The problem with sentimental Nigerians is that they like to trivalize others achievements then when you say something contrary to their believe, you become a hater even if you actually like that person. I watched how people trivalize Tammy Abraham 15 goals last season at the big 3. "It's only 15 goals" are the same ones...........

My broda, at the highest level you have to Differentiate The boys from the men, democrats from Republicans, Rich vs poor, the wealthy vs the rich, Apc vs Pdp, etc that's how we know how to Rate a player. Foe example, A Nigerian scoring 100 goals in Indian league a season is an equivalent of scoring 40 goals in a farmer's league and 10 goals in EPL. You see the difference my guy?

I like this guy cool

Such takes sef.

The average age of that Man Utd starting XI was 25.2 yrs while Leicester's was 26.6 yrs. They were literally matched age wise.

Man Utd paraded two highly rated 19 yr olds (Amad & Greenwood) and two 20 yr olds Brandon and Elanga.

Leicester also paraded 19 y/o Luke Thomas & a very rated 20 y/o Wesley Fofana.

The average age of Manchester Utd's CB pair in the game was 25 yrs while that of Leicester was 22 yrs. Johnny Evans is still out injured.

Also, the average age of Man Utd's midfield was 29.6 yrs but Leicester's was 24 yrs.

U-18 Man Utd?? Very misleading info even from a place of attempted sarcasm or whatever you wish to call that.

Also, Man Utd have a far deeper and richer squad than Leicester so they could afford to rest a good number of First XI players and still look strong on paper with their second string side (which they paraded today and not close to being U-18). Leicester cannot. They try it and they are gonna get fried. Cooked in fact!

Leicester have had poor games but so also have Man City this same season. Yet the latter just confirmed their EPL triumph thanks to Leicester's win.

Have you watched them in the last few games? Newcastle and Man U U-18 flogged them, they literally have no chance against Chelsea and Tottenham

They get a very good LB, another Quality Midfield player and another good CB and they are crazily good to go to even cause trouble in the UCL. They already have the Tools in Attack with Osimhen as the arrowhead.

Osimhen should do and enter this goal fest o

Like I have always said. Everything about being the complete striker package is not just about goals alone. It's about goals, presence, impact and much more.

Watching that game closely shows again how easily Napoli tears apart a team thanks to the penetrative movements of Osimhen. The ease at which he opens up defences with his constant runnings and speedy movements to escape the defensive press.
As a mobile pressing forward, he also gets into positions sometimes too quickly which explains why he could miss chances sometimes and from time to time but in the end, lad still bags and creates opportunities for others to bag.

He was responsible for two of Napoli's goals in that win before being taken off.

His sweet touch from that Zielinski headed pass and swift turn to escape the press of the defender is not talked about enough. Beautiful movement to open up that defence. The keeper did well to cover the angle but the rebound was met by Zielinski eventually. 1-0.

The third goal scored by Lozano was all thanks to the crazy pressing of Osimhen. He made the GK give away the ball without picking his pass properly and Lozano pounced and did the rest.

In summary, Osimhen created 3 chances today and also created a big chance. Had 100% passing accuracy as well. Didn't misplace his passes. Linked up to near perfection too.
A pressing forward who never stops running, who never tires of haggling the opposition both in his own half and in the final third, who scores and who also creates chances and openings for teammates with his hold up plays, link up plays and movements.

Certain Expert analysts of the Serie A see all these and here is one to just confirm what I say. because if it came from me, una go call am the "usual hype talk of Nerdie" but it is coming from an Italian expert of the Serie A itself.

This is from today's game (i.e. Yesterday - May 11 vs Udinese).

I wished so too Marvellous Basco. But it's okay. He did just enough and they won big.

Now, up next is a date with Fiorentina who parade a lad that like Osimhen is seen as another rising top young striker, Dusan Vlahovic. wink

A keen battle to watch.

Well I wish I he would have been allowed to get his goal but he is still clearly the man of the match.

if not that man united have already qualified for champions league and also resting players for the europa league final against villareal, it would have been a different game and man united would likely have won today.

Keep deceiving yourself. Osimehn might eventually score consistently but for 90 mil you want your strikers scoring consistently and not doing what you described. Yes, his all round game is okay but strikers main attributes is to score Goals especially for 90 mil.
