Osimhen score or not
We will still love him and chant his name
He will not sit on the bench
Who he pain make he go kill himself
Exactly,all these agents of Darkness can go hang.
On Osimhen we stand.🎯

See Yakubu's goal against mali

Osimhen would not score it if given the chance

Amedino99:
we are with a different coach now compared to the coaches we had in the examples you used. your assertion that we won't be able to mount a comeback in this tournament despite us already having a comeback in this tournament means it's not true.
But according to SE media officer's interview on Channels morning show one of the reasons Peseiro adopted this style is because he noticed that we find it hard to get going when the opposition first scores us.

You have made a good point. But the point I’ve been making is that you cannot be found out, but remain rigid in the run of play. Yes Peseiro has found a winning formula, but when the opponent counters, can he react? That’s left to be seen. At some point we will need someone to kill the game of Osimhen can’t. And you may also have to tweak things in the midfield. I’m not convinced about Peseiro’s match reading.

EEGA:
We play a 3-4-3, relying on creativity from the wings.

Iwobi who is the most creative player, plays as a DLP.This is the reason, he has barely 3 key passes in this tournament.When asked he said Peseiro changed his role to a defensive one.

It's Osimhen pace on the counter,aggression,off the ball movement in anticipation of a through pass or long ball and shooting that makes him see those chances.

Other strikers on the bench will struggle to see those kind of chances.Osimhen tries his best to get to a long ball before the opponent central defenders.His is better suit for this tactics due to his willingness to get to any ball b4 the opponent.An Onuachu and Iheanacho can't.Moffi will only offer little.

You want other strikers to start complaining of poor creativity from midfield and isolation upfront because they lack Osimhen's skill set.

Our current tactics and strategy is only suited for Osimhen.Other strikers will struggle in this current tactics.

If I may ask, Have you ever pondered why Onuachu has never mustered one shot on target?

Osimhen is an asset to any team whether he scores or not.

But it’s okay to bench him in some situations
I am not saying he isn't an asset

But if you watch SE AFCON games without sentiments and judge all our attacking situations, Osimhen has been the weak link in most of them

It's either he is offside or he balloons the ball wide

But it is a defender (Zaidu Sanusi) that is their problem. Moses Simon who has been playing well has not gotten any recognition because he is not Osimhen

You see bro, I want to point out their hypocrisy that stinks to high heavens

Do you know benching osimhen would throw the Southies off their game plan because it will be unexpected?

Bench him in a tournament, where he has contributed to 75% of the goals scored by our team in this tournament.

You seem to over rate the strikers on the bench.Onuachu has not even recorded a shot on target and has always killed our counters, whenever he comes on.

Most of the strikers you want in the starting line-up, require creative/advanced mid-fielders , not this kind of set up.To accommodate them you will need to change to a midfield 3.We can't do that because, you can't change a winning team.

If you don't like what I am saying, please see the following options:

1) Drink Sniper. Although BAT has made it quite expensive but it is still quite affordable

2) Wait till there is light and then quickly run to the nearest transformer. Please our light situation is phlegmatic and you need to hurry up if you want to make it to the other side on time

3) Get a rope and look for the nearest iroko tree

4) Stand in front of a moving truck on the nearest busy highway and then close your eyes. It will be fast

Hypocrites

Onuachu’s duty has always been to hold. That’s Peseiro speaking tactically.

When Osimhen is tired, he is tired. You will have to change the set up when necessary.

Bannedlargedx2:
The problem here is people and their sentimental biased. For example, Zaidu primary responsibility is his defensive duties and thus far, he has been solid defensively while horrible offensively and people are suggesting that, he should be replaced. Similarly, starboy primary responsibility is to score goals and while he hasn’t scored enough goals, he has provided work ethic, hustle, never say die attitude and critics has been kind. As for me, I wouldn’t drop starboy but would start replacing him earlier if he doesn’t start scoring. You cannot have potent finishers like Iheanacho, moffi on the bench without giving them a chance if your main striker isn’t scoring. In our analysis, let all of be partial
Iheanacho will not see those chances like Osimhen in this set-up.He lacks the work rate and pace and will require a change of formation.

Please stop hyping this guys on the bench.

Please continue being salty need your tears for soup.

Type all this without crying

Whether you rate him or not, if he continues, he will end up in a mid table team where he would rightly belong

If you like rate him, that won't change how other world class teams see him

That’s the only thing Osimhen has done poorly— conversion rate. Everything else, he is GOLD.

Joebie:
I saw this argument on Facebook and it was full of tribal sentiments. I’ve clearly criticized Osimhen and Zaidu in this thread. When defenders have the opportunity to score they should score even if that’s not their primary role. Likewise a striker in an opportunity to defend should defend for the team. Osimhen has done everything for this team but miss more chances. Likewsise Zaidu who has played as a wing back has failed in his secondary duty most times.

The team is set up to be very defensive. Every starter in that team has a defensive side. While we praise the defenders a lot we fail to realize the upfront (midfielders and forwards) players still play big role in reducing the pressure on the defenders.

I think what is left of this team is also know how to attack as a unit. They defend very well as a unit. If they can figure that out, and Zaidu, Bassey, Ekong etc scores, nobody will complain that Osimhen is not scoring. Really the goals should come from anywhere.
If only we have been converting our chances because truth is that we create at least two clear cut chances in each game but conversation rate is abysmal. That's not a reason for Osimhen to be dropped although I'd prefer if he can be subbed off when he's exhausted or when we are leading. Not Onuachu abeg. Moffi or Iheanacho. I don tire for that kind Onuachu style

Top 20¿¿😯

Are you sure about this?
Going back to recalculate, I saw that the points of teams in Top 20 are very high, we'll end at 22nd or 23rd.

Then if we stay unbeaten for some 4 to 5 games after, we'll break into Top 20 ✅🦅🇳🇬

We have not conceded since we adopted the 3-4-3 formation in this tournament.

Osimhen can instigate a come-back.

Peseiro has been doing well,it's no fault of his that Yusuf who should have paired Iwobi limped off injured against EQG.

Iwobi and Onyeka has built a very good Chemistry in this tournament, so it's too late to drop either of them.

He has been correct with his defensive subs ,but that of Onuachu is just a sub to hold on to a lead.

One thing is sure going into the match against SA, they gonna do operation Covid 19. Na total lockdown. I can promise you they won't come out to play. They don't seem to have any player with physicality and pace of Osimhen which is gonna be a big worry. They know that. Most likely tactic will be to hope we drag till Extra time and hopefully go into penalties. This is why all headers and flicks need to be on point for Naija. No gree for anybody. Make all set pieces and corner kicks count. No selfish play
Make una warn Moses well.
