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.

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

10 minutes is enough in any game to make an impression.

The more you perform the more game time you get, the less you perform the less game time you will get. There is no discrimination.

He is also in competition for places with other player's.

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.

Your usual UEFA club coefficient has CSKA Moscow in the top 50 clubs in Europe, while Leicester could only be found in the number 77th position. So, being a hit in a big club like CSKA is way better than doing it for Leicester. grin

That's what you perceived.

If you are able to take in the very basic premise made.

I said you EARN. the right to play you don't have a right to play.

How do you earn it ❓With what you do in TRAINING and in the match.

So Brendan Rodgers and his coaching staff did not select him why You will have to ask them.

But before you think they are biased and prejudiced as well as racist, let me remind you that Kole Toure is his assistant.

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.

The superb performances that Kelechi exhibited last season was enough reasons to become a full blown starter this season. But, Rodgers benched him from the on set despite his superb world class performances last season. Remember,
1) Kelechi was Leicester top scorer last season despite playing lesser minutes
2) He was their best player at the Fa cup and contributed a huge amount to that trophy

Despite all these Facts, Rodgers benched him from the onset this season.. the question is, will such injustice occur to a British born player?? Kelechi also should be blamed for signing a contract that dosent include first team football


That contract Iheanacho signed was a painful one. Why do that? He had marketed himself well. Make it clear that he wants to leave. Clubs will rush him because they will sign him at a cheap price.

I just tire.

I want to believe you can make simplistic deduction.

I made reference to Tega Abraham at Chelsea, there is a big difference between Ademola and Abraham.

So can you tell me where the hypocrisy is you and the bigoted blindly prejudiced people who liked your nonsensical proposition without an iota of substance.
you made reference to Tega at Chelsea I made reference to Chukwueze at Villarreal but if you don't gerrit, forgerrit

But let me help you abit sha.

You did you find excuse for Tega but couldn't get one for Chukwueze if you yourself isn't bigoted blindly prejudiced to your innit boys? Until you answer this question to yourself sincerely, you might not get the point I was trying to make.

I believe his time is up .

After 6 seasons of anonymity despite all these opportunity to show his talent he has not been able to RISE. He is 23 whether his age is true or not , he has had ample opportunity to prove himself but he has failed.

The naked hypocrisy , bigoted double standard that is expressed here in relation to Nwakali is without measure.

You would think he is the only Nigerian Midfielder playing football for goodness sake.

Meanwhile if I mention any player in the Championship many will say the level is too low. Segunda Division is very poor on all levels comparatively be speaking.

Imagine he is the lowest paid player in Huesca does that not say something about how much they value him as a player.

There are league two clubs that pay much more in England.
This tournament might be a turning point in his career, you never can tell. Hopefully, he turns out good for the team

Leicester have tried after spending £25 million , if he was British the player would have been let go ages ago. But unfortunately nobody wants him.

Try and be balanced and so blatantly biased where KC is concerned.

If he was sure of his ability why did he not leave and go somewhere else even take a pay cut and prove yourself .

Demerai Gray didn't get game time and so he moved on now he has almost benched Iwobi at Everton, and he is English.

So you argument holds no water at all , nationality has nothing to do with it.

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. grin

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. grin

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. cheesy

For Christ sake Nacho should go on loan. Move to a club in need of a striker, that will guarantee playing time and option to buy.

Well it is his life. He has already gotten his alert for last week. Who knows, Onyi Alex has touched down in England.

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.

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.

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.
