In the 2nd picture Osimhen is offside..

not necessarily, the goal could still likely stand

Thank you for this picture. You can see that the keeper was closing Oshimen down and the only way he could score was to bend it with his weaker foot. The position of his body makes that near impossible. Oshimen run was diagonal cos of where he collected the ball from Gomez, and there were acres of space to pass for his teammates facing an open net. Why then should he risk shooting with his left when he can pass to a colleague facing an open goal?

Zambo had control of the ball cos it was a one-two pass. He has acres of space and good body positioning to shoot with his right foot and no teammates were in sight. Oshimen made the right decision so was Zambo.

BascoVanVeli:
Zambo was in a tighter angle and still finished.

There is nothing wrong with passing to an unmarked teammate but sometimes u have to take on the responsibility, especially as a striker.

BascoVanVeli:
So are u saying Victor should only finish with his right? Make this make sense for me. Then it's not like u are laying it off for them to finish on an open net, the pass had to go a distance and there was already a world class defender close to the situation.

If he had played the pass earlier it would have made sense but once he gets that close to the keeper he should have been finishing.

So many wrongs with this assessment, brother.

1. You're demanding a player to finish on his weaker foot when a teammate is free.

2. Osimhen has scored only 2 goals with his left foot in a career of 45 goals.

3. You're asking Osimhen to finish against a goalkeeper running towards him using four limbs.
When Van Dijk who could use only two limbs is running away from Kvaratskhelia.

Let's simmer the issue, brother, because I insist that if the tables were turned and Kvaratskhelia didn't pass...

Exactly. From the goalkeeper's position, Osimhen would have had to take an awkward shot with his weaker left foot which would either be picked comfortably by the GK or gone off target.

Why take that gamble when a teammate is in a much better position?

Because VAR is on vacation.

It baffles me seeing some folks here saying ndidi is better off as a centre bck than cdm. Not all cdm must be ball players, even in that aspect of the game ndidi is decent.

Ndidi is an out and out cdm same as casimero,tchoumeni,gana,holjberg,bissouma and not a busquet,Carrick,pirlo,Jorginho or even aguissa kind of player

His primary duty on the pitch is to guide the back four which he does superbly. That is what he is built for and can’t offer what he doesn’t hv naturally

With iwobi been converted to a cm by lamps and hv functioned well in that position the ideal thing to do in the national team by jpes is using both in the midfield where the leicester man will start in his natural position while Alex will be deployed as a cm to control and detect play. Maybe alhassan can be deployed as b2b or aribo as a 10 closer to the opponent’s 18 yard box depending on the tactics jpes wants to use

Our cb pairing should be ajayi and bassey, right back aina and left back zaidu

If the team wants to play a back 3 then bassey, ajayi and akpoguma

spot on 100%

JayromWrites:
From the still picture. It's easier to score from Zambo position than from Osimhen for a Right footer.

Looking at the position of Osi, if he goes for goal, it will take something special to beat Alisson.

Osimhen's position is easier ...

since his right footed it would have been easier to play it towards Alisson's left side ( the blue line in the image below )...
or use his right foot to spin the ball to curl round Alisson's right side ( the grey line below )...
or through the legs of Alisson's...

Anyways, Napoli won....

Oga debate the point and stop making up stuff. Even if it was Lorenzo Insigne in that position I would say he should have shot, so why not Kvaratskhelia?

So Victor should go and sell his left leg since u feel he should not use it again? That stat should not dictate how he plays the game. We all know he can finish on his left from there. He could have passed it into the far post or even given the keeper the eye and gone near.

The question u should be asking is would Lewandowski pass that chance up? This is the level we want Victor to get to as a finisher.

A world class striker is expected to shoot from that angle. He is a striker that’s paid to score and even if he didn’t score, life goes on. You guys are the reason why players like Osimehn don’t grow

Both times the keeper rushed in. Osimhen didn’t have to bend the ball with his left (Which he can do) all he needed was to pass the ball into the far corner with his left. He could also go the opio route and nutmeg the keeper or he could give him the eyes and slam the ball in the near side. To say he only had one option is just wrong. If the net was so open for his teammates they would have ended up scoring.

Zambo scored with his left not his right. For Zambo not only did the keeper block the far post with his positioning, there were 2 defenders that would have been on the line if he went there.

Allison was close, before he will hit the ball with his left Allison will have gain more ground on him. He would block it either with his foot or body. He made the best decision. I don't understand the reason for this argument. His teamate was open why take that risk with your weaker foot. You just missed a penalty and then decide to shoot with a weaker foot when there are other options. No now!

Zambo positioning allows him to shoot with either foot. If he missed no one would have blamed him cos he had no other options. Oshimen doesn't have that option. He would have to shoot with his weaker foot. Why take that route when a teamate his free. He did the best thing. That decision should not even be up for debate.

he doesn't have to use his left foot at all.. that's the point..

he can shoot it with his right foot towards alisson's left side or shoot the outside of the ball with his right foot to curve past Alisson's right side or also shoot it in between Alisson's legs..

he took the best decision.. he should convert more chances ...

How? His left foot is already up and the ball is few CM away from him. How will he do that? Is he a magician?

A ball is spherical... if you kick a ball at its radius it will go straight.

Osimhen was running towards the post so he could see when Alisson's was rushing out of his post so he could have picked the left side of Alisson or right side of Alisson or pass to another player...

If Osimhen kicks the ball with his right foot just 1 - 4 centimeters to the left of the ball's radius the ball will go towards Alisson's left side...

if Osimhen kicks the ball with his right foot 13 - 20 centimeters to the left of the ball's radius and aims towards Alisson's right side the ball will spin and create a curling effect which will curve the ball past Alisson.
