Awoniyi, Moffi and Nacho are ahead of Osimhen right now truth be told... no doubt Osimhen will remain the # 1 man in the SE... but he badly needs competition

Embarrassing

He has competition! His competitors just can't dislodge him. Hence, his position.

From your mouth to God's ears...this kid is truly special

That there is a sign of CONFIDENCE! Please God keep him injury free. We have a few trophies ahead of us with this kid.

On current form, Moffi is ahead of him.

Tufiakwa with your bad belle. Even you sef know say that its a lie

It was a great finish to the game by Vic. But to be fair, at the time I made that post it, he was taking wayward shots and didn't look good at all. Just based on the "eye test" I still think Moffi is the better finisher of the two. Just my opinion.

You still continue to lie to yourself. We don't " might" have a true gem," We already have a true gem

Victor Osimhen is the real deal guys...real talk

Kai!!!

Foot in mouth disease on full display.

A good game but Leicester midfield was none existent. Ndidi did not have a good game and the Leicester defense was so, so susceptible to counters today.

On another note, the ref was a bit unkind to Leicester. That tackle on Nacho was definitely a takedown


Cheers.

Any video of the game?

Some of us have gaddem jobs and can't watch games smack dab in the middle of the day on a work day. We are not all bigpokey and kongi that ain't gat not gaddem jobs.

Kelechi can definitely be the answer to our creative midfield dilemma, he was superb today playing the #10 role for Leicester and his assist for their second goal was equally as sublime. I reckon he can grow into that type of player and role for the NT

By the way, Napoli is much, much improved from last season


Cheers.

Leicester vs Napoli 2-2: Sumptuous Osimhen Cancels Two-Goal Deficit



There is a new leader in Napoli and his name is Victor Osimhen, as the Nigerian striker bagged a brace at the King Power Stadium on Thursday night to cancel a two-goal lead for Leicester in the Europa League Group C opener.
Napoli approached their trip to Leicester with the right mindset but the Foxes managed to punish every single mistake the Partenopei made, lifting themselves to a 2-0 lead with goals from Ayoze Pérez and Harvey Barnes before Osimhen would help his side to storm back and deliver a precious point to the visitors.

For his Europa League overture, Luciano Spalletti made a few changes compared to his winning effort against Juventus on Saturday. Amir Rrhamani replaced Kostas Manolas in defense and Kevin Malcuit took the right back spot, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo moving to the opposite flank. In the Azzurri‘s 4-3-3 setup, Hirving Lozano was preferred to Matteo Politano to support Victor Osimhen and Lorenzo Insigne on the front line.

Napoli’s approach to the game was promising, with Osimhen testing Kasper Schmeichel within the first five minutes. But Leicester were quickly to organize themselves and, as soon as they hit the gas, Napoli had no answers to their offenses. David Ospina had to go above and beyond to deny Harvey Barnes from point blank range but couldn’t do anything on nine minutes as Ayoze Pérez converted a cross from the former into the Foxes’ lead, talking advantage of the Partenopei defense’s bad positioning.

Napoli weathered the storm and attempted a reaction that was all in Osimhen’s initiatives. On 20 minutes, the Big Nigerian freed himself from his marker with a brilliant faint and went for a shot that missed the goal target. On 28 minutes, he produced himself in a spectacular acceleration to dash past Timothy Castagne and serve Kevin Malcuit on the right hand side, but the 30-year-old’s conclusion was simply dreadful.

After Ospina made a shiver run down Luciano Spalletti’s back with a suicidal pass in the build-up that risked giving Leicester a big chance, it was again Osimhen to lead a sortie into the opposition box, serving a fine pass that Piotr Zielinski should have made better use of. In the meantime, Lorenzo Insigne started to adjust his aim with two shots that ended just a few inches far from the goal target.

On 44 minutes, Malcuit whipped a cross into the box for Hirving Lozano, whose header was powerful but not angled enough to put Schmeichel in trouble. At half time, Leicester were holding onto their lead but Napoli surely deserved more.

Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers understood that he had to change something. He began from two of his men, as Youri Tielemans and Caglar Soyuncu made their entrance after the restart.

That was a right intuition as it was the Belgian midfielder to serve the last pass for Patson Baka’s second goal, which was however disallowed for offside. The Neapolitans, too shy when defending from Leicester’s four-pass exchange in the occasion, were saved by the VAR.

On 62 minutes, it was time for a double change for Napoli as well. Matteo Politano replaced Lozano, while Elif Elmas took Zielinski’s place. But there was not time to take advantage of any as, right after them, Leicester made it two – this time for real, with no offside flag raised. The Foxes recovered a ball in midfield and Kelechi Iheanacho conjured a fantastic filtering pass for Barnes, who made no mistake from it.

Still, Osimhen didn’t want to hear it. The Nigerian continued to fight light a gladiator and, six minutes later, used all his strength to best his marker Jannik Vestergaard and put the ball into the back of the net with a lob, making it 1-2.

Spalletti pulled out Insigne and replaced him with Adam Ounas, switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation. He then also added Andrea Petagna and Juan Jesus for the final assault, reshaping his side in a ultra-offensive setup.

But it was still him, Osimhen, to put the cherry on top of his terrific performance, jumping higher than Soyuncu on 87 minutes to head the ball home a Politano cross and draw level for the Partenopei.

Napoli wanted even more than that as they were now playing with all the confidence on their side while Leicester seemed to have no fuel left in the tank. The score, however, remained set a 2-2 despite the Partenopei gaining a one-man advantage after Wilfried Ndidi saw red during stoppage time. And, all in all, they can be happy with it.

He was playing well in the first half. Running down the channels excellently and holding up the ball well. The only thing lacking was his finishing as he was taking wild/hurried shots. He's the most complete striker we have because of his ability to run the channels, pass, and hold up the ball. His finishing and movement still need work. Iheanacho is ahead of him in terms of movement and finishing in the box, possibly Moffi too. Osimhen is the most complete of the 3 though.

VICTOR AIRLINES .

No he should not. IMO, AM is not his best position. He's a good passer, but doesn't look comfortable running with the ball and doesn't have the pace of an ideal AM. He can drop deep occasionally and pick out passes, but he's at his best when he's in the box. Kele is a deadly finisher/poacher. He needs to be in the box as much as possible. I prefer giving the creative burden to someone else.

I thought you had retired.

VICTOR! VICTOR!! VICTOR!!! VICTOR!!

From now on, only Arabs should be commentators for our games.






This one is clearer, but not as sweet.

Osimhen can just terrorize defenses i swear, they had to comot old man Evans at half time after Osimhen was all over him. Small composure in the first half and he’d have had a hat trick this game.
