Lol please free them doc it's their coping mechanism shifting goalposts. First it was Osimhen can't score against big teams, now it's Serie A is a dead league same dead league that currently has three teams in the second round. Same dead league that Napoli flogged Liverpool senseless earlier in the season.

TheSuperNerd:
Explain why Salah didn't score as much in Serie A as he did in only his first season in England.

Salah hasn't gone below 19 in England in the last 5 seasons but couldn't surpass 15 in Italy. Smh.

Also, Lukaku is back in Serie A. Why hasn't he outscored anyone?

Kvara is certainly one of the X-factors in the league and in this Napoli team but so also is Osimhen. Kvara leads in attacking sequence involvements in the league but that is unsurprising as he is a fantastic vertically-oriented creative winger.

Kvara have had his down moments too. He struggled vs Roma at the Olimpico while Osimhen came up Clutch. Kvara wasn't present vs Atalanta while Osimhen scored and assisted in the lad's absence.

Osimhen has come up Clutch for Napoli more than any other player in the league this season.

Both are tops and Osimhen is indeed the main man. It takes a lot of Composure and top mentality to be able to get on the end of moves like Osimhen have done times and again this season.

And he doesn't get spoon fed all the time. He literally has to FIGHT for some balls that look like lost causes and create goals out of them. Like he did today vs Spezia for the first goal. Like he did vs Ajax in the UCL or like he did vs Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Funny how you lots wanna talk down on the Serie A now because Osimhen is doing great damage to the league's defensive-minded reputation.


Please say something else.

Oga no one said Osimehn is a bad player what people are saying is that the league is Dead. Btw, how come our superstars couldn’t score in 180 minutes vs Ghana after all those hype that season You can fool some people sometimes but you cannot fool everyone all the time

Mujtahida:
Such unselfish play for Kvara to gift that assist to Osimhen. I presume that this duo are either friends off the pitch or Kvara like some great players like Bergkamp, Xavi, Ozil enjoy giving assist.

Osimhen is unstoppable now. The elements have aligned for him. He is his name - Victor!

That’s what Victor gets for unselfishly allowing other players to score penalties. If it was insigne, that one must shoot at any chance

Same Hakimi that went ghost mode against a whole BENIN REPUBLIC at the 2019 AFCON. Same Hakimi that was knocked out by Salah and inshallah FC at last year's AFCON?

Just because of a fairytale run where he was one of a few good contributors to Morocco's performance he deserves APOTY? You should have mentioned Ziyech too na.

Kvara is currently carrying that team. I hope he doesn’t get injured. We all saw how Osimhen performed when he played alongside “selfish insigne “
kvara will not even see 1 pass if insigne is playing in that team.

Insigne was Napoli.

Now Victor is the undisputed King of Naples, and soon ITALIA.

Okay let me start this debate
Iheanacho & Osimhen both won best u17 players
They’re probably on the same level but Man City altered that dudes trajectory by converting him to a striker
Playing as a winger, supporting striker or striker.
Will both ever go for Olympics
I doubt

Why do keep insisting on a two legged game that happened last year? So big stars don't mess up a times? Did Salah carry Egypt to the world cup? Did Mahrez inspire Algeria to beat Cameroon? Guy did you bet your life savings on the Ghana game cos I don't understand again!

Somebody has been scoring double digits in top 5 European leagues four seasons running now and you're saying you cannot be fooled. When will you be fooled when he wins the league or finishes top scorer?

This Action right here leading to the first Goal for our lad was all about Osimhen's Desire and Knack to fight for loose balls/certain lost causes.

He wasn't spoon-fed this one. He went for it and plucked a Goal forcefully out of the air.

A Monster Menace. The One and the Only Monster Machine 🔥💥🤝🏽

mehn, not many people will score this goal.

Infact, not many strikers will even attempt to context the ball when the keeper and a defender was there(nobody wan collect blow for head)
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 5:59pm On Feb 05, 2023
@Emboldened... This!!! Well said!!!

Osimhen actually risked taking a blow to the head to score that beautiful headed goal yet some wanna convince that he is being carried by Kvara.

Even Kvara's assist vs Roma at the Stadio Maradona still left Osimhen with some work to do and Osimhen produced a Goal of the Month Masterclass.

Both lads are special and doing well but putting Osimhen down to talk up Kvara is being dishonest.

The same fairy tale run Osimhen and his likes could not do. Hakimi stands a better chance than Osimhen. Or do you think National team games do not matter? It’s an African award.

It’s not by scoring tons of goals against the bums of africa like Sierra Leone, Lesotho, Benin, CAR and São Tomé.. Where did he lead his team to?

Who be this kid na? George Weah won the world player of the year, but couldn't qualify his country for world cup. He only played at 2002 nations cup. That doesn't mean he was a bad player.

having looked critically and done my analysis, suffice it to say that Using Lukaku as a stick to beat Osimhen’s Serie A performances is not fair. Lukaku scored 24 non penalty goals in the PL… His best tally in Italy, being serviced by the best team of that league was 18 non penalty goals..

Osimhen is a pressing machine, nothing like Lukaku and he is very good on the air (again nothing like Lukaku)… i can go on and onn and onn....

notwithstanding, that does not change the fact that Kvara is a future ballon D'or winner IMO,

Guardiola will sits down and decides to get his selections wrong, same thing he did that made him lose to Chelsea at the UCL final.
How on earth will Guardiola bench De Bruyne and Gundogan against Tottenham and plays 4 attackers instead?
Again, I feels Diaz and Laporte on the bench are much better and coordinated than Akanji and Ake

How many goals and assists did Hakimi drop at the world cup that makes him deserving of an APOTY award?

Well if you can't score against bums to help your country win a major medal that they haven't won in over 50 years then what is your use?

So after finishing his playing career Hakimi will show his grandkids 'I got to the world cup semifinal' medal abi? grin

I am a big fan of Kvaratskhelia AKA Kvaradona and I admit he has Ballon Dor potentials. Arguably the most exciting two legged wing wizard in world football today.
His direct vertical playing style is a problem for many teams.
