Thanks for that. As you can see, he ain't looking for Silva and De Bruyne kind.

He didn't spend loads of money like you said. He didn't spend at all, he used what he had. I do not like his style of play at all and I am not defending it at all, but put Mikel in the same role as Besic and then place someone like Silva or even Mata ahead of Mikel and he will get more than 100passes even if the coach is Pulis. Midfielders getting a high number of passes per 90minutes is down to their midfield partners, if they are ball players better for you.

Mickael2:


Brother, Iheanacho played for 22 minutes against Tottenham, I am not sure what your point is then.

Barnes is not a striker, I will definitely criticise a striker for missing easy chances like that more than I would a midfielder. Besides I did criticise him for those misses, or do you expect me to be writing it all over the thread? Is he a Nigerian? What then is my business with him? While watching the game I severely criticised him and when I argued about it with Basco I still pointed that Barnes was the reason why Leicester didn't at least get a draw. But at the end of the day he did his job perfectly as a LM and we can excuse him as he is not a striker. If Iheanaho misses those chances as a striker then that is different boss.

So where are the stats to back it up??

If Nacho missed those chances, you would have been All over the thread.

After Vardy entered, how many chances did you see Barnes getting. That is because the target with Vardy on the pitch is different from the chances without Vardy.

By the way, even though Barnes played as a LM player, he was still one of the forwards during the attack. If Nacho had that kind of performance, you would be criticising him. You even admitted.

Finally, we can talk when Nacho has a run in an offensive system. Till then, it is unbias criticism because I pointed it out before he joined Leicester City.

Finito.

Tony Pulis will not look for or want players like Mata and Silva. Mikel can average 80 passes and above. I know that but Puel is not the kind of coach that sets up his teams that way.

I said Mikel has the capability. Telling me of Silva, De Bruyne, Mata does not change the point.

Understand?

Ur last paragraph hahahahaha
komekn:


He has a long way to go to get match fit, then impose his quality on the game. He also does not have a lot of time to do it.

However, he has had a good star, first game from the bench late substitute then to score.

I saw a video of Iheanacho break dancing in Leicester dressing room

The guy doesn't care one bit grin

One would expect that a serious player in Iheanacho's condition would have forced a loan to another team or league that he feels would bring the best out of him. But like you have just pointed out, HE DOESN'T CARE!.

Even in the lead up to the WC when he desperately needed to keep match fit, he was benched sotey dem demote am to U-23, and yet he wasn't bothered!. Just imagine!. An international first-team player going to the WC is comfortable getting demoted to Leicester's youth teams!.

I swear, Iheanacho is his own biggest problem.

Yes boss! talent everywhere. I do think Rohr and Nff should be commended on how they have made the National team very attractive. Also, the selection criteria has been raised. You don't play regularly, forget the National team. Boys are now moving to clubs where they will get playing time.
I watched Simon against Celta this past weekend, I must say the guy made a strong claim to a starting shirt at Levante. Anytime, he has the ball he was menacing. The commentators kept calling him the menacing Nigerian International, Naso my head dey swear! Aina has been absolutely impressive for Torino, Collins for paderborn, Semilore too, Awaziem no wan gree, Omeruo new Baresi! Ekong, Balo, Ebehui is getting better, Shehu dey even Akpeyi self is getting rave reviews in Southie.
Mikel Obi something else at Boro, Ndidi dey, Iwobi dey, Etebo best player for Stoke this season, Agu self no wan gree. Let me just stop there cos for attack Dem plenty. I am jealous of Rohr yet I pity him. He has to take only 23 to the Afcon out of all these exceptional talent.
i love the sound of these... I can't wait for afcon to come abeg... Buying an original GREEN WHITE GREEN this time.... You forgot kalu,chukwueze, and all those u23 boys...not to forget I'd like us to meet southi in a knockout and BEAT them again.... Nothing I love more than beating those people.....

Leicester have been playing brother ball. When Vardy comes in the game all the balls are straight to him but any other striker has to wait till everybody else gets tired of trying to score. I find it funny that intelligent Nigerians are easily overlooking the fact that Musa was booted from this same club and immediately proved that he is a good player.

Just read on BBC about CAFs action against Ismaily during a CAF club competition where their fans went berserk. I hope and pray that their fans won't disgrace the continent during the next ANC especially if the pharaohs get beaten.

He is a Liverpool player and he signed a contract extension at the beginning of the season...

I'm not sure what is going on but it seems like the health certificate was issued before he actually arrived. I think he should have arrived first then gone for a medical? I'm not sure how it works.
His club also had points deducted and that has taken them from the top half of the table to the bottom half. They are trying to appeal so it may soon be resolved.

Chelsea isn't a club that encourages the development of young players at all...

They have such a talented player like Hudson Odoi but won't give him enough chance. Even blocked his move to Bayern!

They have another talented player in Tammy Abraham but prefer an ageing Higuain.


I hope they let Aina and Omeruo leave at the end of the season....
As far back as more than a decade ago, i always wondered why Chelsea is just after grown men and they throw away young talent. I still recall the Lukaku fever not long after Drogba retired.


i as am arsenal fan was convinced that Lukaku was gonna fill in those shoes, but now see where he is.


Is it not the same Chelsea that have over 40 loanees in 2014 till date? and the chances of returning is very very very, infact zero.

Mikel has spoken the truth. Chelsea lacks a leader since Terry retired. Just a bunch of guys that feel they can just do it all. Dem go hearam.


Should i also blame Roman, Mou? They share blames kinda for this system Chelsea enjoys.

Someone should help me recall, but i thought twas part of the reason Emenalo has issues back then.


Imagine Hudson dey use Chelsea form. The boy knows the history and is taking advantage cos he knows how twill end.

Any young player that wants to develop should stay away from Chelsea.

That club lacks patience with it's players and mangers! ..

With Tammy Abraham's form in the championship with Bristol I expected him to get a chance to fight for a shirt.. but nah it was straight to Swansea.. He didn't do that badly with Swansea either and boom! straight back to the championship while they had Morata,Giroud and now Higuain

Salah and De Bryune faced the same thing..

Biko,they should let Aina leave if Torino make a bid for him...same with Omeruo

The game I am talking about is the recent 3-1 loss. Chances were created for people who got into the right positions, who made the right runs. Even Ndidi of all people actually got a nice chance in the first half from which the penalty was awarded because instead of pulling the trigger after a combo with that Barnes guy(or whatever his name is from the U23) he passed to Madison I believe who was then fouled. A system that creates chances even for the DMF is not a bad system. I will post the highlights right away then I expect your opinion afterwards.
Puel mostly plays "negative football" against the big sides and let's be honest - the results justify it most of the time.
We've had Vardy complain that they don't play as direct as before but he has adjusted. What excuse do we have for a talent like Nacho then?
We were all calling him "alien kid" here and now we're saying he needs the a world class midfield to thrive?
It's either his allround game was overrated from the start or he isn't capable of adapting to change.
We've been through the position issue and Leicester have played him as an out and out striker and a support striker so that's not an excuse anymore.
