Na here we dey when some people dey single out Zaidu (A defender for that matter) say him no get end product

How many chances has your favorite striker converted?

Zaidu is first a defender and I won't mind as long as he does his defensive duties excellently. Other attacking attributes are secondary to his position but you see the no 9 you guys are parading as the best in the world, how many chances has he converted? Isn't he a striker?

Let us stop this nonsense favoritism. The same people who will insult Zaidu for missing that goal against Angola would make stupid and silly excuses for Osimhen if he missed the same chance. Y'all hypocrisy here stinks

Omanambala:
I don't know why people go haywire when you give a constructive feedback. It's the inability to think clearly and that is some form of mental problem

Real one

Omanambala:
You , again! What do you mean by ungrateful? Is Osimhen paying anybody's bills?? Osimhen should be grateful for getting the opportunity to play for his country. This is a boy who was a hawker.

Nigeria made Osimhen not the other way around. Again, Osimhen needs to up his game. He has been poor in front of goal and his ball control needs serious work

with this, I don't need to reply him again

Nigerians should be grateful

Was it not the same Nigeria that gave Osimhen the platform to shine as a teenager?

Some of una sef??

Benching Osimhen would make Nigeria actually win comfortably

Emmy450:
osimhen??

Omo you guys are very very ungrateful.
Every other African side would wish for a player of his caliber,. That is who most of you here are trash talking!!

No be una fault I swear

Oga, at this point, let them have him. He is making Super Eagles games to be too close for comfort abeg

If una like, make una insult me. Na una way be that

Someone dropped a post here how the SE have created the lost big chances of any team despite not even playing an attacking style of football and psimhen as SE top 9 can only convert 1 yet Nigerians should just keep quiet and.manage it like that. Omo make una rest!!

Even Drogba would not play this bad for a long stretch of games. You think if he continues like this, even Chelsea would want him? Dey play

chrisooblog:
Learn to appreciate some people's little efforts. Without Osimhen it's unlikely we would have gotten to this stage but you're complaining because we're not winning matches by cricket scorelines.

Nope

Tbh, I even predicted the SE to leave in the group stages

But think about it. Do you think osimhen would've scored that lookman's goal against Angola?

He would be too eager and would baloon it over the top bar. I've noticed that about him

Hustle can I ly take you to a certain point and after that m, as a striker you would need to be clinical. If he does this nonsense in the PL, he would be benched after 2 games irrespective of how much was spent to buy him. He is even a black man again and they won't have as much patience. Ask nunes that's even south American.

You people should talk true.nobody will shoot you. Odimhen has been wack this tourney. Even Gift orban will score most of those chances he missed you can't tell me that KC Nacho isn't a better finisher or doesn't have better most off the ball

You people should remove sentiments. SA game is one where the SE can't afford to miss chances . Their defence is equally disciplined.no wahala. Na here we dey

chrisooblog:
If it's the same formation I don't see how Moffi or Iheanacho would start ahead of Osimhen except for injuries.

I agree with you that we need a plan B to bring out the attacking talents of our players but singling out Osimhen is laughable.

Victor's presence, pressing and overall hustle is why we are today contemplating a place in the AFCON final.

Thank God you already confirmed you don't rate him that much so I don't take your opinions of him to heart.

All the players with 'market value' have gone home, the same one whose value will drop is still going strong.

And please stop with this capping about world class players not performing poorly at tournaments. Messi, CR7, Thierry Henry to mention a few have at one time or the other played poorly at major competitions for their countries.

I have confidence Osimhen will prove you wrong as usual like he did when you expressed doubt him winning the AFOTY.

Please when it happens maintain the same energy don't come and be shining saying he has proved you wrong.

I am actually hoping he proves me wrong

And learn to read without emotional sentiments attached

I have no I'll will towards the lad but he is a major reason the SE have Struggles to win 2:0 in most games

An unpopular opinion ion would be to start moffi or KC ahead of osimhen

SE profligacy is primarily his fault.

I don't hate him mind you although I'm not a huge fan.

His market value is sure to drop after this afcon and he really needs to work on his finishing and positioning. His movement off the ball too because he has the most offside for the SE even more than a retired ighalo.

I see many arsenal fans saying they don't want him again because they feel he is too profligate and they would prefer an Ivan tone to him. A very painfully true take nonetheless

Jpes needs to test other strikers or atleast sub osimhen out early on. I mean a supposed world class striker can't be this bad in front of goal now

SE can't afford to be profligate vs SA . These guys havenconfidence in their goalie and would be looking to drag into penalties

I know insults would start pouring in soon. I am ready

SA will be the SE toughest game yet

Similar stingy defense, good GK and then to top it off 8 of their starters play in the same team (Sundowns), so there's team chemistry

Won't be easy

Odunayaw:
So they wont have the same number of clean sheets as us abi

I'm even glad there is extra time. Advantage for us

Yes Exactly

Hopefully, their players are more fatigued too before we meet (if they win)

Odunayaw:
Two

i just need them to concede again in this match even if they end up winning

Setaleonoz:
Sexy penetrating pass 🤣🤣

Sorry, how many goals has SA conceded so far in this tourney?

Does anyone know?

Coach dey cry, you dey pour water for him head

This AFCON sweet pass UEFA champions league

Elijah Adebayo with a goal

Nathan Tella (Leverkusen) - 2 goals

Maduka Okoye (Udinese) - Another clean sheet

Gabriel Osho (Luton) - 1 goal

Baddestguyp:
More updates

Fans gonna have a field day

I knew they were going to mess it up

Even the acting from the trailers were terrible

Not surprised

Couldn't they get indian american and asian kid actors so the cast could be good?

It's really funny. They messed a good franchise up

Make una no vex abeg

bisqit:

Koboko99:
“Foreign born players are too soft and don’t have the physicality for African Gidigbo football”

I hope you guys can see what the foreign born players are doing for us at AFCON. Now we can finally die that silly take

Kog45:
Hmm 50 times better than Ajayi?

He is better than Ajayi but not as much as that though

Was Osimhen really offside though?

Odunayaw:
Here na opposite

lbrichman2:
Ekong bus stop!!

If naija wins, player of the tourney has to be one of the defenders

charlesemeka85:
u Dey mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not going to drag osimhen

But...

His work rate and dedication is 100% but his decision making and intelligence as a striker is zero..

My heart has been in my mouth since morning

God thank you

charlesemeka85:
hmmmmm, my hand no dey ooo

I’m predicting 3-0 and Osimhen to score

I do am for that guy wey talk say him wan invoke gods

bisqit:
if I see any see any ridiculous scoreline here again, I will invoke the gods

NIGERIA 6:0 ANGOLA

Amedino99:
it's never stopped real Madrid fans.

Loll

Those ones na case
