Setaleonoz:


Krava wont be happy about this

And you know this how?

Meliforme:


A player who rose to the status of being Europe's top dribbler is not an Moses Simon?
None of our forward can handle the game of es, the way Ejuke does. He plays his es like a midfielder, even in tight spaces.

His problem sometimes can be showboating.
And the compulsion to impress.

Chidera Ejuke has the skills
He should realise that without responsibility and leadership, even the most skillful will amount to nothing.

He needs the doggedness, the presence and the fight to assert his influence.

This is his major challenge..

Meliforme:


After all the talk about Ejuke and he does not get an invitation, that might be what is making you uncomfortable.
Chidera Ejuke is the most technical of all S.E players.

His day is at hand.

Sorry
I don't think he will get invited anytime soon
That ship has sailed
Man has even lost his starting place in Sevilla

ChrisKels:
I would rather Osimhen went out on another one year loan in order to leave Napoli for free in 2026.

You know book

elyte89:


The best career so far…free from injury 🤣

And collecting salary steady without working
Life no sweet this one

BankyGee:

Well, a French team just annihilated Inter Milan in a Champions League final in a game Lautaro Martínez played and had 0 shots, on or off target, but that is a story for another day.

So Victor Osimhen is not consistent?

Lautaro plays for Inter Milan (one of the best attacking teams in the league) Inter never finished outside the top four since he ed them, Osimhen played for Napoli...

First season at Napoli 10 goals, second season, 14, third season 26, fourth season AFCON and Injuries - 15, with 25 games played. (Note that a lot of Injuries hampered his numbers in his first and second season). Man didn't even play up to 30 games in the Serie A more than once.

Let's talk about consistency for both of them now.

Using only the Serie A.

Victor Osimhen:
2020-21 - 24 games, 10 goals - 0.42 GPG
2021-22 - 27 games, 14 goals - 0.52 GPG
2022-23 - 32 games, 26 goals - 0.81 GPG
2023-24 - 25 games, 15 goals - 0.60 GPG

What this data shows is that Victor Osimhen is consistent and increases his goal tally every season in the Serie A. Now, last season was somehow because of AFCON and Injuries, but in all his seasons spoiled by injuries, last season was the best tally because he still managed a 0.60 goals per game season. This is a good tally for any random striker.

Now Lautaro Martínez:
2018-19 - 27 games, 6 goals - 0.22 GPG
2019-20 - 35 games, 14 goals - 0.40 GPG
2020-21 - 38 games, 17 goals - 0.45 GPG
2021-22 - 35 games, 21 goals - 0.60 GPG
2022-23 - 38 games, 21 goals - 0.55 GPG
2023-24 - 33 games - 24 goals - 0.72 GPG
2024-25 - 31 games, 12 goals - 0.38 GPG

Looking at both players carefully, are you seeing the leap in Victor Osimhen's GPG every season? His "bad" last season even has the same goal ratio as Lautaro's consistent (2021-22 season) and a higher goal ratio than Lautaro's consistent (2022-23 season). Lautaro's drop this season is even comical... Osimhen dropped from 0.81 to 0.60, your guy dropped from 0.72 to 0.38 for a team that almost won the league 😂

Osimhen can never be in a team that won the league and score only 12 goals 😂

It's not by the number of goals scored my man, it's how often do you score in the amount of games you play? That's consistency. And with these points of mine again, Osimhen is even more consistent.

If you want to use the drop in Osimhen's numbers last season as a yardstick to judge his consistency as a striker, then Lautaro Martínez's is even worse. 12 goals in 31 games, c'mon man... 😂

With all his 20+ goals per season, he won the golden boot just once because there was always someone doing better than him, Osimhen was one of those someones. Last season he won the golden boot, he didn't even still match Osimhen's tally, and Osimhen did it in one game less and two goals more.

It took Osimhen 3 seasons in the Serie A to win the golden boot, it took Martinez 6 seasons in the Serie A to win it with less goal tally than Osimhen.

Again, even in being consistent, Osimhen no be Lautaro mate.

You are good..
Too good

charlesemeka85:
Juve likely 😊❤️👊

From indications, yes
They probably are the only ones who can afford him

DrYa:



Glory..
Good news for some of us...silent ers..
Saudi league wey stadium dey empty during match..

Oshimen that level abeg..

My Christ Embassy brother!

Power!

Goke7:


Let’s even assume they mean well but the bashing is becoming unnecessary as if the whole transfer process is all within his control.

Another thing many are not aware and I have been careful to mention it is the growing sentiments against migration in Europe which is impacting every sector. If osihmen had an European port all these drama may not happen as it will just be an omo nile thing but for any European club to pay astronomical wages for any non European now omo na long thing o. Even two years ago things would have been easier but right now with the global economic downturn how will you explain to locals or the government splashing such huge money on a non European talent especially from Africa. That’s how complicated things are at the moment. No be everything dem Dey talk outside.

Smart...

Subzerooo:
I feel like Osimhen would have taken better decisions if he was educated

Osimhen hasn't made any decision yet
The guy is currently in Lagos enjoying his holidays..

TheSuperNerd:


2024/25 stats...

Tella: 0.1 crosses per game (8%)

Tella played 27 league games (17 starts) totalling 1,368 mins.

Chukwueze: 0.4 crosses per game (20%)

Chukwueze played 26 league games (9 starts) totalling 947 mins.

Somehow, Chukwueze has a better cross metric than Tella.

Also, Tella is not getting any younger. Like Chukwueze (already 26), Tella will hit 26 yrs next month. I wonder what magically exponential improvement he is gonna make at 26. Against Jamaica, he didnt impress. Looked very lightweight.

As for Tosin... you can keep rambling about a 27y/o CB going on 28 in 3 months' time still waiting for an England callup. CALVIN BASSEY EASILY OUTSHONE HIM IN 24/25 AND Both are CBs. Also, Bassey's 24/25 campaign across several individual performance metrics and minutes played beat each of Tosin's fulham campaigns/metrics of 22/23, 21/22 and 20/21. So yeah, dead on arrival.

I have said it before on this thread, Tella is not overly impressive..
There's a reason he comes from the bench in most Leverkusen games..
However, I would like to see him in a couple more SE games, unfortunately for him though, our next games will be the qualifiers and I don't think he will make the lists..

Odunayaw:
Wait who wore number 14 that missed one on one!

Fisayo

Truidstarr:
shebi we tell Una when dem hire am.

Una talk am..
We were just skeptical..
But I dey see him hand

Ihenzy:

You want change entire backline. Thank God you no be coach oo

You sef see am

Goke7:


The second half impressed me where we showed character where I thought we could collapse completely.

We are really improving
A good coach fors not need too long to show he's good

Mujtahida:

I want Boniface dropped but I come dey pity am. He's not just lucky

I like how Chelle is improving every aspect of the team ....
Attack, midfield, defence..

This man really came to work and succeed..
God! how we have lacked a good, inventive coach who understands the needs and potential of this team..

God bless Chelle

BankyGee:

You dey believe late 😭

At all at all bros...

charlesemeka85:
the boy is good na we no dey rate am

All he need to improve is his ball distribution

Omo
That ball distribution na die o
😂

Goke7:
[img][/img] Tough game!

Steeze for steeze
Aura for aura
Pound for pound

Very little to separate both teams..

And to think Russia was initially complaining that we weren't bringing Osimhen, Lookman, Aina and iwobi.. lol

They got more than they bargained for today..

God bless Chelle..
I don become believer..

chuks404:

Ndidi cannot do what these guys did today
Who saw onyedika turn around in the midfield ?

He did it twice sef
Calm on the ball
Does not balloon the ball anyhow, always looks to find his man..

Brainy

mostob:
we made just two subs? Chelle, why na

Some don play themselves comot for first team so
Like that Semi Ajayi and Boniface

Moniter0:
Good football from Onyedika and Maduka.

The midfield trio going forward should be Ndidi/Onyeka, Onyedika and Iwobi.

As na you be coach na

And finally, we have a team that can score after conceding!!

Weldone Chelle..
I see your work

JohnBullMySon:
At least two penalties been dey this game

These Russians rough o
I guess that's why Moses no put body for ball today

joelsteron:
Raphael Onyedika omo mi , baller

Proper baller
Ndidi s heir..

TheSuperNerd:
Tolu Arokodare grabs first Super Eagles goal even before Victor Boniface. Smh.

Boniface, if you like keep sleeping.

Boni might have peaked last 2 seasons?
Who knows?

Philosopher1979:


From my observations I think the midfield collapsed a little when chrisantus uche left

Exactly
We lost bodies in there

I've seen enough...
This team is ready for the world Cup..
We will not be disgraced there..

We just need to qualify first..
We are giving Russia the game of their lives ..
Them no believe am

Tolu has also moved ahead of Boniface..
Osimhen, Dessers, Tolu, Boniface

Starboytwo:
The way this Russians take set up is crazy, they look impenetrable...

And they fast too.

No wonder dem dismantle Zambia...

I'm expecting a much better 2nd half pls..

They are too organized
They move like a well oiled unit..

chuks404:
The midfield is getting it , you can see that the Russia can't even penetrate them
At a time we controlled the game
What is needed now are magician at the wings that can do one or two magic
This team is sincerely doing well.
Someone like ejuke will be a good addition here.
These Russians aren't that exceptional
Guys Una gas calm down and see the positives in this match

Spot on
You are good

We are playing very well..
Russia is too organized.. damn!
But kudos to Chelle
Set up this team perfectly..
Save that Semi's mistake and a few nervous moments, we had this game on lock ..

Boniface should be subbed..
Very poor positioning
