Babayaro Attacks Rohr, Agu: Uzoho, Ezenwa & Akpeyi Are Not The Best Nigerian GKs

Retired Nigeria U23 international Emmanuel Babayaro is at it again after criticizing the Super Eagles coaching staff led by Gernot Rohr for not doing a good job as regards to the goalkeeping department.

During the World Cup qualifiers, Rohr utilized three goalkeepers Carl Ikeme, Daniel Akpeyi and Ikechukwu Ezenwa, who was in goal for the last four matches, while Deportivo de La Coruña youngster Francis Uzoho played the second half of Nigeria's win over Argentina last month.

''I must confess that I am not comfortable with the three goalkeepers we have in the team now,'' Babayaro was quoted as saying by Vanguard Nigeria, who made reference to Channels Television.

''They are not the best the country has and the coaches handling that department are not doing enough on them.''

Lille netminder Vincent Enyeama was the undisputed first choice goalkeeper for the Super Eagles at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups but has called time on his career with the national team.

Nigeria have conceded 26 goals at the World Cup, an average of 5.2 goals in a tournament since their first appearance in USA 1994.
