The former Enugu Rangers midfielder insists that the Eagles deserves a better shot-stopper after watching Uzoho's latest school-boy error against Seychelles' Pirates on Friday.
“The current crop of goalkeepers do not compare to the likes of Emmanuel Okala, Peter Rufai, Best Ogedegbe, Peter Fregene and Vincent Enyeama who were our match winners during their days.
“These are good goalkeepers that you can always count on to save matches for us. Even when an opponent has beaten everyone, he finds it hard to get past the goalie.
“That has been the tradition of our goalkeeping if you go down memory lane. Nowadays, it seems everything has changed.
”Uzoho's errors since the last World Cup are simply becoming unacceptable,” Okocha was quoted as saying to allnigeriasoccer.com in Asaba.
