If we are going to play 4-4-2. This will be my team

Osayi/Awaziem Federick Bassey Sanusi

Chukwu Onyeka/Onyedika Ndidi Moses/Iwobi

Lookman Osihmen

Akor in place of lookman.
He should play from bench abeg.
Exactly that team that played benin is what we want..whats wrong with yall

BankyGee:
I don't agree with this. But every other thing you said is on point. I think we've argued this a while back.

If you score your penalties, then why will you be a "bad" penalty taker? Osimhen has not missed one penalty since he joined Galatasaray, he even scored against Alison whom he missed against while at Napoli, so I no believe this one.

9 penalties taken for Galatasaray so far, 9 scored.

Yeah we have had this conversation before. Like I said, he scores but in a high stakes penalty shoot, I will not entrust Osimhen with taking it ooo.

A match fit Lookman is 1million times better Dan akor

QueenJazz:
What do we do in our games besides floating in crosses? Lol. That's literally our entire game strategy. The issue is that we suck at actually making those crosses.

Your last sentence makes my point. That's why I say that we aren't making juice out of his aerial ball controlling abilities. It's not on Osimhen. It's on us as in the rest of the team especially the wingers

Emmy450:
we always try to oh, just that most of the crosses are useless (too intense or too short), usual culprit is uncle Moses Simon.

Useless crosses is the same as no cross. You cross, it cannot reach Osimhen. How will his ability come into play.

Emmy450:
I believe he has it, but has not explored that aspect of his game.
He scored a few goals with intense shot that banged the net in Napoli, although he took those shots in the box, it would be nice seeing him score from outside the box with powerful shots.

I would be happy to see him unleash shots. We don't even have any player with shots. Ndidi was supposed to be that man but he so much embraced the role of a destroyer to the extent that he destroyed even his own goal scoring abilities.

Amedino99:
we kinda do. Apart from our all ball to osimhen strategy, we try to utilise the cross method when we can. A good example was the afcon semi final against south africa. We were loading the ball to his head every opportunity we get and he was not converting it that well. I think they were about 3 headers he failed to utilise in that match.

He's become more deadlier now. See that third goal against Benin. If not that football is a game we all know, I'd have said na juju e use score that goal.

Kog45:
Haba the Law with 29 goals in 43 caps

Baba, that means he would have been on more than 29 goals by now. And mind you my post is limited to the issue of aerial balls. I've seen him control aerial balls so well that I feel we should be giving him more of that. If we are giving him 5, we should increase it to 10.

Kog45:
USELESS caught my attention,I just don't know cuz these are guys giving Osimhen assists...Simon gave us needed assist against Benin

I am even surprise how so many people are talking down on Lookman in this thread
The same Ademola Lookman

NIGHTMARE0O7:
"do you think Osimhen would've been on 29 goals with 43 cap"


Common sense

The question is not that would Osimhen have been on 29 goals, Rather could he have had more? If their end products were as useful as they ought to be, Osimhen wouldn't be on 29 goals.... Fact!!!!

And quite frankly , the post is not even about Osimhen... It is about our supposed wingers who cant do basic things such as square a ball timeously when it would have mattered. As I always tell people, there is a difference between being effective and being efficient

Better in the colors of Atalanta or of Nigeria? Cos left to me, the dude kills off the momentum of our Attack and is always glory hunting

Why does everything revolve around Afcon. How about we talk about the matches we have played after Afcon? Why were we happy he got carded in the match against lesotho? How come we were able to score more than 2 goals post that match? How many goals did we score as a team? At the end of it all, I think it all comes down to how different our football philosophies are. While everyone may not agree with my point of view and while we may agree to disagree, still I gotta respect other views. Cheers to all Super Eagles fans

You said Lookman always kill the momentum of our attack
Like he has never had a good game for the Super Eagles
It's not just about AFCON
Even after AFCON Lookman has been good for us
Was it not Lookman that scored 2 against Benin in our AFCON qualifiers
So just because of some few bad performance with all the transfer saga we should just discard him

Lookman is far far superior than Akor Adams. We Nigerians should stop being reactionary and think deeply.

At no point did I say we should discard him. If we can get Luku to keep things simple, we will get more results...

In the words of Indians... Simpal....!!!!

Kills which attack? Guy go and take sit with this una agenda. The same Lookman that scored plenty goals and was carrying us when Osihmen was injured. Same Lookman that scored winning goals in AFCON R16 and quaterfinals. Same Look.an that assisted Osihmen only goal in AFCON is killing our attack because Akor scored on his debut agaisnst Lesotho? So if you be coach, if them keep Lookman and Akor for you as option you go bench Lookman? That shows our football knlwlwdge as fans

Samueltemi337:

Same Lookman that was spearheading our attack scoring goals during AFCON qualifiers is suddenly killing our attack because he didnt score in the last qualification rounds. SMH

There is nothing like keep simple. Allow him to play his game. Anyways Thank God you are not the coach.

Na Lookman you wan bench and play Akor.
Lookman that has transfer issues, immediately he settled with the club they restored him in the starting eleven, he even scored last week.

I wish I could engage but I respectfully will have to decline that need to. As I said, we all don't see things from the same perspective. I wish Luku the best

Mujtahida:
Yeah we have had this conversation before. Like I said, he scores but in a high stakes penalty shoot, I will not entrust Osimhen with taking it ooo.

The one he took against Liverpool was low stakes? 😳

In a match where the odds were against them, against a goalkeeper he knows he had missed the last time he faced him, in a match where he had just returned from injury and he's the main man expected to turn up for them?

High stake is nothing different from that sir 😌😌

BankyGee:
Where do I crawl out? 😏

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lookman - Osimhen is the perfect partnership if they play to complement each other.

They should both assist each other where necessary. if any of them is selfish it would reduce the other, because they are both top strikers in their own right.

Kog45:
If these players are useless as you guys have been describing them do you think Osimhen would've been on 29 goals with 43 caps....even Osimhen will not agreeing with the way we are bashing his team mates,get it NFF put us in this tight situation, sincerely I will not blame the players if we eventually failed to qualify,but I hope eagles makes it

ok sir, but I did not call Moses Simon "a useless player" I said "most of his crosses are useless, either to intense or too short" ,

I believe we'll qualify sir no doubt about that.

joelsteron:
While Uncle moses doesn't get his crosses right, mr lookman cr7 is selfish.

too real

Kog45:
Do we say same things applied to Lookman cuz am seeing some folks criticizing him, forgetting this is a player that went through transfer brouhaha

similarly but not In totality.

Samueltemi337:
The same Simon you are calling useless has assisted so many goals for Osimhen with the same useless crosses
