I think the line up you saw was wrong

He is on the bench

yinkeys:

If the coach pairs them
We are winning Afcon bro.
Forget it
This team has the potential irrespective of goalie, defensive & coach related issues
If Osimhen continues the way he was playing
I don’t think anyone takes that number 9 shirt from him in the next 7 years

He wouldn't.

Despite his recent scoring run, he has still not shown enough that he can deliver at the biggest stage. He looks Onuachu-esque. Poor pressing, poor stamina, but with excellent finishing propping up his stats. It's not all about scoring goals, what else do you have to offer in a game.

Osimhen, Haaland and co. are rated so highly because of how influential they are in games. They can singlehandedly spearhead an attack, and their abilities make them so threatening every minute they are on the pitch. Opposing teams have to put multiple players to mark them or change entire formations just to keep them in check. For example, Serie A teams don't play high line against Napoli when Victor starts. Is Awoniyi that influential in games?

drDoom3:


Angelino is not a winger, please. He is a wingback/fullback. The fact that he is so involved in Leipzig's attack doesn't mean he is a forward. That is just like saying TAA, Robertson, Reece James, Davies etc are wingers because of how attacking minded they are.

Aina has the raw materials to become a fullback/wingback like these guys. Stamina, pace, decent crossing, strength etc. The difference though is decision making and passing. These guys know when to join the attack, when to pass, when to fall back, etc. Aina struggles a lot with concentration and making the right decisions. This is something a good coach can easily train out of him.

drDoom3:


I watch all Awoniyi games. You cannot compare his pressing to Osimhen's. They are not in the same league.

Awoniyi has poor stamina, take it to the bank. That is in fact the reason why his pressing is poor. He starts well, but gasses out quickly and can't press with the same intensity he started with. Awoniyi has never been that kind of player though, right from U17.

When I meant big stage, I meant consistently at a top level. Keeping his form until the end of the season would be a good start.

drDoom3:


Onuachu has 12 goals this season. Does it mean he has excellent pressing and stamina?

Scoring goals is more about positioning and finishing than it is about pressing and stamina. However, players who press and have stamina are more influential in games because they are the ones running after the ball and defending from the front the entire game. These are the players who keep the opposing team in check and who can be relied on for the full 90 minutes to give their all.

Kog45:
My man I agreed with your point on pressing and stamina but my point is this....Awoniyi was not that poor when it comes to pressing and stamina,he may not be as sharp as Osimehn......Onuachu style of play does not mean he lack stamina.

As I said Osimehn pressing is out of this world,so don't compare him with any other strikers.

TheLoneCitizen:
Always wondered why Mourinho told Roma to go all out for Loftus Cheek, now I understand.

lbrichman2:


How do you mean?

TheLoneCitizen:

Mourinho obviously wants to sign him because he's a big upgrade to Roma's midfield.

Meanwhile, is there a better target man than Antonio in the EPL?

Remember squad selection is not strictly down to who the better individual is in a certain position but also the strategy and identity the selector has in mind for his team.
