Re: Is Iheanacho injured?
Musa not as good as Vardy? You’re mad. Let vardy wins European cup, score braces at World Cup, wins numerous leagues then come back Let me be straight up about something. Musa won the Russian League, that's it. 1 PL > 3 Russian League titles, facts not feelings. Also average players have scored at ...

Re: Is Iheanacho injured?
The Lack of Service and lack of proper tactics are an issue but Nacho does lack quality. Even if you play him to his Strengths he doesn't offer much, we saw this in the World Cup. His issue is that he doesn't offer much else other than finishing and even that left him due to him not positioning hims...

Re: Isaac Success v Everton...
I don't think he is that great and while serviceable to this team isn't that great either. Yeah he wins fouls but his passing isn't that good and he has issues with his decision making. Also he plays too far from goal as a striker and clearly isn't a winger. I think he would do a bit better centrall...

Re: Nacho wins pk
Football IQ is the least of Keles issues. Unless you’ve never played football, first touch, shooting etc can definitely be worked on. I disagree. He has made some head scratching decisions in his last batch of games for Nigeria and made some horrible ones in the World Cup. Also he has made some rec...

Re: Bournemouth 1 VS Arsenal 1
Iwobi deserves some tongue lashing for not trying a shot on goal there. My bro, I have been trying for a few years now to decode Iwobi. He has the talent and the brains. For some reason, he plays like a "nearly" star. More importantly, there is NO cohesion between Xhaka, LT, Mkhi and Alex...

Wouldn't have commented but, please what "age"? I can list players that bloomed well over 25 including the great Drogba. Like I told you, even Rorh realizes that the issue is more in the head, than talent. All you have listed can be worked on, that is why they train daily. My goodness... ...

Re: Nacho wins pk
If you cannot stick with your players, during their lows. Why should they with you. Kelechi unfortunately is a player that thrives on confidence. His on and off situation at his club is clearly affecting this young man. Even Rohr was speaking of this recently. Leicester is custom built for Vardy, t...

Re: Leicester 0:0 Burnley
Iheanacho has some issues. I think he would do better playing in a team outside of England that plays the ball on the ground and where he is the focal point of every attack. His issue is that he has a lot of limitations in his first touch, work rate and pace, but is a good finisher. I think in a tea...

Re: LEICESTER VS WH (0-1)
I honestly think Iheanacho needs to go down to a developmental league, he needs to get to a league where he can play football and get to the basics of his game. His ceiling is falling a lot.

Re: LEICESTER VS WH (0-1)
I don't want to sound like that guy but Kele really hasn't done much. He is not watching his lines and that's why he was offside for both of those calls, he hesitates when the ball is near him and isn't anticipating any runs. Even with how things are, Nacho is incapable of being a lone striker at th...

Re: Senegal forces mighty Madagascar to 2-2 draw........
Madagascar are minnows, just because Senegal has a poor defense doesn't change that. Look at Egypt, they know how to handle minnows by beating Niger 6-0. The problem is that their is a HUGE DECLINE in African football. This started with some of the big dogs from west Africa failing to qualify for th...

Re: Why Nigeria is Due 3 points in Seychelles...
The point is we don't have to be overconfident, but we have to win and we should be expected to win. This is not like we are playing South Africa or some near peer rival that is only a few ranks below us, we are playing one of the worst teams in Africa. We need to stop acting timid in these times an...

Re: Kelechi Scores in the EFL Cup
Each time you watch Kelechi it affirms that he is perhaps one of the best Nigeria had ever had in front of goal. He always always strikes the ball with a plan of where to shoot at. It is just the other parts of his game that leave much to be desired. He is a natural goal scorer. But you can tell it...

Re: Why I believe in Simy Nwankwo - Rohr
The thing I worry about with Simy is that he has not played consistently in top flight football anywhere and that he has been relegated twice, in both Portugal and Italy. We really need to find a better quality consistent goal scorer in our ranks.

Re: Rumours
For those saying that he is so good, if you include his championship time he only has 45 career goals in 341 appearances with not many assists to go with that. For any team aspiring to be a top team they aren't looking for players like Moses. We can tolerate him at the national team because we don't...

I agree with Solowe on a lot of this. There are only a few things I disagree with. As for Heliopolis. African football needs to improve but like Solowe said, all of that good play doesn't mean anything if you don't know the others areas of gamesmanship. Look at Morocco, apart from finishing they pla...

None of us have any right to tell a grown man of about 25 years how to live his life. He made the choice and must live with the professional and personal consequences and benefits of that decision.
