I need him to let us know if chuks will start for Villarreal or not because Villarreal do rotate him at times

Maybe with that I will believe grin

You no just wan get sense.

Common football knowledge should tell you that pacy strikers can easily be deployed to the wing. Mbappe can play in the centre and wing. Sterling as well, With Osimhen's recorded speeds, what stops him from deploying to the left wing in the SE, or is there anyone that can bench him there? It's not as if we even have a top left winger. So all our Good finishers should all sit down on the bench because Osimhen can only play 9?

The Osimhen you know is a CF and not a winger, play him as a winger and see his impact drop considerably. . Football is role play and maturing in peculiar roles vis-a-vis awareness and interpretation of space from the perspective (angle) afforded by the role (position), amid other paraphernalia like the skill set required for the role.

Osimhen outperformed all our wingers as a CF and not as a winger. If Osimhen is to be listed as a winger, then all of our wingers will bench him.

I can't understand you guys. Are you trying to say that Osimhen is not versatile?

If the left wing was a bad position for a pacy striker then why should Mbappe be asking for a left wing position in his next club?I'm pitting Osimhen against Mbappe because they have quite some similarities. I'm not saying that they're equal.

Do you know that Rohr has said before sometime last year that Osimhen is good on the wings?

Do you know that Osimhen sometimes played on the wings at Chaleroi and Wolfsburg?

I just tire for una. Which of our left wingers is even that good to be a sure starter over Osimhen?

I won't play Osimhen as a left winger. Left wing forward will be better.... So he can have freedom to cut into the middle... Pace isn't enough to play on the wing,he needs to have good dribbling skills and crossing too ..

Apparently, only Ejuke has a better crossing success rate than Osimhen... Chukwueze comes close with 21% grin

Osimhen deployed as a winger, cannot relegate to the bench, the wingers we have at the moment.

Playing as a CF (his natural position) is not the same as playing as a winger as he cannot give the the same level of performance.

How adapted (matured) is he to that role, more than the guys who play week in and out in that position.
How is his interpretation of space from that position more than those who play there consistently.
All that i am trying to tell you is that the neural pathways of guys who have the wings as their natural position and who play there consistently are more developed for the wing role than those who feature there as makeshifts. Exposure and learning creates and strengthens neural pathways, and neural pathways are responsible for habits required to feature in a particular role. Habits such as posture, interpretation of space etc. A CF's interpretation of spaces available to him and channels is not the same for a winger. Body alignment, tilt and posture also come into consideration.

Football is role play and maturity in those roles

And you talk about space, is Osimhen more pacy than the wingers we have now.

Hmm, I don smell small wahala.

Iwobi is 24 and Moffi is 21

If Iwobi and Moffi were close, then it would be that, at six years, Iwobi's close friend was a three year old boy, very unlikely cool

It gets more weird to think that the friendship had been going for some time. So when Iwobi was five, his best friend was two grin

If this story is true then Moffi's real age might be +2 or 3. The addition is not much sha.


Hmmmm

Yeah, I meant left wing forward not a full fledged left footed winger. A wing Back can be doing the crossing.

Yes, Osimhen is more pacy than them. he can be a left wing forward and we use wing backs. Even if na ur natural position, if you are a mediocre, someone else will play your wing for you.

By the way didn't you hear when I said that Osimhen has been deployed to the wing in his earlier clubs?

Do you know more about Osimhen than his own coach who said he can be deployed to the wing?

Osimhen will play as an inverted winger, he doesn't need to cross that much as Zaidu is on that same wing

And this your neural pathway talk, Please tell me, between Rashford at 9 and Ighalo at 9 who will you prefer?

Even still, I won't support Osimhen being moved to the wings just so other strikers can have the CF role.. He is best suited for the CF role he plays... It isn't advisable to move players to makeshift roles unless absolutely necessary... in this case,it isn't absolutely necessary.
Osimhen still remain our best CF option.. Never mind the fact that other CF have more goals than him ..He offers more than they do...
