ChrisKels: Now, let us reason am. Russian league is ranked 10th in Europe while Epl is ranked 1st in Europe. Goal scored in top 5 leagues are more superior to those scored outside top leagues. Due to this, Ademola’s goals has more weight than Ejuke’s goals. What do you think? Statistically speaking, Ejuke na em Carry last. 3 Likes |

ChrisKels:Comparing Lookman to ejuke for GWG place is absurd Ejuke is fast becoming a fan favourite with the way he plays for the super eagles the other have not been called to camp yet Lookman will be tried in friendlies after afcon if he grabs the opportunity like Aribo that will the beginning of his rise in the super eagles but if he fails..... others will be called up and tried for now Ejuke have passed that test If ejuke was a brit I am so sure England won't have let him go of their sleeves 6 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: Story. Let them give Jamie Vardy the kind of time Iheanacho is having at Leicester City and let Iheanacho start games like Vardy and let us see if Vardy will not flop in the season. This up there is not logical. You can never make the same impact in ten minutes as one who has 90 minutes. That is illogical and does not add up. Is it today you started watching football? Have you not heard the best way to test a player's quality is to give him a run of full games. So how can you say 10 minutes is enough time. Na wa. This is beyond deceit. No player can pull the kind of performance Iheanacho did yesterday in ten minutes. That blows holes into your point. 15 Likes |

komekn: Leicester City fans have repeatedly commented that Iheanacho has been poorly treated but has repaid them with brilliant performances when given the chance. Please how else will someone EARN the right to play if not by brilliant performances when given the opportunity. Leicester City fans have admitted that Iheanacho is suffering because Rodgers has decided that Barnes must keep playing. That is where the issue is. He opted for a one striker system to accommodate Barnes. It has nothing to do with EARN the right to play. Iheanacho has been treated unfairly and has performed beyond the chances given. That was one of the best teams, if not the best team in Europe he pulled a stunner yesterday and you are still talking EARN the right. Iheanacho has over EARNED the right to play. That is not a topic for debate. If he was a white English boy with such performances, the tabloids will be screaming his name. Foden did not do a quarter of what Iheanacho did and Gary Neville went on a Verbal war with Guardiola for leaving him on the bench. 10 Likes |

ChrisKels: The worse one should be Ejuke if we consider his league and club. In fact, Czech league (8th in Europe) and Peter Olayinka’s club is rated above the Russian league and Ejuke’s club respectively. Hence, Peter Olayinka with 6 goals and 3 assists should be considered ahead of Ejuke statistically speaking. Even Dessers has a better stats than Sadiq Umar with 10 goals and 3 assists and plays in the 7th best league in Europe yet he was ignored for a player in second division with 9 goals and 7 assists. I suspect prejudice and bias selection. |

ChrisKels: Exactly! Since, Peter Olayinka is a hit in Slavia Prague that is ranked 31st in Europe and even playing in the 8th best league in Europe, Peter Olayinka should have been considered. No wonder the coaches sneaked Ejuke in as a midfielder because he doesn’t deserve a spot among the wingers, statistically speaking. |

komekn: It is true in most cases you do earn the right to play. In kelechi Iheanacho's case though it is more complicated than that. Brendan Rogers lives and dies setting up his team with a lone striker. The style and profile of that lone striker is closer met by Vardy and Daka, that's no secret to anyone who has watched Leicester under Brendan for a minute. Kelechi playing means Brendan has to go with 2 strikers and he will only turn to this tactic when forced to do so by injury in midfield. Kelechi will forever be wasted in Leicester City under this current set-up and he knows this. For me his biggest problem is either a severe case of lacking ambition or deep down he doesn't rate himself as highly as Nigerian fans rate him. 3 Likes |

wayodude: Whether Iheanacho rates himself or not, he has performed well. Let us not beat around the bush. Was Iheanacho not a lone striker yesterday? Did he another perform well? All those story Iheanacho can not perform as a lone striker is not true. Give him a run of games as a lone striker and let us see if he will not perform. Also, Iheanacho does not need hype. He has performed incredibly well for Leicester City. That is all. I think he is more interested in his earnings. Not about hype. Iheanacho knows he is a very good player. He grew up performing at a high level and has not stopped. 5 Likes |

komekn: You preach against bias non-stop but from your thoughts you seem to be deeper in it than almost everyone else here! Stew on this... before you continue your 5 seasons narrative... In the equivalent of 79 full games (90 mins) since he joined Leicester City, Kelechi has provided 43 Goals and 23 assists. Those are ridiculous numbers even before considering the stop start nature of his deployment. I say more fool them for using him as sparingly as they have done. 2 Likes |
