Ndidi has gotten many yellow cards this season and finished those matches, and they were playing an understrength Arsenal side so the chances of Ndidi getting a red card was minimal

You don't need to hide your head in the sand

So you wan use yellow card judge player ?

Oya go and Judge Ramos and costa with their numerous red card

Should I also call Nigel de Jong ?

Bros stop trying to bring Ndidi down just because of today game ,so it's a crime he was subbed out first half ?

Yet again. Cameroon overachieves.

They are hardly ever rated as pre-tournament favorites in any competition they participate in. Yet they usually find their way through.


Congratulations to them.

I don't think ball playing abilities are learned they are inborn, I would advise Ndidi to improve what he already has which is goal threat, he has to practice his shot and heading

Spending an eternity with Rodgers will not turn him into Pirlo

In Manchester City, we have seen players improve in the quality of their passing. A good example is Otamendi, so with hard work and the right routines in training, a player's passing quality can improve.

So what's your solution to Ndidi's "problem" as a "SE fan"?
He should quit football?

"I think that now I have an important role because the central defenders have to build-up with the ball and make the team work as best we can. Pep has taught us how to do that," Otamendi said in an interview with CityTV .

"From the first day you work with him you learn from him, even being at home you're still learning from him. Every movement, how you need to be positioned, how you can receive the ball, all this information is in your brain and this is very important for every player. I'm very happy to be playing this kind of football.

"I think that [I've improved most] in the build-up, being able to find the correct spaces and make the right pass. This is something you train for on an everyday basis and this is what I have improved the most since last season.".. Otamendi in his passing improvement.

So players can improve their passing ability but it takes a lot of daily work to improve tactical understanding and decision making. I believe Ndidi is up to the task.

He didn't have a bad game but Rodgers was fed up of him having so much space and doing nothing with it

Ndidi also lost the ball repeatedly when in possession. Arsenal were putting him under pressure when he had the ball. Thus, killing their build up plays and slowing down the tempo of the team. The team was more fluid when Ndidi came off. That is where my fear lies. However, defensively, Ndidi is a big asset to the team.

With what Gundogan has played in the last lap of games this season, I fear a lot of people will move to adopt highly skilled ball playing defensive midfielders. So Ndidi must up his game because football is evolving to favor ball players than breakers.

Leicester City had a lion share of the possession. Dwarfing Arsenal with passes. Thus it is easy to net high accuracy in such situations. However, in the small window Arsenal pressed, Ndidi was unable to dominate possession, thus causing Leicester City a loss in tempo of their play.

Apart from the passing challenge which I blame him trying to hang on to the ball, he had a nice game. Ndidi should start with playing safe with back passes and not try to make forward passes which will require him holding the ball to find spaces.

Guardiola also fought hard for Jorginho but I think Gundogan is doing an awesome job in that role. I hope he renews his contract.

The Reason Why Ndidi Was Substituted At Half-time In Leicester City Win Vs Arsenal
Published: April 28, 2019
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed that it was a tactical decision to substitute Wilfred Ndidi at half-time in his side's 3-0 win against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Nigeria international was in danger of receiving a red card if he had completed the game as he was shown a yellow card by referee Michael Oliver in the 13th minute after catching Granit Xhaka on the shin with his studs.
Seventeen minutes before half-time, The Foxes nearly took the lead but Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno made a brilliant save to keep out a a header from Ndidi.
''In the second half we wanted to be more aggressive, taking off Wilf (Wilfred Ndidi) who was on a yellow card, put an extra creative midfield player in and then putting Harvey [Barnes] wide,'' said Rodgers to Leicester City's official website.
''I thought in the second half we showed great fitness levels, great energy and scored all three very good goals.''
Despite spending only forty five minutes on the King Power Stadium turf, Ndidi racked up a game-high six tackles and also had a joint game-high two interceptions.

Flying Eagles Camp In Ingolstadt Arranged By Controversial Agent; Wilson Oruma Part Of Delegation
Published: April 28, 2019
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that German-based agent Emeka Ezeala arranged the Flying Eagles pre-World Camp training camp in Ingolstadt, Germany.
Ezeala does not have a good reputation back home and it's surprising that the Nigeria Football Federation decided to do business with the former FC Ismaning defender again following the unsavoury incidents that marred the 2013 camping exercise.
At that time, Ezeala was forcing the players in camp to sign representative contracts with his agency before their inclusion on the final roster for the 2013 World Cup.
It is confirmed that former Rijeka youngsters Goodness Odion Ajayi and Jamilu Collins credited the nominated Zenith Bank account of Emeka Ezeala's brother in Nigeria but they were dropped from the squad list.
A 24th home-based player not made public by the Nigerian Federation, Okpave Igbo Edwin has traveled with the team to Germany and officials have claimed that it was a typographical error.
The six officials named in the Flying Eagles traveling party are : ex-Golden Eaglets captain Wilson Oruma, Hassan Abdallah, Baba Abdulahman, Aliyu Lawal Ibrahim, Ozi Salami Abdulrahim, Shaibu Sulaiman.
United Kingdom based coach, Paul Aigbogun has claimed that he will join the team at their hotel later today, Sunday.
The Flying Eagles will camp in Ingolstadt for the next three weeks before heading to Poland for the World Cup.

Exactly what i said... You want to play more aggressively but Ndidi is on a yellow, one mistake and it is 10-10.

Liverpool sent him to a beach in an unknown location , what is Egypt resting him from?

Liverpool also prevented Matip from going to an Afcon

this isn't true...the Egyptian FA left salah out of d squad for our friendly cus they want him to stay injury free and help Liverpool win games. as for Matip he was injured around d time d AFCON was about to start and even after he recovered he refused Cameron invitation before eventually retiring out of frustration... clubs have no right to stop their players from honouring a tournament in d FIFA calendar... but playing u-20 world cup and AFCON won't b good for Samu...

Nigeria
Ebuehi’s AFCON Hopes Boosted After Training For The First Time In Eight Months, Could Go On Loan
The chances of the Benfica right back Tyronne Ebuehi making the squad of the Super Eagles of Nigeria for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations received a huge boost two days back, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.
Ebuehi joined Benfica in the summer on a free transfer from Dutch side ADO Den Haag after impressing for Nigeria at the World Cup in Russia but an injury picked up in pre season has kept him out of the team.
Following a successful surgery and rehabilitation, the 23 year old trained with the rest of the Benfica squad for the first time two days back and shared his joy with a post on his social media handle.
Coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr said last week that he will send a fitness coach to work with the right full back to help improve and also gauge his fitness level before deciding on including him in his AFCON squad.
While he continue to push for his first official game, leaks picked up by Owngoalnigeria.com editorial team has it that he could be sent on loan before the start of next season to a club where he is certain to get playing team to help his fitness level return to it’s best.

I don't want Ebuehi to go to d AFCON.. dude just had a rough year..he should stay back and recover fully and also link up with d rest of his teammates early for pre season and fight for his shirt... We shouldn't risk him getting injured so soon again....

you obviously did not watch the game. Ndidi was the best player on the pitch at halftime according to whoscored . He was rated 7.4 after half time. He was hurled off for tactical reasons. Leicester needed more body upfront because they had a man advantage and also the coach was not gonna take chances leaving Ndidi on d pitch because he(Ndidi) was booked in d first half

If you want to play more aggressive, then you need someone who can help with the build up play than someone less creative.
