Is Osimhen bad at taking penalties?

[danfo driver]

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. You should have just responded: "yes, he is afraid, now go and cry into your pillow."

From as much as I can see, he is #2 officially. But Zielinski, Politano, Elmas, Lozan all take precedence even though he is #2.

I don't think there is any other club in the world where you will see such a thing. Yet people want to convince me that I am on something lol. Sorry but I wasn't born yesterday.

In what universe should this be the pecking order

1) Kvara
2) Zielinski
3) Politano
4) Elmas
5) Lozano
6) Osimhen
??

Even their former players are questioning it, but hey tbite needs to be told what a designated taker is lol.

Former Napoli defender Maurizio Domizzi feels Victor Osimhen should be on penalty duty for Napoli.

Domizzi believes Osimhen should be taking Napoli’s penalties
The former defender questioned why the striker is not preferred
Nigeria forward did not take any of his side’s two spot kicks on Sunday
WHAT HAPPENED? The Serie A leaders had two penalties in their 2-0 victory over Sampdoria on Sunday but Osimhen, the league’s leading scorer, did not take any of them with Matteo Politano stepping to the spot for the first while Elif Elmas took the second.

Politano missed his penalty which was saved by the goalkeeper but Elmas had no such problems as he made the points safe with eight minutes remaining.

That was after Osimhen had given Napoli a 19th-minute lead with a great finish inside the box for his 10th Serie A goal of the season and Domizzi is wondering why the club and league’s top scorer is not on penalty duties.

WHAT DID HE SAY? “The penalty taker issue? It's a bit strange that someone like Osimhen doesn't take penalties, he's the leading striker and the most prolific,” said Domizzi as quoted by Tuttonapoli.

“Evidently either he or whoever on the staff will have decided differently. Usually, the penalty taker is chosen by the coach only partially, it is above all the teammates who choose and recognise the true penalty taker of the team. It's more a question of character and personality, not just technique.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Osimhen has scored only once from the spot this season with Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti rotating the penalty duties among him, Politano (scored four), Elmas (2), Hirving Lozano, Piotr Zielinski and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia all who have scored once.

The Nigeria international could have increased his tally considerably had he been taking penalties consistently given Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, M'Bala Nzola of Spezia and Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic, who are two goals behind him in the Golden Boot race, are among the penalty takers for their clubs.

WHAT’S NEXT? Osimhen has an opportunity to increase his goal tally when Napoli face Juventus in their next Serie A match on Friday.

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. Zielinski, Politano, Kvara have all faltered etc. but that does not seem to factor in?

And I think it is a missed opportunity for Osimhen as far as things like the golden boot go, especially in previous seasons. There is a reason why clubs like to operate in this manner. They only deviate from the norm when things are exceptionally different, which is not the case. I don't think there is any player in Napoli that has proven to be exceptional in that regard. So the deviation comes from nowhere.

Kvara is no Balotelli in the pen, he is no Lampard, he is no Del Pierro. I worded the thread tongue in cheek to ask, why deviate? You ALWAYS choose your most prolific player UNLESS there is something exceptional going on. Which in this case, there isn't. As for the question about character, Osimhen is clearly the leader, even above Di Lorenzo! He was the one that single handedly convinced players like Anguissa that the Scudetto could be won.

Osimhen just doesn’t want to take penalties.
It’s against his religion to take unfair advantage.
Everybody happy now?

Osimhem is playing it smart as regards the PK duties, he intentionally gave it up to Kavara, in order to get assists from Kavara and not create the bad atmosphere he had with Insinge..

Yup! Thats one reason I always avoided Naples pre-Osimhen. Its a very very poor province. One of the poorest in Europe! So, you can imagine why crime is high. But for Osimhen, I wont even consider it, not like there is much to see there anyway.

Even Oma Akatugba just experienced it.
