I am a city fan... Lolz... And city is seriously in search for a dm..... They are the mark of excellence right now.... So if ndidi is so good why is he not a target for them.... Oga tbaba1234 could not mention one top team interested in ndidi nd the dm ndidi will bench...... I so much love what ndidi has achieved, I aspire for him to reach the top level... But saying he is there yet when clearly he is not is..... Smh..... I tire..... Naso una been do for nacho case o..... When chief icon4s say the boy never ready..... Some even claim... TheGoodJoe...... Say nacho better pass Gabriel Jesus nd mbappe..... Now how d thing turn out..... Mek we De calm down jo

TheSuperNerd:







Actually I have watched them well enough and infact the poweplaying roadrunner is in action right now against Angers... Using his unreal speed and power as usual to good effect... And in a 1.5 league I must remind everyone.


But the tthing is you actually have obviously not taken your time to watch and Obserce Nacho as keenly as you do Mbappe and Gabby J. Especially Mbappe.

It is really funny knowing that you find funny what I actually find factual....... Looooollllll.... You folks of the European club flavor just cannot bring yourself to admit that we have certain young players on par with or even better than most of overhyped foreign youngsters.

Believe me, I am just enjoying the evolution of Nacho showing time and times again what I know to be true based on observation. And showing you all there is much more to him than just being a fine forward hybrid. Mbappe keeps scoring the old damn way... Same as Gabby J...

But Nacho has scored in many different ways: with his head, his right foot, his left foot, from outside the box and from inside the box... And hey! He also curled in a lovely freekick... And his Vision and decision making trumps Mbappe all round...

So yeah.. It is funny having this talk with you because you obviously don't watch Nacho to observe, you just watch him casually. But you take your time with Mbappe and hype his every touch... Loooollll

Icon79:
Sorry ... my bad, you're right. Yes, KC scored one and created one and Benga scored one goal. But overall, KC had a better game on the day. And, if anything, that proves that if KC is good enough to start for Sevilla if Banega is arguably one of their best player.


O pari

safarigirl:
you said "Nacho with his port first touch"....I am attacking your statement that he has a poor first touch. Whether it is better than Mbappe's or not, is not my concern. I don't even watch Mbappe, so, I cannot speak on the comparison


I am only correcting your erroneous notion that Nacho's first touch is poor. It is not, is it better than Mbappe's? I don't know and I don't care

tbaba1234:
Just a few weeks back, Ndidi played a midfield of Fabregas, Kante and Bakayoko. He was dominant and outshone all the big names. He was the man of the match with all the midfield stars on show.

He just needs to move to a bigger club to gain more recognition.

Mickael2:


this matter never tire you?

Mickael2:



but Banega is a CMF na. You saw Ben Yedder yesterday right? He got less than 30mins and scored 2 goals, back then we used to say that 30mins cameo isn't enough for Kelechi to score for Mancity, but someone actually did that for Sevilla against Manchester United. It is of course very very possible that Kelechi if given the chance can bench that Muriel guy no doubt but saying that he will be a certain starter for Sevilla isn't true

edi287:

Make i stop

Mickael2:



you need to be watching the current PSG match right now. Mbappe is on his way to a hattrick and the boy is just good

TheGoodJoe:


It seems I have to repeat the same point over and over again.

I was captivated by Nacho's finishing and my stance has not change. Nacho is a more lethal finisher than Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus. Despite all the noise about Gabby, I watch him miss goals and sigh, Nacho will bury that. However, their other attributes, work rate, speed, skills and defending makes them a preference.

I respect the technical managers like Emery, Guardiola etc. They want the work rate over finishing. Just like Klopp prefers Firmino to Benteke or Guardiola prefers Gabriel Jesus to Aguero. I will pick Aguero ahead of Gabby any day.

The Spaniard (Guardiola) isn’t sold on the conventional striker, whose sole role is to find the back of the net and break scoring records, he also demands [b][/b]great off-the-ball work, technical prowess and tactical intelligence from his forwards. [/b]From Goal

When I watched Mbappe and Gabby Jesus, I did not see that lethal striking force I see in Nacho and rated Nacho ahead. Until today, Nacho is more lethal [b][/b]but in all round play they trump him. [b]

Gerrit?

tbaba1234:


Kelechi scored from several cameos at Man City though.

Anyway, i think we should allow Kelechi grow.. Mbappe is playing at a higher level than him now. Hopefully Kelechi can reach the heights of world football. But for now, let him grow.

Daejoyoung:

Mikel is a world class player.

Mickael2:



do you know that at some point last season a Southampton player had the highest number of interceptions and tackles as a midfielder but who cares? I sure can't even remember his name. Then there was Krychowiak when he was the top tackler too but he is in West Brom now. My point is tackling isn't everything, if you are a super tackler you will make a steady living in a mid-table team that loves to chase the ball, when you make that leap(like Krychowiak going to PSG) you discover that that isn't the only necessary tool.


By the way you know how much I fancy Ndidi, in fact Goldfish and I had a misunderstanding because I was blaming Onazi for our midfield issues instead of Ndidi who was understandably having a tough time then. The simple truth is that Ndidi is brilliant at what he does, but potential wise I would advice him to remain in Leicester or move to an underdog type of European powerhouse(like Monaco) but not Mancity or Barca were possession is everything

Mickael2:

I really really disagree with this moving to a bigger club tag. Not every player is made for the big clubs, I gave an example of Krychowiak who is similar to Ndidi. I believe, in England atleast, Leicester is his best bet. It's not like Puel is a bad manager

edi287:

1. He is playing as a RW. So yes he'll seem like a "Power runner" to you unlike some of us who watched him play in the youth teams
2. Thank you for mentioning a point which I forgot earlier - Ambidexterity. Mbappe is comfortable scoring with both feet and even the biggest Nacho fanboy wouldn't dream of comparing both on that.
3. Go watch all the goals Mbappe has scored. It's on youtube. Then tell me Nacho scores greater variety because he scored a freekick against Argentina.
I do watch well. It's how I picked up his 2 main qualities which he's probably world class at - Finishing(alot closer to world class) and a final ball. His off the ball movement is good but nothing special when compared to the likes of Mbappe and G Jesus. That's why Pep sold him. That's why Pep played Sterling as a false 9 even when Nacho was fit. These are facts!!

In France that Giroud and Lacazette were like Maradona.

another chance to repeat this beckons in the weekend..lets see if it will repeat.

edi287:

@TheS.uperNerd. This is coming from a city fan.

Mickael2:



Make we go back to Ndidi. That boy's progress is one of the best things in Nigerian football

tbaba1234:


I believe the Arsenal game has been postponed

TheSuperNerd:
And soooo?

Draw up a better parameter next time and include Vision and decision making. That way we get to see a more expansive picture... Thank you.

isan:
I disagree big time ..world class players perform week in week out

tbaba1234:


If he does not move to a bigger club, he would not get the desired attention. If he is churning these stats on champions league nights, his profile will grow.

Bigger clubs can also help him improve other areas of his game.

asha80:
l meant leicester vs chelsea in fa cup on sunday

edi287:

Until like 2 months ago, what was the major criticism people had of Nacho?

Daejoyoung:

l'll rather advise him to move to a top ltallian side like Juventus or Roma.
But who says he can't show his attacking potentials in such big clubs like Barca or Madrid? You'll never know.

TheSuperNerd:




Seems the only "facts" you see are the "mbappe facts" while you as usual and unsurprisingly ignore the "Nacho facts".... Awwwwwwwn... You are doing such a good job with the super hypes of Road-Runner Mbappe... Loolll


Still in yawning mode mister..... I'm done.....

Mickael2:


I think there was an error in what I said. He should move to a big club yes, but the type of big club is the issue. Is Valencia a big club? What I have a problem with is saying he should move to a barca type-possession dependent big club. At 21, passing still isn't his best trait, let him just continue what he is doing where he is doing it
