Glad Ejuke scored, and that was a well taken goal at that, would surely do good for his confidence.

As for Iheanacho, make I no talk sha. I'm just glad we are seeing young and exciting prospects like George Ilenikhena and Tolu Arokodare already emerging.

Emmanuel Ekong son of ex super eagles midfielder Ikpe Ekong just scored for Empoli against Torino

I’m very happy for Ejike, like you said it will boast his confidence

Abeg is it Ejike or Ejuke sef? as an Igbo man I've never heard of or seen any Igbo name as Ejuke, except it was a case of misspelling in Europe that just stuck.

I posted Busquets' story. He might not have been known today if not that Guardiola noticed a tactical role that would make him flourish. A bad defender in the 3rd division of the Spanish league became one of the best players in the history of football.

Kelechi Nwakali's management needs to get him to play for a possessive manager, even if it is in a low division to make people notice his quality.

This is really a good and sober yet inspiring point. We have seen it time and time again how some players struggle under some coaches or clubs and then flourish under different clubs/coaches. Salah, Henry, De Bruyne are examples that come to mind.

My only reservation is that it's not KC's management that have to get him to play for a possession team. A possession team coach ought to get him to play for his team. We have seen how many times in football, a coach will say 'get me so and so player, I want him'.

Your quality must shine through for this to happen.

You are beating a dead horse. Watch out for another roulette.

When Mikel pulled off a master class performance against Crystal Palace, during the match review, Graeme Sourness, former Benfica Manager said, he did not know Mikel Obi was capable of dominating the midfield in that manner. He was shocked at how good Mikel was.

If the coaches don't know Kelechi Nwakali's capability in mnemonic midfield play, they can't request for him.

That is where his management comes in. They need to give him the exposure by getting him to have a chance with a manager that suits his playing style. It is when he shines in such system that coaches will show interest.

AndSunGorilla:

Oh a low division? I thought League 1 is low enough. But anyways we have Heartland here in 9ja with a coach who understands him or better still such lower leagues as:
1.EFL league 2
2. English National league
3. Scottish Lowland league too


Or maybe Pep might perform another miracle like he did with Sergio.
Thank you sir.

😂😂🤣🤣. This Stray bullet still come Owerri find Emmanuel Amunike

They are still sharpening their machetes. Soon they will arrive with their usual. He should be in top 0 leagues if he is that good.

Iwobinho against Newcastle 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If Cyriel Dessers didn't switch to SE, I honestly feel that he would've found his way to earning a handful of caps for the Belgian team. Maybe more.

Sugarboyy:

Nacho don go
Make he go Astana for Kazakhstan league or Slovan Bratislava for Bulgaria

LOL..

Slovan bratislava is Slovakian not Bulgaria though.

MetalJigsaw:

Slovan bratislava is Slovakian not Bulgaria though.

Yeah yeah, I forgot, thanks.

I seriously don't know why so many Nigerians doesn't rate the guy.
Yeah, he is good at missing clear cut chances but his positioning is awesome... And which SE strikers doesn't miss clear cut chances?

Ademola Lookman for the SE didn't start the way he is now

And we keep playing him as a 10 in the SE 🤔
I noticed that Iwobi work rate has increased, nowadays he is seen also helping his team in defence unlike before, and he can play 90mins now.
Even though Fulham is an attack minded team, Iwobi has improved himself in defending, but Thegoodjoe said we should overlook Nwakali shortcomings and Barnsley should pardon him and allow him to play like a Modric in the team because his name is Nwakali and he did exploits years ago at u17 FIFA world cup 🌎

Na people like Thegoodjoe nor go let our players to improve because they will keep praising them even when they are playing rubbish.

Even though Osimhen is my brother (we are from the same place, so no one can accuse me of hating him), I will soon have that one time because as a striker, you can't be in a team that has scored 8 goals in the both matches he has played and he hasn't scored any.

As bad as Dessers is he would have scored atleast 2 of those 8 goals. It simply shows Osimhen positioning and reading of the game is damn bad and he must work on it.

Icardi that got injured would have scored 3 of the 8 goals, even Batshuayi that's on the bench for Osimhen would have also scored atleast 1 of the 8 goals.

The guy is not making the SE lineup because he isn't playing in Europe.
Ndah carries the ball effortlessly like Adarabioyo and I'm very sure if Adarabioyo decides to play for Nigeria today, he will be sending Ajayi to the bench

Make dem carry their eye comot, Chelsea is my club but they shouldn’t be messing with our players who are even better than what they parade at the moment. Today osihmen tomorrow lookman, next tomorrow boniface mumu management

sureleads:


For one, you seem to have a prejudice about Nigeria and anything that comes from it. You denigrate Nigeria and nigerians at any opportunity so it is expected it will affect homegrown footballers. You prejudicially inject your version of politics and governance in this sport thread so many times when its unnecessary.

You have a right to your opinions, but believe it or not many of your opinions are based on prejudice. I am not a man of many words, so i wont argue or prove anything in a back and forth... you can take it as my opinion...so nothing spoil. Regards

Let's get over the Nigerian thing.

You are not 🚫 more patriotic and or Nigerian than me.

It would have been more helpful if you were specific about players and the claim of prejudice. (Prejudice is an irrational unfair dislike, negative, bias against an idea or persons.)

I am not emotive sentimental and or inclined to blatant favouritism. I do not create a set of variables excluded from the general accepted standards in football ⚽ to assess Nigerian players in exclusion.

It's been claimed by several delusional devoid of rational misguided contributors. That I dislike VO , I simply don't think he is world class.

When he was younger at Wolfsburg I said he need to reinvent himself, get a footballing education and development in a lower league and club to get him career back 🔙 on track. I said that over 7 years ago.

Many called that HATE but that's exactly what he did to get where he is now. That's practical constructive criticism and repositioning it's positive not negative.

From the onset I said Chukwueze was all flash and dribbling with no end product. I I compared him with Jadon Sancho and Saka many screamed 😱 he was better than those players and called it HATE of Nigerian players.

KC I said was over hyped 😞 many said he was the best in Europe that he was better than Mbappe and Gabriel J., I said he was a poor quality quintessential number 9 and he didn't have those attributes. I even said Solanke who was doing nothing at Liverpool FC was a better fit for a Number 9. I said the true test will be when he leaves the Manchester city who made him look much better than he was.

He left Manchester city , Leicester city bought him to compete with Vardy as a quintessential number 9. Well he failed comprehensively one good season in Leicester the rest well below 👇🏿 average. He failed in the championship and is now in Seville doing what 🥴.

Would you call that prejudice and HATE or just outright measured objective appraisal no sentiment involved.

I called Isaab Success a DISGRACE a waste man he even got overweight and was fighting prostitute's in a hotel in London. His football ⚽ abysmal.

I had not time for the Iroko tree that Sadiq Umar his atnics in Glasgow rangers very poor. He is now in LJ a Liga doing what 🤔

Finally the big one to crown it all Nwakali the solution player for the Nigerian midfield. What a big joke 🤣

Tell me one British Nigerian origin player that I have mentioned that once he wasn't performing l mentioned again. Players like Iorfa, Aneke, Onyedinma, Oviemuno, Onomah, etc Surprisingly all these players have done or are doing much better than Nwakali.

Nwakali is in Barnsley FC has made the bench once in 7 games is yet to play a game for the club. I did say Nwakali midfield maestro Will not make it in a League one team.

I think there is huge unbridled blatant bigoted double standard and hypocrisy here.

I am involved believe it or not with English football ⚽ with coaches, clubs , players, managers, agents, recruitment heads, etc and so that perspective is going to reflect in my deductions. That is not prejudice and bias just informed objectivity.

One question ❓ why is he in Orlando not 🚫 in a top league you think he's too expensive.

South African league is not quality so balling in SA means NOTHING. How many years has he been there.

MainJoe:


That is why I started with his management. They have not marketed Kelechi Nwakali to his strength. Get him to play for a pure possessive manager. That is the only way to get his quality to show and get bigger teams to take notice.

When will you elder statesman here stop 🛑 this preposterous nonsense🤯🤯🤯

They didn't market him well.

I am dealing with a youth player who has no agent but three EPL clubs have put in a bid for him. He does his marketing on the football ⚽ field.

Dude please stop 🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑

A player in English league one and has made the bench once in 7 games 🙄🙄 wake up from this delusion.
