TheSuperNerd: Ok, so you believe just like I do that he's better suited as a SS than a striker. Why do you then loose your rag when I say he's not a striker? Why do you try to prove me wrong when you believe he's a SS? Serious question. You listed attributes he should improve on , but when I list those same attributes he should improve, you find faults and come for my head screaming haters and other choice adjectives. It is very clear to me now that you've been arguing against me, not because I am wrong or guilty of making false claims but as a matter of perception. You feel I am criticising a Nigerian player out of contempt, when I am Nigerian and a Super fan of the Super Eagles myself, having spent money to support the team over the years. It was on Kickoff nigeria that the moniker Game127 coined the alien kid tag on Kelechi. Are you Game127? By the way, stop the comparison between Kelechi and Mbappe. It pisses me off. It's like comparing a Lambogini with a Fiat Punto just because they have 4 legs. Ha 7 Likes 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd: Even if true that passing the ball may have created a better scoring chance for the team. The fact that the team has had very little time for the player (kelechi) meant that he saw that half chance as his big chance and not as a team chance and so tried to grabbed it accordingly. In the context of the game (already 1 nil up) and considering the current situation of the player (unfairly given little game time) even the Michael Owen I remember as a player would've done the same thing. Football is a team game, with strikers it is a team of dogs and when push comes to shove it's 'dog eat dog'. Well done Kelechi 6 Likes 2 Shares |

You said he is useless as a striker/top 9 which is a very fallacious statement to make. It is not about saying he is not a striker. Stop trying to dribble your way out of it. It is sooooo not working. Your Criticisms of Nacho are always just that- Criticisms and more criticisms even in the face of a True Nacho strong showing. You are not and never balanced in your views on Nacho. You only bash him. Have you ever for once come out to commend Nacho's talents or speak glowingly of his undoubted potential? No, never! You didn't even speak once of Nacho's ability to strike a freekick and when he does against "world class" Argentina, you try to make it look like you've known about that ability all along. Tell me, hace Mbappe ever struck a freekick goal? huh? That's by the way shaa... ![]() And Saying his best role is an SS/dynamic AMF does not mean he does not excel or do pretty good in a few other roles. That is my point and always have been. I have admitted from time immemorial that Nacho's best and ultimate role is the "SS" role but his finishing and eagle-eye instincts in front of goal also enables him to improvise as the Top 9 if or when played there. He also executes the false 9 pretty good. My proving you wrong has nothing to do with his best role. It was more about you saying he is useless as a top 9/lone striker. Do you know the meaning of the word "useless"? You didn't even say "he's a little useful or is 25% useful"... you totally blacked him out and called him useless even when his goals records in that role largely speak otherwise and disproves that statement. Haba! And nooooooooooo.... Hahahahahahahahaha... I don't even know about a "Game127". I have never been on Kickoff. I was rather on the defunct SL10.ng... was there for just a few months and just when I was getting into the groove, they closed down. ![]() And nope, not gonna happen..... there are some things to compare between them even if they both will forge or are already forging their different paths to being A-list forwards. They are both young strikers/forwards and you certainly don't expect them to play the same. Some people like Nacho's kinda style while some more like Mbappe's. For me, I just love the evolution of both and as time goes on, they both will be like a reference to me when it comes to the " dynamic" forward role. ![]() So if the comparison pisses you off, then skip it. Same way you calling Nacho "useless" and making him look so talentless pisses a whole lot of people off especially because all are so untrue. goldfish80: 5 Likes |

Very interesting read. These parts caught my attention most..... All of them maintain that Francis took the leap ahead of time , because although his raw talent and physical-technical conditions are considered extraordinary, the move from the subsidiary to the first team is not only related to the individual quality of the player, but also to its development. It is said that he learns in a week what others take a month to assimilate , but also that at that time his reading and his decision making were not superior to those of Álex Cobo, his partner under clubs in Segunda B. In the club they are aware of the potential they have in hand, and the goalkeeper, always smiling, focuses on continuing to do what he likes most: playing football. My memory verse from these highlighted parts is... "It is said that he learns in a week what others take a month to assimilate" ![]() I love and feel excited about the limitless confidence and belief shown by the Deportivo coaching staff and board in Uzoho. A bright future awaits him and I believe he could go on to become our next world class goalie (I expect Alampasu, Nwokolor and Okoye to also rise and provide keener competition for Uzoho in the GWG) after Enyeama. His special ability to absorb concepts, learning and pick up very fast is what gives him a special edge even over Alex Cobo plus others and places him in fantastic stead to really become a Deportivo no.1 in the near future. But ofcos, like every true and special raw talent, he still got a few rough edges to straighten out. His decision making and reading of the game keeps getting better as seen in that 45 mins show against Argentina but he needs to "keep up the step-up" in those two areas. I really hope Deportivo can survive relegation this season and stay in the hunt for another LA liga campaign next season. Deportivo have a history when it comes to African Goalies. I think that will partly play a fine role in shooting Uzoho to the top eventually as he continues to work hard, smile, stay humble, and focus on what he loves doing best: Playing football (taking same words or thoughts from the article ![]() Nice read Sir Tbaba.

goldfish80: oga is it that you just want to argue endlessly. you asked him to answer some questions and the whole thing stops, but you continued. Superned says he is an A striker but an Aplus SS, but you came out and said he is no striker thats an F and you are totally wrong to grade him that way. He has scored in that role for different teams multiple times, coaches that see him in training everyday have played him in that role, so how can you say he is no striker. SS is surporting striker that alone makes him a striker. Then comparing him and mbappe and saying he is a fiat punto smarks of disrespect and contempt. shikena 5 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: And the mugu of the week goes to? Come on up Michael Owen. It boggles my mind that a player who played on such a high a level would utter such trash. Number 1 and foremost there was no guarantee Barnes would have scored if Nacho passed him that ball, it was not going to be a tap in either way. Number 2 is that Iheanacho should be praised for knowing to use the run Barnes made to fool the keeper with a quick shot when he might have expected a pass. Last but not least, this was a freakin world class goal made look easy and instead of our Owen congratulating that and moving on, the clown decides to let his true colours show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYdWa74doiE 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Brace From Little Known Nigerian Forward Kelechi Helps Amuneke To Three Wins In Three As Coach In Sudan ![]() Former coach of the Nigeria U17 and 20 team Emmanuel Amuneke increased his winning run as coach of Sudanese side Khartoum Al-Watani after leading them to a 5-1 thrashing of Shabab Nasri. Prior to the Saturday friendly game which was their third in a row as preparations ahead of the resumption of the league in Sudan, Amuneke has lead his side to wins over Shabia FC (4-0) and Karcoj Sporting ( 2-0). A brace from Nigerian forward Kelechi Nweze late into the game helped the Amuneke tutored lads to put the game beyond the reach of Shabab Nasri, before they scored a late consolation. The coach who lead Nigeria to the 2015 U17 World Youth Championship title in Chile is having his first stint as a club coach outside Nigeria, and it has been a case of so far so good. His last job in Nigeria was as coach of the U20 team, and it ended with the team failing to qualify for the African Youth Championship, ironically losing to Sudan, same country where he is now coaching. Widely regarded as one of the most technical coach in Nigeria the last three years, the coach assisted Samson Siasia in interim capacity during the Super Eagles ill fated attempt to qualify for the 2017 African Cup of Nations. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2018/01/28/brace-from-little-known-nigerian-forward-kelechi-helps-amuneke-to-three-wins-in-three-as-coach-in-sudan/ Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 137 days to go 2 Likes |

Roma Coach Hints At Imminent Loan Move To Perugia For Nigerian Full Back Nura Abdullahi ![]() The coach of Italian Serie A side Roma Eusebio Di Francesco has given the green light for Nigerian right back Nura Abdullahi to leave the club on loan. As exclusively reported by Owngoalnigeria.com , the 20 year old is courting interest from Serie B side Spezia and Perugia, but Roma want him to join Perugia. The move which will be on loan will help the full back who has been severely troubled by injury launch his career as he is sure to get games, that will hasten his form and fitness. A permanent name in the matchday squad of Roma in their last three league fixtures, Coach Di Francesco revealed during the pre match conference ahead of their game against Sampdoria that Nura could head out on loan. “Nura? He is young and he hasn’t played a competitive game for a long time. He will probably go out on loan. However he remains a very interesting prospect for the club”, Di Francesco said. Already Nura’s childhood friend and teammate at Roma, Sadiq Umar has left Italy for Dutch side NAC Breda in what will be his second loan spell this season after an uneventful first half of the season loan to Torino. Highly rated Nura signed an extension to his deal with the Rome giants in the summer, a sign of how well he is highly regarded at the club despite the fact that he is yet to make an appearance for the first team. **Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2018/01/28/roma-coach-hints-at-imminent-loan-move-to-perugia-for-nigerian-full-back-nura-abdullahi/ Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 137 days to go |

@Italicised.... Ever heard of Joe Cole? ![]() @bolded.... you are right. Owen's "misses four out of five times" talk is absolute bolllocks when it comes to Nacho. Nacho have had two same opportunities of that kind this season and converted them... 2 out of 2. Against Southampton in the EPL for Man City(first season), he did something similar but that one went higher into the net like a dipping shot from just outside the area. He beat Fraser Forster hands down. Even Nacho's Coach at U-17 level, Manu Garba once made a matter-of-fact statement on Nacho's conversion/precision... he spoke specifically on Nacho's finishing. He said, "“I’m not surprised at all by what Iheanacho has shown because if given the chance, he can play for any team in the world like Real Madrid, “He already has the technique to flourish at the highest level and the only thing the more established players at City could have over him is experience.” “At his age, his finishing around the box puts him in a class of his own. He scores five goals in a training. Once you give him the space and allow him to control the ball around the goal area, he could convert three of the five chances he gets. He is that good.” https://www.completesportsnigeria.com/manu-garba-iheanacho-good-enough-for-real/ So Owen should be a bit more open-minded and stop yapping bollocks. Besides, BascoVanVeli is right, Nacho used Barnes' run as a perfect decoy. Only intelligent footballers see such angles and opportunities. ![]() rabzy: 2 Likes |

TheSuperNerd: Don't you love making wild accusations. From day 1 I have always said Kelechi was talented but badly developed at Man city. Where do you think my back and forth with TheGoodJoe emanated from? He wasn't having any of it because I was indicting his club. It will take a crazy fellow who watched Kelechi back in 2014 to say he's not talented. I will still say it till thy kingdom come, Man city was not the right club for Kelechi. Every man and his dog know this apart from Kelechi's handlers who collected "parental fee" from Man city. If the club had developed him in natural position, we could have an Apoty contender already. This has been my honest opinion from day 1 but someone just had to color everything to protect Man city. Yes, I still maintain he's useless as a lone forward. I won't retract that statement because that's my honest opinion. Chelsea has been struggling all season because they sold their striker and replaced him with a SS masquerading as a striker. By the way, how much is a Fiat Punto? How much is a Lambogini? What is Kelechi's market value in comparison with Mbappe? There you have it. ![]() 6 Likes |

Wild accusations you say? Never for once have you commended Kelechi's Fine displays in the GWG. Never for once have you said he could actually hit a fine freekick. Never for once have you come out to say he is a real deal... you just use the word "talented" ![]() And your thoughts on Man City being the wrong club or the right club are mere opinions and based on personal preferences. That is all it is. The lad made his choices and today we still have a true star boy on our hands whether you acknowledge it or not. And what do you mean by if the club developed him in his "natural" role we could have an APOTY contender... now isn't that a preposterous presumption? How do you even know? So the likes of Naby Keita, Aubameyang, Mane, Salah could have gone to sleep abi? Things don't work that way... Even Okocha with all the skillsets and glories of being possibly Africa's most gifted player never won the APOTY. So you cannot just tell me Nacho would have "IF" everyone just focused on the SS role. You should ask yourself... how many teams in the world today play with a system that accommodates a natural SS? This is where Nacho must bring in his other qualities to evolve and be noticed in world football. He is also a dynamic AMF, and can also execute the CF role, False 9 role and RWF role. He had a choice and he made it. How many teams would have played him as an SS? How many? You are just here talking and doing all you can to defend a very lame and battered point. Nacho showed you again yesterday what he can do as a lone striker and you are here blabbing dust about standing by your assertion of him being called useless. You see how stubborn and blind you are even in the face of truth? you see that? You see how stiff and unbendable you are to truth... looll My simple stand is this... your call on Nacho being useless as a lone CF or top 9 is absolute bollocks no matter how honest that stand is. Why? because in the face of stats of Nacho in that role, he has still managed to do just fine. He has done good in fact yet you hold so tightly to a bullet that fired and missed the target. Smh. Tell me a player with Nacho's stats in the GWG today... tell me a player with Nacho's stats in the FA cup since January 2016. Tell me. Talking about the market.... Hahahahahahahahaha... you bring up Mbappe's current worth and Nacho's current worth. Like seriously? You bring up a guy who has been struggling with injury and had it tough getting into the scheme of things under three different managers at his new club? No this is not making excuses... it is just saying the truth. Even Ousmane Dembele has not had the sort of impact his price tag came with all becos of injuries here and there. His value is falling too gradually and will only get back up when he returns and start making his impact. Look... the market is what it is. Market value is never a true measure of a player's true potentials. Football is big business and also includes endorsements and premiums that go outside of a player's playing ability. It is more about a player's marketability and business Value. David Beckham was never up to half or even a quarter of Okocha's massive football talents yet he was far worth more than Okocha and KANU combined. Go figure Mister.

Iheanacho Breaks Nigerian Scoring Record In FA Cup Previously Held By Yakubu (Top Ten Revealed) ![]() Kelechi Iheanacho helped himself to a double in Leicester City's 5-1 rout of Peterborough in the FA Cup on Saturday. In doing so, the Foxes number eight broke a record previously held by Yakubu Aiyegbeni, as he took his tally in the prestigious competition to nine goals in nine appearances. Ex-Super Eagle Yakubu notched 8 goals in 20 appearances in the FA Cup wearing the jerseys of Reading, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth.

TheSuperNerd: Stupid Idiot !!! What did he have to say about albrighton and gray? The ones who really deserved the stick, they wont stick em. Its the ones they want to keep down that they keep hammering on. This is the issue I have with EPL. The overhype by ex english internationals moonlighting nowadays as soccer pundits. When its an English man, its a different yardstick. All the praises, all the accolades go to them. He should shut up!!! 4 Likes |
