Wonderful!!!
Nigeria needs a better goalkeeper, Mr Lack of Humility Francis Uzoho hands is like Water
Me think we should enable Maduka Okoye to regain his confidence. In my view, he has better foundational goalkeeping education than Uzoho. We need to encourage and be patient with him but unfortunately, Super Eagles fans are not known with that virtue.
Peseiro must dump Uzoho, he nusr summon Jonathan Rasheed and Maduka Okoye, Adeleye as three goalkerper for upcoming fixtures versus Lesotho and Zimbabwe; Peseiro also must summon Anderson Esiti and Al-Hassan Yusouf as strong and ferocious defensive midfielders instead of Ndidi and Oneydika; also he must summon Akor Adams and Chuba Akpom, Nathan Tella instead of Osihmen and Chukuwueze.
