No it doesn't
That's why I have said Osimhen should apologize and should be benched in our next game..
It will send a clear message that no player is bigger than the team... Even Osimhen

Diavolo:
His head is not correct. So many chances other players have created for him and he missed it,did anyone get in his face?.players can make mistakes and wrong decisions so what's the big deal. So because they didn't pass to you you decide to stop making runs and then ask to be substituted and now also storming off to the dressing room,is that acceptable behavior. He's not the only one that has emotions,he should manage it properly like any right thinking adult.

lbrichman2:
This is open to misinterpretation..
I have seen several things that can be used as sticks to beat Osimhen

But if you're truthful, you will understand this was pure passion that was expressed wrongly

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

XrisKelz:
Nna the way you take dey engineer excuses for Osimhen's contumacious attitude is reminiscent of APC data boys.

I hope all those journalists whining about being closed out of training can see why Eric Chelle did what he did.

I've noticed a pattern. When Nwabali starts his madness and ndidi tries to calm the situation,he gets shoved aside and I think that has happened more than once,now today osihmen too has done the same thing. Is it that they don't respect ndidi enough or are those two people just too hot headed. We need a firm captain that can take charge especially with the pitbulls we have

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

Idenna is easy to identify.

Moniter0:
Do you realize we are going to be playing either Algeria or DRC Congo in the next game and you want to bench Osimhen to prove a point? Is proving a point more important than winning game in this crucial stage?

Odunayaw:
I just saw it also on YT. I'm scouring for more videos of the incidence because if this is all there is to it then it is exaggerated.

Shout-out to the Nairaland developers. I could watch the video from right here in NL

lovewins:
Another fact that needs correcting:

Chelle didn't just unilaterally decide to sub off Osimhen, Victor asked to be subbed off.

lbrichman2:
Ndidi is not captain material
He's only captain because Simon doesn't start
The true leader of this team is Osimhen
That's why everyone listens to him

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”

- Lookman at the post match when asked on the issue with Osimhen

lbrichman2:
What was on display today definitely wasn't pride..
It was passion that went overboard

Theflint1:
I won't call it selfishness, but he does pick certain areas of the pitch to attempt assists from.

Whenever Lookman is on the byline, he'd make the cross, but when he's facing the goal, he'd hardly pass, and whenever he does make the pass he's looking for the return 1-2 that gives him a shooting opportunity. To be fair this is how he typically plays his game, and not something he's might be consciously looking to do.

It's these "selfish" decisions that he makes when within shooting distance that helps him create goals out of nothing, and it's also what makes him clash with Oshimhen who'd have created space expecting a pass. Both players just have to realize that the teams victory comes before everything else.
