If we are comfortably leading a team, there is nothing wrong if our star player takes the penalties,
Not only because Osimhen is gunning to break Rashidi's records, but is also equally good in scoring his penalties, he is yet to miss any of his penalties for us,even though there is a possibility of him failing to score when it will matter most just like any other player.

So I stand with my opinion Osimhen should take our penalties when much is not at stake.

And some times a designated penalty taker do allow another player take penalties and the coach won't have problem with that.

Osimhen is a great player and one thing about greatness is to keep improving. Osimhen has shown improvement in different areas over the years like becoming more involved in build up play, use of space in the offensive third and also watching out for teammates in favourable positions.

He can improve in his penalty technique and I think staying the designated penalty taker will help him achieve this.

To paint Europe with goals and assists is not a problem, but beating common Zimbabwe na brain surgery.

Congrats to Iwobi but i will not boast nor praise these players until the end of qualifiers.

Imagine a country with midfield generals like Ndidi, Onyeka, Iwobi, Bashiru, Onyedika, Uche, etc will be battling to compete in the midfield with smaller countries like Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Lesotho.
The coach is even at fault because we the viewers knows that Iwobi needed to be moved to AM but SE coaches kept playing him out of position. Play Iwobi as an AM or as a RW, same position he plays for Fulham, them nor they hear.

Nwabali
Aina
Ekong
Bassey
Bruno/Zaidu

Ndidi/Onyeka
Onyedika/Uche
Uche/Bashiru

Lookman
Osimhen
Iwobi

The coach go die if them give us starting 11 like this?

We are playing a 2 man midfield and it's limiting our play.
Play Uche alongside Ndidi(since them nor wan drop am to the bench even when he contributes nothing to the starting 11 for the SE), Uche and Iwobi or Ndidi, Onyedika and Uche and move Iwobi to RW.

Iwobi is on course to hit double digit goals this season.... His best season in his premier league career and he is doing it in his preferred position..

This idea of using him in a 2 man midfield is why he is constantly underperformed and been used a a scapegoat,sort of by disgruntled fans....
Chelle need to stop it... If at all he wants to use a 2 man midfield, let Iwobi start on the flank...that way, he can easily drop to midfield at will and provide extra bodies.....

Thank God u say na unpopular opinion.

Only Kanu and Mikel can be argued to have more lasting impact than Jay-Jay for all the Nigerian premier league players.
Not even Yakubu.
Iwobi's influence in premier league is not close to Jay-Jay's magics in premier league.

But for real though, i miss when Super Eagles stars used to run riot in the EPL.

Especially that Odemwingie records at West Brom. It was super craaazzzyyyyyyy. That Osaze will walk into a 1st team of any of the top 6 teams today.

Now, it's just Iwobi sparking any form of light with Fulham. Bassey is also there. Everything went down after the 2014 Season.

It's not by numbers but the lasting effect of those little contributions and those useless dribbles,that's what forms his own legacy,which on the course won him two BBC African footballer of the year awards.
Even premier league player of the month.

Sunday Mba with just few games 2 goals at the AFCON,but the significant effect of those 2 goals will continue to resonate a lasting memory to this generation and the ones to come than the many goals of Yakubu Ayegbeni in super eagles.
That's his own legacy.

Okocha at Bolton was not a useless dribbler, but an effective one. You need to watch his games then. Sam Allardyce really refined Okocha's game.

For Andrew mind, he only sees Okocha in Pius Ikedia and Rabin Ibrahim's level because he did not get to play for Barcelona.
