Re: Our Osimhen vs Torino and he hangs x2
Liverpool can make sense if they make trades/sales. I.e. someone has to leave. It cannot be a pure addition. Not sure what their contracts look like. If it's a big money sale/trade then it also frees up capital.

Re: Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
Surely something is amiss if a player as prolific as Osimhen is 6th in the hierarchy. I think anybody with half a brain would agree that he should be #2 AT LEAST. But I think he should even be #1. A player like Osimhen should be #1 until such time that he proves he is not worthy of the duty. Zielins...

Re: Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
He isn't bad at PK, he is actually the designated PK taker at Napoli, and he has scored every PK for the SE. I like that fact that all his goals so far this season are all from open play. The bobo reached the 20 goal landmark without scoring a PK. Now run tell that Bro, no need to waste you time. Y...

Re: Our Osimhen vs Torino and he hangs x2
There is one move that he does that I don't really see other strikers doing, well at least not often. He will do it at least 5 times in a single game. He will turn his back away from goal as the overhead ball is played from a teammate, he will act like he is going to control the ball, but in the las...

Re: Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
and if this thread is daft, I wonder why journalists are asking it...and many fans are wondering lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wTmfKcsuiM now many would say case closed with Osimhen's response. But I am not convinced by the response. I think he should be attempting more PKs, pure and simple....

Re: Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
You can see from the 20 I listed, only 5 of the top 20 strikers have scored no penalties this season. Now this is just looking at who scored (https://fbref.com/en/comps/Big5/stats/players/Big-5-European-Leagues-Stats)....Actually Messi, Rashford, and Osimhen are the ONLY three that have yet to attem...

Re: Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
Osihmen is a humble boy. It’s natural considering his upbringing and how much he had to work at such an early age to defer the glory to others. I don’t think he sees it as a lost opportunity but rather but an opportunity to help others. He’ll grow out of it soon. Oh an actual response. I thought CE...

Re: Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
So Zielinski asked...I don't know, it makes sense as an isolated incident. Lionel Messi famously gives penalties to his teammates even when they want him to take it. But the overwhelming pattern is that Napoli do not press on Osimhen to participate. That to me is not normal. And as much as Zielinski...

Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?
Lets not talk about designated PK taker or a previous miss, these are all irrelevant. Even good penalty takers like Balotelli and Del Pierro have missed. So what he missed last season? Lol. What I want to know is why he isn't the designated taker THIS season! Is Kvara so good at taking penalties in ...

Re: England snubs its Nigerian options
The strongest sign of this should even be Italy. The fact that so many African Italian footballers did everything in their power to play for Italy, is all you need to know. Even with all the racism, due to the strength of the connection (being there, not heritage), they still opt for Italy. The prob...

Re: England snubs its Nigerian options
But this has always been one of my core arguments as well. You guys are seeing it the other way. The way I see it, we are going after England's troways. This is one of the big problems you get when you create a football structure based on chasing after players to convert. You don't get first dibs! A...

Re: Can we win Afcon?
Our 2013 team is so underrated as people label them "home players". But the reality is very different. Even if we ignore the players Keshi discovered, look at what we had on offer: Vincent Enyeama - Arguably our best-ever goalkeeper. Mikel Obi - One of our best all-time players. Victor Mo...

Re: Our Osimhen vs E Frankfurt, and he hangs x2
The funny thing is that it's not the first time that Kvara has tried that particular finish. He always prefers to go near post to chip the goalie (an audacious attempt) rather than square it to Osimhen lol. If he pulls it off he looks like Maradona, but if he doesn't....well it is a clear wasted opp...

Re: Can we win Afcon?
Based on actual talent I think this should not even be a question. We have more than enough talent to win it. but the NFF seem worse than ever before, so I feel like we are performing significantly below talent. Everyone is talking about recruiting this or that. I think the talent is actually BETTER...

Even if you disagree, there is something called margin for error. If he is even CONSIDERED for this award then it seems that I haven't been drunk or blind after all.

Re: Which Club NEEDS Victor Osimhen The Most?
He needs to go to a club that keeps the ball and has a good tempo. The tempo is higher in the EPL than in Serie A GENERALLY, but most teams in the EPL will have a slower tempo and positive possession than Napoli. Most teams in the world actually. So almost any other team that he goes to will be a st...
