Bia Elder Kog, we don close this chapter now.

i also think that misconception needs to be addressed

Samueltemi337:
Here you go

Goals
Osimhen 4 goals
Lookman 3 goals
Adams 3 goals
Onyedika 2 goals
Onuachu 1 goal
Moses Simon 1 goal
Ndidi 1 goal
Ajayi 1 goal

Assists
Lookman 5 assists
Chukwueze 3 assists
Osimhen 2 assists
Adams 2 assists
Iwobi 2 assists
Bashiru 1 assist
Onyemaechi 1 assist

i don't think Lookman is getting hype he deserves here. When I rank SE players, I place Lookman same level with Osimhen with iwobi a little below.

Gaudiola did not see this ball playing GK 😂

SymphonyRad:
We are just blessed that Iwobi has no injury records, I can't remember the last time he even took a break...dude is a machine.

i see iwobi beating Musa record aspa number of cap for SE and Osimhen breaking Yekinis record.

I will end this discussion right now
It's clear to me you're all about pushing an agenda and misinterpreting my takes..

Feel free to call me a Lookman hater..
I no kuku care..

That one no mean say you love Lookman more than we do

Did you not read when I said even me I was shocked that Lookman wasn't contributing defensively?

I saw his defensive contributions at the AFCON
I con dey wonder why he no put body for ATM..

Watch that real Madrid game again, apart from the goal Lookman scored, watch his defensive contributions
You will see why Simeone always subs him..

lemme correct this false narrative, ATM team is pack with top talent, even Greizman, Avarez hardly play 90mins.
Even a top striker as Sorloth, even after scoring hattrick against totheham, next game he was still sent to the bench. Simone will sub him and still start him the next game. How many current SE players will start in that team.

Same thing Osimhen haters will say. 😂 😂 😂
'Lookman or Osimhen haters' , all na same whatsapp group 😂

lbrichman2:
If you were not filled with bile and hate for this young man who doesn't know you and has done nothing to you, you would at least have seen that this injury was a real one..

For your information, he returned to Turkey and underwent a surgery yesterday..

He is expected to be out for at least a month..

Let me also humour you for a minute,
Okay him fake injury against DRC
Why the other players no step up?
Abi them no be professionals too?

The Mozambique incident you quoted, you're just flogging a dead horse
We don chew the matter spit am out, na now you wan start your own
Find something else talk..

Osimhen has his issues like everyone else
But why do you always single him out
Na only him dey field?

😂 😂 kettle calling pot black.
You were just accused of doing same with Lookman and you brought the 'set high standard' to defend that, why don't you think along same line when if comes to Osibobo.

lbrichman2:
We were referring to the last few games
He was better yesterday

When other players don't perform in one or two matches, you don't term them boring. But with Lookman, e get why 🤪

Kog45:
Bigger legacy with no world cup appearances,no Afcon trophy? Osimhen would rather preferred go to World Cup,won Afcon than erazed Yekini goal record,I just hope Osimhen and others makes it to next World Cup and win Afcon,also join Finidi,Kanu and Mikel as Champions league winner...I don't see all these shattering Galatasaray or Turkish league records as big deal.Osimhen is made for top three league, reason why I hate Napoli, imagine Osimhen in Turkish league.

if you see someone talking with emotions, just ignore. If you counter the post they might term you a hater.

Kog45:
Pls is Lookman really boring to watch?cuz someone said it pages back and you affirmed it.

thank God someone else mark that post. I just shook my head when I saw it cos if I been pour my heart, they for come for me 🤪

na werey 😂 😂 😂. That guy chase you, just the sound of his step behind, you fit leave ball run 😂

ChrisKels:
Who was Iheanacho's room mate in 2017? 🤔

what do you want to do with the name. Osimhen intentionally refuse to mention the name, at one point we know Iwobi was once Iheanacho roommate but we all know it can't be him

Goke7:
You gerit 💯 if you observe Oshimen no longer respond or react to all these silly talk like before guy don move on to live his life to the fullest. If e reach you turn allow people to gaslight you.

Another player I don Dey admire in recent times na Iwobi just living his life despite all that has been thrown at him over the years. His uncle truly mentored him well and you’re right Jay Jay in his days just did his thing and today he’s still living his life to the fullest and that’s my wish for osihmen.

one of my favourite SE player, just doing his thing,very committed. Watch a recent interview he had, you will realise my guy no like drama, just doing what makes him happy, no bad energy

typicalgamer:
Still the best league in the world by a 7,000,000 mile gap

The day you’ll be comfortable watching elche vs Zaragoza

And Brest Vs Toulouse then epl will no longer be the best so for now

Everyone will shut it. One or 3 good teams does not make a league

just as you can comfortably watch Leeds vs Bradford 🙄

DrYa:
Victor's injury update is quite sad.
I wish he played the full game yesterday, at least we will be able to judge his impact.

Tackle on a star player to ensure he is taken off ..Just to win a game (is that tactics also)??
Quite sad, I hope and pray he recovers quickly.

Very shameful that some people thought he formed injury...
Where is the empathy to our naija blood..

I wish he was taken off after the incident, cos staying on the pitch longer might aggravate the injury more.
Also accusing konate of intentionally getting injured is not fair, cos from the clip, it was never intentional, just a normal coming together of two players.

Papi85:
the place do the calms 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like when SE lose a game. 😂 😂 😂
Abi na the Fifa verdict cos this calmness? 🙄 🙄

Agenda Agenda Agenda 😂 😂
Rumour had it that, Allegedly, Osimhen will most likely form injured in an important game where he's needed.

No be me talk am oh 🏃 🏃 🏃
Don't come for me biko. I'll cry for you 😉

This place just quite. 😂
At least we can celebrate Lookman assist 😂 😂

SymphonyRad:
Galatasaray is one very useless team sha, yes he gets lots of fan love from the club but Osimhen is wasting his prime years there honestly.

😂 😂 😂

BascoVanVeli:
Taiwo Awoniyi and Samuel Chukwueze are about to come on. We might have all 5 Super Eagles on the pitch at the same time.

i think this should be a record.

mostob:
You dey mind am.
He really messed up with that interview. Whoever advised him to go into punditry no do well.

What do you expect Mikel to say, a strong Chelsea fan. A real Chelsea fan will prefer city or United winning the league to Arsenal.

[quote author=mostob post=138775375][/quote]Same Mikel top Arsenal legend Viera in other metrics, context matters 😂.
Half full or half empty.

minfelix:
Enyeama was already our cemented number 1 before Ejide came in 2008 to also be tried as the number 1goalie

But do you know Ejide made his debut for SE before Eyeama? Onigbede trust on Eyeama against England at the 2002 World Cup was what really brought Eyeama to limelight Berti vorgt came and felt Ejide was better as his no. 1, so it's just a matter of individual choice.

Baba dey whine our nipple 😂 😂 😂. This format don cast.

elyte89:
Baba leave dis okoye matter jare… make we pressure fifa to release verdict ,na fine boy go carry us go World Cup

Abeg contact ur insider for fifa make we know Whatsup 😢😢

😂 😂

Cecco90:
Okoye criticism was amplified because talks of his looks have been on the social media prior to the match.
In my opinion, Nwabali is better but some Nigerians can drag you for any reason. It might not make sense to you but it is what it is. These are the ones I can find

I don't know why it's difficult for grown men to get this simple point. Before the whole light skin, finest boy blah blah blah.

lexyman:
Gabriel Alert!
How did facial appearance suddenly become a quality considered when selecting or judging a goalkeeper?

Goalkeeping has always been about competence — positioning, reflexes, decision-making, communication, courage, and mental strength under pressure — not facial looks or aesthetics. @Zicky

A goalkeeper’s value should be measured by:

Command of the penalty area
Shot-stopping ability
Composure in big moments
Leadership and organization of the defence
Football history has shown repeatedly that greatness in goal is defined by performance, not appearance. Legends earned their place through consistency and reliability, not image.
The conversation should always return to football qualities, because confidence between defenders and their goalkeeper is built on trust in ability — not how a player looks.

i don dey tire to dey read wetin you dey write concerning Okoye ...... abi you be gay ? even if you be gay ,that one still no qualify Okoye to be no . 1 until he earns the shirt . by performance ,. not good looks

if I be gay, do you have a problem with that? 🙄
Maduka is the first choice of Udinese, a club in the top league.
He has mount the post against top team, even after his suspension, he still came to reclaim his 1st position and you want me to believe he's a mediocre goalkeeper.
Me bringing up his looks was because of comments I saw online after the 2021 Afcon. So his looks was never an issue to me, but guys can see whatever you choose to.

Cecco90:
I think he is right Sir.
During that AFCON, he was adored by female fans only for him to make that "costly mistake" against Tunisia. Whereupon, fans turned against him saying he had the looks but no goalkeeping skills.
Were it to be another goalkeeper (like Obasogie) making a similar mistake (which is actually the first), the criticism won't have been that much.

Though, I will pick Nwabali over Okoye anytime anyday.

God bless you my brother, you actually get my point.

They are always quick to attack diverse view. And the funny thing, I've not even made my pick ☺️.

TheSuperNerd:
Saying Okoye is more good looking is an opinion coz Beauty is a subjective topic. You find Okoye more handsome. No problem, some prefer Semi Ajayi or Bassey. Many rate Carl Ikeme and Osaze. Infact Osaze had his fair share of ladies fawning over him. Even Mikel Obi.

But on performances, Okoye does not hold a candle to Ikeme in the Super Eagles.

Also, again this is Ikeme below.... stop nitpicking pics that dont do him Justice.

And dont use this childish "Okoye is finer than all mankind" angle to digress from the central point... We have had fine men like Osaze, Abbey and Ikeme come into the Super Eagles and they did not need their "good looks" to defend them, they spoke on the pitch in the GWG... Let Okoye do same coz so far he has been rubbish for us even when he was handed the #1 shirt for two major campaigns. He still has a chance to carve his own Super Eagles legacy, so let him. Finito.

You are still blabbing, fan made reference to his looks more even before his performance at Afcon. And I'm saying I feel it was part of the factor that made them come for him after his supposed bad performance against Tunisia. You can make of it whatever you want.

Kog45:
Oga forget all these pics...Okoye is good looking no doubt,but telling us his good look was the major reason he was criticized after Tunisia match,no baba

don't misqoute me uncle just to score a point I never said major. From my screenshot you could still see some comments about his looks which was the point I was making, some fans were more focus on his look than his actual performance on the field. If you guys are not in that bracket then it shouldn't be an issue.

Kog45:
OIt depends on what are your factors in determining good looking man,if you said it's Okoye, it's your opinion but I will pick Carl Ikeme,facially he is more good looking than Okoye but talking height then Okoye Maduka....comot Nwabali head and put Semi Ajayi own would you tell me Okoye is well built than Nwabali?😁

now you get the point, same way I can pick Maduka as my choice of goalkeeper base on my own criteria without you guys referring to me as dishonest. Life is about diverse view.

TheSuperNerd:
You lied. Kog45 was right. You said he was criticized for his good looks. Own it and stop babbling about.
