I'm a big fan of Maduka but why do we have to fix what's not broken? Isn't Nwabali doing well?

minfelix:
since some people dont want us to rest on this issue of Maduka Okoye taking over the no1 spot, i hope AE can use him in the return leg next week, thats if hopefully we can trounce Libya tomorrow

aicon4s:
Even if we trounce Libya 11-0 in Uyo and Libya presents their second team for the return leg, Nwabali will still be favourite to start. When you have at least a good goalie like Nwabali, especially after the previous ones like Uzoho and Okoye disappointed, it is important you keep playing him to boost his confidence level and also to improve the Chemistry between him and the defence. Remember we are building towards the 2025 AFCON and 2026 WC.

In club and national team football the goalie is almost never changed except in cases of the number 1 losing form or getting injured.

Okoye is a young man who's improving steadily I'm almost certain his time will come so long he remains on the right track.

Nwabali has been forged in the fiery oven of the AFCON and been found to be stable and worthy. Let the guy continue his good work instead of all this unnecessary distractions.

On point

Our foolishness must stop please it must stop ✋

Both okoye and nwabilion is not as good as ter stagen who never started any game unless neur was hurt

There’s a reason there’s a first choice and backup Okoye is a back up and should remain there

Nwabilion has proven time and time again that he’s mr reliable he can play with both feet and he was instrumental against South Africa 🇿🇦 if timely interception of those long balls saved our a$$

Nwabilion hasn’t put in a wronged foot since he’s been our number one shot stopper.

So why rest him for an inconsistent goalkeeper who shrinks when the lights shine brightest

junnyjake:
yes, because I remember how panicky I was when Uzoho came in for Nwabali against Angola, he still didn't help his case when he hoffed his goal kick straight to the sidelines afterwards.

Man! We need a solid backup.

I watched Maduka keenly last season and it all started against Cagliari in Copa cup,he was massively impressive and that match was the turning point that made him Udinese number one but fast forward I watched three of his matches this season ,especially against Inter Milan…..in all honesty he has improved but to be sincere he is not better than Nwabali I saw in Afcon

charlesemeka85:
Since Nwabali took over the GK starting shirt for the team the toughest opposition we hv faced is CIV 🤔😏

Mk we meet better ranked teams in friendlies Mk dem bombard our 18 yard box with fierce attacks and shots fess Mk I check something 😊

charlesemeka85:
I love Nwabali’s composure but I still believe he is yet to be tested in the colors of the national team

SamueItem337:
What the hell are you saying 😒
You sound so off

SamueItem337:
Nor be every thrash you think you suppose come here come talk
Nwabali was not tested against South Africa?
He was not tested against Ivory Coast or Angola?
Which other test him need
Maybe you go enter pitch go test am

soetanoreoluwa:
Pick your best trio.

charlesemeka85:
against Angola he made a good save which was the only clear cut chance the South Africans had

Against SA he shone in the pk shoot out which I mentioned in my previous post

I’m not saying he is good or doesn’t deserve his place as the starting keeper but all I’m saying is that I would want to see him against more potent and deadly attackers

I never said that Maduka is better than him ooooo

SamueItem337:
From all the things you just listed up there you still saying he hasn't been tested is totally off

Subzerooo:
Na shiny toy syndrome dey make people mention Maduka's name with Nigeria's goalkeeping situation because we have witnessed him and what he can do and God forbid we go back to that

Kog45:
My point is simple Joe man….Awo not starting in Forest is due to a terrible injury he suffered….unfit Awo over Dessers?Eguavoen should answer that….mind you I would rather have George or Tolu over Awo than Dessers in the list.
