The only reason why Maduka would remain our No 1 is just because he plays in a more competitive league.

Uzoho has more commanding presence in the box, he's also a better ball player.

nairalandankrah:
Between Ebuehi and Aina/ who'll pep guardiola pick?

JayromWrites:
None

Because they are not playing for his team

Gerrit?

See ehen. One would think the played the entire match. Chukwueze that didn't play well nko?

benji93:
Ofcourse he can pass, to the nearest person 10 yards away.

andrewbaba44:
Agreed

Chukwueze played nonsense

Chuks doesn’t look like he he improving

But I still Dey observe

mowah:
Lol, he still has that NPFL dribble and waste it mentality but Samuel is beast when he plays well, you can’t take that away from him.

andrewbaba44:
He plays in a more competitive no doubt

But say the truth

The only reason Maduka will remain our first choice is because he is oyinbo

Bad

Very bumpy

We are in 2021 and a while country like Nigeria can't give it's national team a good pitch. Which should be an easy thing to do.

It seems those idiots at the NFF underated the effects of a good pitch in a team's football. There are some movements in the final third that the boys was trying to do today but bumpy pitches is just redirecting the ball anyhow

safarigirl:
So, we had Okoye man the post against Benin, and Uzoho man the post against Lesotho, with both goalies keeping clean sheets.

First of all, I am glad we have risen from the ashes of Akpeyi and Ezenwa, but I would genuinely like to know what you guys think of both players and the possibility of rotation between them.

Bear in mind, when I say 'rotation', I don't mean the way Enyeama and Ejide were rotated, but something with a little more equity. I genuinely feel like Ejide was shortchanged a lot in the team, because of Enyeama's brilliance, so, while I acknowledge how much of a legend Vincent is, I do feel a bit for Ejide.

So guys, what's your take on the Maduka-Uzoho GK rotation? If you can include their performances in the last two games in your analysis, factor their strengths and weaknesses, it would also be appreciated.

Subzero047:
Our striker position is secure for the next 10 years

DrKlever:
Osimhen has good work rate but extremely wasteful in front of goal. Iheanacho and Onuachu would have scored most of the chances he fluffed.

Sainty92:
I swear. I watched 90mins of this game and I didn't see anything spectacular Ebuehi did. He just had a normal quiet game cos Lesotho didn't even pose any threat. Sometimes I wonder if dudes here worship him because of skin color. He had an Okay game. Not a performance that would make Aina not start next time as some people are claiming

Meliforme:
Uzoho should be ahead in the pecking order, bringing into appraisement the following:

Ability to read the game - Uzoho

Reflexes. - Debatable

Stability. - Uzoho

Ball distribution and passing. - Okoye.

Marshalling the defense line. - Uzoho

Samueltemi337:
I thought you are against osimhen

JayromWrites:
like he gave nacho for his goal against burnley abi

Yeye dey smell

nairalandankrah:
Victor osimhen was involved in 11 of the 14 goals scored by Nigeria during the Afcon2021q (5®6) hmmm I doubt if Africa are ready for this monster of a striker..
#influential

JohnBullMySon:
Baba you don dey talk dust oh .

Uzoho looks and feels like a better keeper. Maduka has that boyish,fearful and insecure look, but sincerely, He is better and more confident.

The confidence made him pick the ball outside the 18-yard box too?

JohnBullMySon:
Reflexes is Okoye. I can prove it. Meanwhile what is stability? Seems Uzoho's looks is deceiving you guys.

By the way, don't you think there's a reason Ajax want Okoye to replace Onana?

Secondly how did you come to the conclusion that Uzoho reads the game better as well as marshalling defence line?

Is it because of how he shouts during corners?

1realBobby:
And add also that he did all these in 5 games! He really stepped in perfectly in Ighalo's shoes.

Ighalo scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 7 games last qualifiers to emerge as the top scorer

Oasis001:


At the moment, he has no Competition coz Musa can't be referred as one. Kalu is not stable enough for International Duties as well, otherwise should have been the real Competition.

I would have mentioned Simon, but he's more productive on the left wing, same as Henry.

elunico:
I can tune down my criticism of Onuachu a little now. 2 goals in 2 games, that's impressive. I won't raise any eyebrows if he's included in the team's list going forward.


Musa - the non playing invitee. Rohr de craze.

andrewbaba44:
