if I play as a striker in a side that created lots of chances, I would score goals too.
What really separates the good from the really good is that ability to take a game by the scruff of the neck and create something out of nothing when the need arises, not being overly dependent on your creative colleagues to create tap in opportunities for you
so, the side Rashford plays for does not create lots of chances? How many has he convertes since it is so easy to score according to you?

Uncle, today is Saturday, go and watch your EPL games and leave our Kelechi for us

It was done for players born after 1st January 1996. Iwobi is May 3... even Marco Asensio is January 21. So all are eligible. smiley

You will score goals but different strikers have different conversion rates. Some players can get lots of clean chances and waste them. While some convert chances easily repeatedly.

The creating something out of nothing depends on the team's playing style. In a team with an expansive offensive strategy, taking the chances is more important than individual battles.

That is why I preach concerning looking at the team's playing style.

This Olosunde of a guy has been in the news for Man Utd's U-23s often... a prospect to look at perhaps sometime later? Time will tell....


Manchester United Confirm Nigerian Right Back Has Suffered Serious Injury




Nigerian right-back Matthew Olosunde sustained an injury as Manchester United were beaten 2-1 by Derby County in a Premier League 2 encounter at Leigh Sports Village Stadium on Friday night.

The defender went down in a lot of pain before he was substituted just before the end of the first half.

In their official match report , Manchester United confirmed that Olosunde was taken off on a stretcher at the end of the first half and the injury looked a serious one.

Prior to the defender's substitution, he put up an impressive display and made a crucial block to deny Offrande Zanzala from scoring.

Olosunde's injury is a serious blow to his ambition of making his debut for Manchester United's first team, having traveled for the Premier League games against Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur last season.

Nigerian-born midfielder Tosin Kehinde put in a full shift against Derby County, who paraded Scotland international Ikechi Anya.

Loogan:
Good morning house,
Contrary to the belief that iheanacho would not come good in liecester city playing system, I think it will help make him a better player.
Wev seen iheanacho in a tiki take system and he has excelled at a very young age, what guardiola percieved he lacked like WORK RATE, TEAM WORK this two are the literally what liecester city are all about.
In this generation been able to adapt to different playing system is a thing, it would only help iheanacho and his career going forward if he Has insane workrate, good team work, discipline, and vast tactical knowledge. That is what liecester can offer and I think it will benefit his game and give him more personality as a player and most importantly make him a more rounded player.
He has the talent and determination so it's really no problem for me because I know he will succeed.

Nice read until you equated Leicester to tactical knowledge. It is more strategic than tactical.

I agree the work ethic especially tracking back to defend and running up the field can improve Iheanacho. I hope and think a year with Guardiola gave him the right guidance for a possessive system. Let us see how it goes.

I'm sure you have watched the game long enough to know there will be times when the ability to come up with that moment of magic can make all the difference.
A much younger KC looked like a player that would develop along this line.

Nothing happened. People just mistake dropping on the bench means either the player is not good anymore. It was not long when Nacho scored two brilliant goals that had to do with his individual ability. The one he dribbled the keeper and the other from wide when he received a pass from the corner side.

Keep in mind, playing as an attack midfielder gives the player more room to handle the ball and make right choices. Upfront, the pressure calls for quick decisions and incisive play.

Nacho also looked brilliant playing behind the striker for the Super Eagles too. The talent is there. With the right run of games and offensive strategy will see Nacho soaring.

As I said, I welcome the competition. Origi can can play wide. If Osimhen hits the right form, he can still make a play. The playing time is not where the development is but behind the scenes. I am more concerned with Osimhen's playing time and he can develop faster studying Origi who I also consider quality.

Well he could do but Origi is not that Older than him but has progressed way further. In all honesty Osimhen bus still essentially a youth player living on past glories.

He now has to prove his mettle or go on loan.

Do you really think they will change the team strategy to fit in Osimhen and put Origi wide for Osimhen to go down the middle.

Osimhen is now struggling get into the squad talk less about even the bench. how he got invited to the SE is beyond baffling to me.

What is important is, is the quality there? That is why Wenger could go for Henry who was a flop at Juventus and converted him into one of the best forwards in the history of football. Football careers of lots of players have crests and troughs.

You deviate from the main substance of my question.

How do those statistics equate to KC being a top 4 striker in the EPL, come on that's ludicrous.

Even World class L'Equipe just recently (many hours ago) listed Nacho as no.29 in the Roll call of the finest and best 50 U-21s on the planet despite all these talks of "History" and "Good as your last game" by you. wink

The truth is that Nacho got both the Stats and the Quality. Class is permanent Sir. Nacho is class and Quality yet still growing in the game. Period.


Only Six Players of African nations made the L'Equipe roll call... players I rate among the very best youngsters in the world of football and also among the leading Elite young players in African football....

- Franck Kessie (CIV and AC Milan) @no.18

- Amadou Diawara (Guinea and Napoli) @no.24

- Alex Iwobi (Nigeria and Arsenal) @no.25

- Kelechi Iheanacho (Nigeria and Leicester City) @no.29

- Wilfred Ndidi (Nigeria and Leicester City) @no.36

- Andre Onana (Cameroon and Ajax Amsterdam) @no.49


Kelechi is the best young Striker/forward/Attacker on the African Continent right now... according to L'Equipe and also according to UK Telegraph who released theirs few months or several weeks back. #Fact
The Quality is there and very huge Sir Komekn... and you know it. wink






There is huge disparity from your proposition that KC is among the top 4 strikers in the EPL.

You are changing the goal posts.

Nobody is disputing his quality and potential. However you claimed he is one of the top four strikers in the EPL, that is totally misleading.

No one said top striker in the EPL. The term was deadly, clinical striker in the EPL. That has to do with his brilliant ability to convert chances. Even Guardiola pointed it out.

Squad, bench is not the criteria. The criteria is improving and he will. Stop the past glory talk. We are talking of a young player here. It is not past glory. The term is ability. Osimhen has shown his ability.

If you think ability, you will reason more in formative years and not bench or squad.
