A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH OSIMEHN

[YUJAM]

Osihmen is only as good as the team's offensive capabilities when it comes to scoring goals. But the guy is just amazing. His overall effort, runs, closing down space, aerial ability, pressuring defenders etc are nightmares for the opposing teams. The guy is world class.

Who is better, Uncle Yujam:

Victor Osimhen or Chris Obodo?

I only saw the highlights, but from what I saw, Osimhen played well and had some good attempts at goal, which were actually on target this time. His disallowed goal was unlucky as he was literally only inches offside.

Osimeh’s run created the space for Lookman Abi una no watch the game? he’s been directly involved in 5 of our 6 goals. He has been immense for the super Eagles

My fear is the guy is so close to being burnt out. You could tell that he wasn’t 100% today. Let’s hope the coaches can help him recover well for the next game.

He is doing too much, I hope our other strikers can press if he gets injured because without the pressing this system is handicapped

None of the other strikers in the team can play with such energy. The only option would be to play Lookman as the number 9 and bring on Chukwueze. Lookman looks really fit in this tournament and has good movement too. But Chukwueze would need to really raise his game. God help us.

[airwolex]

He looked tired today. As for his movement, well strikers with better movement didn't top score in the Serie A so no big deal. If this is what bad movement looks like they need to teach it in the academies

[Coach]

The proverbial handful. Absolutely no problem. At all. Big Vic occupies more centrebacks than his inglorious (from a goal scoring perspective) namesakes Agali and Anichebie, both valedictorians in the art of offensive third/opposition backline occupation.

Osimhen has left it all on the pitch, from group stage to knock outs. Ran himself into the ground and let his markers know, “they’ve been in a game”. That alone is amongst the holiest grails of centre-forward play. Headers, hold up, flick-ons, fifty-fifties, running the channels like Albanian drug mules. Major problem? Nonsense. For the centrehalves maybe. Strong leaps for the long balls and crosses, enough elbow to fall within the lines of legality and leave a bit on the marker. Throwback and throw forward. Osimhen has been a delight to watch.

The only markdown comes in his lack of steaming in after Lookman was clattered in the second-half. Could’ve thrown his weight around, stirred up a bit of aggro. Nothing too heavy handed, all above board, for bonus points.

[Damunk]

Whether Lookman delayed his run or not he was IN SPACE.

Delaying the run is only one way to find space.

Osimehms positional awareness is very POOR.

I will not stop saying it.

Of course you will not stop saying it. We have already established that you love to double down on your ignorance.

First it was "Lookman delayed his run". After video evidence falsified your alternative facts, it turned to, "Whether Lookman delayed his run or not..."

The facts remain unchanged though...

There would be no space for Lookman to run into if Osimhen's run did not pull defenders towards him and away from that area of the 18-yard box to create the space. Go and learn the game and stop these emotionally powered drivels you are renowned for.

Brings a certain infamous historical figure called Goebbels to mind.
Only difference being, we are not buying it.

[anointed]

This can only be from the figment of your confused imagination.

Ademola Lookman didn't delay his run. In fact, he showed impressive and breathtaking pace as he raced from the the right to catch up with Simon. Osimhen's run was also so well timed that as Lookman was sprinting into position, Osimhen was an expressway in the Red Sea for him.

Just to let you realize you are lying just to impose your hate, watch the video below

Exactly!! The dude keeps making up alternative facts to backup his ignorance of the game. If you slow the video down 0.5x, you will see that Lookman sees and runs at pace into the space opened up by Osimhen's own run at pace with Simon's run.

I've watched the goal again and, in addition to what I said earlier that Lookman didn't delay in any way; one thing I guessed a lot of us missed was that Simon was the one who actually dithered in passing to Osimhen, constraining him to continue running and creating the space for Lookman who was speeding in from the right.

But it's all good as the second option was clearly better than the first.

[anointed]

When Osimhen scored against Eq. Guinea this old man VE had something to biitch about, saying Osimhen almost missed the goal.

Something tells me that, had it been Osimhen was the scorer yesterday, he'd have complained that the height of the ball was too much.

You do get time oo

We are talking of someone that till now cannot congratulate the SE for winning AFCON under Keshi

We are talking about a character that wishes injury on SE players and DEATH on SE coaches.

He is so despicable that HATE motivates him! Someone that supported CIV against the SE. He is still angry that unknown Sunday Mba became the elephant slayer.

Right now Victor is on his hate list.

A reasonable person will see the good work Victor is doing. He plays for the team. He is not looking for SELF glory. The commentators keep talking about that.

Is he PERFECT? Not at all. At his age he is not expected to be perfect. But to describe highest goal scorer in Serie A in such terms say more about VE than Victor Osimhen

This is my fear as well, not having a backup for him is going to burn him out and is quite unfair to him. Awoniyi would have been the more natural replacement but none of our other strikers can press like he does

[amafolas]

His positioning and runs

ARE PISS POOR.

I've noted this before and it is a major reason he doesn't score as much as he should, and a major reason he is being marked out of games in Serie A.

Just look at the goal Lookman scored because he delayed his run and was in open space.

I have never seen Osimehn do this. He always just sprints forward and there is NO VARIATION to his running.

Victor needs to use his HEAD, not physically, but mentally, his brains. There is little smarts in his game, it is so predictable.

I counted 3 or 4 times where we had breaks and Osimehn did NOTHING to make himself open and available for a pass.

One time Simon (who had a great game) was forced to shoot because Osimehn gave him no option.

His movement is PISS POOR.

I hope he improves.

He was in open space because Osimhen's movement dragged two defenders to him.

VanCity says some of the dumbest things ever. Lukman was in acres of space because Osimhen did his job.

I agree with you 100%. He is the biggest joke of the tournament so far. Only time will tell.
Time will prove us right!

Your football analysis is equivalent to Stevie Wonder judging a beauty pageant. Makes no sense at all!!!!

It's aight!

Nigeria should I've Osihmen like Cameruin used to use Eto'o. Use him as a decoy. While everyone was always focused on Eto'o, double teaming him, especially on the flanks, Webo was doing all the scoring. Remember the game where Cameruin beat Ghana in the semi finals where Eto'o laid a pass from midfield to Alain Nkong?
I think Nigeria has been doing likewise without overzealous fans noticing.
Osihmen is been double teamed and pulling players from the center to the flanks, hence giving Lookman all the space in the world to do his damages.
