Can't this coach field Musa?
Musa has pace and he's an experienced striker. Abi Musa came for escort?

If I am the coach, I won't start Lookman and Simon Moses. They've been the thorn in the flesh of their opponents and these Xenophobic people will be looking to deal with them, how we wan take play finals without them?
So I'll pull off surprises by starting Chukwueze and Iheanacho first, I'm sure they'll utilize the opportunity to shine like their comrades.

Bros, don't bother yourself analysing anything to them. Nigerians are known to be very myopic. Osimhen has been running around the whole pitch and hitting defenders. To them, that's the job of a striker. Dude has been very wasteful with the few chances that he got. Yet, they are making excuses for him about opening up space for the rest. Lolz. cheesy cheesy

The same way they made excuses for Mikel and called him a 'blocking 4'. Mikel that was only passing back and guiding ball, they said he used to slow down the tempo of the match. You see Nigerians, we are more emotional than logical. Little wonder we voted for a monumental failure like TINUBU to rule over us.

PS- Osimhen is a good striker, but he's no where near the level of 'World Class Strikers'.


ok, who shoud replace him, bro there literally no one else, except ighalo, dont even mention chukwueze who is a total letdown always, or ONUACHU, who reappears oly after they blow whistle

Mumu, it's not just about the goals. His movement off the ball creates spaces for the likes of Lookman. Arm chair analyst with zero football knowledge.

it's not the goals that matter. His presence can make two or three players useless in the opposition team as they will be busy holding him down and others will be able to score.

That's how important quality players are

Thanks.

So as they hold him down how many goals have the other players scored? I appreciate Osimhen, no doubt, but let's not sound like without him, it is over for us? With or without him if Nigeria can win the cup or lose the cup

With him, our chance of winning is higher. Teams that play the formation we play (5-2-3, low block) are such that are constantly on the back foot defending and breaking on counters. With Osimhen upfront, our opponents have been very at alert to not come out at us thereby giving us a much balanced play.

His game style is not much different from Jesus and Nketiah. Don't see him making any difference

Re: AFCON: Osimhen down with abdominal discomfort, did not travel with team by Bahamas95(m): 9:21am On Feb 06
His presence in the attack will be missed because he distracts defenders while creating opportunity for his teammates to do the scoring......No cause for alarm sha because we got Onuachu the giant and other strikers in the squad.

the truth is he's underperforming in this tournament and we have more hungrier players on the bench

This is a cup competition where his team is set up in a defensive frame. Obviously the target is to just win games and lift the trophy. His execution is very pivotal in this kind of set up because he's not necessarily playing to score. He just stays on the neck of the defenders over the 90 minutes and create space for the wingers to play. Not every striker can execute that consistently. Infact, attacking players don't have the patience to be hustling for the ball like he does. If we are to use another striker then the strategy will change otherwise you will see the striker's frustration after 60 minutes of bearing down

We have forgotten what happened in the last AFCON in Cameroon, after winning all our matches and our hope became very high, Our opponent -Tunisa observed that our strength was our wings, what did they do? They crippled the wings, was Nigeria not thrown out?
If u want to win trophy, make sure ur opponents do not know how u will approach them, otherwise, they'll plan ur downfall and succeed.
And u think after 5 matches, our opponents have not known that Osimhen, as wonderful as he is, he is not as scary as it appears on paper.
