BOOOMNAIJA:
Sadiq's best match for Nigeria at AFCON was the match against Tunisia which Nigeria unfortunately lost...and he was so good in that match because he was brought in at a time when we needed a goal so badly against a team which was already a goal ahead.

Now let me break it down..

No right thinking fellow should use that single match to conclude that he's better than osimhen because osimhen would av done far better on the day, seeing that Nigeria was a goal down in d knockout round.

For a team like Nigeria that did so well in d group stage, and then went a goal down in a round of 16 match, even if an amateur striker was brought in at that point, he would av played his heart out just like Sadiq did....its just pure psychology and not a big deal.

So pls let's drop this crazy idea that Sadiq is better than osimhen abeg.

While Pinnick and Eguavoen are jollying in London they should help out with Nwakali's club situation, I think Nwakali will be a pivotal member of the SE in the years to come

Oga rest. Na where Dem talk say Sadiq better pass osihmen. you go just sit-down dey manufacture controversy.

If you were next to me, I would had sounded you a dirty slap for saying such

You obviously didn’t watch Afcon

drDoom3:
Osimhen needs to learn intelligent play if he wants to achieve his full potential. Football is not only pace, muscle and gra-gra. Know when to pass, when to stop and bring others into play, when and how to slip through passes (which I have never seen him do), etc. Imagine a 70 million striker struggling with offsides at this level, it is frankly embarassing tbh. I hope he keeps on working on himself and he knows he is not the finished product yet.

hossana today, nail him tomorrow

zuchyblink:
If you are good you are good. Let us stop eating players by the league they play. We have seen players in Egyptian, Tunisian, Saudi, Nigerian leagues make exploits in their national teams. It is fallacious rating a player by the league he plays. Odion Ighalo won AFCON golden boot playing in China, Vincent Aboubakar won AFCON golden boot playing in Saudi.

komekn:


Aboubakar was an outstanding player before he went to Saudi Arabia proven, tested and consistent. It was his exploits that got him to Saudi Arabia on CRAZY money £££$$$$€€€€.

He did not drop I quality his quality remains he is just getting paid a lot more.

But when you have been playing all your career in backwaters league it's a reflection of poor performance low level quality and inability to rise to a higher standard.

Sometimes players drop standard and performance and drop to lower league where they can compete at that level.

Ighalo was outstanding in the EPL and on the basis of that performance followed the money £££$$$ to China and following that to Saudi Arabia for even more money. If he wasn't a quality player he would not have been invited to Manchester United.

So please keep matters in context and stop this misleading narrative.

Offsides per game in comparison to Osimhen

Osimhen:0.5
Halaand: 0.5
Lukaku: 0.8
Ronaldo: 1.0
Salah: 0.5
Mane: 0.5

I can go on..

That narrative is an exaggeration from just one game. Make una calm down. You are not Napoli. Osimhen will not lack suitors and Napoli will not sell him easily.

zuchyblink:
you are the one with misleading narrative. Some players are late bloomers and may not go to Europe or bigger clubs because of their age. Some are comfortable where they are Aboutrika,Gedo,Hossam Hassan, Hakan sukar, Ahmed Hassan,Rainford Kalaba,weal Gomaa,Ali Maloul,Rashidi Yekini,El hadry and others did not play in big leagues. Does it mean they were not good?

Joebie:
I have seen Sadiq in the national team. And my verdict is he is our #2 man!
Osimhen is still the man. All the things Victor is being criticised for lately is just as a result of his recent games. Victor is still far from his full potential yet. And you know what that means.

drDoom3:


The irony is that he was better at all those when he was in Lille. Ligue 1 is a very physical league, so having muscle and pace alone does not suffice. He had to learn finishing, positioning, and link up to succeed at Lille. Victor rarely missed one-on-ones at Lille, he was very efficient in his shooting especially at the beginning of the season.

Apparently, Serie A is not as physical, coincidentally, Victor was also adding muscle. It seems he started overrelying on physical dominance to oust opponents and his development in other areas regressed to an extent. For games against smaller clubs where you don't need to be prime Ronaldo technically to succeed, he was performing as expected. However, against bigger teams where strength is not enough and things like positioning and tactical awareness come into play, he seems to struggle. I would argue he should probably have stayed one more season at Lille to hone his tactical abilities before making the big money move.

In all honesty from what I have seen of Sadiq over the years from his abysmal mediocrity at Ranger's to his recent showing in the SE.

He will struggle in English league 1.

Maybe he need to stay in Segunda Division or the less competitive and much slower and not so physically taxing Spanish football.

Well not exactly an attacker but Mikel Obi comes to mind sir.

drDoom3:


That's because no one in Serie A plays a high line against Napoli. It backs up my point earlier that the league is helping him conceal the poorer parts of his game which will hurt him in the long run. It is not an exaggeration or just a fluke, there have been flashes for a while now.

People call it HATE.

But when Victor was at Wolfsburg I could see why he was not getting game time. He was technically and tactically naïve.

He did not have the knowledge base to jump straight in and compete. It's in that context I said he would struggle at most academies in England.

I felt a move to a lesser league where his main attributes of speed and agility and as a true 9 he will have more success. That has happened but those handicaps are getting a bit more exposed now.

He has to learn, but for a £75 million player it may be strange to some.

*COACH FINIDI GEORGE FEELING THE HEAT AT ENYIMBA FC*
Unfortunately, it seems Coach Finidi is not fully getting it right based on recent results and rumoured fallout with regular players in the team.

Positively, Enyimba FC is Nigeria's most decorated and highest ranked club in the history of African club football and a top brand with high standards

Prominently, football goes beyond being a USA 94 celebrity

*Can we see a model in the coaching style of Finish George?

With 6 wins, 5 loses and 3 draws Enyimba is on 7th position out of the champion league spots

Probably ,it's early days ...

drDoom3:


Wrong. He was good enough to easily get game time at Wolfsburg, he was just unlucky. As much as I complain about Victor he is still way above most other strikers his age technically. Physically he is a monster and that is mostly enough to succeed. However, if you want Haaland or Mbappe levels you need more and that is only where I feel he can do better because he has the potential.

Wow. What abysmal finishing to score a rocket from over 20 yards. Such a player cannot even succeed in English league two, let alone league one.

The second goal was even the worst, what a poor chip from the edge of the box on his weaker foot. He should have used more power in the chip like Premier league quality strikers do. He is such an embarassment to not only Nigerian football, but footballing history in general. Maybe with his height he may succeed in basketball, although it is highly unlikely because he always falls like a bag of beans anytime breeze blows him.
