Okoye of course, we can't just condemn him for that goal he conceded against Tunisia, he's our best keeper at the moment.
hahahaha, what a joke

Too average in super eagles, do we have any goal stopper that's better, above average and world class like Mendy?? The answer is NO. Then we have to stick with him. Btw why are you condemning him? Because of the goal against the tunisians? U think it's cheap?

What happened to uzoho ?

So we must stick with Okoye bedsuse we don’t have a world class GK like Mendy ?

I guess Burkina Faso Gabon capeverde GKs are all world class like mendy

Okoye is not assuming.I said it here Okoye will cost us Afcon and am repeating it Okoye in goal against Ghana will likely costs us WC qualifications...yes our best keeper based on his club performance but damn too average in super eagles.
I just weak at the mention of okoye because with him there is his a high percentage of we conceding with every shot on target from our opponent, because the defender's won't shield for the entire 90 minutes without him not facing some shot and so far his eaither the ball meets him at the back of the net or he him self meets the ball at the back of the net, once I see his name on the starting 11 against Ghana na to just buy more energy drink to quench hypertension because normally Nigeria game comes with tension wink

bros I had talk taya, yet many here had refuse to listen,

what had the goalkeeper trainer been teaching them, nobody will talk, if not for that voice, he would had caught the ball, he even got a hand to it out of reflex too,

now am beginning to think they are condemning him, not due to that goal. but his fine boy no pimples show on twitter
aloy agu is only giving them drills Best to his abilities and knowledge and practically they spend little bit of time together in the national team so he shouldn't get the blames for okoye's miscalculations due to him lacking in confidence why not also blame his goal keeper trainer's at his club who drill and train him everyday wink better for okoye to get his act straight and claim his confidence showing we can always count on him because he his our first choice or was arizabalaga not getting good goal keeper trainer's when he was performing poor now look at same arizabalaga making top class saves with better confidence after seating on the bench for someone who he was once rated highly than wink

Carl Ikeme damn handsome with good body and till today fans rate him highly....so what Okoye fine face got to do with football talk even my safarigirl who always happy seeing fine faces wearing eagles jersey wasn't happy with his performance.

Pls just tell me any remarkable performance from Okoye in GWG.

My point is simple,Okoye in goal for eagles is not assuring and have been saying this before Afcon and my good friend Charlesemeka who rate him highly can testify.....During Afcon I said only Okoye will cost us and it came to pass.

Sir,if Okoye comes good in GWG I will be glad,so this is not hating but football reasoning.

Uzoho with world cup experience....till today I still find it funny how Okoye emerged as number one without clear cut performance and with the opportunity given to Okoye,till now not yet convincing and funny enough he was very sure of starting.

and saying people hate him due to his looks doesn't hold water or looks childish for me because karl ikeme was quite Good looking and put a good shift for us with the little time we have the opportunity to have him man our post infact he made us not to feel the enyama exit that much am sure if it was okoye that directly replaced enyama with this kind of performance we would have lined up at enyama door steps to lay down and beg in fact he will be coming to the training with a private jet with nff paying for it wink

The Ghanaians would be happy to see Okoye in goal. Dede Ayew that shoots pretty well may just need some speculative shots to score against us.lol

Okoye's confidence must have been battered to an extent after the Tunisia game. He doesn't need the pressure of the WCQ at the moment.
Some players may be average for their clubs but beastly in the national team and viceversa...that's why relying on club performances alone can be misleading atimes.

They might be too harsh on Okoye but they aren’t bias

Senegal and Egyptian defenders dey looseguard at times and their GK Dey save them ,not even ekuke type of shot like Tunisia own

The defense have been making things easy for Okoye at the start of the tournament ,so why can’t he make things easy for them ?

Did you even see the distance of that goal ?

It’s not by age ,go and check the age of the Burkina Faso and Malawian GK and tell me they are experience as Carl Ikeme ,Okoye is even far rated than them but they make saves at the afcon that you will think they are top GK playing their trade at the epl Laliga and co

No call Mendy and Gabaski those two are old and experienced, and both had been on top flight footy for many years, especially Gabaski,


Okoye is just coming up, if that mistake is what had every every calling for his drop, being a young keeper, then let's go bring, both Ejide and Enyeama from retirement, since both can't make such mistake

Burkina Faso GK is just coming up but he is very good ,he is 25 and not old

They are too harsh on Okoye but when dem Dey insult akpeyi because of that Argentina error they weren’t harsh abi ?

They even blamed akpeyi for a free kick that many GK won’t save

Being a national team goalkeeper is not just about age but also being the best regardless of age.

Donnarumma that kept at the Euros is Okoye's age mate yet see how well he performed.

At this last AFCON our defenders tried to limit the number of times he was tested.

Nobody is saying Maduka should turn to Enyeama but make he dey make the basic saves na! is that too much to ask for?

Iwobi's form at AFCON wasn't encouraging. But who is Iwobi's likely replacement? It means Nwakali could play a part in the first leg.

Exactly my thoughts. Dede Ayew is like Ghana's Osimhen. He has a strong spirit he inspires his team.

Aribo would probably start ahead of Nwakwali in the AM position. I still believe someone would be called up, probably a new face
