After another lacklustre performance in a 1-0 defeat to Lazio at the Stadio Diego Maradona, supporters are questioning whether even Erling Haaland could replicate Osimhen’s success in this Napoli setup.
Lukaku’s struggles leave fans disillusioned
Lukaku’s latest outing against Lazio summed up his struggles since arriving at Napoli. With just 15 touches, 10 completed passes, and no shots on target in 90 minutes, the Belgian forward failed to influence the game.

His substitution for Giovanni Simeone in injury time was met with loud boos from the home crowd, a stark reflection of the growing dissatisfaction with his performances.
The 31-year-old has scored five goals in 13 Serie A matches, but his recent form has been troubling, with just three goals in the last two months.

Lukaku’s ineffectiveness in key matches against Juventus, Atalanta, and Inter has left Napoli’s attack blunt, forcing Antonio Conte to repeatedly substitute him during crucial games.
Fans mock Lukaku, Conte for Osimhen error
The decision to replace Osimhen with Lukaku is increasingly seen as a misstep. Osimhen’s heroics at Napoli made him a fan favourite, and his departure has left a void that Lukaku has struggled to fill.

In contrast with Lukaku’s struggles in Italy, Osimhen has been thriving in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in just nine appearances.
Fans have taken to social media to express their frustration. One commenter on Facebook wrote, “If no be lack of wisdom, how do you think Lukaku can replace Victor? Even Haaland can’t replace Victor in that Napoli team.”

Another added, “Napoli can’t replace the masked man this early… they should go for [Ademola] Lookman or [Victor] Boniface this time.”
Lukaku’s inability to match Osimhen’s impact has not only disappointed fans but has also cast doubt on the club’s transfer strategy and as Napoli continue to struggle offensively, the decision to entrust Lukaku with the task of replacing one of their greatest modern forwards is coming under increasing scrutiny.

Mohamed Salah has just over six months until the end of his Liverpool contract but continues to show why the Reds must give him a new contract
Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah proved his worth to Liverpool once again with the winning goal as the Reds triumphed 1-0 away to Girona in the UEFA Champions League.
Salah put any worries about his future at the club behind him to tuck away a second-half penalty to give Liverpool a deserved win that sees them remain at the top of the Champions League table, with six wins from six matches.
Liverpool were on top of their opponents for most of the game, but needed Salah’s decisive kick after Luis Diaz had been fouled in the box as well as a handful of heroic saves from the returning Alisson Becker to maintain their perfect Champions League record.
How it happened
The Reds nearly scored early through Virgil van Dijk, but Girona’s Paulo Gazzaniga tipped his header over. Girona threatened with chances from Alejandro Frances and Bryan Gil, but Alisson’s heroics kept them at bay.
In a frenetic first half, Darwin Nunez missed opportunities, while Alisson denied Yaser Asprilla’s swerving effort.
After the break, Alisson continued to shine, saving from Arnaut Danjuma before Liverpool broke the deadlock after VAR awarded a penalty for Donny van de Beek’s foul on Luis Diaz, with Salah converting.

Despite their lead, Liverpool struggled and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late free-kick was denied, ensuring a narrow win that flattered the Premier League leaders against a spirited Girona side.
