by missing an empty net ? not coming from a credible source

It’s quite an old clip from when he first burst onto the radar with Villa.

Plus it was an U-19 game…

...dribble eleven players yet did not score, even if na u-10 you gotta score, put the damn ball in the net at the end of your slalom rum.

Damn....impressive!!

He has declined a lot since then

He didn’t decline. He just hasn’t improved his game. Teams have figured out how to take his left foot away to neutralize him. His game is mostly run and cut inside with his dominant foot like Arjean Robben used to do.

Case closed.
I want to compare him with Saka of Arsenal, but the difference is evident.

He needs to develop other aspects of his game to be more relevant at
the club and national team levels. If his 'game' stagnates, he will quickly
disappear as 'style' alone cannot define his quality to either.

I agree. He will fade quickly if he doesn’t improve his game. Yeremy Pino at his club has overtaken him in terms of valuation & preference.

I also blame our coaches. Samu gets starts here and there but he is mostly used as an impact sub to run at tired defenders. Checkout his goal in the UCL against Bayern. Yet our coaches continues to start him and we wonder why he underwhelmed at 2 ANC & the WCQ.

Roben was predictable but still unstoppable, he even played for one of the biggest clubs till retirement...I just think it has to do with Chukwueze's predictability coupled with his longterm injury.
