Yes even at the WC, Okoye is overrated. Time to slot in 45-year-old Uzoho.

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.
EII,

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❗️


Cheers.

The bold said it all. But how can one misjudge a ball that served in mid-air. For me the fact that he still hot his fingers on to the ball says a lot about his capability.

He remains my #1.

And instead of blaming him, questions should be asked of the 2 CDs plus Aribo and Ndidi who gave the Tunisian all the space he needed to shoot.

No blame on Okoye. The Tunisian guy had ALL the time in the world to hit that shot with zero pressure from Nigeria.

He should have done better and he did try to push the ball over the bar. The ball swerved at the last minute and he wasn’t expecting the swerve. But he is a professional and should have position himself better.

Also, our closing down was poor. The defenders could have done better.

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.
A balanced view and well said. And agree with there not being an undisputed No.1 at the moment considering most of them at par. They should be played according to their strengths and opponents being faced and their known qualities.

The issue I have with some people on the forum regards Okoye (not observed on this thread though) is they aren’t even coming from a performance perspective but an issue of that he/they are “Oyinbo boys”. That’s poor.

Okoye is simply not yet international class but to be clear none of our goalkeepers is. But that shot would and has been routinely handled by several goalkeepers and in this AFCON. No sugar coating changes that. Okoye did poorly there. He had his hand on it but it still went in. Some keepers have saved shots that had from closer spots.

True word. We all miss him. Hopefully, okoye can get better. He has the height and he is a modern keeper who can play infield but he just has to be better. The goal he conceded yesterday was just awful and I wonder if he concentrated but this is just speculation at this point.

He was NEVER good enough.

And yes, when we questioned him they accused us of being haters.

I have written here if there are any shots that he stops as it appears any decent shot on goal ends up being a goal.

He is NOT a shot-stopper.

But I hope he continues to grow... but he shouldn't be our starter for now.

Enyeama was a generational talent. It might be decades before you get another like him. For now yall are stuck with Okoye. I see some of you mentioning Akpeyi and Ezenwa, please these guys are not better than Okoye. We will just have to do with either him or Uzoho.
