Peter Utaka has blamed his non performance for the Eagles on limited playing time given to him by coach Samson Siasia.
The Odense of Denmark striker who has made seven appearances and scored four goals for the Eagles, declared that he needs to get quality time to make the difference.
“You will see that I have not been given much playing time in the team of recent. The last time I played against Argentina I think I played like five, 10 minutes,” he revealed.
“There is a big difference starting a game or having like 45 minutes to play than coming in as a substitute for the last five or 10 minutes. So there is no way you can just settle down in time to score goals in such limited time.
“It’s not that easy at this level to get goals in a few minutes of play.
He added: “But I can’t blame the coach (Samson Siasia) because he has at his disposal many strikers for any match. I just need to wait for the time I will get enough playing time to start scoring again.
“I am even very grateful to him for picking me for the national team. But I am pleading for more playing time and I won’t disappoint him.”
Utaka, is realy lucky that he gets invited for the national team. His performance in the matches he started fell short of expectation.
