Just came back from the game and I must say, this was the best I ever saw Ndidi play. He was not just good in his marking but his tracking back to win balls was off-the-chain.

His passing also improved and he was very balanced in his play.

I think he is the most improved player.

safarigirl:
wait o....is Success performing?

If he needs a fourth striker, let him kuku carry Simy that scored a brace for Crotone, at least he has more goals than Success.

There is no wisdom in dropping one impotent striker for another.

Icon4s:


I don't think Rohr has plans for both players against the AFCON. But if I had to choose between Simmy and Success I would go for Success.

Can u feel the Rodgers effect? Andy has been the best player for Leicester since Rodgers took over the reigns and with his reputation even before Rodgers, this boy might be headed for ManU by summer, bkus to me he is the last puzzle in that United midfield. Pair him (as the destroyer) with Pogba as the CM, then watch ManU reclaiming their rightful place at the summit.

BTW, Leicester, a tale of two Nigerians. While one is assimilating the said knowledge from Rodgers, and showing it, the other is wasting away on the bench.

I disagree with your last comment. We can not say Nacho is wasting away because he is part of the team. At the end, Rodgers has his first eleven but it does not mean the others are not assimilating the knowledge Rodgers is passing to the team.

I think the whole team is performing better, not just Ndidi. Are you seeing Wes Morgan playing like a ball playing defender? Not seen him in that light but it is working under Rodgers.

Rodgers has said Vardy is his top pick and he is playing Nacho as a center forward. Meaning Nacho will get his chance when Vardy is not available or when Nacho gets ahead of Vardy in performance. Meaning Nacho needs to keep working hard in training to get ahead. I am very okay with that.

Success is good at holding up the ball and defending, he can also play from the wings as well

I'm not convinced about Simy, it seems before any tournament he starts scoring goals

Success and simmy have no business in afcon

That is the same as taking Simi to AFCON...he should join Juventus

junnyjake:
Chriskels, with these few games providing us another opportunity to beam our lights on Jamilu Collins, is there any chance, you might have changed your stance against him?

Steve Bruce echoes Stoke City fans as he purrs over Peter Etebo

It was what Steve Bruce said as he was leaving his press conference that was probably most telling.

“Where did Stoke find Peter Etebo?” he asked reporters.

“Feirense in Portugal, eh?” he added, with a little whistle of admiration after being told about last summer’s £6.3m signing.

Etebo produced a star turn in the middle of the Stoke City midfield next to Joe Allen as he continued his run of impressive and energetic performances under Nathan Jones.

It’s a midfield which has helped keep five clean sheets in a row… but can’t help break down the door at the other end. It’s four games without a goal in the right end too.

But Wednesday had arrived at the bet365 Stadium as one of the Championship’s most in-form teams and, although injury-plagued, were held largely at arm’s length.

“We are playing a bit makeshift at the minute, truth be known,” said Bruce.

“It’s not the way I wanted to play Hooper in particular, then we have got Winnall and Forestieri has had his problems and with Fletcher not being fit.

“You come here and they have got good players, to be fair to them, very good players for this division and so considering the problems we had, we haven’t played anywhere near where we have been able to.

“Like I said a lot of them have been away, a lot of them are carrying a few knocks and bits and pieces so it’s a point on the road even though it’s probably not what we wanted.”

Jamil and Shehu are not SE quality. Both have no business in the team. I would rather Ola Aina manned that LB/LWB. As poor as Idowu was and will ever be, to me, he aint worse than Jamil. That LB remains a cog in our wheel.

Mickael2:


Bright Dike was injured, or he would have been there.

Anthony Ujah was at the Confed cup, and killed his career. The rest of the players you called are not out and out strikers so I wonder how they got into the conversation.

Now let's talk about Eneramo and Ideye. Please show me their stats for that year

He mentioned four strikers for the Afcon

So if Iheanacho is not performing Success will take his place
