Icon4s: Esiti and Agbo made it to the SE under Rohr even before Ogu and Joel. And by the way, I was only correcting the guy who said Esiti and Ideye failed to deliver when they were given the chance. I know you've always had reservations about Agbo, that's fine, but you'd agree with me that he has been treated unfairly, and there's no way he'd perform worse than Joel. 1 Like |

Match ratings review by Les Sports+ on the WB-Charleroi game... - Roughly interpreted. Osimhen was given highest marks of 7. Bruno imprecise, good first for Osimhen: the zebras report card C. V. Charleroi got the draw in Waasland-Beveren (1-1). The Carolos had opened the scoring but cracked in the second period, being reduced to 9. Here are the ratings given to players by our specialist. Penneteau 6.5. The French goalkeeper spent a quiet first half. Can not do anything about the purpose of Waasland. Marinos 6.5. Strong in the duels, the right-back was not content with his defensive role. Caught behind him when Charleroi was playing at ten. Martos 6.5. The first ruler of his team, the central defender has proved that he had regained his level of last season. Dessoleil 5.5. Dorian has regularly found himself in the right place to counter the centers. He raises the ball in the axis on the 1-1. Nurio 6. He made no defensive mistake. He failed to bring the danger to the offensive phases of Sporting. Sober match. Bruno 5. Did not manage to make the difference before leaving the game following the exclusion of Ilaimaharitra. Missed precision on the stopped phases. Ilaimaharitra 5. His exclusion seems severe because his sole on Boljevic's foot does not endanger the physical integrity of the Beveren player. Diandy 6.5. Eternal shadow worker, his mission is essential for the balance of the team. He took care of his raises. Benavente 6. His grip on the game hennuyer is logically smaller when he evolves on the left flank. Performed his defensive work. Osimhen 7. For his first tenure with Sporting, the Nigerian striker showed some great things while scoring, on a heel, his first goal among the pros in Europe. He has also shown interest in combinations by serving as a point of support for his partners. When Charleroi was outnumbered, the 19-year-old did not hesitate to work to help his team. Niane 6.5. He offers assist to Osimhen on the first goal of the match before hitting the latte. Missed the frame in the second half. Hendrickx 6. Played after the exclusion of Ilaimaharitra to work in the midfield. What he did by multiplying races and duels. Gholizadeh 5. Raised so that his confusing game brings danger to an individual action. Did not manage to make a difference. Mazzù (coach) 6. Made a winning choice by placing Victor Osimhen in his base eleven instead of Jérémy Perbet.

junnyjake: But Ogu and Joel have been in the Super Eagles long long before any one even knew an Agbo existed some where. Super Eagles didnt start with Rohr. At the second bolded, see I don't condone mediocrity, and I dont apply sentiments when I rate a player. Uche Agbo does not have the kind of ability to become a regular in the SE. I have followed that boy since he played U20 under John Obu. Just like I dont also rate Mikel Agu despite how he was hyped here until he started playing and we saw what he is capable or not Capable of. And as for the last bolded. Though Joel Obi's delivery seems to have diminished due largely to long injury lay offS, but he is currently still far better than Uche Agbo. Uche Agbo treated unfairly? Tell me which Midfield player that made the WC team that he could have displaced. |

zicky:...at least he is Pep's kind of player. I remember when Jesus first came to City and I went to their forum to tell them he wasn't better than Kelechi and Pep was being an ass sidelining Kelechi for him. They thought he was an awesome addition. He's turning out to be another fraud with a Brazilian passport. Anyway, props to City fans, many of them still think Kelechi should never have been sold and I find that they are some of the most supportive of their ex-players. City fans always look forward to the games of their former players and wish them well, Arsenal fans on the other hand, are like that bitter ex that wishes misfortune on all their former players  4 Likes |

I shared same fact on Twitter hours earlier. Lol... Not taking anything away from Gabby J shaa, he is a fantastic young player but I knew all along that he won't outdo Nacho at City. I still insist that a Nacho at City now surrounded with the plethora of service from Bernardo Silva, KDB, Sane, and Mahrez will notch 20+ EPL goals per season super easily. Even with Gabby J as Pep's "chosen one", Kun Aguero still outshines him match after match. Same Kun Aguero that was the reason Nacho was having limited game time at City at first before even Pep came in. Yet Nacho held his own to emerge 2nd top scorer for the club just behind main man, Aguero. Anyway, let the game story/journey continue... Both players are still young and developing. safarigirl: 1 Like 1 Share |

You are right. Truly a good number of Man City fans still adore Kelechi. They are never ashamed to congratulate him when he does well for Nigeria or for Leicester. They still consider him a top quality young player and he is highly regarded by a good number of the Cityzens. I see their comments on Twitter on matchdays most especially. Cool set of fans. safarigirl: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Jesus lasted 39 full 90min matches + 81mins and gave 25goals Note: Gabriel was only able to best Nacho goals with 17 more full 90mins matches One word for 'Manchester city Nacho' #Deadly Iheanacho mistake was staying so long in city when it has all been written all over the wall that Pep does not fancy/need him. I hope he can get back to his best. |

Icon4s: You have every right to rate and not to rate any player of your choice, I'm not like Komekn who'd come with some sick lines trying to make you feel guilty when you don't agree with me. Agbo has grown from the player you followed at U-20. Had he been given chances like Agu, we'd know what and what not he's capable of. He's been getting invited over and over again, but not a single Minute to show for it, isn't that unfair? Agu joined the team in London to play against Serbia, and Agbo that had been in camp prior to that never played, that's unfair. And I'm not saying he should have replaced any of the midfielders that made the WC squad. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: Which improvement? What did Nacho do that he has not done at City? Yes they played better but as a whole, you will not rate that display as a creative attacking system. Mourinho plays with loads of offensive players but his systems are not creative attacking system. I always hammered that Puel's system is inhibiting not just the team but Nacho. The early goal they conceded made them switch the gear a bit up. |

safarigirl: For once, I never bought into Gabrael Jesus and Gabriel Berbosa (Gabbigol) hypes. When people were insulting KC because of Jesus, I was just SMH. I thank God say breeze dun dey blow to reveal fowl yansh. U wan tell me say if KC was surrounded by the plethora of creative players City has now, he wouldn't be the highest goal scorer in the EPL. He has better predatory instinct as a 9, better accuracy with his strikes and passes, better positioning(he never guessed wrong where to expect the final ball to score, reason some ignoramus called him a tap in marchant), he also tries to work for the team. The only thing Jesus does better than Kelechi is dribbling due to his quick feet. If tapping-in was such an easy thing to do, Jesus would have been praised to the high heavens. But unfortunately, he doesn't have that KC's super positioning sense to tap in. I still remember KC's goal against Celtic that was reminiscent to what he did yesterday, thats what true strikers do. 6 Likes 1 Share |

safarigirl: I totally disagree with that opinion. When we consider system of play and work rate, you will see Gabriel Jesus brings much more than Nacho to the team. So people might hinge on Nacho's prolific finishing but that is not Guardiola wants primarily from his strikers. First priority is insane ability and work rate in tracking back. Nacho does this but not up to Gabriel Jesus. The goal and assists stats do not explain this. 1 Like |

Guardiola on Iheanacho: "I know his quality. I know, of course, he's young and has a lot of things to improve especially in winning duels and be strong in some positions. "But he's a guy who, in the boxes, is really good. He likes to come a little bit out of the box to play, but arriving at the right tempo and attacking the first post is amazing. So, as a guy, he doesn't need many, many chances to score a goal." So Guardiola knows Nacho is a brutal finisher. He knows Iheanacho’s mobility helps him find spaces to finish. But, Guardiola gives his system of play priority. Gabriel Jesus work rate is the key why Guardiola picked him ahead of Nacho. Even Aguero had to improve massively in that aspect to get his run of games. 2 Likes |
