What if Iwobi too is reading this? We have to be very careful with the way we insult and downgrade this players online. I never meant to attack you personally, I just want you to see my point.
I'm not attacking any player. I point out their flaws. Once upon a time, I attacked KC Nacho more brutally than this yet I praised him when he started doing well.

If we dey argue ball, there is no need to go personal and start asking about each other's lifestyle or way of living. I respect all our guys plying in Europe especially those born in Naija that beat almost insurmountable odds to get there.

This isn't my perspective really, I am using stats and you are using...well whatever it is you are using. Tomorrow I will try as much as I can to find a site that will compare his first 9matches from last season with that of this season, judging based on what I have seen, he has about 15 key passes this season and j remember in one of the first matches he played last season against Real, he had about 5 key passes in one game, and his average from last season was 2.4 as against the 1 it is this season. These are facts and not assumptions. But let is agree to disagree
Watching a game live and what the stats say are very indicative and not conclusive.

I never rely just on stats you need to see the things stats don't cover and you can only see that from watching the full game.

For instance defenders in a relegation team may have the highest number of blocks, tackles and. Interceptions. Essentially because they are under seige and spending all thier time defending. It then statistically gives the impression of very good defenders when actually it's a poor team with poor players.

They will berate Iwobi who is currently playing in the epl and a certified starter in the national team but will hype Nwakali and azubuike to high heavens.

It is shocking Charles I tell you. He is like a national treasure back home in Mexico. Just watch him.

But I must tell you one thing, it is typical of several Mexican talents to struggle in Europe or even struggle making the move to Europe due to wanting to stay home in their league (their comfort zone) although some have broken through and are doing very okay like Raul Jimenez (Wolves), My favorite Mexican Player called Chucky i.e. Hirving Lozano (Napoli), Herrera (Atletico Madrid), Martinez (Ajax) who is having his breakout season and a couple more...

Victor Osimhen continued his red-hot scoring streak in front of goal for Lille with another goal against Monaco on Saturday night.

Four days ago, he was on the score sheet as they bested the principality club in a League Cup meeting.

And with 13 minutes gone in their league game today, the Super Eagles striker pounced on a through ball from teammate Jonathan Ikone to lift an exquisite finish over onrushing goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte.

His strike at the Stade Louis II was his first away from home this season, and his 13th in all competitions so far.

Though Lille failed to build on the goal and eventually fell to a 5-1 defeat to their opposition, fans have lauded the goal from the Nigerian with their reactions on Twitter.

Below are some of the tweets,

@unitedyusuf: I thought Osimhen was down last week, dude as just put LILLE in the lead away against Monaco.

@webEngr: Victor Osimhen scores again. Just three days after scoring against same opponent, Monaco. 13th league goal of the season. THIRTEEN!!! Boy could be worth 60 million by season end.

@_KingWale: Wait! Víctor Osimhen came straight from hospital � to score against Monaco, please liquidate that club.

Reds linked with Victor Osimhen

Takumi Minamino might have confirmed as Liverpool’s latest signing but the Reds transfer gossip doesn’t stop there!

Sky Sports, cited by The Mirror, report the Reds have joined the race for Lille striker Victor Osimhen but face competition from Chelsea and Tottenham.

The 20-year-old centre-forward has scored nine goals in 17 Ligue 1 games for Lille so far this season, helping to fire his side up to third in the table.

However, it is thought that Lille will not be willing to sell in the January transfer window as they focus on trying to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

I am sure there must be some sports scientists in the house. Who should understand what I'm talking about.

When a player who has not based his game on sprinting up and down the line at full pelt.

Suddenly and dramatically changes his game to become a hard working winger. The stress on the hamstrings for player who is not use to that will eventually over stress those muscles and get tear in the muscle hopefully it will not be a major tear.

He really needs more recovery time and should not really play more than 60 minutes to develop resilience in those muscles.

He should have a tailor made exercise regime pre match and after the match from his sports scientists and physios. It seems he did not.
for most of his club career, he's played from the wings even played it in a 352 formation for arsenal. So he's not new to being a winger

bro are you serious on your claim that iorfa and ovie will be eagles stars soon? seem you have strong entail with regards to your claim. break the news to us na abeg it will make me the happiest super eagles fan grin.

as for eze i know once he signs for an epl team he will declare for 9ja but all na still assumption but he stands the chance to have a better international career with 9ja than england and he is already 21 and ripe for international football

komekn:
Add to that he is arguably the fastest player in the Championship.

He has pace to burn.

Soon and very soon him and Ovie will be wearing the green and white then completented by Eze later on.

You are contradicting yourself by trying to play a victim here. You attacked Nacho and called Iwobi overated yet you wrote, you did not attack any player. I just asked you a question and you are here crying foul. What did I say that calls for this long epistle. Before you attack or criticize people look at the mirror and take a look at yourself first. What's personal in that?

Why did you say so? Do you watch his matches.
I may be wrong but maybe he should stay at lille for 1 to 2 years to fully develop his game.
His stats are very good anyway and people are singing his praises all over and
i am even one of his fans.
BUT
young players need time to grow and learn.
ARE YOU SURE HE IS READY FOR ENGLAND, SPAIN AND THE BIG LEAGUES AND CLUBS
ONLY TIME WILL TELL

Consider the fact that the Ox just got injured, VVD had a muscle injury scare then consider that Mane, who I think is their best player by far, has not exactly had any period of rest this season(even during the international break) then you will agree that Leicester can and should punish Liverpool. And Barnes is out injured so no one would be missing sitters for Leicester

@DKINGJAY: It's �� Victor Osimhen agaaaiiin! • He has scored � Monaco again!! • He scored his 13th ⚽ of the season and it's just December. What a goal king!!!

@steveDedee: Monaco improved massively after Osimhen's goal. Best performance so far this season. Osimhen was the only player trying to make things happen for Lille. Very impressive how much he has put on himself at a very young age. Massive player he is already.

@theoddsolace: Victor Osimhen's first Ligue 1 away goal. Remember where you were!

@hameerswag: Congratulations. Many more goals to come.

@theUnitedway97: Victor Osimhen with a great finish after recieving the ball in behind the defence from a good trough ball by Jonathan Ikoné. Osimhen turning out to be a good signing so far for Lille.

@iamOkon: Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen grabbed his 10th league goal of the season away at Monaco tonight. He becomes the 5th Nigerian to hit double figures in a single Ligue 1 season after Victor Ikpeba, Osaze Odemwingie, John Utaka and Brown Ideye. Special talent! ������

@joyturn2_: Tammy Abraham yen yen yen. Victor Osimhen now has more goals than him this season. If I hear anyone compare him to Marcus Rashford again �

@Ahmadsalihu: Said this 13hrs ago... And Victor Osimhen came through with the goal. This Kid will do exploits in Europe. The EPL is waiting bro
