Doesn't he have the most goals ever by an African in the Serie A? A league that had Weah and Etoo?
Also, like Yujam said, his goal scoring ratio for us his phenomenal.
Clearly he is a great striker already. Can he be more clinical? Probably but doesn't take away from the fact that right now he is one of the best.
The Haaland that some of y'all tout isn't going to the Euros. There's only so much great players can do.

0 goals for Nigeria in 570 consecutive minutes of football at the AFCON. 0 goals in 2 do or die games with everything on the line against the almighty Ghana to make it to the WC. Not looking good I gotta tell yaairwolex wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 7:53 pm Doesn't he have the most goals ever by an African in the Serie A? A league that had Weah and Etoo?

Perhaps he should have taken the two penalties Ekong took? But Ekong delivered so not an issue. Those two were a path to 2 goals, assists and overall impact. When you add 4 disallowed goals and the team getting to the final, he's definitely on it. This is a case where stats don't tell the whole story and almost mean nathing. The 0 goals in 570 mins stat needs to be dropped in the dustbin.

I am firmly of the opinion that the star striker should be taking penalties. It eases the pressure and that's always a good thing. He missed a lot of good chances that he normally buries and I think it's all down to nerves.felarey wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:31 pm Perhaps he should have taken the two penalties Ekong took?

That said you are hundred percent right. Lookman had 3 goals but Osimhen was our most important player not named Ekong or Nwabali

You're being a little unfair to Osimhen. Remember Obafemi Martins? We first of all heard about him here on this forum. He was plying his trade in Italy. Obafemi's fast reflexes always caught the Italians by surprise! He was the talk of the town and it all came crashing down after leaving Italy. As for Osimhen, he's quite accurate with his headers and nothing else. To the vertically challenged players around him, he is a Goliath on steroids. But back to Africa, we know he is a one-trick pony. Only complete players like Okocha, Oliech, Kanu et al deserve the APOY.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 8:15 am Yeah I know, he puts pressure on defenses, blah blah blah di blah, but is not the primary job of a striker to score goals? 1 goal in 7 games at a major tournament as a striker! One! If he was a more reliable striker we would have appeared at the 2022 WC and we would have 4 AFCON trophies right now. Verdict: When the chips are down, Osimhen is not a reliable striker for Nigeria.
He should take time now before fans start calling him Osi-miss or Missi-mhen.
