He is 23 years old and he managed to get everyone's attention against Manchester United, I'm sure he will have more chances even though he failed to secure a goal in the last minute, he has a chance in the next 2 games he should be able to take his chance there. I checked the price of this goalkeeper on transfermarkt yes it's still cheap.

Indeed, being consistent in playing football is very important to make a player to be watched out by bigger clubs. Nothing impossible. But, if he has fewer match game again and he loses his consistency, this will only be temporary news about him and then his name will probably disappear on its own and not be popular anymore. Because in the world of football, consistency is very important to keep playing well in every game, not just one time.

At least he should be able to maintain consistency until the transfer market reopens, considering that many big clubs need goalkeepers who have rescue instincts.
Even though Francis Uzoho is the second tier goalkeeper at Omonia Nicosia club, he deserves appreciation in this match and thanks to his toughness in guarding the crossbar, it is not impossible that in the future Niel Lennon will give the goalkeeper more playing time.

If he plays consistently in every game, it is possible that bigger clubs will glance at him later. But again, this definitely needs consistency and proof that he is really a talented goalkeeper. Moreover, with so much media that are spreading the news about him, this may be a positive sign for him.

Feyenoord were a really huge disappointment for me. My betslip lost because of them while I was uncomfortable with the AEK - Fenerbahce game then. I don't understand how come Feyenoord can lose two points against this team again. They made a comeback from 0-1 to 2-1 first but Midtjylland still managed to equalize it after. There was still half an hour to go for the end but Feyenoord couldn't score the winner. They were really dominant in the second half actually.

Real Sociedad defeated Sheriff very easily by 3-0. Fenerbahce were in a little trouble after it became 1-1. But thankfully they continued to fight hard for the win and deserved that 2-1 win. It would have ended by a bigger goal difference also if Valencia didn't miss that penalty. He missed quite a lot of penalties so far also.

Looks like you didn't watch the game until it was finished, because in extra minutes, precisely in the 93rd minute Scott Mctominay managed to score one goal for Manchester United's victory.

In the Europa League, the only goalkeeper to have made many saves has been Francis Uzoho this season and it looks like the Omonia keeper will maintain this record for a long time. Currently the British media are talking about Uzoho, even in the upcoming transfer market, he is likely to be the target of many clubs.

Back to Manchester United, this match is quite crucial and important to maintain the position of the grub E standings, if in the next match Manchester United is able to beat Real Sociedad with a big score, then Manchester United will become the grub champion, although this looks quite heavy, because in the first leg Manchester United lost 0-1 at home, but this seems to be Erik Ten Hak's target in the next match.

exactly about this. There are a few who underestimate them. Maybe my guess is not correct regarding many parties who feel Omonia will be a team that Manchester United and easily beats to become Ronaldo's moment to add to his goals in this competition.
 
All of that is refuted with accurate statistics. Despite the poor finishing of the Manchester United players, I don't want to talk about that, but what is clear is the greatness of Francis Uzoho. With the action shown by Uzoho, now he is busy being linked with a replacement for De Gea.

Would you look at those stats?  34 shots and 13 hits the goal.  Despite this, there is a Manchester United who won with a goal in extra time.  The miracle would happen for Omonia and they would draw at Old Trafford.  Even though they failed to do so, they gave a great performance.  Their resistance against Manchester United is also a great success.

We are more interested in saying that, because from a few seasons ago they were only able to finish in the top four or five, although in reality it is not quite right to say that.
But now I almost remember Arsenal's glory days, where Thierry Henry was a very important player at that time, this season Arsenal started to develop quite well and almost could compete with big clubs in the English league.
However, we want to see Arsenal can play consistently until the end of this season. Otherwise, they are still the same as the previous season.

Arsenal has set the vision of playing, the young strength that Arsenal has is more motivated to play and has better targets.
Arteta is the driving force behind this power, plus the support from club owners who are willing to spend money to buy players as needed.
In the past, Arsenal only relied on existing strengths, they only bought a few players who had not yet finished, but were polished and sold to other clubs, so the club felt that they benefited from the sales proceeds. At least this concept of thinking has disappeared at Arsenal, as evidenced in the last transfer market they dared to buy players beyond their previous capabilities.

This has not become any evidence from Artera, because the number of matches has not entered the half of the season. There is still a lot of work to be done to get Arsenal back to its former glory.

Fenerbahçe are successful in both the Europa League and the Turkish League. They undoubtedly owe this to the tactical genius of Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus. It is not impossible for them to be the champion of the Turkish League and the first place in the group stage of the Europa League. Jorge Jesus has the experience to take them to the Champions League. I think they will beat Rennes and win the group lead. If they don't face a strong opponent in the next rounds, we can watch them at least in the quarter-finals of this tournament. I wish they had managed to bring Jorge Jesus to head the team earlier.

I watched the match, so I have to say: agree with Roy Keane. Take nothing away, it was a good, good job from the keeper, and he did everything he could have been expected to (being a stand-in selection no doubt, too) but he didn't make any world-class saves.

Again, it should be said, this was nothing to do with him not being world class, it had everything to do with United not being able to produce any quality shots. They even took so many pot shots that you sensed their estimation of themselves vastly outstripped the underestimation of Omonia.

Fenerbahce secured their place in the group with a good away win. Now they will fight for the lead against Rennes in the next match. Jorge jesus has really reinvented the team and is finally giving the fans the attacking football they wanted. I hope we will have good success both in the league and in Europe.

Indeed, at least, he made around 12 saves. Although Omonia lost to Man United, their goalkeeper really gave frustrating saves. We can see how many shots were attacked by Man United and he could hold them, so Man United could only score 1. The statistics really proved how their goalkeeper was really great and awesome in saving the club from more goals.
News here
Yes, this Nigerian goalkeeper, Francis Uzoho, is still 23YO.

Even if the game ended in a draw, Omonia's chances for even third place were slim. Although it would be cool for them to score the first point in the draw plus draw with the legendary team in the legendary stadium. It's funny that United, with what can be said to be a miserable and annoying game, has practically secured access to the next round and may even take first place in the group.

It should be so, and it is very fitting that we give the best player to Francis Uzoho in that match.
The Omonia goalkeeper recorded at least ten brilliant saves
If I'm not mistaken, the goalkeeper's age is still 23 and it is quite possible in the upcoming transfer market to be the center of attention for top clubs.

The entry of Christian Eriksen, Jadon Sancho, Scott Mctominay and Luke Shaw made Manchester United's game even more attacking, although they were unable to score in 90 minutes of normal time, the attack that Manchester United players tried to build several times almost scored.
Luckily in the 93rd minute Scott Mctominay managed to create one goal, so Manchester United got full points in the match.

Francis Uzoho's great statistics against Manchester United deserve our thumbs up. Data from livescore.com shows how the 23-year-old from Negeria left Manchester United players proving to be overwhelmed in their quest for victory. 11 shots on target and 14 shots on target up to 10 Goalkeeper saves got United legend Keane talking.


The quote above is Roy Keane's statement when speaking to BT Sport which is very much in line with the facts shown by Uzoho.

Arsenal is not a mid-table club, despite the fact that we both know how Mikel Arteta's impact has changed the club. Arsenal is one of the best clubs in England, and they are not only interested in trading players for money or profit.
Reviewing Premier League history prior to Arsene Winger's last two seasons at the club, Arsenal was consistently funded in Champions League every season, and they were always far above group stage.

Yes, Arsenal have changed their playing mentality, and they are now capable of competing for the Premier League and the UEFA Europe League as well. They are loaded with young players eager to play and win trophies for the team, and they are better than the Arsenal of a few years ago, as they prepare to resurrect the Arsenal of old.

First you must give credit to boyhood Manchester United fan and Nigerian International Francis Uzoho he help them alot in that game by making lots of save for Omonia.
Back to the squad, the squad was quite okay but the introduction of Malacia and Fred didn't up the game, especially Fred, he was not in the game, had some chance but he still failed to score the introduction of Shaw, Sancho and Mac Tominay and also Erikson turned the game around.

Good Tominay sent that one home, the fans where pleased, we controlled the game, defended well but the attack didn't convert those chances and goals.
Erik Ten Hag read the game well did the right changes but also should have substituted Marcus Rashford all because he wasn't part of the game.

The struggle of the Omonia players during 90 minutes of normal time was in vain after McTominay became the hero of Manchester United victory by scoring against Omonia in the 90+3 minute, Omonia hopes of getting a point at Old Trafford disappeared. The fatigue of all Manchester United players paid off because they were able to end the game with a win.

An additional goal from Boving Vick in the 83rd minute made Lazio have to fight hard in the next two matches, the 2-2 draw that Lazio vs. Sturm Graz just got made all the teams that join Group F collect 5 points. Now the four teams in Group F have the same opportunity, they must fight to beat each other in order to qualify for the next round.

Arsenal's philosophy experienced a shift in terms of vision and mission of playing, before the coach was taken over by Arteta, Arsenal was just a mid-table club that played to profit from the sale of its players.
This season Arsenal are looking at the Premier League with optimism and dare to compete with top clubs, five seasons ago this philosophy was very rarely shown by Arsenal.
Arteta really understands the needs of the players he has, the strength of young players can make Arsenal one of the clubs to be feared, the Europa League is an experiment to rotate young players and it has been proven that so far Arsenal are still very consistent.

The style of play that Arteta developed at Arsenal did not use a defensive strategy, from the total number of matches they played there was not a single game that used a total defensive strategy. Arsenal played quite openly in various matches and proved to get maximum results, only one match that made Arsenal lose, namely against Manchester United.

However, in the match last night, Bodo/Glimt played quite well and neatly, even though Arsenal managed to control the ball.
So far we are very satisfied with Arsenal's achievements, although there are still many opportunities that have not been maximized properly.

And Arteta's rotation of players is going very well, this is an important note, that Arsenal have developed this season, although they have not shown consistency until the end of the half of the season.
