I feel so bad for Osimhen

[Orion]

The biggest weakness he showed in Abuja was the inability to play under stressful pressure. He was letting his misses and the gravity of the occasion get to him. Eating valuable time by lying down to cry while the clock is still ticking was amateurish. Not to mention the demoralizing effect that can have on the rest of the team. Sotay a team mate had to go and pull him up from the ground telling him to get on with it.

100% correct! His entire game has come down to "gra gra" scream, shout, run fast, jump high. But when the chance actually is there for him to translate passion to glory, he always falls short. He has ZERO goals in every big game he has ever played. Tells you all you need to know.

I actually would have preferred Kele as the #9 in that game and gone for an all EPL Frontline. Especially since his clubmate Lookman was starting as well. Anyway, it is what it is.

Osimhen's goals got us to the playoff. Don't forget that. Of all the pretenders to take over from the likes of Ighalo, he has been the only one with any level of consistency and effectiveness. The rest are all just "good" on paper but have been completely useless in the SE.

The football career is so so fragile: Simon Moses lost out going to the last World Cup because of injury and now due to NFF/Eguavon incompetence!!! So the lesson is take your opportunity when it comes

I dont feel sorry for him. Not one bit! He will sit at home and watch the world cup, while others will go and use it as a global platform.

They thought they were doing us? its their career, at the end of the day. Me, I will still go to Qatar as planned.

nothing more to add.. i dey go watch USA vs England and Iran ... thanksgiving and Christmas go sweet ooo

Vic failed woefully vs ghana . the most annoying was the daft bicycle kick and the useless header he took away from Lookman.. he was super selfish and was looking for glory . I have lost huge respect for all the SE players and they are rubbish, I care nada for them.. just look at the trash clubs they all play for .. they are getting paid big time and to them nothing matters..make them go do themselves . I have zero empathy for the SE or any of those losers that just completed the playoffs.. couldn't defeat trash defenders like amartey and djoku..my goodness

may the ones like Mikel who qualified us for 3 straight worldcups, continue to get blessings none stop. Mikel was and is truly a boy wonder

To be harsh here. He and Nigeria didn't deserve to be at the WC. He skipped Afcon that could have been used to prepare for the qualifiers and he failed to score against Ghana.

[Rawlings]

Osimhen was overconfident
He told some friends in Italy that, Naija got the weakest team and that Ghana did not stand a chance
