Victor Osimhen has improved on his penalties this season, I'll be confident to give him a penalty in a tournament. I don't think he has even missed a penalty for Nigeria before (I'll go confirm that now)... Everyone here attested to that earlier this season, what is getting me annoyed is that out of the blues now, because he "almost" had one saved, you said he has a bad penalty technique. I didn't agree it wasn't good. I said I'm not against improvement, if he wants to change technique because someone said he has a terrible technique, that's up to him. All I know is that this technique is what he has used to score all his PKs this season and I'm okay with it. I'm not against it one bit.
4 taken for Nigeria, 4 scored.

If people dey talk this thing, you go think say Osimhen na the worst PK taker on the planet. 😒

Isak & Halaand
Moffi & Ekong
They have better pen techniques that’s what I’m saying
Osimhen makes his kicks look weaker because of his body language & sometimes the part of his foot he uses to take it

Why is Ekong taking better pens than a world class striker ?
Dude needs better practice at free kicks and pens



This isak? 😂

Some defenders are good at taking penalties. it was Ramos that was taking penalties for Madrid after Ronaldo departure even when the World Class Striker Benzema was there.

Isak has pens that go in at all angles
The keeper couldn’t get it because he got a bit confused due to Isaks body language
You had to bring up this one, he’s got much better pens
Osimhen mostly slots it in that position (bottom right)
It tends to be obvious the angle he’s going to place it in
You don’t get my point
Never mind grin

Ok true
I think in an interview Ekong once said his team mates believe in his role as PK taker
I guess his conversion rate is high in training compared to most

Go and watch all the penalties Osimhen has scored this season

It seems you only saw the one he scored against Fenerbahce
BTW Isak has scored 3 and missed 1 this season

I’ve carefully watched since his title winning season at Napoli
That’s his most preferred spot
Bottom right
Hopefully we see him next season in EPL

Osimhen has taken 4 penalties for the Super Eagles so far and scored all four, just like Ekong, who has also scored all the four penalties he has taken

Gbam. If Éric Chelle wants to choose his PK taker, there's a 90% chance he'll pick Osimhen. It's that sure.

He scored one against Sivasspor, he directed it to the top right corner/angle, which the keeper had no answer for. A few people still said it was too risky..lol

The pressure in tournaments is crazy though
The players know who their best pk takers are
They see it in training

Ekong started in 2022, in the match against Ghana in Abuja. Before then, it was between Osimhen and Simon. Omeruo took the best penalty in AFCON against South Africa, it was too good.

I disagree
Ekong’s 2nd pen kick against SA
That’s the best way to do it

Does Nunez not trust Awoniyi
Why’s he not on today
Hopefully it’s not serious

Sadiq’s team doing it big away @ Madrid

If you did your findings you will know that Awoniyi is injured
But you like creating things that's not true
So I am not surprised

Ekong, but Osimhen should be taking our penalties henceforth unless we are in extreme pressure to score.
Daninya33: 11:00pm On Apr 05
Omeruo is a better penalty taker than Ekong.

I will pick Moffi over Ekong too.

Ekong is our best penalty taker... against Ghana under pressure he came forward confidently and did it.

Penalties shootout is different from penalty during the course of a match, especially WC qualifiers when a team is trailing by a lone goal.

Ekong na baba
