Taiwo Awoniyi with his friends in Ilorin after representing Nigeria U15 COPA Coca Cola team in summer camp in United Kingdom 2011.

I am not saying it because of the saves against Cagliari. I have seen both play for the national team and their clubs before coming to conclusion that Okoye is better than Uzoho.

Uzoho is not it at all while Okoye’s promblem from my observation is lack of confidence. I am not trying to say that Okoye is too good but IMHO he is better than Uzoho

Even in the national team colors Uzoho’s blunder is worst than that of Okoye. It’s had to see a professional goalkeeper make the type of error like Uzoho’s against the first goal conceded against the Saudi’s. His reaction and recovery when in danger is very poor

The stare Ndidi gave him after that goal says it all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

E remain small mk baba rush am blow

Oga Charles,pls don’t let us waste pages debating two keepers that have never for once impressed in national team.

Uzoho kept against Man utd,wetin come happen.Maduka had it good yesterday but hope to see him getting games.

Philosopher1979:
Uzoho is inconsistent and right now he is out of form.
He should be left put till he regains his form.
The thing with Uzoho is that at his best he is superb and makes save after save.
Also watch nigeria vs argentina 2018 world cup.
He will bounce back later but now he should be left out.

The issue here is playing week in week out.I don’t see Uzoho regaining his form warming bench…I watch Maduka yesterday and only way out for him is to getting games in seria A to boost his confidence.He had a very good game yesterday

charlesemeka85:
I have always said it that Okoye is better than Uzoho

Uzoho against Man utd👍but against Mozambique and Saudi Arabia👎na zero so left for Okoye performance against Cagliari and if possible matches to come reflects in his eagles performance.

ChrisKels:
At this stage it is no longer about who is better or who is not. We just want them to perform. That said, if you are saying this because of these saves against the world class strikers of Cagliari, what then would you say about what Uzoho faced against Manchester United?


I just hope Udinese gives Okoye a chance in the league proper and that he seizes the opportunity. It will be a big plus to have our goalkeeper starting in the serie A.

God bless you

do4luv14:
No mind dem, the guy is good, na that fine, wey em fine, and ladies gushing over am, make many no like am😁😁😁

do baba,and Nigerians hate handsome Carl Ikeme?forget oh na performance be koko

BankyGee:
Maduka Okoye 🆚 Caligari
Highest rated player of the match. Hope he gains more confidence. I know he's good. People just wan use mouth and keyboard ⌨️ finish him career.

Banky baba,nobody Dey use mouth and QWERTY to kills his career….am one of his critics based on poor performance for eagles,yesterday I followed him and gave him my MOTM.

If you comes good especially in eagles,Nigeria fans will appreciate you and other way round na wotowoto.

I’m still waiting for Maduka Okoye convincing performance in GWG.

Atarakpa:
Person dances with mama it become news on nairaland.

Just pray that if you sneezes it should become news….

Alaigbopress:
Extreme hunger doesn't respect tribe, skin colour, religion. One day the Nigeria masses who are victim of high level of corruption will rise against the political class.

Politicians should continue taking the patience of the masses for granted. That day even the security you so much rely on will fail you and you will have no where to run. Use the wealth of Nigerians for the good of all and let the masses enjoy the Country they call their own.

Tribalism will not let it happen cus you are part of tribalism here…..your comment is good if it comes with pure mind but NO it doesn’t.

Till we shuns tribalism then Nigerians will reason but I don’t see it happening cus most comments here are aided by tribalism.

Under Buhari,terrible eight years did you see northerners complaining so expect the same thing from Yoruba.I’m sure with Obi as president will you come out to write this,NO you will not,that’s the issue with us.

Nigeria is a failed nation.

Oh Udinese lost it at the end but not surprised that Maduka conceded two goals cuz he was busy for 120 minutes.

do4luv14:
Ahh

MOTM performance from Maduka Okoye….Extra time going on…I want see Okoye in penalty shootout.

17 years old Samuel Nwachuckwu in for Udinese

austineaddy:
Currently the most rated player on the field he has made 6 saves , 5 from inside the box. Man is doing good.

Yes so far he is doing well and he deserves some league matches to boost his confidence….oh Cagliari equalized

do4luv14:
Good evening Sir, how is his performance,

I can see the scoreline is still 0-0 at half time

Good performance

Hallelujah….Maduka Okoye in goal against Cagliari

youngrichnigga:
Femi Kuti's carbon copy; the Anikulapo Kuti blood is very strong o. No need for dna olorun, the wife should be careful

Na him mama he resemble

komekn:
Back to the proviso, it's your consistent, outstanding top level performances in club and league that get you selected.

The number of caps is not a unit of measurement for quality, particularly in the Nigerian context. We had a Shehu with how many caps and a finished Echiejile who went to the world cup.

Because Chukwueze has had 30 caps doesn't mean he is better than anybody else.

I remember a Sone Aluko who was a quality player that got only 7 caps over 6 years even when he was in the Premier League.

Is Tella better than Chukwueze is not proven and vice versa until he plays and or gets a run of games. Or is there room for both of them 🤔

Yes even with a match he can proved himself just like Oliseh did and recently Osayi.

humility33:
If oshimen refuse to leave Napoli or stay put in Napoli forget it. He won't be able to compete with this lads years to come.

Pls where is he competing now?sometimes we need to appreciate the club that’s giving him the platform which is Napoli…..we too Dey nag Napoli as if Dey contribute nothing to Osimhen rise.

Napoleon55:
And Bellingham if he continues to score

Bellingham continues to score?He is a man to beat this season

Icon4s:
From the recent generation:
Chidera Ejuke
Emmanuel Dennis
Kelvin Akpoguma
Mikel Agu
Henry Onyekuru
I can go on and on.

What we saw before their Super Eagles invite was far from what they delivered.

Even someone like Ademola Lookman has stilled not lived up expectations.
I don't bring in sentiments on whether foreign of local born when I assess players. Let us see what Tella can do in the Green and white jerseys, ON AFRICAN PITCHES first before you start any comparison with Chukwueze.

Well said,Chuckwueze too has not lived up to expectations with 30 caps but I will not rate Tella over or compare with 30 caps Chuckwueze…hope he comes in and prove himself.

humility33:
Bro Uzoho matter don tire me

Pasiero is just a stiffneck coach that doesn't want to do the right thing. That guy doesn't deserve a call up. A goal keeper playing weekly in the NPFL is better than a goal keeper sitting in the bench in Europe.

Cyprus well Europe.I thought Uzoho by now would be a force to reckon with but damn glaring he was not a real deal,imagine a 2018 World Cup with basic errors.

Jostoman:
The final results of this fight can be compare to final result of nigeria presidential election. Mr francis won but they dont want the belt to ........ For just the way peter obi won nigeria election but those powerful people most especially from the north dont want the power to go to Southeast and this are some of the injustice that Nnamdi kanu and Simon Ekpa are fighting against.

Lets speak the truth and Let the truth to ourselves in this country called nigeria.

Oya speak the truth who won Nigeria presidential election

Wike betrayed Ameachi and Fubara will do the same thing,a very sound warning to Yahaya Bello.

UdyOgwoUde:
Obviously, they are kidnapped victims probably killed for not paying ransoms. When Gov. Otti temporarily shut the market down, haters said it’s an attack against the Hausas, now the governor have been vindicated.

When Sanwo olu closed Alaba market it was hatred against Igbo to some people and when Otti shut down the market to some it was attack on Hausa….me I don tire for una tribalism here.

Arrest her husband or boyfriend. The rise of killings by partners is on the rise now.

Kwara State?pls tell me what is happening in the state.

Joebie:
which of the sports dailies was best at covering the domestic league?

I gave it to Complete sports.

Nomyth:
Not true.

Complete football started in 1985.

They are the pioneer sports magazine in Nigeria.

Correct…Chief Sunny Ojeagbase did a lot for Nigeria football through complete football magazine .It was a good initiatives then and do ask his son Julius who is a friend why not take complete sports to another level just like kickers

do4luv14:
Not then, it was kickoff and it's after every quarter ( I stand to be corrected )

that complete football magazine debutted around the early 2000s

No o,complete football magazine don Dey tey tey…my brother was a complete sports north central correspondent.I remember they also published success digest paper

Nomyth:

Hope Sun drying will help.

Old boy you try o

ChrisKels:
I don't think Kickoff ever had a magazine. It was CompleteSports that had magazine. Kickoff was owned by South Africans. Icon4s, Forgiveness and one other person in this thread was there then. I flexed that site tire with Nokia C300 and Symbian phone.

Kickoff magazine I bought the magazine plenty
