Blueelf:


Not at all

He was named Obagoal for a reason

Makinwa (Palermo) was the one that struggled

Nostalgia is a magnifier

chinchum:
Nostalgia is a magnifier

Not really

Brown Ideye struggled

So did Ighalo at some point

Oba scored 28 goals in 88. Osimhen 47 in 79 in the same Seria A (most of these goals are extra...).
Please, let us stop disrespecting Osimhen. Obafemi was disappointing several times in Super Eagles jersey!
This is Osimhen first major tourney as a starter. By next AFCON, he would be in a club that respects him and will be psychologically prepared to play!

Mujtahida:

I wonder too. But you know it's easy to do this after a match

True sha...

Joebie:
Good analysis.

in summary
1. Peseiro found this setup after injury to Ndidi and later Yusuf. He had to deploy Iwobi to a more defensive role
2. The team is well drilled to defend as
a unit and occupy spaces as well as transition to attack quickly.

My issue with Peseiro remains making tactical changes not just because he is forced to but to switch up play either to kill the game or counter when the opponent has made changes and are attempting to exploit weak areas in the team. Angola exposed Peseiro in this.

Since the AFCON started and until the Angola game I’ve not criticized Peseiro. Even after our first game vs EG which ended in a draw, I praised the team.

I read somewhere that he actually tried this set up in our friendly against Mexico. He's been spot on in his substitutions but for the Angolan match. Then again even the players didn't want to come out.

Barryseal:
I'm enjoying the Obafemi Martins VS Osimhen comparison on twitter.
I don't know what you guys think. I personally think Obafemi was a better finisher.

Definitely. Obagoal was phenomenal. It's a shame he had not so many goals

Eazzzii:
They say we aren't better than the Cape Verdians or the Morrocans.

We will see tomorrow

chinchum:
some people likes fantasy a lot. They fantasise about all sort of needless experiments. How can anyone even suggest dropping Osimhen on the bench for any other bench SE striker at AFCON.?

1 goal and 2 assist at this AFCON.

I am one of the biggest critique of Peseiro, but the moment I noticed he has introduced an ultra defensive tactics that ensure we don't concede unneccasry goal at this tourney while still creating goal chances, I gave him my .

No mind komekn and his lust for unpredictability

zicky:
And you think Sadiq will get a permanent shirt?

Sadiq has the better chance.

Joebie:
If Osimhen had scored 3 our 6 big chances, he’d have 4 goals now. So Osimhen could excel in this set up. He’s just missed some chances.

Likewise Moffi. All this set up talk. In a 3-4-3 you have a point man. Moffi has played in a variety of formations in Nice. As a RF/RW in a 4-3-3. As a CF in a 4-3-3 and even as a CF in a 3-4-3 (where he also scored). See below their game vs Lyon

Yea you are right, I was just irritated with his statement that kc and moffi cannot score in this setup like are they amateur players

@bolded partially true because the situations prior to the Angola match was different. Anyways you have finally come close to what I’ve been saying. .

Most of those appearances was as substitute. This is what the stats won't tell you. Obafemi was competing for game time with seasoned strikers like Adriano, Vieri, Cruz. Martins never struggled in Seria A. He normally gets onto the pitch with 20 mins remaining and bangs!

caprikon:


No contest...Obagoal's finishing trumps this current version of Osimhen in that aspect. Osimhen needs to improve his finishing to take his game to a different level.

and the same oba had lesser goals in serie A when compared to osimhen?🥱

Caprisun!!

Marjoribanks:
I don't agree, bruh! Obagoal was underwhelming for Nigeria! No AFCON or World Cup highlights! At club level, Osimhen finishing is on another level! Past things always seem better than it actually was!

You Dey mind them, I just hear names anyhow simple question is what trophy did they win for Nigeria. Na so person Dey argue say Yakubu Dey more clinical the same Yakubu wey miss open net like like Moses parted the Red Sea. Yeye comparison. I love Martins but please you got to mention strikers like emenike before him, those are winners.

The matter weak me. Because Osimhen is very food, dem come dey talk like Moffi dey chop bench for . Somebody who is known to explode in big games.

Sadiq has the better chance.

time will tell, with the number of strickers coming up every day

Mujtahida:

Definitely. Obagoal was phenomenal. It's a shame he had not so many goals

He wasn't an automatic starter at Inter Milan. It's even a miracle how he gets on to the pitch at all with legendary strikers like Adriano, Vieri etall. A testament to how highly rated he was.
The move to Newcastle was a bad one. Valencia was supposed to be the better option where he could have played with David Villa.

Caprisun as per caprikon.

Obagoal's game time at Inter can't be compared to Osimhen's who rarely makes substitute appearances in Naples.

Like I said, I used the eye test, not stats.

Understand the context before capping your own.

Been a serie A champion and top chart scorer; breaking so many records has overshadowed whatever martins achieved in his career….in a nutshell osimhen better martins

Marjoribanks:
If your olofo father has my type of job you won't be an IPOB miscreant feeding on your kidnap victims flesh. A mofo from the generation of cannibals. Such effontery! You keep shut when humans are talking. Stvpid boy always talking crap. Koni ragba fun ebi ee.

Lol you this kid again? Boy it is obvious you are a product of a violent rape, hence you come here behaving like an animal, but I'm the wrong person to take out your anger on. Direct the anger to your miserable father who couldn't control his sexual urge while molesting the bitch that bore you as a son. If he had been in control of his orgy he probably would have pulled out and nutted outside to save that moronic whoré the stress of carrying you for nine months.

Marjoribanks:
Where were you when he insulted 'his' generation few months ago and I kept mute? Where was your response to him, then? Let him reply if they born his father well! Don't get involved in what you know nothing about!

Kid I just got home. Put body I have your time now.

In case you don't have enough data, drop your number let me sub for you so that you don't run away.

Na to change the ko to su caprisun don ready be that.

Osimhen rose to score 26 league goals in the same Seria A.
More than any African including George Weah.
How was Oba's performances in other clubs.
Never at Osimhen level? Never!!

Moffi started against Zim away no single shot at goal!

We shall see against SA tomorrow

I just hope Osimhen proves me wrong sha. I really want to be proven wrong

Danielnino00:
I've never seen South Africa fans so confident before a game against us

2019 game vs Nigeria. They were so confident they danced and sang victory songs from the hotel to the bus to their dressing room.

Until Samuel 'Smarkdant' Chuks ended their orchestra

Data! lol! Classless animal! Buy it for your wretched father!
You are a such a waste of precious time.
My son's salary alone will buy your generation.
Koni ragba fun ebi eee!

You still don't get it. If Osimhen was competing with Adriano, Crespo, Vieri at 22, you reckon he will get enough game time to hit 26 goals?

Been a serie A champion and top chart scorer; breaking so many records has overshadowed whatever martins achieved in his career….in a nutshell osimhen better martins

all because oshimen has not scored more than one goal so far in afcon, martins is now a better striker, the funny things we dey read here aaah, I fear my country people

Hahahaha it has moved from your lowlife parents, to you and that unfortunate brothel hustler you call a wife, to your son now? Online rich man with audio money. See idiot wey woman dey feed and harbor for house ooo, or you think I don't know you?

Boy, I'm not the cause of the chaos in your life, so fück out of my mentions.

Stats didn't show Martins was played as a winger.

The move to Newcastle was a bad one. Valencia was supposed to be the better option where he could have played with David Villa.

If he was better than those strikers, he would be a starter and perhaps score more goals but he wasn't better. Oshimen was not only a starter but the best in Serie A. It's that simple
