he was the main reason given it was a 1 goal loss and he couldn't keep out a shot that the majority of quality goalkeepers would be able to parry. It wasn't a shot that went to the upper 90 or somewhere up there. He has a problem with daisy cutters and shots that are just low overall.
Bless his heart but he needs to do better. Hopefully he will be even better after this especially when he moves to Watford.

It's still not as bad as the goal Ter Stegen gifted the USA team early in his international career. Such an atrocious "Taibbi" goal and Ter Stegen came back from that to be one of the best in the world. I hope for the same rise to greatness for Okoye.

Need a lot more competition amongst the goalkeepers. I dont think there is or should be a clear #1 right now.

Exactly. people were so quick to "anoint" him as #1 without proper competition. Always inviting the same 2 GKs. then rubbish Akpeyi.

I disagree with you somewhat. Ikeme was pretty good and Ezenwa was decent but things went to hell in a hand basket with the arrival of Uzoho and stayed bad with Okoye❗️

He misjudged the shot. It swerved to his left and caught him leaning the wrong way. He shouldn’t have been beaten from that distance.
