Every of Our Homegrown Najia origin players komekn had insulted in the past are currently doing relatively well by painting the whole of Europe red with goals each weekend from Simy to Osimehn to Iheanacho to Sadiq to Moffi to Onuachu to Olayinka etc whereas all his init borough boys which he has been trying to force down our throats are currently no where to be found, many have been confirmed to be waste pipes strapped to the bench.

These are the supposed messiah of SE that were groomed in the very youth setup of the UK academy with exposure to foreign facilities, coaching and support yet they can't even cut it within their own familiar system. Please where is Josh Onomah?, Solanke? Eze?, Aderiabayo? And almighty Tammy Abraham?

From all evidences available before us, it shows that we in support of locally groomed players knows football very extensively and also knows what these guys are capable of doing and have been proven right but it also shows that sir komekn our resident in house Southgate knows absolutely nothing about football and even his so called English football specialty tag is false and as such he should shamefully tender an apology to the house,

He should be arrested henceforth whenever he comes here again to speak thrash against any of our players again...


For the mean time tho, may thunder fire him wherever he is for trying to cause division here in the past by poisoning our minds with his complete bias against our homegrown players

The way napoli players celebrate with osimehn when he scored made me realize that there isn't any personal discord with him rather they're not used to his fast pace style that's why he doesn't get as much ball as he does at SE. Osimehn is a player that thrives on pace, Running etc while napoli thrives on Slow paced football. So, in order for osimehn to excel napoli has to change their philosophy to suit him or osimehn should change his own philosophy to suit napoli style.. Good goal today!

Osimhen should continue exploiting spaces with his pace. With time the team will sync with him.

Another Crazy Stat on Iheanacho I missed

Still comparing the 2015/2016 Iheanacho with the 2020/2021 Iheanacho.

In 2015/2016, Kelechi Iheanacho finished the EPL Season with the Best Goals Per Mins ratio/Best Scoring frequency. He scored a Goal every 93 mins in 753 mins of EPL football spread across 26 appearances (7 starts, 19 sub ins).


Also in 2020/21, Kelechi Iheanacho has the best EPL Goals Per mins ratio/Best EPL scoring frequency so far.
He has scored a goal every 111 mins in 886mins of EPL football spread across 18 appearances (10 starts, 8 sub ins).


Like I've said already in the Original 15/16=20/21 post, 2020/2021 Nacho is simply 2015/2016 Nacho "Reborn" with Upgrades.

As in eh.... What a day it was. I recall some posts from that day in 2015/16 season. Safarigirl commented that she pulled a muscle while trying to celebrate Iheanacho's goal. grin
Funnily Happy comments made the rounds that day.

People always try to paint me as an over patriotic lunatic but if Brendan Rodgers had taken out Iheanacho at the 70th minute like last game where would those 2 goals have come from? This is why I was angry he got taken off last game. U should never take off your most in form player

Lol. What a top day that was on here. The Joys and excitement of seeing one of our top U-17 products from the Class of 2013 smash in his EPL debut goal in dramatic fashion two years later.
Safarigirl's comment was so funny that I couldn't help but keep it in memory till now. grin

This is part of what football is about. What makes it so beautiful hence the name "The beautiful game".

What a Journey we have observed so far on the lad Sir GoodJoe, yet there's more to come not just from Nacho but from the others as well.

Not at all but was among the top 6 leagues in Europe due to Porto and benfica pedegree in European competitions

Then and till date the Portuguese top flight served/serves as a nursery to top European clubs just like the Dutch league and boast of one of best academy system in European football till date

I will say the Dutch league was slightly ahead of the Portuguese mainly because of Ajax dominance in the UCL in the 70s

Porto won their 1st champions league trophy in 87 abi 88 if am not mistaken before Jose achieved same feat early 2000s while benfica assembled one of the best Portuguese teams led by Mozambique born great eusebio that nearly won it in the 60s. Majority of the players from that team made up the best Portuguese team that came close winning the world cup then as well
