Oga no no....Osimhen right now is not happy,just a goal to get his mojo back and getting that goal against South Africa would be perfectly for him.....all he needs to do is to calm down and do it with ease.

I saw a camp clip after Angola match,he looked dejected and Iwobi wrapped his hands around him.

Osimhen is a fighter and if you believe he is happy so far with his performance then you are wrong.

Nooo. I saw that clip before the match against Angola and he was not depressed. He looked overwhelmed. The clip was not made after the Angolan match.

And maidaboi is right. Our attackers are our first line of defense. That's why you see Lookman, Osimhen and Moses playing as our front three because they defend from the front in the name of attacking. JPes has said it several times and I watched a video where Iwobi said that the attackers are the first defenders.

Moses Simon in his post match upon accepting the MOTM award was asked if Osimhen is disturbed about not scoring goals and he said that Osimhen is not. That they are focused on the success of the team not on this or that individual getting goals.

Omanambala:


I am not really sure but he has really struggled to score. KC or Moffi need to be given a chance. I wasn't impressed with Osimhen, especially in the last game. He lost the ball almost every single time

Pes is just like rohr. He wont use them. They are there to warm bench. I hate coaches that are rigid

Omanambala:


My goodness.... . Just when you think you have heard it all and my oga scattered everything

So you don't understand that Osimhen, Moses and Lookman play as defenders when we don't have the ball? Chai, so much for your knowledge of football if you don't grasp something as obvious as that.

I laugh when some people say that, without Osimhen, we wouldn’t have gotten to this stage of the competition. Are you guys playing? 😅😅

Put some respect on the names of your fvcking defenders!! Someone is even calling us ungrateful because of Osimhen.  😅😅

Our shots-on-target stats have been dismal in this competition so far. Even if he isn’t scoring, at least he should be hitting the targets ffs!!!

Some of y'all get high blood pressure whenever Osimhen is criticized but put the likes of furo iyenemi and uzoho for that defense and see if una body nor go don tell una..

Eguavoeen that was flexible, where did we reach?

Bannedlargedx2:
Napoli hasn’t posted anything about osimehn during Afcon. They must be angry

Has Fulham posted about Iwobi or Bassey or the clubs of the other players posted about them?
Atalanta posts Lookman cos he's scored winning goals.

Dont know why I feel fearful about the South Africa & Ivorian games
Hopefully Osimhen has recovered fully

All these anti-oshimen peeps should take a chill, if he can't score, others will and that's why it's a team game.

No sane coach will bench his most dangerous forward even if he's not scoring, na for nairaland I dey hear such things

Bannedlargedx2:


Although, osimehn was showing lack of respect to Napoli in the past few months while Napoli initially disrespected him and didn’t apologize. The way he has been missing easy chances, if I was him na PSG I go go straight. England no get patience

What lack of respect?

And spare me that nonsense. There's a certain misses Nunez in one of the best clubs in England.

Y'all take this opinions too far!

Yeah Fulham has o

Eguavoen was flexible to the point him allow SM analyst to influence am. Result - that's what matters.

JPes gave some guys like Bruno opportunity against GB. I wasn't too impressed. Those guys on our first team are there for a reason. See Moses has edged out Chukwueze. We practically don't have a right winger because Lookman is a striker in this set up. He starts from the wings and in the midst of the game he situated himself centrally, coming in behind Osimhen to knack them kpako

Odunayaw:

You sure it's not that Premiership handle that posted Iwobi and Bassey?

Eguavon picked players based on form at club level. What are you telling me

and the current coach is doing otherwise abi

Blueelf:
Benching Osimhen would make Nigeria actually win comfortably

Don't listen to this bitter soul. He doesn't want us to win.

dangerous with no end results to show for it

na wetin people no wan understand be this, the coach has his plan b already and we are here breaking our heads. He has said if he's looking for goals Iheanancho can come in, I wonder what's all this fuss about oshimen not scoring. I was worried earlier during the group stages but having understood the coach's intention in later games, I calmed down.

bisqit:

na you dey worry yourself

‘Let’s test other strikers’ you’ll think we are playing friendly games

Goke7:

no but he's rigid. Why call them and not use them

PurpleHouse:

you dey mind am, he wants us doing same things Cape Verde and Angola did by removing their most dangerous players

bisqit:

sorry if those on the bench are your relatives or friends, the nation comes first, thank you

Omanambala:


Osimhen needs to work on his ball control because its disastrous. I watched the match with a Nigerian co worker and whenever the ball was ed to Osimhen he lost possession like 90% of the time. Very very poor. The opponents have already figured out he has very poor ball control and will use pressure to dispossess him.

That goal Lookman scored if it was Osimhen it would be 50-50. Pressing and charging is good but he is a striker and must do his job.

Most of the British bred guys are more technically sound compared to the Nigerian bred with the except Iheanacho and a few others
The guys here usually play with heart, hardwork, raw talent etc
Osimhen would improve properly if he hires a personal coach for injury & energy management & for other things like this during holidays
He needs to fine tune a few things to become a lethal finisher
I believe Harry Kane is still a better striker than Osimhen
Victor can improve nevertheless

Okay but good that we have Lookman and Osimhen

Goke7:

Favoritism
Coach will not change Osimhen even if he’s playing badly lol
I’m hoping Osimhen took two days off to recover fully because the next game is gonna be harder than others
South Africa have a fantastic penalty stopper and a good free kick taker

That's why we need better academies where they will learn the rudiments of the game early because they grow older and form bad habits that can't be unlearned

Goke7:

did you see that cape verde player that was angry he was removed? He almost damaged the water cooler. Which of our players can do that? Let me guess. Iwo...

The South Africa I've followed from the beginning of this tournament will always start like a house on fire in the first 30 minutes. And wear out in the 35th minute till the end.They are the easiest route to the final if you ask me. if we can't beat them as they are now under 90minute, then we don't have business winning the Afcon.

South Africa and Ivory Coast frighten me

Lookman is the RW..

this is what happens when strikers play as wingers they know when to come into the box and attack.

If it was Chukwueze he won't be in the box to attack and score goals.
