He ought to be playing behind Vardy in a two man attack. But they kept playing Okazaki.


O pari

Icon4s:


He will be deputising for Vardy in the EPL but will get more game time from cup games.

Ok well I was thinking I missed some news. I saw where it emanated but I wanted to be sure.
I'll keep my focus in the coming games

A fullback is supposed to be a passing outlet in defense and in attack. In every top team, bar the midfielders, the fullbacks have the next highest amount of touches and quite sadly Shehu doesn't always provide that. You are right, he applies caution but that used to work in 1990 not anymore, if you sit back too much it will invite pressure from the opposing winger, if you push up the winger will have to move backwards to cover you thus relieving even more pressure from the defense

Most times, players play to their strength. You see this with Delph playing the full back role with City. He limits himself to do what he is good at, controlling the game.

We can opt for someone who will push forward but it increases the gap behind. Shehu Abdullahi's style of play has reduced the pressure on our defence and with the creativity and mobility of our forwards, we have enough balance to shield the right side of the team and force attacks from there.

Lol. Willing to accept i don't know anything about his career, So please help me understand the answer to the question I asked so I may be enlightened (Including what club he was playing for when he was "ignored" in 1999)





Two matches in 1998 while at Barcelona yet ignored

Worst of all one of those friendlies was played in his backyard at Catalonia.

I think it has become traditional for 35 players to be called first and then culled down to 23. If I'm not mistaken its FIFA mandated.

Work rate. Okazaki has high work rate and keep in mind Puel is searching for the right balance and also consider the threats of the opponents.

Nacho should keep working hard and make the most of the chances he will get.

60' That was great play by Ndidi, who showed great strength and determination to win back possession for Leicester before sending an excellent pass over to Mahrez. He's performed brilliantly in the middle of the pitch this afternoon.

There's no earthly reason why Kelechi Iheanacho should not be getting playing time on this mediocre Leicester team.

I think he should seek a January transfer right away. Get out of the EPL pronto. Go show his skills in La Liga or Ligue 1

Let the young man stay and learn. Puel looks a coach who knows what his doing and with a right balance for the rotation of his squad.

So all this complaining by forgiveness as regards Nwakali. It was actually Lawal he had he mind when he accused me of lying after I mentioned 3 names that came to my mind. Oga forgiveness, I've not been keeping tabs on Lawal like you have. Not like he's been making headlines anyway. I wish I could read your mind to determine your Super Eagles best XI. Actually, I think I know what it would look like.

I agree but "high work rate" isn't everything. You still need quality. If they have to play 4-4-2, I think Kelechi ought to start along side Vardy. Or else, Vardy should go to the bench and Kelechi should play at the top. Either way, Kelechi is too good to be on Leicester's bench.

Sad Iborra is out. Seems a man who brings the right balance to the midfield of Leicester. I hope Ndidi steps up and brings more to the team in the absence of Iborra. Also hope Iborra is not out for too long.

Here's the two reasons why I would like him to leave though:

1. I don't think that the EPL suits his game that well. I think his skills would show better in La Liga or Ligue 1.

2. The Leicester team is full of cliques. Remember that the team conspired to get rid of the Tinker Man merely because he kept playing Musa and some other new players ahead of their favorites like Demary Gray, Albrigton etc. So unless Nacho joins the clique, he might not get much playing time despite how hard he trains. That's one reason why I kept suggesting that he joins Everton instead of Leicester.

Nacho needs to work hard to be as good as some of the best in the game. If he gets to that level, it will be difficult for the coach to leave him out if he wants results. The Premier League is no more easy to over look quality.

Did you see the type of quality pass that Nacho just gave to Vardy. It would've been goal #3 for Leicester. Trust me, that's what a team like Leicester is lacking - players with quality to give them that moment of magic. They have it in Mahrez but Nacho can give them another option, if the cabal will let him get playing time.

Give Puel time. He wants to prove himself and will find the right balance. Albrighton in for Gray. Albrighton will give his all in these last minutes.

O pari

is this how he will be leaving every team that doesn't play him?

Do you think he would have a starting shirt in Valencia easily?

See ehn, I like Kelechi well well, but thia idea of him jumping ship every time things get tough is a terrible one. You cannot learn if you keep jumping ship like that.

The best thing you guys can ask is that Leicester loan him out in January, not an outright sale. A loan move is the best he can and should get and even that seems like a cowardly move to be honest.

We need to stop pushing him to leave every club, it's an unhealthy behavior. Leave am, make e dey there. He chose Leicester, let him deal with his choices like an adult
