AFCON: Ex-Super Eagles coach Rohr picks better goalkeeper between Nwabali, Uzoho

Former Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has picked the better goalkeepers, Francis Uzoho and Stanley Nwabali, amid the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Cote d’Ivoire.

Uzoho was Nigeria’s number-one goalkeeper until the eve of the 2023 AFCON when coach Jose Peseiro handed a surprise call-up to Nwabali.

Nwabali has been in goal for each of Nigeria’s three group matches against Equatorial Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau at the AFCON.


The 27-year-old conceded one goal and has kept two clean sheets, while Uzoho is yet to play for Nigeria at the tournament.

Speaking in a conversation with Osasu Obayiuwana, Rohr said Nwabali is better than Uzoho, adding that the South Africa-based keeper is calm.

“I have to say that Nwabali Bobo is better than Francis Uzoho,” Rohr said.

“He is calm and has very good control of his area.”

Nwabali, meanwhile, is likely to remain between the goalposts for Nigeria when they take on Cameroon in the AFCON round of 16 on Saturday

before nkọ

Nwabali is doing well. However, he will be tested when we meet a serious team.

Equatorial Guinea played Nigeria out of fear.
If they meet Nigeria again, Emilio Nsue will rubbish the Super Eagles.

But You failed to use Him

No need for that comparison in the first place. Even Onana is better than Uzoho.

Wabali, Nwabali.... Ikwerre people won't let us rest.... The man wrote his name as Nwabali. Ikwerre people go want on their own change'm to wabali. Because he's from Rivers. Anyway... This guy is better than Uzoho nah. Ikwerre should be working at any trailer park and not with the super eagles

U know before u still they call him

I agree. However, he is yet to be properly tested. Let's see how he does against Cameroon.

No one is better. People feel relaxed when they have gotten what they want. Onana in inter was selling himself until he got what he wanted

Re
So he knows this and he keeps mounting Uzoho on our goal post.
Incompetent coach

Was he gud than Pita Rufai

Uzoho and Onana i don't know who is better.

USA

Rohr was even better than that white vegetable currently now

what the hell is he still doing there he should be sent back home, he's not needed there abeg, nwabali is coordinating his back more proper than that basket of uzoho

Yeah. Uzoho is too jittery.

Uzoho has no business being in the Eagles camp at all. The guy is a second choice goal keeper for Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus. He hardly plays. A goalkeeper with no game time in his club should never be called. Nwabali is the number one choice goal keeper for Chippa United in South Africa. No be everybody wey dey Europe sabi play ball

And help the bench to carry their jerseys and water bottle

Uzoho conceder of freekicks and shots.

abeg make una stop all this jor, the game is played by 11 vs 11, no good team will meet Nigeria, no mata how fast and accurate they are playing, the super eagles will make them play to their tune, they will slow them down, u guys should watch out

Both of them are still not good enough. That's the fact.

..gone are those days when we have Ejide, Enyeama, Ayenigba and Rotimi in the eagles, all at the same time. vanzekin was at under17 too. Goalkeeping in the senior national team at that time was so competitive that Berti vogts even chose Ejide as our number 1 ahead of Enyeama.

How far maduka okoye?

Rohr probably wld ve left uzoho there

Okay

You dz coach with face like shit, don't distract us. See him like Poseiro upgrade.
