Osimhen starts for Napoli

Kog45:
Oga Sub really,Akanji is a real ball playing defender that read the game very well,not a fighter,his game might look confusing,like why are they rating him,reason a good CB like Kevin Akpogunma find it so difficult breaking into eagles and player like Ekong is a super regular.

Ask Borussia Dortmund fans he is error prone

TheGoodJoe:

I need to watch Akanji well to rate him. However,

Right footed defenders City rating.
Akanji
Ruben Dias
Stones

Left footed
Laporte
Ake.

I see Akanji and Laporte pairing in the near future.

Akanji is not that good

fabyom:
Clubb Brugge signed Onyedika. Another Naija in Champions league!!

Fantastic, that is how you make a career progression

TheSuperNerd:
Defender. Left footed. Normally plays CB. With LB as his alternate role but is playing LWB today.

Ok

TheSuperNerd:
Bruno Onyemaechi starts for Boavista vs Benfica in the Primeira Liga Bwin Matchday 4.

His first game. First Start.

Game on in 44mins.

Midfielder or defender

Rangers fans raving about Balogun, Charlesemeka85 I thought you told me they didn't want him?

Tears in my eyes We are back

TheLoneCitizen:
Di Marzio.

Words can't even describe how bad this move will be

TheSuperNerd:
Remember this name: Jamiu Musbaudeen Olaide, CM

Central Midfield talent, 2004-born from FC Ebedei now at FC Midtjylland U19. Signed just last month.

He is another we can expect to rise with time at FCM and make his mark in the first team like fellow midfielders, Onyeka and Onyedika did.

Once Onyedika to Club Brugges does pull through, 18 y/o Jamiu is likely the next Naija midfield lad expected to break through the FCM ranks within the next 1-2 seasons. Time will tell.

He already looks like a baller

Omanambala:
Making nonsensical accusations he can never back up. Ethnic bigotry has destroyed this nation. Abeg , Nigeria is too divided and it's the fault of the leaders.

Lol if you see the number of educated youths that are supporting an Octagenarian for the presidency after what we have suffered from Buhari you will know that this country is headed nowhere

Omanambala:
This is forgiveness on his tribalistic mission making up accusations against one of the most trusted change agent in the country. If you ask Forgiveness to bring proofs he will run like a typical empty headed agbadorian. I told you guys forgiveness is an ethnic bigot

Lol people like Forgiveness will rather see Nigeria suffer as long as their Omoluabi brother is in the seat

charlesemeka85:
yea, read he is skeptical about the Milan move, though wants to leave mityjlland this summer but prefers a move to a club where he will be afforded more playing time to enhance his development

Hmm the guy is wise

charlesemeka85:
Belgian giants club Brugge interested in Raphael onyedika

Better move if true

TheLoneCitizen:
Was surprised at how quiet the crowd was, then I remembered that this wasn't Goodison. His confidence is at all-time high.

That would have been a banger at the Goodison

Iwobi casually nutmegging a Fleetwood player

Iwobi assists

TheSuperNerd:
Here we go....

Dele Bashiru should be starting these matches, these guys are killing my boy

TheLoneCitizen:
Here's the video of what Haaland did in a far more difficult situation.

If Nick Pope was the one at the end of that Osimhen chance, he's not scoring that. Strike was not even in the corner.

Modified: video blocked

It is common movement, even the football genius is dribbling himself

When a presidential aide is taking 3 million home monthly

TheGoodJoe:

Maintaining will mean getting trapped in a sandwich of three defenders. The defenders are not sticks. They know Osimhen is the target.

That run Osimhen made was one of the pockets of space available.

Defender A was not even aware of Osimhen's position, Osimhen's run actually alerted him and invited him to to defend the ball when he could have been taken out of the equation by better positioning

fabyom:
Maintain how? Football is not static. Oshimen was already on the move but Augiussa refused to release the ball. That touch should have been a pass to put Oshimen through but no he kept running with the ball towards Oshimen. Oshimen needed to readjust his movements which he did to perfection and scored a beautiful goal!

Osimhen had 2 or 3 yards to arc his run, an instinctual striker knows he has a far greater chance of scoring through the middle than outside of the defender, a world class striker like Kane or Aguero would do a curved run but maintain his position in between the goal posts

TheGoodJoe:

Then he is picked up. There are three defenders ahead of him, that is a screen/wall. It will prove easier to intercept it. Meanwhile, at the side of those three defenders, it is easier to pick a pass to Osimhen.

Mobility is key for modern day defending. Waiting, means it is easier to pick you up and requiring extra brilliance from the midfielders.

Lol no be everything you go defend

TheLoneCitizen:
100 percent spot on. The 1on1 chance Haaland got which Pope saved was as a result of what you described here.

We might just have to accept that movement is not his greatest strength.

Lol he prefers the ball to be on his right foot rather than being in a dangerous position

TheGoodJoe:


It was actually good movement by Osimhen. He was in a sandwich of three defenders. Drifted out of the sandwich to the side which gave him a one beat one situation and also making use of the gap on the side.

Brilliant play to me.

At the beginning of the move he was not in a sandwich he just needs to maintain his move and he would be one on one with the keeper, that he chose to run around the defender was amateur, well I guess he will learn with time

COOL10:
Good movement from Osimhen. Poor movement has always been one of his weak points. I'm glad to see improvements.

Bad movement actually, Osimhen moved from acres of space, unsighted to a side where he could be defended, good goal though

VICTOR OSIMHEN!!!! TOP CLASS FINISH!!!pic.twitter.com/E4VfHZsZqq

fabyom:
Milan out of Onyeka deal! Smh! The club made things difficult. How could you deny a young talent opportunity to play for one of the best team in the world cos of money! Pathetic!!

Thats a good thing if its true, let him continue developing at Mitylland instead of warming the bench of a big team

humility33:
I am sure we are gonna have someone who will do better

C mon Pinnick haven't done anything super to deserve 3rd term. We must not allow this precedence where NFF president go for 3rd terms because it may later come to hurt us in the future

Do better than Pinnick, do better at what?

Transfer has always been a gamble; it may or may not work. Many of us here were against Osimehn moving to Napoli but look where he is today. If Milan meets the fee and onye knows he is up to the task, let him move.

Osimhen to Napoli was the right deal the team needed him, The reason I was initially against it was the racism
