Another beer parlour analyst ,the comparison is not necessary

I am sure you where hiding your face when awoniyi was scoring in the bundesliga

Celebrate umar sadiq in peace and stop capping .
Just saying the truth man
Sadiq Umar all round play is far better than that of awoniyi
by the way I'm a very big fan of awoniyi

Let me help y'all understand something about both Awo and Sadiq.

Both are very decent strikers.

The quality you admire in Sadiq is what Awo doesn't have in huge doses.

But also, the physical beastly qualities that we also admire in Awoniyi is what Sadiq lacks.

Sadiq lacks Awoniyi's Well-built Physicality and body balance. He gets that and we have a Black Zlatan on our hands.

Awoniyi on the other hand for all his physical qualities and sense of positioning which Sadiq also has, he kinda lacks Sadiq's Ball-playing skills.

Now imagine both of them with each other's qualities in addition to theirs.... I tell you the truth, both will be far more menacing than they are even now.

So no need to compare coz either of them don't have what we admire in the other.

One is a battering ram CF with intimidating physical presence, great upper body strength, a workaholic with fine sense of positioning BUT his Ball-playing skills are underpar.

The other is a mobile ball-playing CF, a targetman capable of using the ball skillfully and sleekily with goal instinct and an eye for the Final pass to feed teammates. BUT he doesn't have the physicality and upper body strength to truly impose himself in duels consistently.


So both are good and what both lack is found in the other.

It's very interesting actually observing both overtime and seeing that what both lack is found in the other. Almost like both need each other. grin

I don't think osimhen has ever started any game against Juventus before


The one he came from the bench he won a penalty in that match


I think he also won a penalty against inter Milan last season (I might be wrong)


Also won a penalty against Barcelona


His first serie a goal was against Atalanta


He scored two goals against Leicester city


And he has a goal against Lazio
Please tell him

I love the way Ejuke's game is evolving.
He attempted 2 crosses of the ball, this is something i kept longing for in his games.

Also this is the first time, I have seen Ejuke take corner kicks.

awoniyi is not bad give him chance when he score tomorrow against Tottenham it same you that will be clamouring that awoniyi is good
I watched Sadiq yesterday and I was like wow,good displayed with sleek movement but my boy Awoniyi need to up his game,not really impressed with him against Everton but very unplayable against West Ham..... comparing Awo and Sadiq this season,damn too early and good TheSuperNerd has highlighted the differences between the two,honestly good for Nigeria having CFs doing it in top leagues this season.... Osimehn,Dessers,Okereke in Italian league,Awoniyi and Sadiq EPL and La Liga,Moffi in French league.

If Sadiq is miles ahead or far better than Awoniyi then Sadiq should be better than Osimehn.

Apart from Osimehn,i don't really rate others much,hope you know Peseiro preferred Moffi than Sadiq and Dessers just to tell you that Sadiq is not far better.

Sincerely,Sadiq is delight to watch and am seeing him scoring 20 league goals this season.

I just hope Awo up his game cos EPL is tough,really impressed with Sadiq so far,love his movements yesterday.

He got injured for most part and didn't play penalties. Rest that agenda! He has scored Chelsea, PSG, Leicester City etc in the past. OSI will sting them this season.

TheLoneCitizen:
April 20
Osimhen has played against 5 of the Seven Sisters this season:
He has 1 goal contribution (1 assist vs Inter).
He has missed Atalanta twice.

Abraham has played against 5 of the Seven Sisters this season:
He has 8 goal contributions (1 goal vs Milan, 1 assist vs Napoli, 1 goal vs Juventus, 2 goals vs Lazio, 3 goals vs Atalanta)

So Abraham has scored or assisted against all of them except Inter, who he is yet to play against.

Levels, brother.

While one certain EPL club's offer is being rejected..... grin

....another EPL Club's offer has been accepted. grin

Wesley Fofana to Chelsea is happening! According to RMCSport.

Finally, one of my favorite young CBs in the game makes his bigggg jump.


Meanwhile... Perhaps Man Utd should just make it 95-100M naa... Ajax might reconsider. grin
