When you abandon the system for individual glory, you are sabotaging the system. The system is king.

Kog45:
Sir, you're not getting it,the issue here is simple, it's disciplinary issue or you see anyone condemning Osimhen abilities as a footballer?NO...sir Goke what you wrote here didn't justify what happened yesterday

Goke7:
Is it not team work too to ensure the highest scorer in the competition or your country is from your team or generation? Is it not a thing of pride for any team player?

The Brazilian team in 2002 World Cup ensured that Ronaldo da Lima surpassed Pele goal record for Brazil in the World Cup. They were intentional about it and achieved it.

Kog45:
Those assists and goals Osimhen scored are not from his teammates assistance abi,so the team should abandon the coach instructions cuz Osimhen is aiming at Yekini record.....a record that Osimhen will soon break based on his stats with eagles

Goke7:
But some folks want him benched or you are not reading comments here?

See osihmen won’t stop this habit immediately make we no deceive ourselves, if he’s even willing to change it will be gradual so what do we do now? Payment of Fine, apology or what will stop it?

Goke7:
Osihmen too no Dey give assist? Abi wetin we Dey argue sef

Kog45:
Stop contradicting things here...your defending submission was Osimhen is aiming at Yekini record and I gave you valid response

Goke7:
No contradiction you’re making it look as if the players should only focus on osihmen when in fact osihmen has been one of the most selfless player in this team! A good team and selfless player deserves others should be selfless as well. No cap

Kog45:
Oya tell us players who are going for individual glory at the expense of the team

Kog45:
So far no player is selfish,common man 12 goals so far,last Afcon Osimhen had a goal now 3 goals and more still to come...

TheGoodJoe:
Tell us Osimhen was not in space and the players didn't pass to him.

Goke7:
As an elder I believe you! ese pupo. I no fit argue further!

Una like fight o jesu

If we win fight
If we draw fight
If we lose put am for iwobi head 🤣

I love this thread more than anything 🤣

ChrisKels:
Baller!

FiveFootNinja:
Eric Chelle should have it in mind that Iwobi might be double marked in the quarter finals. It's clear now that he's the main guy who orchestrates our best attacking chances from deep.

ThunderFireAgba:
In any case we face DRC (which I doubt) Chelle should use a formation of 3-DMs in the person of Onyedika, Frank Onyeka and Ndidi to Choke that midfield cos it will be a battle of the titans.
Remember, they took control and we couldn't see any game play and they had a field day through the wings.
Thanks for someone like Benjamin Fedricks but I doubt if Osayi Samuel can be decent enough??

Mujtahida:
Bro! From deep inside our midfield oo. Chineke!

ChrisKels:
Bassey out? I doubt we will beat our next opponent.

I blame Osimhen for this.

9JAMac10:
Osimhen needs serious competition in the striker position. Lots of great players have played for Nigeria without visible temper tantrums . Super eagles will
Always be there. Osimhen or not. He just lucky he is the most indispensable player in the squad today

Goke7:
😂 Iwobi is safe this time na osihmen go be the scapegoat of this tournament if anything go wrong from now! Even Nwabali don escape for now sha 😂 na turn by turn

Odunayaw:
Chriskels say it is because of Osimhen

TheGoodJoe:
Osimhen feels betrayed and hurt by people he considers brothers. Chelle needs to get slides and let them understand Osimhen scoring in line with the tactics is a team goal.

The players must change their attitude. We are still a long way to go. Let us not ruin a good position.

chrisooblog:
Betrayed!? Guy easy with the melodramatic description.

The team has been playing well and feeding Osimhen that's why he has three goals to his name.

Why couldn't Victor have waited till they get to the sanctity of the dressing room to express his frustrations?

Why the eye service forming passion to make it look like your teammates are stupid for not passing to you?

Quality tactics without adequate team spirit and unity won't get you anywhere. If I was his team mate yesterday even though I won't voice it out I would be saying who does this jerk think he is?

We have a crucial game on Saturday. Victor should channel that vex to the opposition we will face.

I admire Osimhen he should not allow his temper overshadow his many wonderful qualities.

See yesterday he scored twice deserving of standing ovation yet because of his poor attitude na boos he chop. I can bet yesterday for him mind he go dey say why are these ingrates booing me.

Odunayaw:
The fact that people are conveniently overlooking that it was actually Bruno that was the culprit in order to make it look like a Osimhen v Lookman thing en

TheSuperNerd:
Thisssssssssss oooooooo! I dont understand why Lookman keeps falling out of folks' fingers here!

Osimhen's grouse and frustration was with Bruno who was also having a splendid game by the way. But him not feeding that pass was absolutely diabolical. No one is specifically talking about that! Perhaps they do not know the sequence of play we refer to.

And again and again not excusing Osimhen for his overdramatic walkover to Lookman saying "it's a team game" after Lookman signalled him to calm down & forget Bruno.
Vic should not have confronted Lookman that way even if he did to explain his frustrations and why he was livid hence the words, "it's a team game" in reference to Bruno's diabolical no-pass.

Now, I am and we are all used to Victor gesticulating loudly sometimes and frustratingly when a good buildup chance is squandered not for effort but for failure to pass to the man in free space. He does it, it ends, we move on.
But omo, you need to see that action replay over and over and wonder why Bruno didnt pass the ball to the obvious best option = Osimhen.

This is exactly what TheGoodJoe is saying in his post about Oiling and respecting the system Chelle is building. This team has thrived MAINLY so far on attacking transitions that finds the best option in the final third. We have to keep it going and not mind who gets the "scoring glory".

Victor showing frustration at the Bruno no-pass was a normal sight to see in football. But angrily walking over to a lookman who wanted him to shelf his "bruno frustrations" and focus on the next phase of play was where Victor really dropped the ball. It was not needed even though his intentions were to explain and not fight.

The media will milk anything and this is right there for the milking. Anyone not talking about the Bruno action that led to all these is part of the social media gang milking this and subtly or openly making it an Osimhen v Lookman thing when it was never about that.

The worst are folks pushing the notion of an Osimhen jealousy for Lookman. Like what the hell is that?? I just shake my head.

Everyone kindly go watch the Bruno no-pass sequence found between minutes 61-64 of the game and tell me if you wont be frustrated at that blatant action.

Goke7:
Players like VO comes once in a generation and when he’s done or retired it will take donkey years to see another Nigerian striker like him. We’ve not produced a striker like him since Yekini. I just laugh at those condemning all about him. Has Uruguay produced another striker like the ear biting Suarez?.

When you have such players you focus more on what they deliver to you and manage their excesses that’s best practice all over. Vinicius is another character did he not produce all the goods for Real Madrid? Gattuso was a mad man per excellence did Italy not win the World Cup with him? We Africans especially Nigerians are always looking for unnecessary perfection from people which doesn’t exist anywhere and that’s why we keep underperforming.

Am beginning to like Eric Chelle more no matter what you say about his players he sticks with them no matter what as far as they deliver. If it’s a Nigerian coach players like Nwabali would have been removed to please self righteous Nigerians. He’s bringing that westerner mentality where you focus on what’s being delivered instead of looking for moral perfection and he said it in his interview with Segun Odegbami he’s looking for warriors on the pitch not gentlemen 😂 he himself na werey wey wan slap that Congolese in that wcq play offs!
