Close to a dozen goalkeepers have been tried...both home-based and foreign based, yet the problem has not been fixed.
The AFCON final draw was held recently and the Super Eagles were drawn alongside host Cote D’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
Never have we had it this bad. Since 2015 when some characters frustrated Vincent Enyeama out of the Super Eagles, leading him into early retirement, Super Eagles have been struggling with the goalkeeping department. Let’s ask ourselves these simple questions, Is Super Eagles defence top notch? Is it rock solid? Does it rank among the best 10 defence lines in African football as we speak?
The team’s midfield in very ordinary, lacks creativity, energy, finesse and purpose. Worse still, there’s no creative player yet discovered to anchor the playmaking role. That scenario may reoccur with the present team. Victor Boniface is doing well in Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. One would think that pairing him with Osimhen will be the best option in a 4-4-2 formation.
