Amedino99: club wey get Jackson as striker no dey convinced about osimhen. Dem suppose add comedy for this thread title make we sabi we sabi wetin we dey enjoy for here.
Blueelf: So people are beginning to see how overrated osimhen is o the point where Chelsea fans are saying they don't want him again and would rather stick with Jackson
I will pick someone that won the NPFL over Amunike that won just the under 17. Fumbled with the under 20 and achieve no impressive results in Egypt and Zambia.
If Finidi can manage Enyimba and at least achieve top 3 he probably would've done better in Zambia with Zonaco and in Egypt too. Those clubs are top clubs but Amunike almost finish them
baba rest with these your extrapolations. There is no basis for this. You think winning under 17 na beans? Nff has picked who they feel will get the job done. That doesn't mean he is tactically better than Amunike. Your writeup clearly lacks objectivity.
TheGoodJoe: I am not vexed at all and come on, Real Madrid were awful. There is nothing to praise or celebrate about it. They won, they were lucky. It had nothing to do with tactics. They knew they'd were going against a superior opponent and decided to seat back, hoping they win.
what does that tell you? They are smarter. It shows adaptability. It mustnt be possession all the time. Even the city attacking thing is becoming boring in my eyes. Every game has its dynamics.
Pidginwhisper: He’s right sha, as terrible as Chelsea is right now dem go damage that Leverkusen team, and Over4.5 is sure, if they were playing in Europa, final is certain for them.
hahahahaha haha. Story. Chelsea cannot scratch that team.
komekn: Have you tried picking up a suitcase you assumed to be heavy only to find it's empty,it will almost cause you to fall over.
VO attacks the ball with a big aggressive leap anticipating a shoulder challenge , but he barged thin air defender the no. 4 was static no challenge, nothing, it almost caused VO a very serious injury.
The jump 🦘 is accentuated by the defender standing and doing nothing.
hahahahaha a. Another big reason you never played the game. Baba stop exposing your self nah. I don dey shame for you.na wa ooo.
Marjoribanks: Morocco decided to give Zambia the ticket cos what are those misses!
Super Falcons almost did same in Abuja. Missing sitters upon sitters. This Super Falcon team is super complete. The midfield alone is fire-- (Ayinde, Abiodun, Echejini, Payne, and Uchiebe). Okereke played the Ashley's role exceptionally well. It is scary to think we almost demolish the African Champion with a makeshift defense over two legs.
that echiegini is a baller. What a player. She dey give this Iwobi vibes on the ball. Crisp passes
mrwilliams9: I went and looked at the numbers so people will not say I’m doing bad belle.
Osimhen has played 26 games for Napoli across all comps this season and has been caught offside 39 times, averaging about 1.5 offsides per match. He has only failed to be caught offside in 5 clubs matches.
1. Against Udinese when he was subbed in at the 63’ min 2. Against Leece where he was subbed in at HT 3. Against Frosinone when he was subbed in at the 63’ min 4. The first leg against Real Madrid in UCL 5. Against Roma where he received a red card.
It’s only the game against Real Madrid that he played a full 90 min without straying offside.
Osimhen played 7 matches during AFCON and was caught offside 10 times, averaging 1.43 offsides per match. The only game he did not stray offside was the GS match against CIV.
If I compare against Martinez who is current top scorer in Serie A. He has played 38 matches for Inter in all comps and has been caught offside 10 times, averaging 0.26 offsides per match.
I know offsides is partially dependent on the intelligence of your teammates to make the pass early/on-time but the numbers are there for all to see. Osimhen gets caught offsides far too often.
this guy dey find relevance. Ignore this nonsense writeup.
komekn: There is absolutely nothing great about that goal a goal yes but great No. You are over gassing it.
The number 4 for Monza is an absolute joke, he stands like his watching traffic he doesn't even jump for th ball or even try to defend and or intercept the cross.
It's shocking abysmal defending it caused VO to almost injure himself as he anticipated a challenge but there was none whatsoever.
Good goal 🥅 for VO but shambolic defending by Monza.
komekn: How long was Ndidi in the Belgium league before coming to the EPL ❓
How long was Haaland in a Nordic League before Bundesliga and now EPL.
How can a supremely technical player be playing in the Belgium league for two seasons after two seasons in the Nordic Leagues.
Don't you think you are over gassing it.
I just watched a 18 year-old Kobe Mainoo against Liverpool and nobody called him supremely technical player but we call Ralph that.
This over hype 😄 doesn't allow for objective appraisal.
who is currently better than him in super eagles? Or do you have anyone better? Onyedika is a technical player. His move will come oga. He mustn't play in Epl. Belguim is not even moi moi. Respect the talent.
forgiveness: This is the beginning of man know man selective selection. Finidi don show em colour by not giving those players chances because he feared they might perform and reduce the chances of his boys. Kkkkkkkk
hmmm. The way you form assumptions effortlessly. I trowey salute. Hmmm. Abeg just reason wetin you write.
TheSuperNerd: Amunike utilised a Deep lying playmaker model at U17 level. A bold and risky move that paid off. He played a lad with the skillset of a #10 as a deep-lying maestro. That is the man you say don't know how to experiment??
Onyedika's CDM profile is similar in certain attributes to that of a DLP but the difference that a DLP is far more eagle-eyed, far more creative, dictate plays better and less concerned with defensive duties compared to the Holding MF CDM Onyedika-type.
So there is no way Amunike won't see the need to utilise Onyedika's skills set either as a single pivot or in a double pivot or even a false double pivot as he exhibited in the U17s and U20s.
baba leave medicine for us just enter coaching. You are good
komekn: One match doesn't make a player but a collection of consistent outstanding top level performances.
One good match is not enough to displace player who has been consistently better.
I agree. But the young man has maintained consistency. His statistics are there for all to see. Yes he has His flaws but statistically he is a top player. My issue is simple, people that use sofa score analysis to rant in this forum when in the real sense they didn't watch the match or even maybe watched a well analysed highlight.
komekn: Instead of to accept the constructive criticism you deflect the blame to his team mates.
When the midfielders were giving him the ball last season they were called excellent noe they are at fault.
baba what is so constructive about the criticism? Did you watch the match? I based my submission on concrete evidence. His analysis was totally far from what happened. You can engage me if you truly watched that game or maintain silence.
mrwilliams9: Osimhen had 2-3 good chances to score today. He really needs to improve his 1v1 finishing and offside awareness. I don’t think I’ve seen him go a game without getting caught offside. Got caught off 2x today.
you no see his timely runs which even the commentator mentioned. Baba see, this offside thing is also dependent on how fast his teammates release the ball. Their midfielders like rubbing the ball which is very bad for a fast striker like osihmen. You no dey see man city and quick transition? . A second is enough to get u trapped in an offside position. Osihmen is a fast player. Make una stop all these. The guy is definitely working on his limitation. Today all his runs were well timed. I watched the match.
Napoleon55: it doesn't matter,July is not far, even if it means sacrifice going to to the next world cup as long as we get a good tactician. With Renard we stand good chance of winning one AFCON and qualifying for WC within five years.
hmmm. Sacrifice what? Two consecutive world cup appearances. No way. He should concentrate on his Olympics. There are other coaches that can do the job.
Kog45: Dennis a very good player with ego and attitude,nothing more so coaches find such players difficult to deal with.Don’t be surprised seeing him fallen out with Watford management before the end of the season.
charlesemeka85: Emmanuel Amuneke may be a popular choice to be named the next Super Eagles coach, but a top official has told SCORENigeria that several factors may work against him including what happened in his last stint with the national team.
It was alleged that the former FC Barcelona winger worked in cross purposes with Augustine Eguavoen when he was drafted to the Super Eagles to assist for Nigeria to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
“Rather than help Eguavoen, he practically sabotaged him and as they say, the rest is history as Nigeria failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar,” the top official told SCORENigeria
“Those who will decide his fate were very much part of the system even then and they have not forgotten.”
Those who support Amuneke as the next Super Eagles coach have also advanced the argument that he will bring out the best of Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze, two players who he first gave their international breakthroughs at U17 level.
“Who says Osimhen and Chukwueze still want to work with Amuneke?” the official asked.
“A lot of things have happened between the time they played for him in the Golden Eaglets and now when they are grown men.”
It would also be recalled that the former Tanzania coach was embroiled in controversy over the dominance of fellow Igbo players in his team when he led Nigeria to win a record fifth U17 World Cup in Chile in 2015.
A section of the media even dubbed the Golden Eaglets under his watch then as “Biafra FC”.
total nonsense. Anything to discredit the man. Sabotage how? This country self.
