Very laughable sir... Imagine the extent he went just to back up his agenda.



And it is even more amusing that a youth player is the one keeping Ejuke away from starting lineup.

Honestly not disrespecting Ejuke,he has the skill but somethings are missing in his game which he must address before it’s too late.

🇩🇪Victor Boniface broke a 29-year-old Bundesliga record with 38 shots in the first five matches of the season.

His response?

“If you have 38 shots on goal as a player, you should have scored at least 25 goals. So I don’t want to congratulate myself on that.”

Elite mentality🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ejuke needs to as a matter of urgency add end product to his game.

Dribbling up and down without any goals or assists will never move a serious minded manager/coach.

He will go far with such mentality.

What does Ejuke bring to the game? Aimless dribbles.

Have you ever pondered on the purpose of such dribbles?
A non supportive midfield, a poor build up of play, a crowded box, etc, can force a player to make dribbles in order to create space for himself or for others.

You have not noticed he passes the ball well?

check this YouTube clip of his and if you are observant enough you will pick out few times he was suppose to release the ball in dangerous areas but didn’t

no one is against dribbling but it should be done when required not aimlessly with zero purpose and final ball

Coaches of this generation frowns at players who tend to hold the ball and not releasing it on time to initiate fast breaks/counter attacks.

coaches like pep,Jose,kloop,arteta,ancelotti etc doesn’t tolerate such players

to me is not even about the goals and assist but releasing the ball when he is suppose to do that

Problem with Ejuke is even when he needed to play a simple pass to set up an attacker he chooses to dribble. And to make it worse he often dribbles into tight positions.

charlesemeka85:
he shouldn’t unless Napoli accepts to put a buy out clause of 120m euros which the player and his agent hv been demanding

De Laurentiis is a greedy man just like spurs Levy.

If osimhen signs without the buy out clause he should be ready to play out majority of his career at Naples because no club will sign him above 100-130m euros

I don't see ADL letting him go next summer. He'd do whatever he has to do to keep him.

This was why I was sceptical about his Napoli's move.

When rating Nigerian players against each other, what matters more for me is what each player offers the national team.
Lookman has contributed a lot more than Ejuke as far as the SE is concerned

it doesn’t work that way boss especially when a player hv just a season left in his contract

ADL won’t be foolish to allow him leave for free in the summer of 2025

Sir Meli,a Belgian Under 21 player of Congolese descent Michel Balikwisha benching Ejuke meaning he is better than Lookman,Chuckwueze and Simon.

Pls stop disrespecting super eagles players.

Sir, please i am sorry to admit that he is. You can check him up. He is not a ghost, he is human.

Decision-making. That is the nutshell of Ejuke's problem. He doesn't know when to pass and when to go it alone if need be. He tends to overdo and that messes up his plays. So many decisions in his head and he can't pick the right one.

But more than just that is Ejuke's inability, for now, to strike a balance between playing on the inside and the outside. Doesn't know how to bring Pausa into his game despite his skills abundance.

Please and please... don't ever disrespect our wingers just because you want to push your Ejuke agenda (which is invalid in the first place). If Ejuke can't even make the matchday squad in Belgium league, he has no business in eagles set up.



Who TF is Balikis? How is he better than Samu and Lookman?


And tell me, which do you prefer between output and keeping possession? At the end of everything, goals and goals are what matter.

I am not disrespecting our players. They should keep improving like Samuel Chukwueze is doing now.

Kog45:
Michel Balikwisha is Belgian Under 21 player for God sake.

Sorry.

Meliforme. Your thoughts on our lads are ones I love to read and you have nailed it spot on as regards Aribo and a few others but on no planet is Michel Ange Balikwisha better than Samu Chukwueze and Ademola Lookman. He isn't even better than an in-form Samuel Kalu who is even now in the Swiss Super League.

This is so untrue. Ejuke is being benched by a player who even Olakunle Olusegun and Yira Sor will give a good run for his money in any starting XI.

TheSuperNerd, I will respond to this.

Even Rashford at your club has this same problem. Decision making
Decision making is what really kills some decent players and in Ejuke's case it is far more glaring.

The only difference between Rashford and Ejuke is one has better finishing.

But in truth both are frustrating players when it comes to making decisions on the ball.

I know you would. But no amount of analyses will alter this analytical truth: Michel Ange Balikwisha is not better than all our wingers.

I don't even have to go deep because I know the profiles of all our wingers and he certainly doesnt tower above 3 at most and doesn't come close enough to the level of 2 and I have watched Balikwisha well for 3 seasons.

Rashford’s biggest issue is not excessive dribbling but selfishness

He is a selfish and lazy prick who only plays for himself

I am among united fans who wants him out of the club because his presence in the team starves Hoijlund crosses and easy passes from the left flank

Also he doesn’t track back to help when the team is chasing possession

🚨 Barcelona are now under formal investigation for alleged bribery over payments made to Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira in return for favourable refereeing decisions. The payments totalled €7.3m.

Spanish police also raided the offices of Spain's referees' committee, to gather evidence.

UEFA are also investigating the matter and Barcelona deny any wrongdoing.

I didn't say dribbling. I said one compound word.... "DECISION MAKING".

that Yira Sor guy I was hopping by now he will be a regular starter at Genk

I had high hopes when he joined the Belgian side

When I finally totally lost it with Ejuke was when he blew the chance to make it 2-0 vs Egypt at Afcon 2021 in January 2022.

Kelechi Nwakali on for his Cameo had sent a fine pass releasing Ejuke whose speed brought him one on one with El Shenawy.

All Ejuke had to do was cutback to Sadiq or Iwobi but what did he do? Decided to throw the chance at the Gk despite how impossibly tight that angle was.

Decision making has been his bane. Frustrating player.

How in the hell did Ejuke become a topic of discussion in here? That boy plays secondary school football nah. We should concentrate more on pro ballers not some inter-house sports footballers nah.

'Been used more through the middle as a CF than as a winger this season in about 3 of the 5 games he's played in the league. He needs a run of games in his preferred wing forward role. That way we would see his best. John Paintsil and Co aren't making that opportunity come easy despite Mike Tresor's departure.

Same game I finally wrote him off

Yeah I slowly began to reduce my expectations of Ejuke after that game too. Decision making like you rightly noted is rocket science for him.

What's your assessment of Nathan Tella? Is he a diamond in the rough or just basic?

Nobody said they shouldn't improve. What you said about Balikis been better than all our wingers since he is benching Ejuke at Antwerp is actually a disrespectful statement. TBH, I had to check your moniker again because that doesn't look like something you would type.

Is this still football or what is going on here?

Iwobi's goal.
Stunning debut.
