Player of the week in the Tolotolo champions league @the monkey guy that hates and likes to spew rubbish
@Monkey Brain must grow up.
Foden brace were world class though and I think should win it.
Meanwhile, it’s great a Nigerian was noticed in Europe.
Thank you my brother @sly…I love the way you always drop your comments here with no sentiment…
Foden deserve it more…cos his goals were world class and secondly if we look at the quality of the opposition team that he scored against (borussia Dortmund from Germany)….he really deserve it….
Two of osimhen own were penalty not open play if we are judging technically….then he scored the goals against a young, inexperienced and weak opposition….
No team at the champions league is a mincemeat. A goal is a goal irrespective of how it was scored during the open play. @ monkey post appreciate what you have in Osimen. His first goal was a poacher’s goal; the two other goals were excellent spot kicks that further cement a beautiful away game. Lastly, I wish Osimen the best!
