Francis Uzoho, Super Eagles' number one goalkeeper has hit back at critics following his performance against Mozambique

Super Eagles claimed a 3-2 victory over ten-men Mozambique in Portugal in their second international friendly game.

Goals from Terem Moffi, Moses Simon and Frank Onyeka were enough to claim the victory for Nigeria.

However, despite the win, it was Francis Uzoho who made the headline with another error that led to the Super Eagles conceding.

The Omonoia FC goalkeeper has now responded to fans' criticism of his performance in Super Eagles' previous games.

Francis Uzoho’s response
Francis Uzoho was disappointed with the way fans have criticised him for his performance against Mozambique and have fired back at his critics.

Nigeria won their first international friendly match in five years after going winless in their previous fifteen matches.

Despite the Super Eagles breaking the winless run, fans were not happy with the performance of their number-one goalkeeper Uzoho.

Fans have grown irritated about the manager's decision to keep Francis Uzoho as his first choice and failed to consider alternative goalkeepers.

In the last two games, the goalkeeper made two errors that led to a goal which caused the fans to erupt in rage.

After the victory over Mozambique, the goalkeeper was enraged enough to respond with his own statement in response to the cathartic outpour.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper posted a selfie on his Snapchat account with the statement, “If easy, go do am make oyinbo man sign you.”

The goalkeeper has come under pressure from Nigerians and has responded to their criticism saying if they feel it is easy they should become a goalkeeper so they can be signed by a white man.

Having watched the likes of Peter Rufai, Ike Shorunmu, Vincent Enyeama as Super Eagles number one goalkeeper it’s clear to see how low the standards have fallen in the goalie ranks for the SE.
This Uzoho is 3rd choice for a club in Cyprus, he’s not fit to make the AFCON team. The coaches need to look for better alternatives to these crop of keepers.
Great keepers like Luis Chilavert, Jorge Campos, Oliver Khan, Andoni Zubizaretta, J. Lehman , Schmeichel, Buffon, Van Der Sar , Peter Rufai etc were match winners for their teams and commanded the 18 yrd box with authority…not these lazy bunch.

This is not a wise response from Uzoho. His performance in the 2 friendlies was actually below par.

Sitting on the bench at his club is not helping his career. I believe the best keeper in our NPFL will do better.

Stupid response. He is a professional player and a degree of professionalism is expected from him. No one will be happy is his plumber is quack.
