lbrichman2:
I remember you mentioned it in the first half, I even quoted you

Subzero0477:
This is all about bad pr because if Ndidi lashed out at Lookman the same way suddenly everybody will be understanding

lbrichman2:
Did you observe that after Osimhen shouted at Lookman, Lookman began to release the ball quicker?
He stopped all the needless stunts and dribbles
That's all Osimhen was saying..
Pass the ball on time
Una no need all this leg over

EEGA:
Can you drop Osimhen to the bench for our next game, as a means of punishing him for today's act?

Of course, you can't.

But Lookman can be dropped for Chukwueze, anytime anyday.

The team always collapses in the absence of Osimhen.We saw this against DR Congo.

We are yet to face a tough side in this tournament, only then will you cherish Osimhen and the X-factor he brings to the team.Case closed.

Barryseal:
The Osimhen petulant behavior didn’t start today. He insulted Ikpeba and Finidi , nothing happened. It’s a matter of time he will physically slap a player on the pitch.
Where was this petulant ,malcontent fellow when he was an upcoming at the U17s?
He needs to be dressed down by all and sundry.

Odunayaw:
You de pretend like you know what happened in the dressing room but you're saying we're pretending for not following you to pretend like we know

daveP:
The North Africans and Europeans that watched it are all calling it out. But na here we want dey turn blind eye. Smh. We dey downplay such behavior. Imagine if the temperament of those on receiving end was equal. Better appreciate his teammates for being cool headed in such moments. Hmm.

Goke7:
Did you watch Mozambique play Cameroon and Ivory Coast? Go and watch the highlights and come back to this conversation

Goke7:
This is the Eagles' best performance I have seen in years, but No everyone dey para with Osihmen, Nigerians looking for unnecessary perfection every time. We didn't concede, no defensive mistake, Nwabali was calm but nobody see that one.

4-0 nil scoreline and the player we Dey vex with got a brace 😂 Nigerians na wa

lovewins:
Expressing frustration at a play isn't unusual, every player does it. The difference however is that Osimhen takes it up a notch and gets in his teammates face, and that is totally unacceptable. If there are reservations, you sort it out in the dressing room and should it be necessary, speak directly to the player involved. What you don't do is throw a tantrum every time a play doesn't go your way.

You'll also notice that no one seems to be able to calm him down, not even the team captain. Again z players get angry, but the importance of team structure is that when the captain asks that you tone done you do so. This is the second time Ndidi has asked him to relax and he literally just shoved him to the side.

I like Osimhen but this isn't acceptable and it's detrimental to team spirit.

9JAMac10:
yes indeed I am. Believe that. Let’s focus on the team. No ad hominem attacks here you understand

Subzero0477:
Yes I'm defending Osimhen because Lookman frustrated me too especially in the first half, Osimhen would run his ass off to create spaces and chances but when it comes to Lookmans turn he will try to turn every touch into a shot on goal, Osimhen later lashed out of pent up frustration in the second half but like I said he was justified to air out his grievances, I hope Lookman understands he's not totally innocent in this saga and fix up

Odunayaw:
Chelle proves that the free scoring tasty football with Mali at last AFCON was no fluke.

Hopefully he takes us to glory

Amedino99:
the reactions are perfectly normal. Disrespecting your teammates na trash behavior make we leave favouritism talk truth. The way he display overshadow the celebration. Hopefully chelle go use sense settle this issue before next match if not make he sitdown for bench abeg. National team na for everybody. If dem leave am make he dey talk to him team mates anyhow na so team go spoil be that. Caucus go dey team and we no go fit progress because of say we wan pamper one guy ego.

Goke7:
And that’s what led to the 4th goal by Akor o

Leave Nigerians with their self righteous attitude

BankyGee:
The way everybody preek dey charge when it comes to Osimhen matter dey always muzz me sha, one issue like this 49 conspiracy theories don comot.

Like y'all have the drafts and are just praying he should do something wrong. He f***k up, we know, but all these "na why club no wan sign am," "he refused to play 2nd half against DR Congo" na rubbish talk.

He wants the best for the team, but showed it in a wrong way, can you just focus on that and leave takes that make you sound unwise?

Mujtahida:
Pride goes before a fall. We have had other players before him oo. We have never seen this kind of agbero behavior from our players
Noooo. This is bad.

BankyGee:
The same fracas that made Galatasaray hide their €75M striker for 4 matches, including a UCL match which they went on to lose. Continue o.

EEGA:
Osimhen is the most important player in this team.

He is always unselfish infront of goal.You recall the pass from Osimhen that Onuachu failed to convert b4 scoring via FDB assist.

Lookman should be more of a team player.We are grateful, he has a knack of assisting his team mates.

Akor's is understandable because he is yet to register a goal in this tournament.

This team needs a happy and motivated Osimhen.


They wouldn't have qualified without him.

He deserves some respect from his teammates.

We are yet to play Senegal and DR Congo, which I consider the best teams in the tournament.

CapitalCee:
I think you Osihmen immature fanboys are just jealous of Lookman. Because he is outperforming Osihmen in 2 consecutive tournaments so far

Goke7:
No wahala but make we no complain if we no see goal again!

lovewins:
I'll quote as many persons propagate this false narrative.

Again, Lookman had nothing to do with the play Osimhen was angry at, go watch it again. His grouse was with Osayi who decided to shoot instead of passing the ball (and that was the second time he was doing this). His issue with Lookman was because Lookman took exception to him getting in Osayi's face the way he did.

Lookman was many things in today's game, selfish wasn't one of them.

EEGA:
The coach should educate his team on the importance of team spirit.They should be more selfless;pass the ball to a free teammate or one in a better position infront of goal.
Gracias.

Mujtahida:
I no see wetin Lookman do bad oo. If Osihmen had played with Jay Jay what would he had done when Jay Jay forgets himself dribbling all over the pitch.

Kog45:
Oga Lookman had three assists today for God sake,abi there is anything hidden we don't know cuz you keep on hammering Lookman holding ball but stats say otherwise..... Osimhen fumbled today with that stupid and senseless behavior,enough of all these over pampering here,all players came to represent Nigeria not Osimhen and his goals chart with eagles showed that his mates were really doing well for him...all Osimhen Afcon goals were assists from Lookman,so what's your point.

Kog45:
If Dem like make dem no score na dem sabi

WarHammer2000:
NFF created this nonsense when they condoned Osimhen's public rant on Finidi, a national team coach and a true Super Eagles legend o!

Osimhen even openly said he doesn't care if he never gets called up again to the SE as a result of insulting Finidi. Imagine person wey for dey Olusosun dey hawk gala if not for NFF wey put am for U-17.

Once you see poor man from poor family with poor education wey mistakenly see small money, you must know.
