Super Eagles goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho’s errors since the 2018 World Cup have become unacceptable, according to Nigeria’s ex-international, Emma Okocha.
Uzoho has been the team’s number one goal-tender just before the World Cup but made a mistake in the side’s 3-1 win over Seychelles in a 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier. Speaking about the Eagles goalkeeping department, Okocha called on the side’s handlers to find better alternatives.
“The current crop of goalkeepers do not compare to the likes of Emmanuel Okala, Peter Rufai, Best Ogedegbe, Peter Fregene and Vincent Enyeama who were our match winners during their days,” Okocha.
“These are good goalkeepers that you can always count on to save matches for us. Even when an opponent has beaten everyone, he finds it hard to get past the goalie.
“That has been the tradition of our goalkeeping if you go down memory lane. Nowadays, it seems everything has changed.
“Uzoho’s errors since the last World Cup are simply becoming unacceptable.”
