Lool thats why no top European team gives an f about him

Maybe.
Clubs have options.
But he is a Nigerian, & remains a Nigerian. The Coach will have to effectively manage him to achieve success for the team & country. That's what makes the coach a good manager.

HeadNigga:
Two wrongs don't make a right. Osimhen really went too far with his reaction. But we should not forget the root cause; lookman's extra ordinary selfishness.

The same Lookman that made it possible for him to score?

Define extra ordinary selfishness!

Lookman has 7 assists so far in this tournament. Can you truly be selfish and have such a number?

ECOWAS Halaand thinks highly of himself. For someone playing in a stupid league in turkey shouldn't be having such ego. No wonder no top club came for him. The coach better address this his issue before it destroys the team.

ECOWAS Haaaland as how na

Effectively sew his mouth with tread and needle.

Omenlon:
remind me of the last afcon, was Osimhen there? did we win it? Football is not one man show.

Maybe you quoted the wrong person … cos we seem to be saying the same thing

manuelkel:
Unarguably, he's got a bad attitude, but something triggers such attitude.
Osimhen is hungry and thirst for more, as a center forward it's annoying when your teammates become indecisive when pressuring.
Is it a big deal to just pass when necessary?
I've watched a lot of his matches, he overreacts when you don't give him what he wants which is the ball.
Just give him the ball when you are sidelined by an opponent, he's always there, always in the right angles.
Also, have Osimhen ever scold Lookman when he(Lookman) scores?? Infact Osimhen is always the fess to run to his wingers when they score.
But just give him the ball when you're sidelined, don't gamble a 1vs1 display when pressuring knowing quite well Osimhen has the space, he's spaced brilliantly, he will also point to you the spaces, don't gamble a 1vs1 display give him the ball. Then if eventually you gamble right and score he will be happy, but if you don't it annoys him because he sees it as a clear miss of chances.
I played CF role, it's annoying when your wingers are indecisive and gamble with opportunities like this after the runnings and energy wasted. Same reason Wayne Rooney overreacted at old Trafford .
I saw someone who mentioned that teams don't want him because of his attitude, that's a fact lie. A big fat lie!!

Let's not forget how many chances he has wasted so far this tournament.

Hungry indeed. He should just keep scoring the tappings he's getting assisted for and leave real tough chances for those who can do it.

A street boy is always a street boy no matter the exposure.

GanagiBitrus:
Much ado about nothing.
The outburst was driven by his passion to excel for himself & his country.

The coach will talk to him, apologies will be made, & the team moves on. ✌️

You will be good at Peace and Conflict Resolution Studies.

Onyeka is there, this Benue guy is there, a lot of talents to replace Lookman.

Ah … Onyeka should play wing ?

femi4:
That guy has got bad character. Everyone cannot be wrong about you

Only him, rude to Ikpeba and Finidi...and wouldn't listen to his captain

Hardwork takes you to the top but character keeps you there

Yes, that's right he's got ego, he's just a street Lagosian who spent almost his childhood at the streets so he doesn't give respects when disrespected.

Murketeer:

Omor, that guy is versatile.

Tappings indeed.
No Wahala shaa, Osimhen no be my brother I no go defend am to that extent.

You may see it as an outburst, but he was driven by passion and dedication. A lot of chances were missed during the match, and if we can’t utilize our opportunities, what will happen when we face tougher teams than Mozambique? Let us give kudos to the guy. He is a striker who believes in and depends on his teammates to work for him.

Although we won our match but sincerely almost all of our goals can not stand against a better team with better defending and good midfield structures. Lookman is a very selfish player and if he continues to be selfish like that when we play a better team Nigeria we will lose the match. For those stupid Twitter guys, why can't Lookman carry Super Eagle against DRCongo during worldcup, we can never have so many chances to waste when you play with a better team that has the same quality as us. Lookman wastes so many chances to pass to Oshimen than what he later did.

Osimhen's outburst is uncalled for. The way he left the pitch angrily shows he has a crazy attitude. If he did not leave the pitch Akor adams wouldn't have scored but will be looking for him to give a pass.

Truth is Lookman is insecure as is most Nigerians close to the exceptional. Osimhen is beyond Afcon and Lookman needs to know this. He is trying to make a move to Madrid and target ballondor, Lookman is the perfect representation of the average Nigerian. Let him deal with his insecurities.

How is he a selfish player. He played his game and he did it brilliantly. Messi, Thierri Henry were said to be selfish by fans. Mo sallah was even attacked by Mane for being selfish and his fans sided with him when the duo were at Liverpool.
Lookman has many alternatives and he took his best decision.

The person that wrote this and the people that support lookman are part of Nigerian football problems. Lookman had chances to deliver to oshime, he selfishly refused. Nigeria could have gotten 7 goals. Don't you know that football is team work. And someone is claiming that oshimen has anger issue, are you ok? You want to divide the team so that we cannot play as a team. Remember that this is knock out, no back door qualification, score goals and proceed. It's proper for oshimen to react, if I were the coach I will flock and warn lookman. That selfish Nigerian way of doing things must stop

Oga the problem is the insecure striker he is paired with that cant match is quality. We are not going to the wirld cup because Osimhen was left out. All the times lookman was put in charge he messed up including against Comgo. Well, Lookmsn is a representation of the average Nigerian, im not surprised at the comments here.

"extraordinary" selfish for a player with two assists in the match?

alobright17:
Excel only when the ball is not pass to him , which kind yeye passion is that ? Shey lookman he's disgracing doesn't have passion and also want to excel ?

Has he don better than lookman in the team ? Why always shouting to players whenever the ball couldn't get to him ?

I never see Messi doing such to team mates does it mean Messi doesn't have passion and want to excel ? You can't bully others in such manners and call it passion and wanting to excel .

That's why we say in Nigeria we call a spade a spade based on who did it .we defend things we supposed to condemn and give it a name .

If a boss is bullying a worker and call it passion I don't think you'll support it but here you're defending and irresponsible act .you simply call it much ado about nothing. Maybe you're a bully that's why you can defend such act .

You speak from the perspective of ordinary fans on the street, I speak from the perspective of the Coach.

If the coach was to give a press statement, he will tow my line & downplay the incident. That's what makes him a good coach; to effectively manage players with different attitudes & characters for the overall success of the team.

Zehdbe:
guy his attitude is bad if you see something wey dey wrong talk am

yes he's overreact but he's working in interest of the country, while blaming Osime, tell lookman too that he's been stupid

Your last statement though…..

What do you think is the reason why Conte refused to let him stay at Napoli.

International sport journalists especially Italians are already on his case, and isn’t good for Oshimen at all.

how many players shouted on him when He missed one on one chances to score? osimhen is just arrogant, MOLA don pass am for this competition even the last one.

I love your brilliant submission. At least this is somewhat closer to the truth and I can understand why to some extent Osimhen behave like that but still he needs to be less confrontational with his teammates especially lookman they seems to understand each other better in the front.

We wish them the very best in this competition. Btw who are meeting for the quarter final match.

Osi should calm down, he had missed a one on one before it's not like he had a 100% strike rate. Anyways Osi is still in his developmental phase, hopefully he learns.

I do not know why players could be selfish at critical games

If your team mate stood a better chance of scoring, why not pass the ball?

Osimehn on his side is too disrespectful - certain things are best spoken off the pitch.

Tournaments are not opportunity to show case your individual skills

It is an opportunity to win laurels for your country.

They should not try these selfish behavior at the bigger stage, as the tournament enters a very crucial and decisive stage.

Gandoki6:
E be like say all of una dey watch football without your senses. Osimhen's outburst was totally justified. Look man, on 2 occasions, failed to pass the ball to Akor, who was in a position to score. Instead, Lookman ignored him and rather chose to score aiming to be the highest goal scorer. Akor, being a junior player, could not shout at Lookman. Osimhen stepped in to warn Lookman. Osimhen's outburst was not that Lookman did not pass to Osimhen. It was that you can't continue to play selfishly. We are a team, relase the ball. But for Lookman"s selfishness, Nigeria could have scored luke 6 goals. Now, after Osimhen warned Lookman, he eventually passed to Akor, who scored that beautiful goal. Osimhen should be praised. He called out his teammate when he wasn't doing the best for the entire team. Those who watch soccer will see that it is part of good sportsmanship. Ribbery has called out Robben in Bayern when Robben kept dribbling and won't pass. Ronaldo has called out Rooney when they played in Man Utd. Just to mention a few. Osimhen is not a coward and there was no need to hide his feelings to the detriment of the team. Make una dey watch soccer with all your 5 senses naah.

I remember J J okotcha, then in Bolton, scolded a team mate for been too slopy.
This drew wide criticism like this Osimhen issue.
But the coach Sam Allardyce stood with Okocha, and told the team they should listen to their senior mates.
Osimhen also need to calm down,
It's all about passion to win

I hope this doesn't affect osimen attitude on pitch for our next games in the afcon

That guy has a big ego. Can you imagine. In football trophies and achievement He doesn't rank higher than Lookman. Such a brat

osimhen got three goals so far in this tournament and all were assisted by lookman...

Even as arsenal fans complain reach say other players no feed Gyokeres, you can never see Gyokeres throwing his hands at saka or any other team mate...

This osimhen guy complains a lot about everything and small thing, he would make a signal to be subbed...

He got blacklisted at napoli for this same attitude..and also fought some Galatasaray players around october or so.. na this same guy set ring light for a whole national team coach.. omo!!!!

what manner of player is that?
