Oh my good man Chris, Uzoho has been active. I just couldn't include his performance in the weekly round up because my guy have conceeded for the past two games. In their last game over the weekend he was in goal as usual in a 6-1 win. But no clean sheet meant I didn't have to give him a mention.

But don't worry, their overall season performance index is intact and still being updated till season is over.
At the end, I will post Everything on our Goalkeepers, Strikers and then some midfielders.

I haven't compiled the ones for defenders but that won't take much time when season end finally arrives.

ChrisKels:


You need to change your style a bit bro. The updates should not just be about those who scored, assisted or kept clean slates. Try to make it a kinda Naija players in action for their respective clubs in the top 10 leagues in Europe, then special mentions to stand out players who fall outside the top 10 leagues while putting out their stats. That 6-1 win for Zohos was an outstanding performance.

You must be very stupid to ask such a stupid question. Do I look like a beer parlour analyst to you. When I started analyzing games even on nairaland you were in the uvula. Please, respect yourself or come correct when addressing me because I didn't disrespect you

If you like try to make yourself feel good by discussing irrelevant stats like "first to score 10 goals" but in actual fact,
Edison cavani scored 26 seria A goals in 35 games in his 1st season at Napoli
And 5 goals in 8 games in europa league = 31 goals in 48 games in his First season. This is the type of stats that matter and ROI expected when signing a player for 90 Million not irrelevant nonsense you're ranting like "how many games it took to score 10 goals" discuss the end result (overall season stats) and compare it to the sign in fee. If our boy was an English man, you guys will voice your real opinions. I seen what yall said about Tammy Abraham last season

The matter of fact is that a player signed for 90 Million is expected to score more than 10 goals in 28 games a season. (Overall games) please, stop writing nonsense irrelevant stats. It was the same Nigerians that were trivalizing Tammy Abraham 15 epl goals last season that are trying to be understanding with 10 in 28 goals. Personally, osimehn has done Relatively ok (C) he didn't justify that 90 million pounds return 10 in 28 games (overall) neither did he Flopped.

TheSuperNerd:
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.

A keen battle to watch.

TheSuperNerd:


You actually are.

12large1:


Dont mind them. Whenever anyone goes contrary to their opinion, they think he is trying to be malicious when we're Nigerians and have Nigeria footballers as a common Interest.

12large1:


Why are you ignoring other games aside of seria A games? Stop mentioning stats that's beneficial to your argument and post the full stats.
10 in 22 Seria A games (Not bad) but for 90 Million Dollars, you're expected to score more
10 in 28 overall Games (Not good enough for 90 Million)

If osimehn is a back up striker that was signed for 20 Million, I will call this season A Huge Success. But, because of the Huge transfer Fee and G to G Ratio, I will rank Him a C. He didn't Flop neither was he Exceptional or justified that 90 Mil fee. The good side of it is his age, (22) and injuries sustained affected his Game to goal ratio. But, we must accept his weakness and he must work on his weakness. Stay calm in front of goal and stop missing sitters

TheSuperNerd:


This guy is delusional... Worse than I envisaged.

First of all, it was never an Osimhen vs Cavani debate. It was only a reference to show how good Osimhen have come this season despite the struggles. And I did leave a note stating that no one should misinterpret my original post because there will always be that someone who is not smart enough to get the message. And as always it turned out to be you. You really don't disappoint in showcasing silliness.


Now on Cavani and Osimhen's first Napoli seasons, One played 35 league games with 32 starts. In all, 42 starts from 47 games and had 33 goals + 7 assists. No injury nightmares. Plus that was not Cavani's first season in Serie A. Cavani have had 4 full seasons in Italy before he Joined Napoli.


But the other will finish "projectively" with 24 league games (16 starts). 30 games in all (19 starts). IN AN INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON. Also his first in Serie A.

But currently on 10 goals + 3 assists in 28 games (17 starts). 13 goals contributions in 17 starts is just as good IN AN INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON (first season in Serie A).

Added to the fact that Osimhen got to 10 Napoli Serie A goals in faster time than Cavani did IN AN INJURY-RAVAGED SEASON compared to Cavani's smooth sail.


So, mister noisemaker... You are indeed a beer parlor analyst and a novice and yes ofcos my memes make you cry which is why you mention them. E pain you.

Try again. Lol

jihday:
nobody will take you serious because you aren't being honest with your analysis. You've been mentioning Tammy's name since but you forgot to tell us that brother have 6 goals in 22 epl matches?

Yes, you are.

Please take this humble submission of mine in love.
It is for your own good

I don't normally do this, but it is sometimes good to call out some people.

BascoVanVeli:


My favorite part was him getting out of the way for Lozano to score his goal. That should show u everything u need to know about Victor Osimhen. A very unselfish individual.

12large1:


Not this season but last season when he scored 15 Epl goals Nigerians here trivalized that return are the same ones trying to be kind now our guy has 10 seria a goals

superbloke:

My guy, you need to calm down and always put proper context to what people are saying. Not everything is black and white. Let me explain:

The way I see it, you and thesupernerd are saying the same thing ultimately concerning Osimhen. The difference is that you seem to insinuate his injuries and illnesses are his fault, otherwise, why should he not have scored a lot more despite the high expectations. I do understand that with great power (huge transfer fee) comes great responsibility, but to be fair, he has been hindered this season. From his displays, it is obvious he will score a lot more goals next season, hopefully he stays injury free. Most of the things you say he doesn't have are the things he showed last season in Lille, which was why he cost that much and Napoli paid for him. It wasn't just the goals.

With regards to his other contributions, yes scoring goals is his primary purpose. But other attributes are equally important like how well he plays, bringing his teammates into the game and creating chances for himself and others out of nothing. Otherwise, they'll just be another Crotone with a top scorer but zero end result fighting for relevance. It's not always about a player but also the team. There is a reason Firminho plays most of Liverpool's matches even though he doesn't score many goals. He is their number 9, but he assists more than he scores. There is more he brings to the team than just scoring goals.

With regards to Ndidi, I hope you know he's studying at Leicester while playing professional football...as in he's in the university. He has said he wants to get his degree before ending his career. I reckon he's close to done with his studies and offers will definitely come. It's not like you are in Leicester's inner circle to know he has been rejecting offers due to small ambition. Not everything has to go the way you want it. You can't deny how good a player is because he is not playing for Madrid or United. We all know how Suarez was killing it at Ajax and did even better when he moved to Liverpool. He always had it. He did not suddenly become good because he was now in Liverpool. Same with Ibrahimovic, Kante, Bruno, etc. Vardy has been with Leicester for how many years now, churning out goals each season. That he has not left for a bigger club will not diminish his status as a top level striker. Harry Kane is another example. There was also Totti who spent his whole career in Roma despite the likes of Madrid always coming for him. It was his choice. That did not diminish his status. Infact, he is one of the legendary playmakers in Serie A and in football generally. My point is, when the time comes, Ndidi will get his big move and he will be even better.

At the end of the day, football in this day and age is not black and white. There are many factors, considerations and stats to decisions being made. Sometimes, the devil is in the details.

Interesting Fact: Victor Osimhen's double digits milestone in Serie A

Osimhen vs Two of Napoli's great strikers in recent times in the 21st Century.

Compared to Gonzalo Higuain's first season at Napoli and Edinson Cavani's first season at Napoli, Osimhen is actually "the fastest" to hit the 10 goals mark for Napoli in Serie A

This is very interesting stat especially when you consider that Cavani didn't have any injury episodes in his first season leading up to the 10 goals mark in Serie A and Higuain only suffered a very brief injury episode that saw him miss just one Serie A game. They both had it smooth "healthwise" leading up to their first 10 Napoli goals yet Osimhen got to that mark FASTER despite a turbulent season marked especially by a long term (2 months) shoulder injury, Covid infection and Head Trauma/Injury.




The Numbers:

▶️Higuain (2013/2014) - Took 19 games (17 starts) - First 10 Napoli Serie A goals in 1,458 mins.

▶️Cavani (2010/2011) - Took 17 games (14 starts) - First 10 Napoli Serie A goals in 1,336 mins.

▶️Osimhen (2020/2021) - Took 21 games (13 starts) - First 10 Napoli Serie A goals in 1,289 mins (+ remaining 38mins in last game it becomes 1,329mins).

**The Stats Graphic below was created by an italian-based Neapolitan fan at the time Osimhen bagged his tenth of the season even before Halftime. That explains why it shows 1289.









Big NOTE: This is just an interesting piece of statistical data that further supports the fact that Osimhen is indeed delivering the goods despite a rough start to life at Naples. This post does not in any way or form suggest that he is better than Higuain or Cavani. Those two are legends while Osimhen is still a young lad rising fast in the game. So it's not about who is better. Be guided.
(Had to add this for those who will somehow take things out of context. There are always those few fellas. Lol).

"Osimhen reached 10 goals in Serie A faster than Cavani and Higuain did in their own first seasons with Napoli. That is hard fact..."




this was your quote on cavani now you're saying that you were referring to cavani first season at Palermo even though you wrote napoli here. Anyway, cavani wasn't signed for an astronomical amount at Palermo. Anyway, like I said a striker signed for an astronomical amount is expect to return a higher ROI than 10 goals ideal stop mentioning "moral victory" like hold up play, nonsense blah blah because if he was a non Nigerian with the same stats, you won't be this kind. Osimehn has been average this season "C" didn't flop and was exceptional but he has potential to surpass this tally next season but do not in any form shape or way try to celebrate moral victories because he is here to score goals. You were the one that brought up cavani name in this discussion trying to deceive Novices by mentioning irreversible stats like "first to score 1, 2, 10 games" that's why I followed up by posting the full stats

TheSuperNerd:



This quote above had a BIG NOTE addressed to monikers like you. Read it and understand.


@bolded in your own post.... It is now made absolutely 100% clear to me that you really lack the ability to grasp a simple statement made by me.
Who was referring to Cavani's time at Palermo?? I only reminded your Oversabi Loquacious self to see that Cavani have had four seasons in Serie A before he even joined Napoli to make those first-season-at-Napoli numbers in serie A unlike Osimhen who is just having his first ever serie A season.

I gave you Cavani's first season numbers at Napoli achieved all without Injuries.
Then I presented Osimhen's with his plagued with Injuries.

I clearly stated that even for a full season Osimhen will only make half the league starts (16 starts from 24 games) that Cavani made in his own first season at Napoli (32 starts in 35 games).


But as usual, you are too slow to understand. You are faster to respond and the slowest to understand.

And with that, You missed the point AS USUAL. The point is Cavani had the luxury of already adapting to the league with four seasons of experience behind him in same league before he Joined Napoli for his own first season with them in 2010/2011 plus he had no Injury nightmares like Osimhen faced. Na wa!!! Is that hard to understand?

Biko.... What again did I tell you about understanding the context of my post before you quote me? Can't you see you need help? You no dey ever get my posts. It is now a disease with you. Guy, try dey pour cold water for your head abeg.

And the stats of Osimhen's 10 goals milestone still stands. He reached it faster than Cavani and Higuain did in Napoli colors in their own first seasons. You hate the stat?? Go take it up with the Napoli fans and analysts who put it out there.



Mister noisemaker, Ciao.

jihday:
Abraham of last season and Osimhen of this season have identical stats with Osimhen being marginally better. Yes we'll hype Osimhen because he's our boy, if we don't hype him is it Gary Neville that will hype him for us?

kellycute:
but when people start praising their favorite you get irritated. Why not jump and pass?

12large1:


Mr man, in the grand scheme of things all these you posted are Irrelevant Piece of Dog shit nonsense. No one absolutely no one cares about moral victory piece of shit stats like such you posted. What people care about is the "end season stats" i.e total aggregate and in
Cavani case he scored 31 goals in 40 plus games in his 1st season at Napoli
While osimehn has scored 10 in 28 games thus far. This is what people actually pay attention and analyze not irrelevant nonsense like "first to score 1, 2, 10 goals". You're the one that mentioned cavani and pipita name in this discussion that's why I countered it by posting the full stats.

TheSuperNerd:



Abeg, Stop saying 40plus games to hide the actual numbers.
It is 47 games. That's close to 50 okay. And Cavani bagged 41 starts in those 47 games.

Osimhen on the other hand will only end up with 19 starts from 30 games in all Competitions. Wayyyy short of Cavani's first Napoli seasons because of Osimhen's injury episodes. YET, in the face of that, the lad is already on 10 goals + 3 assists in 17 starts out of 28 games. And is also the second youngest player in the European Top 5 leagues currently to bag double digit figures in Two consecutive seasons.

The others are Haaland (youngest), Mbappe (third youngest), Rashford and then lautaro martinez.

So I repeat, your assessment of Osimhen's season is simply bollocks. He has done well given the circumstances and is bound to do even far better next season with the injury nightmares behind him.

Honestly, you are just a Loquacious non-thinking moniker. Try to relax and understand before you post more nonsense. I'm done with you abeg. Bye.

You are so dumb to realize that osimehn and ndidi are also my boys but I have to be objective, factual and logical as clear as possible. I cannot add favoritism to my analyst or else, I will become biased.
