“We no send their papa” - Displaced Super Eagles keeper Uzoho tells critics
Francis Uzoho has sent a message to his doubters on social media after being displaced by Stanley Nwabali.
"You don’t know when something happened, the mistake happened and it happened but saying I am going to take the responsibility all by myself is a lie.
Football is a team work. When my team failed, I built on them and we kept the score 0-0 and when they came to Abuja it was my turn for my team to bail me out which they did and scored a goal.

"I wouldn’t say I am the only reason we lost the game, if we had scored two goals, it would have been something else, yes I have a share and I have always accepted the fact," he said on Home of Nigerian Football podcast.
Uzoho has subsequently lost his place in Nigeria's squad and was absent during the Super Eagles qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda earlier this month.
