TheGoodJoe:


If you don't want to use stats perspective, then offer a report, video, analysis to show why you think the person is better. Not I saw. Which anyone can say.

He should show proof how he thinks the names above are better at controlling the midfield with short and long passes than Kelechi Nwakali.

typicalgamer:



You’re very funny my guy 😂

You expect a defender to bang 15 goals in a tourney ?
There are other stats to help plead his case

Well I’m glad you’re not the one running apoty

Because you’ll carry it to every high scoring player

KINGinVAHALA:

What you wrote here doesn’t concerns me, I just wants to bring to your notice that I hope you have seen it with your eyes that whenever Guardiola starts with the right players, Man City have 90% of delivering?
Against Tottenham he benched De Bruyne, Gundogan, Diaz and Laporte and we all saw how Man City struggled, same way they struggled against Chelsea in the UCL final when he played Silver as 4 and benched Fenaldinho.
If Man City fails to win the EPL this season, Guardiola should be held responsible

mostob:
This is not Pep's team. It is either he wan sell the match or Arteta is now a big boy.

TheGoodJoe:


Diaz is getting a nod because of a three at the back system.

Mujtahida:

Baba you too mature to dey label criticism as hate. Do you want everyone to live in kumbaya land praising every player? What's with the talk about hating on a player? This is just a cheap way of controlling the exchange of opinions here.

RichardKajola:


This looks more like a back four, there is no coherence.

It will take luck for them to win the match. They can play better in the second half though

Blueelf:


To be honest oga Mujtahida, na why i stop to argue the KC matter with him especially

Once you point out little weakness in either KC or Nwakali, the guy go start to dey ejacu;late bile

But i stand on my opinion on KC until KC proves me wrong

AndSunGorilla:
Onyedika starts as expected for Brugge in the UCL. Opportunity to see one of our emerging midfield generals but I sure say many of you here no go watch. Na other games una go watch.

Mujtahida:

His critics are of the view that he is on the bench because he is inconsistent. His fans on the other hand argue that he will be consistent if he is given a run of games.

RichardKajola:



Asin!!!

I'm so disappointed, almost like he abandoned his playing style. See long balls everywhere
Why is Silva playing as a left back

TheGoodJoe:


What proof do you want again. With respect to goal contributions per minute ratio, Iheanacho is one of the best in the history of the EPL. He is in top 10.

Leave matter for Lothar Matthaus.

Blueelf:


Haba

It is not Nwakali in the segunda na. Why do you expect them to waste time on a UCL match when they can go and watch an overrated midfielder in the Segunda vs Ponferradina. ANd then hail him when he completes 5 passes

lollll

TheGoodJoe:


Three at the back with Walker breaking off the defensive block when in possession.

TheGoodJoe:


No one overrated Kelechi Nwakali. This statement is a lie and many wonder why I used the term hate. This is not criticism but an unnecessary mock.

mostob:
It is 4 at the back. Benardo is playing an Inverted role.

I'm not his fan,but I'm of the view that his performance is largely a reflection of the team he plays for...

Our women's team has regressed. Back in the day, we would be beating the likes of Mexico with ease.

You guys forget that Nwakali is playing in a country that prioritizes midfielders and midfield play so the indigenes will be 1st to be considered before anyone else... even Ramon Azeez had his own issues...

I think the best country for Nigerian midfielders is Belgium and Denmark and it also depends on the coach.... Mikel had issues with Conte and had to leave... Since Mikel, Bonke, Frank Onyeka, Ndidi and Iwobi have been the only Nigerian midfielders playing in top 5 leagues and even Iwobi position has been changed by several managers and Iwobi also has his struggles with different coaches since leaving Arsenal..

Nwakali has a skill-set of through passes, corner kicks, long passes that can bring out the best in the Super Eagles strikers and that's why he is needed in the team...

Against Tunisia he created a one on one opportunity for Sadiq by making a through pass to Sadiq which Sadiq missed. Now imagine if it was Osimhen , Lookman, Moffi or Ihenacho receiving that through pass and how we could have equalized...

football is a game of creating chances/opportunities and taking those chances. Nwakali can create chances that can put S.E 1 or 2 goals ahead and the entire team starts defending that lead at least that's what Morocco did anytime they scored the first goal that made them reach the Semi-Finals of the World Cup..

Against Ghana, there was no player to create chances for the Strikers, Moses Simon was trying to dribble everyone, Chukwueze wing was un-used...

Against Portugal, the same issue, no player to create chances for the strikers...

two players S.E needs and are not liked on this thread are Nwakali and Chidera Ejuke...

Marjoribanks:
You expect them to travel several miles, train once and beat Mexico at home cos Mexico are not humans?
Mexico that has one of the best league in the world.

You guys are very funny!
