NIGHTMARE0O7:
"Otuniness" ke
Una no go kee me

Walahi!! Myself wan laugh tire when moderator dropped the shell.

Carry Chukwuemeka should be lured to play for SE. He is a natural CM and AMF. Iwobi can't do the job well.

Cocony:
This thread is for objective football discussions. I have no benefit engaging you in any discussion cos you have a glaring bias. Do well like TheSuperNerd to block me off your conversations such bias individuals like you don't deserve my attention.

See this one. What is objective about your personal opinion?

You place yourself high above your value. Come down.

Nobody is objective in psychology.

Now, you claim Osimhen is indispensable. What about if he has injury or lose form or on suspension?

That's called extraneous variables that can alter your "objective" opinion.

My friend, Nobody is indispensable due to factors in football. Maybe you are a newbie to this industry. Welcome.

Ihenzy:
Because of Awoniyi 4 goals na him you type this long epistle?

I'm speaking as regards general play and impact on the pitch

General play without data?abegi.

Cocony:
That is meant for you and other yes yes non-objective supporters.

Are you objective?

Don't deceive yourself.

N:B nobody is clamoring for Awoniyi now. I am just debunking lies.

I watched the Benin match again but I no see the otuniness wey dem talk about Olusegun.

Of course, I am not clamoring for him ooo. Though I noticed he he won the Russian league with his team last season to get the attention but I don't know his contribution. I will find out myself because I don't believe some people here.

Moreover, when Iwobi moved into the attacking midfield after Onye entered, he was poor.

His ball control and passes were atrocious.

We need a better AMF with good ball control and an eye for tailored passes.

Ihenzy:
To be honest anyone canvassing for Awoniyi is just playing double standard. Cos there is no difference between him, Onauchu, Sadiq, Simmy, Victor Boniface.

Even Moffi is more reliable than him

How can you claim Moffi is more reliable than Awoniyi with 4 goals in 799 minutes after 19 matches?

Awoniyi on the other hand played 426 minutes and had 2 goals in 10 matches. Do that stats look like Moffi is more reliable than Awoniyi?

You are also wrong about Awoniyi being on the same level with Boniface andOnuachu

Boniface with 655 minutes in 13 caps score only 1 goal. How does that look same?

Onuachu own worst pass. Only 3 goals in 25 matches with 797 minutes. How are they the same?

Simmy didn't get more chances though.

Cocony:
Lookman what? Only Osimhen is untouchable.

Dey deceive yourself.

junnyjake:
I can't forget Awoniyi missing an open net in our first leg game against Zimbabwe.

He hasn't shown that he's a reliable backup.

Did Awoniyi play against Zimbabwe?

TheSuperNerd:
Awo had a full tournament to blossom by just his 2nd cap. His 2nd, 3rd and 4th caps came at a major tournament. He was the main man. Those are chances and repainting them however u wish will not change that fact.

I have forgotten we count by major tournament not by minutes. Continue.

chrisooblog:
So in football penalties are counted as assists? interesting.

Nobody is dragging your L with you na you dey find wetin no loss.

Despite shaming you with facts, you still never accept your L. Na wa ooo.

Why you dey ask me jambite question? Ask Google.

chrisooblog:
Osimhen only assisted once, he won two penalties so I doubt this sneaky way you're trying to wiggle your way out of this.

Maybe you are the sneaky one. Chop your L in peace and admit you are wrong. Nobody go beat you.

chrisooblog:
Answer the question did you lie on the bold? Yes or No.

forgiveness:
We should not forget Osimhen struggled to score in the first 5 matches he played but was still given chances upon chances before he picked up.

How many goals did he score in AFCON? He scored once and assisted 3 times.

The problem with Nigeria is, once you are a fan favorite, no matter what you play, you will still be given chances upon chances.

Awoniyi didn't enjoy the grace Osimhen enjoyed when he was inform.

For Osimhen, the patient eventually paid.

You are being delusional. Only you. Stop dragging others into this disgraceful act of yours.

Osimhen scored 1 goal and had 3 assists in the last AFCON not Awoniyi.

Your eyes dey see wetin nobody write. Clear your eyes, please.

chrisooblog:
Na your twin brother write this?

Is Awoniyi the subject of discussion? Stop disgracing yourself here.

Osimhen was the subject of discussion and continued into the second paragraph.

chrisooblog:
You lied that Awoniyi had 3 assists at the 2021 AFCON to sweeten your agenda and you were duty exposed so why all this crying all over the place?

Who told you Awoniyi had 3 assists? Maybe you need to read carefully again and again until you grasp.

TheSuperNerd:
Awoniyi started 4 of his first 7 NT Caps.

He ended up starting 50% of his NT caps. 5 out of 10.

Awo got his chances. Especially at a full tournament... Afcon 2021. So you are trying to rewrite history as if he was not given chances.

Osimhen played 214 minutes without scoring a single goal. It took him 215 minutes to score his first goal in his 7th match.

Awoniyi played 161 minutes without scoring a goal. He eventually scored in his 162 minutes in his 3rd game.

Osimhen had only 1 goal after 388 minutes. He scored his 2nd goal for SE after playing 389 minutes via penalty. This happened to be his 9th caps for SE.

However, Awoniyi had 1 goal after 336 minutes but scored his 2nd goal after 337 minutes which was his 7th game for SE.

Who had more chances to blossom?

chrisooblog:
Awoniyi hate!? Forgiveness you don start again.

Taiwo is a player who I admire for his faith, humility and doggedness but my bias for him shouldn't cloud my reasoning about how he has performed for the national team.

Awoniyi has 10 caps more than enough to show what he's capable of and every fair supporter will say he has been average so far with the SE.

So using Osimhen as a cover to excuse Taiwo's average performances so far for the national team will not fly. Other forwards don't have stellar numbers and have been criticized why should Awoniyi be excused.

Victor has been performing let Awoniyi up his game so that everyone will hail him instead of using agenda and shalaye to cover for him.

Is it a lie Osimhen scored his first goal after 6 caps?

Awoniyi scored after 3 cap.

Is it a lie Osimhen scored 2 goals after 9 caps while Awoniyi scored 2 goals after 10 caps?

Na lie?

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen scored on his 6th cap, Oga. And that 6th cap was his 2nd NT start. So dont make it look like Osimhen didnt take his chances too.

7th cap came vs Brazil. He started. His 3rd NT start.

He scored again on his 8th cap vs Benin in an Afcon Qualifiers. His 4th NT start.

His 9th Cap was his 5th NT start and he bagged 2 goals and 2 assists.

I say facts. You should know me by now.

He took his chance after 7 games. No complain. Just love.

Person wey get invited even when e no do shingbin for club.

chrisooblog:
Awoniyi has 10 caps more than enough to show what he's about however I don't think his problem has been opportunity but injuries.

Nigeria is currently blessed with so many forwards that when Awoniyi is missing due to injury other forwards come in.

The competition for places in the striking department for anyone not named Osimhen is pretty intense that if you don't shine immediately you will lose your place. Guys like Sadiq, Onuachu, Moffi, Dessers, Tolu have struggled for game time in the SE with varying levels of effectiveness when they play.

The bottom line is no matter your status as a forward in club football if you don't make an instant impact with the national team you will be dropped for another option.

Don't forget that Awoniyi was part of the line up that failed to score against Lesotho including Boniface who is the only one you can argue was given very long rope.

Osimhen played 6 games without scoring a goal.

He managed to score 2 goals in his 9th caps before he picked up.

We should stop using double standards here.

We should have said the 9 caps were enough for him to prove himself.

While Osimhen received love and positive impulse. Awoniyi received hate and bad impulse.

This matters alot because it shapes behaviors in a positive or negative reaction.

The same thing Boniface will receive if he is called tomorrow. Yes love.

Amedino99:
Since we only need to win the semi final in the intercontinental play off to pick a ticket, why is the final still necessary for us to play. E go come with trophy?

I thought only 2 slots are remaining.

There are 2 finals. Only the winners of each finals will qualifier.

chrisooblog:
Loss of form and injuries.

Taiwo just never quite grabbed his opportunity when he was chosen to start.

In 2021 he was our main striker at the AFCON yet he didn't make an impact. Hasn't scored much in other matches.

Seriously one of the forwards has to step up to ease the burden on Osimhen.

Even during Yekini's time Amokachi, Siasia, Amuneke helped out with crucial goals.

We should not forget Osimhen struggled to score in the first 5 matches he played but was still given chances upon chances before he picked up.

How many goals did he score in AFCON? He scored once and assisted 3 times.

The problem with Nigeria is, once you are a fan favorite, no matter what you play, you will still be given chances upon chances.

Awoniyi didn't enjoy the grace Osimhen enjoyed when he was inform.

For Osimhen, the patient eventually paid.

TheSuperNerd:
Relax my good man. I don clear our amiable mod on that one. Lol

Not only did the Modakele High Chief reach final, he faced a powerful, World Cup Team in Cameroun. Two yrs before that final, Cameroun had already debuted at the WC. Na Emmanuel Kunde, Theophile Abega, and Thomas Nkono we face ooo. We even try score sef. 3-1 na im we collect.

1984 is the only afcon final wey I gree say Cameroun pass us. They won deservedly.

Thanks for reminding him.

semid4lyfe:
Dem never borne me the time wey hin win AFCON silver so that one no concern me.

I followed keenly the 2002 Nations Cup, and I can never forgive him for the role he played in that tournament that led to the sack of Amodu Shuaibu and the subsequent dropping of key players that worked hard to qualify the Super Eagles for the World Cup against all odds.

We that were already born then appreciate him for that. He gave us a true legend that won us AFCON with motm performance.

The 2002 players were rightly dropped in my own opinion.

semid4lyfe:
Finidi George and that Modakeke Chief that used to wear Abacha shades are dragging for the worst coaches of the Super Eagles ever.

Unlike Finidi, Modakeke chief took Nigeria to the finals of AFCON and also discovered Yekini.

How can he be among the worst?

Ragingthunder:
why avoid them,on current form gabon is better

Hmmm!!!

E don set.

Elock1:
Chief I didn't single out anybody, I have the right to make a comment like every other fan
And I just commented on my observations.

I talked about Nwabali, Ekong,Simon as well but why are you all getting emotional about Lookman.

he has been rusty that doesn't make him bad.
So give me a break.

I didn't see your post on Simon else I would have countered it.

Despite Nwabali error, he saved us today with his saves.

charlesemeka85:
very tactical and only folks that understands the game will notice this

Chelle’s tactics worked perfectly well as he hoped, also that early goal was a big morale boaster

Chelle focused on exposing Benin’s highline with through long balls and cross into the box from the wing and it paid.

Once they are without the ball, they defended deep into their half.

When I saw the way they started playing, I said this coach no press today ooo. I just felt at ease.

Elock1:
How you interpret it, is up to you chief

Just stating what I saw... Today's movement was more fluid with no one hugging the ball down, moving to the left and delays passes

Everyone has their own style of play doesn't necessarily means they play badly

The bolded explanation proofs today's game plan has nothing to do with the players.

Why single out Lookman? Na Lookman bi coach we dey do press?

Today, they allowed Benin to play while they countered and played long balls.

Today's game is tactical not about hugging ball or not.

mank1234:
Upcoming October FIFA ranking will be used and not position on the playoff log.

You are right.

Elock1:
I'm not being unfair.

I'm just stating what I saw
LOOKMAN is a good player, but today in his absence we played better

There Was no much hanging unto the ball for long and releasing some passes a little bit late.

Lookman is good but he has been rusty lately but it doesn't mean he wouldn't get better.

Meaning, whenever he played we played badly. Weldone.

minfelix:
Guys wait ooo😂😂
Senegal 21pts
DRC 19pts

what if senegal loses and Drc win, wont that make senegal second and further pushing aside Nigeria?🤣🤣🤣 abeg n question i ask ooo

Nigeria has qualified

May we pray Senegal no mess up ooo.

However, they actually need the win badly.

I don't think they want to play in playoffs.
