He was named Obagoal for a reason

Makinwa (Palermo) was the one that struggled

Oba scored 28 goals in 88. Osimhen 47 in 79 in the same Seria A (most of these goals are extra...).
Please, let us stop disrespecting Osimhen. Obafemi was disappointing several times in Super Eagles jersey!
This is Osimhen first major tourney as a starter. By next AFCON, he would be in a club that respects him and will be psychologically prepared to play!

True sha...

Joebie:
Good analysis.

in summary
1. Peseiro found this setup after injury to Ndidi and later Yusuf. He had to deploy Iwobi to a more defensive role
2. The team is well drilled to defend as
a unit and occupy spaces as well as transition to attack quickly.

My issue with Peseiro remains making tactical changes not just because he is forced to but to switch up play either to kill the game or counter when the opponent has made changes and are attempting to exploit weak areas in the team. Angola exposed Peseiro in this.

Since the AFCON started and until the Angola game I’ve not criticized Peseiro. Even after our first game vs EG which ended in a draw, I praised the team.



I read somewhere that he actually tried this set up in our friendly against Mexico. He's been spot on in his substitutions but for the Angolan match. Then again even the players didn't want to come out.

I'm enjoying the Obafemi Martins VS Osimhen comparison on twitter.
I don't know what you guys think. I personally think Obafemi was a better finisher.
Definitely. Obagoal was phenomenal. It's a shame he had not so many goals

some people likes fantasy a lot. They fantasise about all sort of needless experiments. How can anyone even suggest dropping Osimhen on the bench for any other bench SE striker at AFCON.?

1 goal and 2 assist at this AFCON.

I am one of the biggest critique of Peseiro, but the moment I noticed he has introduced an ultra defensive tactics that ensure we don't concede unneccasry goal at this tourney while still creating goal chances, I gave him my support.
No mind komekn and his lust for unpredictability

If Osimhen had scored 3 our 6 big chances, he’d have 4 goals now. So Osimhen could excel in this set up. He’s just missed some chances.

Likewise Moffi. All this set up talk. In a 3-4-3 you have a point man. Moffi has played in a variety of formations in Nice. As a RF/RW in a 4-3-3. As a CF in a 4-3-3 and even as a CF in a 3-4-3 (where he also scored). See below their game vs Lyon

Yea you are right, I was just irritated with his statement that kc and moffi cannot score in this setup like are they amateur players
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 9:10pm On Feb 06
@bolded partially true because the situations prior to the Angola match was different. Anyways you have finally come close to what I’ve been saying. .

Most of those appearances was as substitute. This is what the stats won't tell you. Obafemi was competing for game time with seasoned strikers like Adriano, Vieri, Cruz. Martins never struggled in Seria A. He normally gets onto the pitch with 20 mins remaining and bangs!

No contest...Obagoal's finishing trumps this current version of Osimhen in that aspect. Osimhen needs to improve his finishing to take his game to a different level.


and the same oba had lesser goals in serie A when compared to osimhen?🥱

Caprisun!!

I don't agree, bruh! Obagoal was underwhelming for Nigeria! No AFCON or World Cup highlights! At club level, Osimhen finishing is on another level! Past things always seem better than it actually was!

You Dey mind them, I just hear names anyhow simple question is what trophy did they win for Nigeria. Na so person Dey argue say Yakubu Dey more clinical the same Yakubu wey miss open net like like Moses parted the Red Sea. Yeye comparison. I love Martins but please you got to mention strikers like emenike before him, those are winners.

The matter weak me. Because Osimhen is very food, dem come dey talk like Moffi dey chop bench for France. Somebody who is known to explode in big games.

He wasn't an automatic starter at Inter Milan. It's even a miracle how he gets on to the pitch at all with legendary strikers like Adriano, Vieri etall. A testament to how highly rated he was.
The move to Newcastle was a bad one. Valencia was supposed to be the better option where he could have played with David Villa.

Caprisun as per caprikon.

Obagoal's game time at Inter can't be compared to Osimhen's who rarely makes substitute appearances in Naples.

Like I said, I used the eye test, not stats.

Understand the context before capping your own.

Lol you this kid again? Boy it is obvious you are a product of a violent rape, hence you come here behaving like an animal, but I'm the wrong person to take out your anger on. Direct the anger to your miserable father who couldn't control his sexual urge while molesting the bitch that bore you as a son. If he had been in control of his orgy he probably would have pulled out and nutted outside to save that moronic whoré the stress of carrying you for nine months.

Osimhen rose to score 26 league goals in the same Seria A.
More than any African including George Weah.
How was Oba's performances in other clubs.
Never at Osimhen level? Never!!

You still don't get it. If Osimhen was competing with Adriano, Crespo, Vieri at 22, you reckon he will get enough game time to hit 26 goals?

If he was better than those strikers, he would be a starter and perhaps score more goals but he wasn't better. Oshimen was not only a starter but the best in Serie A. It's that simple
