Onwards and upwards for Osimhen. PK improvement is there for all to see.

Just need improvements in 1v1s and offside awareness.

We heard you the first time na

Where that de law wey say Osimhen no fit play penalties??

Goke7:
Am shocked the way Gala is dominating! As if dem jazzed Ajax

Gala have momentum
That win against Liverpool was everything

Joebie:
Lookman - Osimhen is the perfect partnership if they play to complement each other.

They should both assist each other where necessary. if any of them is selfish it would reduce the other, because they are both top strikers in their own right.

Lookman only plays as top dog whenever Osimhen is not around..
When Osimhen is in the side, Lookman plays team ball

Bossoflife25:
If we are going to play 4-4-2. This will be my team

Osayi/Awaziem Federick Bassey Sanusi

Chukwu Onyeka/Onyedika Ndidi Moses/Iwobi

Lookman Osihmen

I have always stressed that Lookman is Osimhen's best partner in the SE..

Mujtahida:
BankyGee, shey you know that Osimhen does not really know how to play penalties? Sure, he scores but I'm not convinced that he really is a good penalty taker.

Then unlike Rashidi, he doesn't play shots. But he's got more than enough of other skill set to make up for that. For instance, he's deadly in the air. Very deadly.

Again, he presses. No, he doesn't press. He hunts like a predator.

Osimhen plays penalties very well..
Go watch his U-17 World cup goals
He's a wicked penalty taker

Ppogbae:
Gala investment finallybpaying off. Expect this to be the biggest sale in Turkish football history. Talk about a monumental return on investment!

Barca can't afford him

Hmmm

Might Osimhen be heading to Juventus next?
Spalleti helped develop him to his current level

jihday:
what do you think of him? Good enough for the SE? I think he got an invitation in the past or was a rumor?

He's consistent at least
Would have been a useful invite if we had friendlies to play
For now, we can't call him

Ragingthunder:
Jesus Christ this atalanta team is so trash wtf,last 4-5 games they have been woeful

They will struggle to finish in top 6

Meliforme:
I know the errors are on him.
But his partners are also to blame.

Bassey will place himself in good positions to receive passes, but will his partners do the same.
In the event of an onrushing opponent, the normal will be to step back and make it easier to get a pass from a teammate who is being closed down, but what did Bassey's colleague do?

Many times you are as good as your partner.

I will blame the entire defense line for those goals excluding the goalkeeper.

Very true @ the bolded

TheSuperNerd:
Benjamin Frederick and Vince Osuji dropping solid CB showings, RCB and LCB respectively in Belgium today.

The Present and the Future of the Super Eagles Backline.

Massive 🔥🔥

TheSuperNerd:
Rivers Utd now 2-0 up at HT.

2-1 lead on aggregate.

Let's go Rivers!!!

How much is 2.5kva

TheGoodJoe:
This is hilarious. Keep in mind Jay Jay was really young at that time and youthful exuberance will always play a part. Either way his quality is undeniable.

Proving my point once again

chrisooblog:
JJ i admire him but if I was the coach when he did that nonsense around the 3 minute mark in that video I for shoot am double barrel.

That's Okocha for you..
Equal ability to excite and frustrate in the same breath

TheGoodJoe:
Contrary to your take, Jay Jay Okocha was up there in talent and understanding with the likes of Xavi and Iniesta. Just that he did not play in the right system to bring the best out of him.

This clip below, will give you an idea. As much as I prefer Mikel Obi's approach to the game, no denying Okocha is the greatest footballing talent to play for the Super Eagles.

You just proved my point
End

Goke7:
No matter what we feel about okocha and I too have my reservations about him but he’s still our second top scorer in Afcon after Yekini. As a midfielder that’s massive and I think he will continue to have a shot in our best 11 ever until we see another midfielder overwhelming better.

True that..

BankyGee:
Victor Osimhen didn't even know he broke a record after the match 😂

- Burak Yılmaz'ı geçerek rekor kırdın.

Victor Osimhen: Gerçekten mi? Burak Yılmaz büyük bir efsane.

E no fit better for anybody wey say this guy get attitude issues! Ajeh 😂❣️❤️

Massive 🔥🔥

jihday:
you don’t know what you are talking about, I watched Okocha in real time I don’t need highlight

Lol
Ok then

jihday:
smh , some of you either didn’t watch super eagles in the early 2000 or na nostalgia dey do una, 2003-2005 if there’s no Okocha on the field we can as well call it a day, what do you mean by he held the team back?

Go watch any highlights of okocha, anyone at all, after you notice all the tricks and flicks, the next things you will notice is a lot of misplaced passes..
Unfortunately he only began to mature towards the end of his career..
Post any of his highlights here and prove me wrong

TheGoodJoe:
After review I think I will go with:

🔸Goal Keeper - Vincent Enyeama (1)
🔸Right Back - Ambrose (2)
🔸Left Back - Celestine Babayaro (3)
🔸Centre Back - Uche Okechukwu (5)
🔸Centre Back - Taribo West (6)
🔸Defensive Midfield - Sunday Oliseh (4)
🔸Box to Box Midfield - Onazi (8.)
🔸Attacking Midfield - Mikel Obi (10)
🔸Right Wing Forward - Finidi George (7)
🔸Left Wing Forward - Emmanuel Ammuneke (11)
🔸Centre Forward - Victor Osimhen (9)

I agree
I think okocha holds the team back in some way, even though he has great individual skills

Mujtahida:
If Osihmen is playing for Gala, we Super Eagles fans will be praying so he doesn't get injured.

If he's playing for Nigeria, gala fans will be praying for him not to get injured.

Yeah because of the way he plays

semid4lyfe:
Excellent. How about Bright Osayi and Fisayo Dele Bashiru?

Not yet

semid4lyfe:
Good news:

Olisa Ndah has recovered from injury and is back in training with Orlando Pirates.

Olisa Ndah and Igor Ogbu are back

TheLoneCitizen:

Body no be firewood

Kog45:
VICTOR OSIMHEN IN NIGERIA LEAGUE WILL START AHEAD OF Europe based Onuachu,Awoniyi,Moffi, Arokodare,Sadiq and Akor...abi Nwakaeme no shine for Turkish league,rating Osimhen no be league o the boy is extremely good

Amedino99:
That is how aina never played for ange because of injury.

Has Ange been sacked yet?

Update..
Yes he has
About time!
They should employ Sean Dyche ,the relegation specialist

BankyGee:
After the latest Transfermarkt update for the Premier League, Calvin Bassey got a +€3M rise that saw him hit €28M!
