I hope Rohr is following Chukwueze.....and the positions he is playing.....this white people i do not trust them....Now he is performing he may decide to bring him to play wing back...saying he has a lot of wingers....This is how Mourinho destroyed our Mikel and killed his attacking instinct...and that is what they are doing to Musa Yahaya....even though Chukwueze s coach at Villarreal is white....nna there could be conspiracy somewhere grin grin grin

I can say he has sealed it by 60 %, he is currently benching Nicolas Sansone, the Sansone guy hasn't been impressive this season.

Is it too early to say that Chukwueze has sealed a first team starting XI at Villarreal with just 3 L'àliga games?

Nacho nko,if no b say baba form don digress,he hasn't done half of what nacho did

Even obafemi martins in his early days at inter Milan

Scored a good goal as a subtitut against Ac milan semifinals02/03,champions league at age 18 passing thru d likes of nesta and kakha kaladze,won Caf most promising player03/04 cool

Iheanacho did not do half of what Martins did in the Italian primavera not to even mention serie A. He was a beast of a player.

Iheanacho that can't trap ball with his preferred left foot talkless of his right foot which will be more of a pass to any defender. His skillset is piss poor. Form or no form. Confidence or not.

Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen played the role of super substitute as he was on target for his loan side Charleroi to hand them a 4-2 win away to Lokeren in the Belgium top flight.

Osimhen was introduced in the 70th minute, no thanks to his late arrival from international duty with Nigeria and the 19 year old didn’t disappoint as put the game beyond the reach of Lokeren when he put his team 3-1 up.

Prior to today’s game he has found the back of the net against Waasland-Beveren, Cercle Brugge, Gent and Zulte-Waregem where he scored his only brace of the season so far.

Already his fine form has earned him a recall to the senior national team of Nigeria and he started in the 0-0 friendly draw against Uganda in Asaba on Tuesday. His first game at international level for Nigeria in over two years.

Overall he has seven goals this season from 11 games this season in all competitions, a remarkable return for the forward who failed to score a single goal at his parent club Wolfsburg in 18 months.

A lot has been made of the performance of Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong for Udinese in their 1-0 win over Roma in the Italian Serie A yesterday.

Ekong started as the right centre back among the three centre backs played by Udinese and his performance was laced with pace, tackles, blocks and clearance.

Known for his tenacity and pace, Ekong showed his uncompromising nature when it comes to clearing the lines with 12 clearances to his name during the game, more than any defender on the pitch for both teams.

He also blocked one goal bound shot and succeeded in making one successful tackle which he complemented by winning five out of the eight duels he was involved in during the game. One of which include a headed clearance off the head of Edin Dzeko.

Although he failed with two of the long passes he attempted, he succeeded with seven of the balls he played out from the back which earned him a passing accuracy of 58.3, which is impressive for a centre defender.

Am I exaggerating if I say Chukwueze is the biggest talent Nigeria has produced since Mikel?

Calm down bros and wish the boy to be constitent

Nigerians are ungrateful ,if chukwueze lost form many people here will start insulting him

This is not the first time I am hearing such words ,people say nacho is the biggest talent Nigeria has produced since mikel ,but due to nacho has dropped form so many people are already insulting him not knowing he can bounce back to his best

Nigerians are just like chameleon,let's just just enjoy chukwueze in peace okay.

I am tipping him to score 10 laliga goals this season at worst,because he has already cemented his place in the starting 11

It is still early. Based on his age, I'll give it to Iheanacho.

Chukwueze is a gem-ain't gonna argue that. But hasn't done half of what Nacho did in his first professional season at 19too

Don't forget, it only took Nacho 4 minutes to get get his first professional goal for city and less than 20 minutes to double it. He went on to score 14 goals from 16 shots on target that same season, No Nigeria player in recent time has made the kinda rave Nacho made during his first pro - season.

So, on Chukwueze been the biggest talent Nigeria has produced since Mikel, I'll have to wait till May 2019.

I agree with you

I personally think in terms of speed, athleticism and presence very few can match him. However, I still think he is not as good technically as I would like. It may be I've not seen that aspect of his game because, it has not been required.

Dominic Iorfa Father contested the Presidency of the NFF and did call a spade a spade not very diplomatic. That's is he exposed the depth of vote buying. He should have kept quite that's how things are done here if you don't like it dont compete. That left some people to get angry with him.

There is a hard core NFF element but small that dissuaded Rohr not to invite Dominic. That's my totally unsubstantiated view that is birthed from my perception and limited observation. I have zero evidence to support it just my emotive view.

Just the same way I know corrupt politicians and police but have no evidence to prove it.
please don't bring that Iorfa snr contested NFF elections, how many centuries ago be that? Abeg make Iorfa jnr go find club first and perform moderately, you'll see that he'll be invited to the super eagles

Nacho receiving so much bashing of recent is not a surprise.

To whom much is given, much is expected. He (Nacho) has not lived upto half of his hype and expectations. His case is similar to that of Mikel Obi when he moved to Chelsea, people expected so much from such an excited attacking midfielder who was expected to create many goals and score at least upto 10 goals a season could not manage to score 5 goals throughout his stay at chelsea. Will you say he is bad player? No.

It was a nuisance to the ear hearing derogatory remarks about him and why he would have been better playing for Man Utd than Chelsea, how are we sure he would have developed to a player we wanted?.
Unlike Mikel, Nacho decided to leave a club he shunned like a million stars and more suitable to his playing pattern to a club that is comfortable playing a typical kick and follow football all because of temporary bench warming, I remember people making jest of mikel warming the bench, but one thing was certain, every coaches that came to Chelsea then find Mikel totally indespensable.

The deed has been done, what is left for him is to re-invent himself to suit Leicester playing pattern or get another club that suits him better.

What can you say about Chuckwueze's goal yesterday?.. Cos I have noticed that you seem to turn a blind eye to his upward drive

Besides hope you won't talk trash about the Villarreal team fighting relegation bla bla bla because this Villarreal team, a team from Laliga that I know will give Arsenal and Chelsea a run for their money in the Europa League

So I want to hear your thoughts concerning Sam Chuckwueze playing in the Best league in the world and doing very well even if it's still early in the season whether his call-up to the SE is Justified or not

Leicester, Burnley and Watford are the only PL team employing SS and Iheanacho clearly does not fit into any of them

So If Iheanacho is kicked out of Leicester, na straight to Championship or another league

Please you cannot compare Mikel's case with that of Iheanacho. Mikel despite being drafted to the DM role was at that initial stage a starter for a stars studded Chelsea side. Iheanacho was a bench warmer at City and even now at Leicester. Plus Mikel was delivering the goods in the Super Eagles colors. Iheanacho is not making any impact for both Club and country.

Yes, he was overhyped by many but a lot have since lowered their expectations. I never for once hyped him but I also never expected his game level to be this low at this stage in his career such that even Rohr mentioned it that Iheanacho has lost his confidence. His development seems to have stalled since after leaving City. There was a picture taken of Iheanacho and a couple of some other players in camp against SA and he looked so diminished psychologically.

It's either he shapens his pattern after Leicester's style of play or he seeks a transfer next summer.

And that is also why he is not having a place in the SE. He should either develop as a CF or as an AM. Most teams no longer play SS.
