Napoleon55: You comment are too generalistic to have any substance. I talked specifically about Omeruo. My bench mark measurement for competence is your performances within your parent club and or loan club. Omeruo has been CB for some time now who showed considerabe promise. That is why Chelsea bought him. However to date, he has never played for Chelsea that's not progress. Omeruo went on loan to Middlesbrough he was at best average, that is an underperformance. He has played in the Eredivisie and Turkish league but on all occasions he has not stood out as a top player in what are obscure leagues. That is not a sign of overriding quality. Consider the small boys Nathan Ake after a few loan moves he transferred to Bournemouth for £20 million plus. That is progression. Kurt Zouma was at Chelsea played a good season before being injured. EPL Clubs were literally fighting to get him on loan. So explain how my objective assessment of his career is bias against him and or Nigeria. Unless you expect me to enthron mediocrity because he is Nigerian that would then be clear and obvious bias. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Humility017:At that stage of the qualifiers if Aina had flopped by making an error would you forgive him?

Mujtahida: I still disagree with the SS role. Look at Dortmund for instance. Aubameyang gets to have in some games four to five clean chances. However, he gets to miss loads and still records an impressive goal scoring rate. Put Iheanacho in such a role and see him bury goals repeatedly. Can you say someone wants to cage Aubameyang? The pace and intensity of the other players will blow any team doing that. Iheanacho is not in a team that creates chances. Look at Monaco last season. How can you hold who ever leads the attack? The pressure from all angles restricts that. The problem is not the role but the lack of offensive set-up. Which Iheanacho is suffering from both in the National team and Leicester City. Just like the SA game, with a brilliant passer in the midfield, Nacho would have shone. 3 Likes |

bataderemi: Keep in mind Onyekuru is not playing the nine role at Anderlecht. Also, not because he is scoring in Belgium ticks him ahead of others. Remember that Everton also did not fight to keep him. Either way, I feel we have a special talent in Onyekuru and I expect him to have a blast when he gets a run in the EPL. 1 Like |

Onyekuru always cuts in to score. Sometimes he drifts there and scores. He's scored a couple headers from the 9 position as well. Don't forget he said #9 is his preferred role. Hence, I consider him a #9 as well. These players are more versatile than we think. Most times you guys just check the formation and run with it. Many of today's forwards can adapt. TheGoodJoe: |

That's what I'm talking about. If your team does Not play to your strengths then you try and adapt to their style. Iheanacho is a good player but he needs to vary his game so as to score and play for Liecester. From the way this Leicester plays, it'll be hard to see goals coming for him a lot. They don't pass cleanly hence he has to work on becoming tough and use this as a chance to improve on his hold up play. I had feared that this Leicester deal would either go smooth or awry for him. It's October and yet he's not playing as frequently as expected cos he's been back from injury for a while, I'm scared for him cos this is a true talent that has not really exploded as anticipated. After the WC if he's gotten his citizenship he should take his skills to Italy, Spain or Germany where passing is a key focus in every player. The teams in EPL that he fits their style is so competitive to get a shirt and Iheanacho of late has not been doing too well when faced with determined competition. He needs to leave England fast.

Just seeing this.. I actually meant to say AM not CMF. we talking #10 now Good. So Yannis Anastasiou deployed Ajagun at RM, although he never played Ajagun there for an entire season at Roda. Why did the coach do that? It's not only got to do with versatility, but also the strengths of a different set of teammates. Also buttresses my point. Did Ajagun need 4 to 5 games to adjust back to a RM? What's the big different between RW and RM? A midfielder who is offensive minded can play as an AM (Attacking midfielder) A versatile player is versatile.. How long did Victor Moses need to adjust to a wing back? ![]() But you would have said VicMo is not a wing back prior to then, just because of what you saw on transfermarkt. My friend, listen to people who study players strengths.. don't just go by what one coach did. forgiveness: |

PERFORMANCE: TALKING TACTICS AND POSITIONAL PLAY Angel Di Maria: The art of wing play PSG's Argentine wizard Angel Di Maria shares the secrets of bossing the flank Sid Lowe Always be inventive “When teams are defending deep – ‘parking the bus’ – it’s important to stay relaxed and focus on keeping the ball moving and searching for the gaps. As a winger you have to keep doing what you’re there to do: run at someone, create a chance or draw a foul and deliver a cross into the area for the strikers. For wingers it’s important to try to be inventive: to do something different to beat the defenders and create a chance for your team.” ![]() Creativity is why you're in the team Drop in when you can “At Madrid the three forwards always have freedom of movement. We can swap places and look for spaces whenever we want. If you’re out wide, you watch what the others are doing: if one player goes outside, try to drop inside to fill the space. You’re always looking for room. Me, Ronaldo, Benzema, Adebayor – whoever plays, Mourinho asks us to do the same thing: to be mobile and when near the area, to take people on and take our chances.” ![]() Seek space when your team-mates move Remember: track back “Mourinho wants us to be aggressive, with and without the ball, so I’ve had to adapt defensively to what he wants from us. I knew if I was going to be in his team that I’d have to run and put my foot in. It’s because of this that I’m playing and getting better. My position is different now [to when I was at Benfica] so my mentality is a bit different. I know the coach wants us to run and pressure but still have ‘air’ left to attack, so I have worked with that in mind.” ![]() Get your foot in and help the defence Creating chances is key “Some wingers may be happy with dribbling past a few players but it’s important to remember you’re in the team to make chances for your team-mates. If you can make space for the forwards or play a pass for them to put them one-on-one with the goalkeeper, that’s when you’ve really done your job. Fast wingers can beat defenders. The best wingers make goalscoring chances.” ![]() It's not all about beating your man Accept you’ll get kicked “At one point this season, I got kicked so often that I got frustrated. But after a while you realise that it’s something you have to endure when you’re dribbling past players. Some kicks I can accept; when it’s one of those that the defender has no choice because otherwise you’re through on goal, that I can understand. But when it’s a foul that’s unnecessary and can really hurt you, that’s still difficult to take.” ![]() Getting kicked: It's in the winger's job description Keep evolving “Every year, you grow in all ways – in a football sense, in a mental sense. And the older you get, the better you understand football; the better you know it. You come to learn things that you did not know before and I’m still trying to evolve now. For example, I’m trying to improve my positional play: when to pressure and when to back off, when to open up the pitch, when to close it. As an attacker, you can’t just be happy to beat players. You want to make an all-round contribution to the team.” Source: https://www.fourfourtwo.com/performance/training/angel-di-maria-art-wing-play#7s2te0zYlc0fjUIJ.99 2 Likes |
