Super eagle’s need fearful goalkeeper Ezenmwa is very good but he looks childish in the goal post too much especially when he came to WAFU tournament in Ghana, he should make his face fearful when he is in goal post n super eagle sychology should Syke him very well before going to the world cup next year, Ezenmwa should watch Oliver Cann former German goal keeper video clips very well n see how aggressive he is in the post when Oliver cann playing for Germany.
