Ok sir, "in house noisemakers" got it 🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
Emmy, you insult the actual inhouse analysts here by saying this. No true analyst of this thread would make such comment. Everyone that did say that nonsense is just a "reactionary" mouth breather. And I know some of the folks that uttered that rubbish. Disgusting stance it was.

So abeg, no call them analysts. Noisemakers seems better.

do4luv14:
No dey sorry for am, e pass 5 wey he for pack,

You see that Osimhen selfless service to Akor for the second goal?? If na Akor he will go for goal himself,

That's why he missed that first chance with Osimhen open and begging for a pass

I refuse to speak

Setaleonoz:
Na osimhen come dey separate fight

Give him the captain armband

Irony of life

🤣🤣🤣 i love all this iwobi complements, keep them coming

isan:
Nigeria smuggled fabregas into AFCON and call him iwobi

oloriooko:
What is wrong is always wrong but we still love him even though we spanked him for the unnecessary spat with Mola and his decision to start strolling on the pitch calling to be subbed

He redeemed himself massively today making us sparkle against our big foe

pointing out his wrongs and constructively correcting him is fair, but turning it into hatred as some people did here was very bad, some people even clamoured for him to be dropped to the bench.

orriyomi33:
Imagine benching Osimhen today for a spat that had been settled all in the name of teaching him a lesson.😦

no mind our in house analysts 🤣

Joebie:
Can we just hand a new title to Iwobi -- Orchestrator-in-Chief

I support this post with two bottles

Osimhen this, Osimhen that. How e be una for body now

Nigeria champions in the making

Nehruvia:
I don't know why but I'm getting this same weird feeling I had before we faced DRC in Rabat last month. It also doesn't help that just like last month, we had this same bonus row issue before those playoffs games.

I feel like these players are going to experience a dip in form on Saturday. I'm mentally preparing myself for a loss and to move on from this AFCON after this weekend.

that one consign you, all I know is we're wining by at least 2 goals margin (3:1/4:2)

Bannedlargejr:
This is now Jazz. Lookman should had assisted osimhnen to publicly berate a Grown man (Bruno) because he tried to score in a game that Nigeria is winning 3-0 and Lookman should had done that publicly?? I am arguing with Low IQ people or People has been jazzed. Any ways, the standards has been set for everyone disrespect your teammates when things doesn’t go your way and anyone that says otherwise will personally be pounced here by Me

REST!!

Meliforme:
Regarding Osimhen and Lookman's saga

Lookman's behaviour towards Osimhen is like administering Paracetamol (an analgesic) as a cure for Malaria.

Lookman should have joined in the cautioning of Bruno and the entire team, instead of providing a dissent making it look like Osimhen doesn't know what he is saying.

Lookman did not attack the real problem. This made Osimhen more upset.

Osimhen's emphasis was on teamplay. Lookman's was leaning towards glory hunting.
The number of goals Osimhen has scored should not banish teamplay.

Lookman's words lacked compassion and real comfort.
He is more deserving of the stick.

I believe that every professional should be educated in the principles of conflict resolution, so that they can settle conflicts without exacerbating it.

perfectly said 👏

It is annoying, during the last AFCON, 1/2 players were alway on Osimhen because of his constant high press, there by creating freedom for other forwards specifically Lookman to do his magic. But Nigerians choose to have selective amnesia because it's Osimhen.. ungrateful people

TheSuperNerd:
You need not mention the offside goals since they were ruled out.

I once argued it here that Osimhen was far more influential at the last Afcon than anyone but it was still debated and reduced to "Yes Men" Chants as a way of making it seem like Lookman's contributions was being downplayed.

Jose Peseiro's Ultra defensive system would have made no sense in the grand scale of things if the attack did not function. If Osimhen didnt play his role well as the attacking arrowhead of a defensive system, leading the press and all, JPes' defensive approach would have left us toothless.

Skip the game he scored in.

Vs CIV... his charge at the CIV defence won us the winning penalty.

Vs Cameroun in RO16... his charge at the Cameroonian backline fed Ademola for that morale lifting first goal

Vs Angola in the Quarters... he kept pushing and pushing. His foray upfront even dragged a few defenders with him for Lookman to come into the space and convert for our winner. He scored too but as you know, it was ruled out by the slightest of margins.

Vs South Africa in Semis... His Charge against the SA Defence again won us another penalty.

The guy kept digging within himself and fighting on all fronts, upfront to keep us threat-worthy on that end of the pitch. And he didnt slack defensively either.

But this came to take its toll in the final. Not just on Osimhen but on everyone eventually. That system took a lot from the players causing the turnover in the final.

ChrisKels:
This your statement is off.

Osimhen was the man in Ivory Coast. Dude tore himself apart for Lookman and the team to soar.

exactly

M7even:
Lookman was out of form . Same way Osimhen was at the last AFCON in ivory coast where he scored 1 goal.

As a Nigerian striker in AFCON you should be scoring 4 to 5 goals in the tournament. Ighalo did it in 2019. But when you want to talk you'd say work rate. As if work rate is the primary obligation of a striker. Then you'd make room for excuses on his blunders and misses, as well as his offside awareness. Nobody is perfect including king Osimhen

same AFCON where Osimhen played his heart out for Nigeria?, you had to reduce it to just one goal scored?? Mind you 3 of his goals were ruled out oh ,
person way no watch 2023 AFCON go don believe this your one sided analogy.

BankyGee:
Gala deserve him more o, they paid huge money for him and pay him massive wages and still respect him. Nigerian fans treat him with mad contempt when he's the catalyst and stabilizer of the team. I need him to retire after this AFCON on God. 25 years them no go see striker like Osimhen again.

I can swear that if Lookman was on two goals and Osimhen won a penalty, he'd give the ball to Lookman to complete his hat-trick, not say "you're already on two goals".

Even those statistics you even posted, Osimhen, a centre-forward, has 12 chances created and you don't feel he's actually intentional about teamwork?

real matters

ChrisKels:
I should not be saying this because I don't like putting a player down to praise another, but this guy is better than Igoh Ogbu, Awaziem and Ajayi.

hmmm

West Africa VS north Africa, let's go

Odunayaw:
I can't take anyone seriously who downplays the value of Osimhen to the team in order to criticize (which is fine btw) the outburst today.

Y'all are as emotional as the emotional person you're correcting.

exactly

WarHammer2000:
NFF created this nonsense when they condoned Osimhen's public rant on Finidi, a national team coach and a true Super Eagles legend o!

Osimhen even openly said he doesn't care if he never gets called up again to the SE as a result of insulting Finidi. Imagine person wey for dey Olusosun dey hawk gala if not for NFF wey put am for U-17.

Once you see poor man from poor family with poor education wey mistakenly see small money, you must know.

what is this nonsense?? SMH

lbrichman2:
He was warning Lookman
I support abeg

I believe he was pointing out what bright osai did

Osimhen abeg now!! Haba

Lookman X Osimhen a combination made in heaven

Iwobii!!!!!!, boy oh boy 🔥 🔥

Alex iwobi!!!! What a player 🔥 🔥

teelord1:
He will still bring in Simon, it like Simon get him nude….

Simon have been good in this AFCOAN, cut him some slack.

too bad, a top player that never was.

Mali are in the quarters
What a game🔥 🔥

Cry today, cry tomorrow, cry forever

BodyCount:
Y'all will continue to be daft and defend impunity at all cost because it has not affected you.
So for your mind now, USA is clean and they're the police of the world?
They can invade any sovereign country that won't have enough strength to fight back, bomb them indiscriminately, and kidnap their leaders indiscriminately?
Can USA dare do this to China or Russia?
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT USA HAVE KILLED THIS MORNING IN THIS BOMBING?
If this was done to a Muslim country, you people would have been using the narratives of Islamic terrorists, right?
Just as you defended what those terrorists did to Palestinians, but you can cry that Russia is doing genocide to Ukraine...
Don't worry, karma exists... It'll one day be your turn and come to your doorstep.

1:1. Game on

Penalty
