Former Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given has criticized Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface’s performance against Liverpool in the Champions League.
Recall that Bayer Leverkusen were thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday.
Reacting after the game, Given, who was on punditry duties with Premier League Sports Ireland, questioned Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso’s decision to play the Nigerian international from the left wing.

“I was at the Europa League final at the end of the season in Dublin; they were so disappointing, they got bullied against Atalanta in the final.
“I don’t know, just very poor in the final third. They did play out from the back and through the thirds, but Boniface at times was playing on the left wing.
“You want him to be more of a target man; you want to bring some sort of injection to the attack,” the ex-Stoke City goalkeeper said on punditry duties with Premier League Sports Ireland.
