KPOM! Let's hope that he would get on Barca's radar very soon. After all, Sergio Buesquets isn't getting any younger. And by the way, why is there no Barca vs Chelsea game thread O pari tbaba1234: |

eterisan: Gueye is a top DM as well... He will do fine in a bigger side. He is surely better than Bakayoko in Chelsea. Ndidi has been consistent. That is also very important. He does it every week in a big league and appears to be improving. |

edi287:Mbappe? Someone that was as black as his shadow when playing against Madrid? He couldn't contribute an attacking pass in the first leg. Iota stats captured that but that night the commentators were overwhelmingly concerned and focused on Neymar. Ndidi has play at the highest level just like Mbappe, and he delivered absolutely fine and classy! Pls what has Mbappe done? |

eterisan: It does not mean, Gueye was not oustanding. He is only one player, he can't do everything. There is a reason why he remained in the premier league when Villa got relegated. Everton was a Europe chasing team not too long ago, they have struggled with poor coaching this year. 1 Like |

edi287: So many wake me ups... Nacho got a whole lot of those. Hahahahahahahahaha.... Talking about Objectivity, you don't even know Nacho has fantastic technique in the first place. And you say Mbappe got better decision making than Nacho. Mehn.... I laughed my ass out so much... You are a comedian. Wake me up season.... Loooollll.... Wake me up when Mbappe reaches 8 goals in international games for France in as many games. He has played almost same number of games as Nacho for France and Nacho's international stats trumps him so much. Mbappe- 1 goal and 3 assists in 11 apps Iheanacho- 8 goals and 4 assists in 14 apps Also Nacho plays in the EPL..... A 2.0 league rated far above a 1.5 league in ligue 1 and holds some pretty fine records EPL-wise too... so you can imagine the many wake me up calls I could bring up... Loooll But I am still so particular about that freekick... For all his pace, power and flashy plays, Mbappe is yet to hit a freekick goal. How super he must really be... Hahahahahahahahaha...

TheSuperNerd:Mbappe doesn't need a free kick to prove he's better than Nacho. He doesn't take freekicks. Nacho took one and scored. Don't make me go bring two of their comps now and even prove my point even more. Mbappe plays on the wing and as a second striker. The same guy from the 1.5 league had a better season in the ucl than Nacho ever had at any competiton. Isn't the best player in Nacho team from a "1.5" team?? Isn't the player Ndidi is being compared to from a "1.5 league"? Wake me up when Nacho makes any Fifa XI of year. First to 5th team. Make me up when Nacho wins the golden boy Wake me up when Nacho is the youngest to be nominated for Fifa player of the year. Wake me up when Nacho stops getting benched by wingers. Wake me up when Nacho ever performs better than Mbappe in a big competition i.e Ucl and WC. Wake me up when Nacho is a better player than Mbappe. Like seriously. I'll be the first to raise my hands and admit. For now, you're argument is based on blind patriotism. No be only you dey patriotic |

Mbappe in his first ucl season scored 6 in 9 games - fact. Mbappe scored 26 goals in his first full season as a pro despite playing as a second striker and not a team called PSG - fact Mbappe made the ucl team of last season - fact.

edi287: Naaah...yours is blind mbappeism... A syndrome in which euro flavor has really eaten deep into your optic chiasma to make you see nothing beyond " European" goodness... And actually he does need that freekick... Sadly so Backing out because he cannot hit one? Special players know how to hit a good freekick. Look at Pele, Maradona, Messi, Zidane... Even Drogba could hit a good freekick. Is that so hard for Mighty Lord Mbappe of 180million fame... How can a player cost this much and cannot hit a good freekick? Waste of funds if you ask me... Hahahahahahahahaha... On UCL... Well, Nacho still has a good gaol ratio in the UCL. Abi no be when he enter UCL him go see ball play? When he did play, he shone... Simple sturvs really. Even before the Madrid game, he commanded the best goal ratio in all of Europe. Ouuccchhhh... 180 million Mbappe still has just 1 goal and 3 assists in 11 international apps. But a "meagre" 25 million Nacho has 8 GLS and 4 assists in 14 international apps. So much for the very expensive teen wonder... Who can kick a ball that will blow up the moon... Loooll 2 Likes

TheSuperNerd:Mbappe plays out wide or as a second striker for france. Nacho plays as a second striker/st. 180m Mbappe scored 6 in 9 ucl matches in his first full pro season. You're not telling us why a player from a 1.5 league is the best player in Nacho team. Why is our most inform midfielder(Ndidi) compared to a player from a "1.5" league?? Where was Nacho when Mbappe was scoring against city, bvb, Juve, and bayern?? Why wasn't Nacho taking freekicks in city when Yaya Toure, Silva and KDB was around?? Why isn't he taking freekicks in Leicester. Mbappe facts are real facts!!! World class coaches love Mbappe facts!! Football analysts love Mbappe facts! Legends love Mbappe facts!! He'll even some super eagles players would love Mbappe facts!! 12 UCL goals at 19!! But he's overrated because he's not Nigerian |

eterisan:I'm not sure anybody did call him world class It was just someone here that decided to call him that to end the argument From what I've been reading from the so called fan boys I think they mean he's the best for now in performing the traditional DM role which is to shield the defense and break up attack and from most of them, they said there's surely room for improvement and only opined that for the little he's doing now, he should be given a little recognition for it |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by komekn(m): 9:29pm On Mar 14, 2018 |
tbaba1234: I do not think anybody is under rating or being dismissive of Ndidi. What I understand is that people are saying he is an excellent player but not world class yet. With regards to Ngolo Kante there is the small matter of Leicester city defying all odds and winning the EPL. Of which Ngolo was intrinsic to that success it wasn't because he had the most tackles. The silver Ware was the icing on the cake and to further buttress his attributes his fellow professionals voted him the best player in EPL. Don't forget that barely 4 years ago he was struggling to find a club side. When Ndidi wins something and gets some silverware his consistency and week in week out, top performances will give him the recognition he deserves. But until then he's a young prince waiting to be crowned king. 1 Like |

My problem with you is you make calls for players who are not standout players in the Championship, League One, League Two etc. on what basis then? You don't earn a call up just because of the league you play. Even if you play in the EPL, you have to earn a call up by performance there as well. Backwater league or not, you need to perform. And even if you say you have watched the players in question and their that good bla bla bla, don't expect us to fall behind you.. you don't have enough stats to back it up..maybe you should post some videos etc that will add credibility to your position.. at the end of the day, all we see here are just black and white, or blue ( TheGoodJOe ). Be like tbaba, and back it up with videos etc at times. Which is why when tbaba says certain things, I take him more seriously. komekn: |

edi287: Story story story!!! Hahahahahahahahaha..... Nacho got three of his international goals playing as a CF (one from the penalty spot) but his other five goals came as an AM (except for that one- the freekick goal where he paired Iwobi in a double false 9 frontline). That is hard facts mister... So no excuses for Mbappe on the international scene aiit. 180 million gotta produce some magic naa abi? So why cutting him some slack? Abi for PSG doesn't he also come from the right of attack? Does he not come from outwide? Really cheap and weak excusse you raise. Nacho hit 10 EPL goals before age 20... He joined an exclusive club that had Wayne Rooney and a couple of other talented youngsters. He was the first African to hit such milestone before age 20. I guess that means nothing to you because his name is not Mbappe... Nacho also became Africa's youngest scorer in the world renowned Manchester derby. He was also Man City's youngest derby scorer in years. Nacho took freekick for Nigeria naa... With Boss Mikel around... U no dey fear respect of quality? But plsss no muvh talk... 180 million for a player like Mbappe. Surely he must he able to do a lot of things naa... And one of them is hitting a good clean freekick... Abi 180 million comes without the freekick package? huh? Nacho trumps your boy in the international circles man.... And club wise, Nacho still strives in a team not boasting the stardust quality of PSG... Yet, Nacho is still getting those assists and goals in little time given... His class is obvious to all man. This is also why Monaco and Dortmund came for him last summer.... They wanted him. In fact Monaco tabled a major bid which was turned down because of Nacho's British passport aspirations. Come on he is just 25 million naa abi... But this kid can hit a good freekick that made even Dybala envious (see below). He can score with both feet and with his head. He is growing into a all-round attacking beast... But your boy, Mbappe still stays on the flashy roadrunner level with 180 million over His head... Honestly , a 180 million player should be influential against Madrid naa abi? In Neymar's absence, Mbappe was so exposed as reminded of how small he was. He was bang average that day. For 180 million, excuses really should not be welcomed naa abi... I cannot even remember Mbappe winning CNN international goal of the week. So much for all these mbappe hypes really...

TheSuperNerd:Mbappe was influential against BVB, Juve, Man City and Bayern. Why did Nacho flop against madrid. Is Monaco a better team than City? Matic won Fifa Puskas award. By your logic he is a better player than Busquets and surprise surprise - Mikel Nacho flopped in the ucl when he had city first team behind him. Mbappe had a bad game against Madrid without Neymar. Do you see how I'm exposing your weak points?? Mbappe was valued at 36m before his first pro season. Is it Mbappe that can't score and dribble with both feet?? Is it Mbappe that can't score with his head? Neymar having a bad game against Madrid means he's not better than Kane or Son who had good games against Madrid according to your logic? You still keep dodging my question - apart from a final pass and ok let me give you finishing and freekick ( ) name anything else Nacho is better than Mbappe at?? Name 4 big teams like Bvb, bayern, Juve and Man City that Nacho has performed far better than Mbappe?? Tell us why Pep played Sterling and Debruyne as false 9s even when Nacho was fit despite Nacho having better off the ball movements than Jesus?? I'm waiting. Mbappe has performed in league and Ucl. Has Nacho performed in ucl?? I'll tweak one famous quote of Ben Shapiro before I leave - "Facts don't care about your feelings (patriotism). I'm done with this argument. |

Not Mahrez, Not Vardy, Ndidi Yes, Ndidi needs to win trophies to receive the world class tag but he will probably need to move to a bigger club to achieve this.

edi287: Nacho has better Vision than Mbappe naa.... He has the better decision making too. His finishing is on another level. His eye for the final pass is world class. Nacho is such an intelligent footballer. Colin udoh, Jide Alaka, Solace Chukwu, Ed Dove, mumini Alao etc have all at different times given their voices to Nacho's high football IQ. That is only restricting to Home sef just to give you a picture. Internationally, he is reckoned too.... From his days at Man City. By what silly logic is Matic better than Mikel or busquets? because of Puskas award? Like seriously? I tot you wanted to see achievements of Nacho naa.... I decided to drop hints of some and you already fidgeting by making unrelated analogies... Hahahahahahahahaha.... You really don't wanna lose your post as president of Mbappe fan club do you? looollll Talking UCL... How many games have Nacho played in the UCL? In fact, how many minutes has he played? Yet Nacho boast two UCL goals... And his UCL apps are not more than five or six. When Nacho was lording it in the Manchester derby in EPL 2.0 with a goal and an assist, the youngest best performance for an African player in a game of such magnitude... Were you on a hike or something? When Nacho boasted the best scoring stats in the EPL and in all of Europe before the Madrid semis in the 205/2016 season, where you sleeping? Lol... Nacho's run even continues in the English FA Cup... Since January 2016, he has scored more goals than anyone with Only Kane close to him.... So much I can say mister... But you just don't know because you actually don't know about Nacho... But I know all about Mbappe and the stats you are dropping. I can even help you with a few more... But the problem is, you don't know Macho at all. And you run with your single story as "Facts" and "Truth". That is a poor way to view the beautiful game... Lemme drop a quote for you too... "The true enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge" (from Prof Stephen Hawking who just passed away) What you parade as facts are just illusions of the holistic truth. You refuse to acknowledge the whole picture of things, so carry on in your illusion man... Makes you sleep better... Looolll 180 million player that cannot score "common" freekick? Or even influence a big game that matches his 180 million tag... A 180milliom player with poor international stats for the national team playing from basically the same role he plays in for PSG out wide.... Biko make una allow us hear word for hia....
