Kessie has more skill than Nwakali?? Oh because he is at Milan. Lol

Kessie is all power and Brawns. Not much brains.

forgiveness:


You don start again ooooo. Chai! The way you wan take say happy new bi dis?

Anyway, you are welcome back to the thread. I expected you to be here going into the tournament and you showed up.

drDoom3:


This argument of Ndidi standing alone is crap. Onyeka has never been a DMF. He doesn't handle defensive duties for Brentford, he is not a 4. I've watched all Brentford games in the prem so far, Onyeka is most times the one advancing the attack. He also drifts to the wings sometimes to whip in crosses (especially right wing). He wins almost as much fouls in the attacking third as the strikers. Because of his excellent work rate he also helps out a lot defensively with tackles and interceptions. His heat map is almost always in the opponents half (except against big teams when Brentford is parking the bus).

It is just like saying Ndidi cannot play alongside Kante because they are both defensive minded players. Ndidi is a different type of defensive player to someone like Onyeka or Kante. Ndidi does not make forward runs on most occasions. He wins the ball back and immediately passes it forward, sitting back to protect the defense. Kante and Onyeka are different. When Kante plays for Chelsea, he is mostly the one winning balls and initiating counters. He can play DM, but he is not a DM.

It is true though that Ndidi struggles playing alongside similar players to him (e.g. with Soumare at Leicester). This is because his role gets confused. Soumare doesn't contribute to the attack. He likes to win balls and sit behind to protect the defense. As this is Ndidi's role, Ndidi becomes confused because he has an intruder in his territory and doesn't know which positions to take up that will stop them both from getting in each other's way.

Menhhhh! Onyeka got that potential to be a world class player. He is got massive talent that can’t go unnoticed.

He is arguably the best midfielder we have now though still growing.

I don’t see the reason to keep him on the bench in this tournament. He should be starting games alongside Ndidi.

drDoom3:


Please help me ask them o. Onyeka that is even better than Ndidi in the EPL this season. Onyeka and Aribo have been our best two midfielders in Europe this season as Ndidi has been struggling with Soumare pairing. No coach will select Nwakali over these guys except by favoritism.

I have a feeling that Nwakali will get to the AFCON and when he gets gametime, he'll put on a howler that will show how far he currently is from the level of the best midfielders in Africa who play for the top clubs in the top leagues in Europe. It is not by being technical or commanding midfield, if you are not on the top level professionally it will show. Imagine Partey and Kessie who have been playing consistently against the best players in the world coming up against Nwakali in midfield. Who do you think will win the duel?

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... it is not baseless. It has a base. And the base is that both are Defensive minded players. Both are destroyers. Only difference is that Onyeka plays the role of a roaming Destroyer and high presser at Brentford while Ndidi sits in front of Leicester's defence.

But truly from Onyeka's days at FCM in Denmark, he is a CDM who mirrors many of what Ndidi does. How you don't understand this shows you don't know Onyeka's playing history. I have done extensive and intensive research into these lads. Even while I was on my sabbatical from this thread, I still took time to follow them and keep up to date.

drDoom3:


You started this.

I explained how Ndidi and Onyeka were different, you replied saying they were both defensive-minded players but then acknowledged they are very different, which was my point from the beginning. Hence, you were the one actually repeating my point.

drDoom3:


Did you see the fellow farmers he played with in that midfield?

All the more reason why you can't leave Ndidi alone in a midfield with guys like Nwakali with a poor work rate and afraid of getting into tackles.

Papi85:
they are just trying to make case for nwakali to start ahead of a whole ‘frank the tank’

TheGoodJoe:


You do not have a feeling. You are wishing and hoping Kelechi Nwakali fails. But, may God be with him and grant him success.

I do not know how people can wish someone playing for their country to fail. It is baffling.

TheSuperNerd:



I saw many of your posts asking why Nwakali was not yet in Camp and I wondered to myself why you didn't know that he had a game on Jan.2 while you were hurt crying out, calling him unserious and all sorts.

See Humility, you have to learn to verify things before you spill. Coz it's funny when you make statements only to be shown how out of place that statement actually is. Lol


And I can tell that you haven't watched Nwakali at all in recent times. So what gives you the confidence to talk about him this way? A player you haven't watched or assessed recently to reach these conclusions?

Here are his sofascore ratings of the last 5-6 games leading up to Jan.2. I guess they are the ratings of a sluggish lazy ass player.

see mugu you think say u tall pass me? Or post ur pics standing while I post mine

I will make it easy for them. Those stats are amazing.

Looolll... you are very kind My special namesake. Thanks so much for the welcome. MAN, am I glad to see you too Dave. Happy New Year. Best of the year to you too.

ChrisKels:
With this guy as our CM, I see us dominating midfields at the AFCON, if Ndidi could bring his A-game, and Aribo adapts to African soccer. That said, it wouldn't also hurt to have Onyeka as the CM because I feel with his combative/energetic play in the midfield, he could give us that Bennacer vibe. Bennacer was the major reason Algeria won that last AfCon. Dude was a gladiator, a Norse, a viking and Trojan in that midfield battling like a wounded lion.

TheSuperNerd:


You haven't answered my questions oooo....


How many assists did Modric have at the World Cup in Russia? And why exactly was he named best player at that WC?

How many assists had Xavi at Euros 2008 and tell me why he was named MVP of the tournament?

How many assists did Mikel have at Holland 2005 FIFA U20 WYC to be named by all who saw him & others as the true best player of the whole tournament?


Please I am waiting or you can tell me you don't know

drDoom3:


I am not wishing anything. I hope he succeeds. However, I say things the way I see them. When you do not play your best players due to favoritism, it will always bite you in the back. It is just like saying starting Ighalo as our 9 in AFCON is a recipe for disaster because he has not been playing at the top level. Does that mean I hate Ighalo or wish him bad and hopes he fails?

ChrisKels:
The number 1

PurpleHouse:
Make I nor lie, Algeria is the team to beat. The cup is theirs to lose. And I pray we avoid them at least, till finals.

TheGoodJoe:


Tell us the best player the coach should play in midfield that can help supply long balls to the forwards to prevent favoritism, back bite and feelings.

daveP:


The now thing is that we are underplaying Onyeka's form this season in other to make Nwakali look great. Which is both unacceptable and unfair. One is doing great in EPL and the other isn't even among best this season in Liga. That's one of the reasons this Nwakali thing is baffling me personally. Not that i don't think he is capable or good, but the downplay.

daveP:


Gracias. How una dey na?
