Eguma furious over strikers’ wastefulness

Rivers United have slowly continued their ascent on the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table following a solid start to the 2016/17 season. The Pride of Rivers have won two and drawn one of their opening three games of the season, amassing seven out of a possible nine points.

Makes for good reading to the average fan of the football club but not to technical manager, Stanley Eguma, a well-known perfectionist who will hardly settle for anything for the best.

United’s home games this season have followed a particular pattern; almost total domination of their opponents, especially in the aspect of chances created but putting the goal scoring opportunities away have seemingly been extremely difficult, a situation that has left Eguma exasperated.

“We could not convert the avalanche of chances (that came our way against Niger Tornadoes on Sunday) despite creating so many and that is a big worry to me.

“It’s a big worry for me and one of the biggest headaches I am facing presently.

“We will represent Nigeria on the continent and should be scoring goals freely but that is not happening.

“We have to go back and work on this,” Eguma told the club’s official website, www.riversunitedfc.com.ng.
