first of all
Wat is the work of a defensive midfielder??
making tackles shielding defence and breaking up play
Ndidi is a dm and he does those perfectly
he also leads in number of tackles in Europe top five leagues
simple : ndidi is world class
Wat argument do we need for this ??

BascoVanVeli: I actually do not have proof that would stand up to inspection in a Nigerian court. And I certainly would not make it public as for now the matter is over taken by events. It's an Injustice to highlight only the faults and not the attributes. Keshi was an excellent coach RIP, did he have faults yes he did.

eterisan:because city coach has his preferences and might not like an ndidi type player...you think a mourinho will go for a busquets type player when maybe a makelele type is available? as for city being a mark of excellence now it is in the premiership..let them win ucl then they can brag 2 Likes |

eterisan: Ndidi is an excellent player world class not yet. In my experience the tag world class is usually converges when the team you are in complements your outstanding attributes and starts winning trophies and leagues. If Messi was playing for Sevilla and didn't win anything would he have any accolades, I very much doubt it. So let's get matters in perspective. Possibly when Ndidi moves to Mancity, Barca, Real or Bayern then he will get the world wide claim as the best in the world that some have already crowned him with. 1 Like |

komekn:bros you do finish work.... N wety I de talk since... Ndidi is excellent yes.... World class no.. World class players play for world class teams and win trophies upon trophies and win accolades... Best player this best team that.... Ndidi can and will only get there if nd when he improves the attacking side of his game..... Padding tackling stats alone won't do it... Cos for top teams d best form of defence is attack.... Controlling the midfield.... Starving your opponent of possession... An average tackler with good passing stats can play that role.... Kroos n gundogan anyone... 1 Like |

eterisan:Reread my post again, the key word there is PRIMARY. What are the primary qualities of a defensive midfielder? The primary criterion for a defensive midfielder in Chelsea or A.C Millan, may be different from that of Manchester city or Arsenal, but even at that the foremost characteristics of a defensive midfielder are ... the ability to Shield the defence, tackle and break up play. |

LZAA:I thought Ndidi replaced Kante as DM at Leicester. And before the arrival of Kante who was Chelsea DM Hope you remember is either Kante start with Matic or Fabregas,are you now saying Fabregas is DM. Last season at Chelsea Conte rotate Fabregas and Matics as CM and Kante as DM. Oh Kante established before coming to Chelsea,fine now tell me who is more established between Kante and Matics |

Daejoyoung:ndidi is excellent at these primary qualities, but having that alone limits him in the grand scheme of things.. That is my point.... He has to also excel at the secondary qualities of a midfielder, which are passing, dribbles, shooting, free kicks, assists.... Then and then alone will he be world class.... Try see wety I de talk na oga. . I nor hate the guy, neither am I biased.. Na the love I get for am mek me want mek he improve... Call it tough love 2 Likes |

eterisan: Rakitic is a CMF while Ndidi is a DMF. They don't play the same role. I don't think Ndidi is up against Rakitic if he goes to Barcelona. He's up against Busquet and we all know who will play and who will sit on the bench if that be the case. No to much tory. |

It's annoying. That Argentina match, the viewing centre I watched was filled up with patriotic pessimists. They came to look for loop holes and then watch dem Dybala and co roast us to the ashes. They were so happy that after the first goal, they were already shouting. Sad laughter followed after the second goal. We equalized and the usual talks of that Argentina go still score was everywhere. Only me and an old man(Obviously a golden generation fan) were optimistic. Then I discovered the reason why they are that pessimistic in nature, which is no excuse atall still..... Nacho's freekick entered and allllll the pessimists jumped up to scream goaaaallllll. Why did they scream goal when they had no hope for the team? Simple...... It's been long we scored such goal from set piece against a very big team. So you see, they just wanted exceptional play. Some of them injured during the celebration cos they heeded not the ceiling fans that was above their heads. But they cared not. Three more goals and we all left the place on a high..... They sounded like the Jews in the era of Christ..... Hosanna today, Crucify him tomorrow!!!!! They were now the ones that were hyping Nacho, Iwobi, and Brian Idowu Asif they've seen Idowu play like 20games for any team sef. SMH. The old man told me that these are plastic fans, thanks to club football standards as he zoomed off in his SUV. He looked wealthy but he forsook his big house to join others in a viewing Centre!!!! 5 Likes |
