Nigeria Should go and get Alsmpuso the youth goal keeper that kept for Nigeria sometime ago
That guy would have been better than nyeama and Peter rufai Jaja put together

Because he is from benin republic they ignored him

They should go get him so we rest
You are funny bro...which club is he currently playing for?

Nwabali vs Okoye: Who would you prefer as super Eagles first choice keeper

Withe return of Stanley nwabali to his former club Chippa United the debate as to who became super Eagles first choice keeper has once again been rekindled.
Who would you prefer to be the number one choice keeper for the super eagles.

Maduka Okoye is generally considered the better overall goalkeeper due to his technical skills and regular playing time in Europe, while Stanley Nwabali is favored for his physical strength and tournament heroics.

Okoye starts at a top European club, making him excellent with his feet and playing out from the back. Nwabali is stronger at commanding his box and saving penalties


.The debate between Nwabali and Okoye comes down to how their strengths fit the team's style.

Maduka OkoyeClub:
Plays in the Italian Serie A (Udinese).Strengths: Great passing, ball control, and positioning.
Weakness: Has struggled with consistency in past major international tournaments.

Stanley NwabaliClub:
Plays in the South African Premier Division (Chippa United).Strengths: Incredible penalty-saving, physical dominance, and shot-stopping.
Weakness: Less comfortable playing short passes under pressure from the back.

Fans usually prefer Okoye when playing a modern, possession-based style against tough opponents.
Most fans prefer Nwabali for high-stakes African tournaments because of his proven ability to save penalties and handle physical, traditional African football.

With the return of Stanley nwabali to his former club Chippa United which would give him game time and the AFCON around.
Who will you vote as Nigerias number one and why.
Nwabali
That Okoye is useless with handling long range shot

Re: Nwabali Vs Okoye: Who Would You Prefer As Super Eagles First Choice Keeper by shadrach77: 3:57pm
In terms of experience and confidence in goal Nwabali should still be our first choice. He makes silly mistakes sometimes but he is the best we have for now

Opportunities largely depend on your birth place or where you were raised
Nwabali is the better goalie, it’s glaring
Udinese 🤔 top club undecided

Re: Nwabali Vs Okoye: Who Would You Prefer As Super Eagles First Choice Keeper by toluleke(m): 4:13pm
Both of them non is good we don't just have option. If we don't have exceptional keeper like Vincent Enyeama what are comparing. But Nwabali is more better Okoye is worse

Okoye should go and enjoy in his country


Meanwhile, why has that other 3rd Keeper not been given a chance. I think he’s from local league

After Peter Rufai and Nyanma
Nigeria no get keeper again
Na leaking basket we dey carry for post
All the rest na manage
Make we kukuma use 11 players, zero keeper for kukuma better sef
After Peter Rufai, we still get Ike Shorounmu (Omo-Alhaja) then Biodun Baruwa, Dosu Joseph. Although Baruwa didn't play much for the Eagles

Goo0dHardDick:
How has he improved? Have you seen him keep in SE squad? Nwabali has been tested and man is good. Okoyo shouldn't be used for serious Competition
I have seen him keep for Udinese and he has improved a lot more than he was when he was giving a trial for SE , nwabali is not as good as we think he is that's why he is struggling to make a move to Europe,he went back to South Africa cause he couldn't find a club abroad
Re: Nwabali Vs Okoye: Who Would You Prefer As Super Eagles First Choice Keeper by prinsam30: 4:44pm
I will prefer nwabali despite say the guy too dey do over confident, okoye too is good sha

None... Nigeria needs to search for a better keeper.

There has to be at least 2 very good goalies within our local league... We need to stop this lazy and corrupt process of player recruitment.
But Okoye is not doing bad at Udinese nah

Vincent enyeama, Ike shorunmu, peter rufai, are the best so far from the 90s till now... Learnt that Emmanuel okalla was also a legendary figure in 70s/80s... Didn't watch him he was in d set of christian chukwu and segun odegbami them...

Nah he's not average at Udinese, I am just guessing national appearance freezes him especially since that mistake he made against Tunisia is some Nations cup ago that he got death threat
