Same Lookman that have had issues with the previous coaches of Atalanta.

Just try googling Lookman's issue with his past 2 coaches and his reaction to subs and taking of PKs.

He is not as cool-headed as Osimhen oo.

The last time we beat a team 4-0, was against Benin, with Osimhen scoring a hat-trick and Chukwueze assisting 2 of his goals.Frank scored the last.Simon assisted one.Lookman was suspended for that match.

Lookman and Bony partnership failed to click, because of selfish play from both forwards.


Osimhen is indispensable, but Lookman isn't


Pls do not take away any blame from him.

Mujtahida:
False. If that was the case, the media would have picked on it since then. Stop imagining things

zicky:
Lookman adjusted for who? Dead that agenda. A player with 3goals and 4assists adjust for your messiah.

lbrichman2:
Passion..
He went overboard yes, but that's passion

FiveFootNinja:
This Osimhen argument concern una. I'm sure they'll hash things out over the next couple of days before the QF. I'm too busy basking in the euphoria of this win abeg. Can't remember when last Nigerian football sweet me like this.

og get lost abeg, no b u first mention me, abeg carry your yeye mention GTFOH….ogogoro analyst

lbrichman2:
Interestingly, before today, there was a general consensus on this same thread, that Lookman is a selfish player..
I was the one even defending Lookman
But because e reach Osimhen turn today, everybody don get data to cook

TheSuperNerd:
MOTM Lookman speaks on Osimhen after the game

🚨“I have not seen Osimhen but I don’t think that matters, Vic is our number one guy, everybody knows this, he’s a top striker. So, all of that doesn’t matter”

Toylove:
Okay, Lookman is selfish agreed . Does that warrant osimhen’s behavior today ?
Even fans at the stadium that always shout osimhen osimhen booed him when he was subbed off

BankyGee:
I just saw the video, Osimhen was shouting "it's a team game, it's a team game" which is not bad. The only wrong thing is him walking off at full-time or strolling on the pitch as I've seen some people write here.

Again, I feel it was just emotions flaring up due to the good game we were having. Osimhen overreacted and acted weirdly, but spirit like this, channelled properly, is actually what we need to be a fierce team and not a lackadaisical one.

We don't have to be calm at all times, Osimhen was wrong to walk off at full-time, and he needs to channel his passion the right way so it doesn't keep sending the wrong message!

Fire for fire! Raise am, raise am, raise am!
VIVA NIGERIA! 🇳🇬
VIVA Victor Osimhen! ⚔️
VIVA Ademola Lookman! 🪄

XrisKelz:
Guy are you an APC member?

Meliforme:
I went cold with shivers as i read what you wrote.
"Those guys were creating goals from next to nothing", was it for me.
I went cold because i did not know that someone can make those kind of assertions.

I said it earlier that Victor Moses basked and benefitted from the services of Mikel Obi and Ogenyi Onazi. He profited from a better midfield, and here you are saying they create goals from nothing, and even included Ighalo of all people.

Ighalo is yet to become the player Osimhen is.
Ejuke and Chukwueze are class above Victor Moses when emphasis is on wing forward play.
We have now a superior attacking caste.

Let us see what a midfield that has Ndidi, Frank, Iwobi and hopefully Raphael Onyedika will bring

zicky:
Say we did not concede today make the win sweeter. Cos me I was waiting for that one goal against Nigeria.

Kog45:
Only those who don't know football will tell us Lookman is selfish, Lookman style of play can only be appreciated by real football watchers....haba,a selfish player dey get assist and funny highest assists with three goals so far,Abeg talk another thing Oga Ibrich.

Let me make it clear, Osimhen is our starboy so people must talk about him, it's all over social media not only here

DeloitteNG:
This is not Lookman vs Osimhen
Make una stop this rubbish
Osimhen shouldn't have reacted that way
Drop your point and move on
Why una come dey make am look like say na Lookman vs Osimhen
Both players don try for us
Even the players nor go take am serious the way una dey take am serious

XrisKelz:
Osimhen destroys too many of our goal scoring chances because he can never stay onside, and his team mates never complained yet he has the nerves to always shout at his teammates when they make a simple error? I have had enough of his rubbish attitude.

We really need to groom a new quality young striker.

MKPUOGALIGA:
So, just because Iwobi had a decent game today and suddenly he is SE's main player. Wasn't he there when we lost at the qualifiers

CapitalCee:
Its Jealousy, his childish PlayerFC fan boys want him to be the main man, they cant just stand the fact that Lookman has clearly outperformed him so far just like in the last AFCON. You might not notice it but thats the fact, and that character is what we dont want in the team.

Somebody should explain what happened between Osimhen and Lookman. pic.twitter.com/maO0GB5vfL

Please share the video abeg

joelsteron:
Good game, Eric Chelle.
Good game, Iwobi (Not all heroes wear capes)

As for Osimhen and Lookman. Guys relax. They’ll be fine.

But let’s be honest with ourselves:
Lookman inside the 18-yard box or in shooting positions rarely looks for a striker.
That’s not an insult, it’s a pattern.

Check his assists ....most of them come when he’s not in prime shooting zones. This for those saying he has assists. Hehehe

Now, Osimhen was right and wrong.
Right to be frustrated.
Wrong in how he called it out.
But anyone paying attention knows this frustration didn’t start today... it’s been brewing since the Congo games that cost us the World Cup spot.

Before you come for me, ask yourself this:
If the Super Eagles were goal down, chasing the game, and that same situation happened tonight…

How many of you wouldn’t be calling for Lookman to warm the bench?
Exactly.

Football isn’t emotions only.
It’s moments, decisions, and accountability. This is a wakeup call for super eagles teammates. They will be fine. We are winning the AFCON .
