It's too early to say the Championship is a hard grueling marathon not a sprint.

I have seen teams at the top in January by April / May they were out if the players offs. Examples are Leeds and Derby County.

Nonetheless, of all the teams the best equipped in my opinion for this long haul is WBA. They have strength indepth and the best squad with quality players with EPL pedigree.

But in football anything can happen.

Agreed about the championship being too early

komekn:


My proposition remains without contradiction.

Now name the players according to you that I have put aside that my never ending proposition for . And as such l am being biased prejudiced and unbalanced with negative deductions towards Nigerian home grown and born players.

I challenge you no vitriolic rhetoric and abuse just name them. If you make a claim and or allegation I'm not even asking you to substantiate. Just name them very simple.

I will remind you before you misrepresent as you often do.

It's better to be a Lion in a lower league and club than an anonymous mouse in a top club and league.

*Yawns* As always, wanting to waste the time of the court.... Always asking for evidence when it is littered all over and will still deny shamelessly with ever evasive sesquipedalianic Grammer even when shown.

When I ask you to show same, you refuse to do so. You think na me you wan give assignment abi... Nonsense

Bia Nwokem... Roll over and dont waste my time.... In short.... **Changes the channel**

komekn:


Me too.

Putting matters in context this is players who had not scored in the EPL for over a year.

Add to that he has played 50 plus games in the EPL for Leicester and scored if l remember correctly 5 goals add these two and it's 7 goals in three seasons and 50+ plus games.

Yes he is improving but he has a long way to go before we call him an IN- FORM striker and or forward player.

But of course it will be construed as blind prejudice and negative bias and therefore HATRED by quite a good number of contributors here.

Story After Story! Parte After Parte! Epistle after Epistle!


Look,

According to Komekn's Law of "The Here and Now" Iheanacho is in mad form!!! Case Closed!

safarigirl:
stop embarrassing yourself on the internet.

As far as the here and now is concerned, Iheanacho is inform. It was still yout that boldly claimed to us here, that a player is only as good as his last game. Based on Iheanacho's last game, any neutral person will agree he is truly in form, but since you stink of prejudice and emotive bias you no go gree, then you are here claiming you aren't a hater.

You are now rounding up all his games over the last five years to defend your bias, look at how you are making a fool of yourself and contradicting your own words. Come and give me a list of players that have been in form five years in a row. Going by this your useless analysis, even your Tammy Abraham is not in form, after all, not so long ago, he was a massive flop in EPL.

You should take an entire bottle of those Bitterness pills you earlier recommended.

Your bitter deep seated rancour has completely befuddled your mind.

Many moons ago you threw vitriolic rhetoric and unrestricted abuse towards Tega. Your words were he would never make it in the EPL. He is not good enough bla bla and all sorts irrelevant Balderdash.

He does not even know you but you got so heated with your opinion and allowed your whole being to be carried away on an emotive roller coaster of hatred and dislike. It's incomprehensible why. I can not understand it.

Now he is essentially one of the best strikers in the world and it's too much for you to swallow.

Tega was the second highest goal scorer in Swansea with 5 goals in the EPL Jordan Ayew was the first with 7. The team was in free fall they had about 8 managers over 4/5 seasons confused and no direction in the club.

He promptly went to Villa and tore up the Championship again. I can say the rest is now history he is now numero one at Chelsea. And the world is his oyster.

My view is very simple you don't create IN- FORM from two games in the EPL or any other league for that matter.

Particularly when he has been essentially woeful for the past two seasons in the EPL.

If after 10 games if he has kept up his current trajectory you can say he has got some form or is striker IN- FORM.

I hope he does well because he seems to have improved on many fronts. The multiple handicaps are being addressed and Leicester have been exceptionally patient not many clubs will give any player that amount of time.


Nigerian Players with consistent form for over 10 years, OBAGOAL,YAK, YEKINI, IKPEBA, FINIDI, .

That's what we mean by consistent form. But you don't understand that.

But you can't even engage in clean concise discussion based on a substantive approach. Every time you HIDE and EVADE.

Komekn
You shouldn't forget to note that M'Baye Niang has played more minutes than josh maja thus leading to him scoring more goals
The stats says it

Stats are indicative but still they can be absolute.The unit not measurement is simply number of goals scored. NUTTIN else.

There is no law that says because a player plays more games he will score more. It's probable but not neccesarily logical a proven theory.

You take your chances and opportunities score and claim the glory.

Bringing minutes into the equation is to confuse matters.

If you score your club will give you more games and minutes. If you don't then the reverse is the case it's simplistic.

Hello Komekn...please I am sorry to distract you... kindly help us work on this theory or better still Chriskels can help out... I believe it will aid our football analysis and holistic approach to football discussion and write ups...

1) Komekn Theory 1 - Lion in small league theory

2) Komekn Theory 2 - Here and Now theory

What do you think prof.

Hide and evade? That sounds like someone I know in here... His name starts with a K and ends with an N.

It's Christmas season Komekn, for once just admit your law of the "here and now" have done you a great disservice in this Nacho discourse.

Loic Remy gives Chelsea a scare after Lille's young stars are benched

It was a surprise to see both Jonathan Ikone and Victor Osimhen on the bench - but both could enjoy bright futures in England

By Will Magee
Tuesday, 10th December 2019, 10:42 am

STAMFORD BRIDGE -- Frank Lampard will have felt quietly relieved when Lille’s line-up was announced an hour before kick off. There were enough reasons for Chelsea to feel confident already, not least that Les Dogues had taken only one point from their first five Champions League games.

Since the current group stage format was introduced, the only French side to have totalled fewer points in a single campaign were Marseille when, in 2013, they lost all six matches and ended with zero. Lille’s single point this season came against Valencia in October and, even then, with their opponents down to 10 men, it required a last-gasp equaliser.

That goal – an absolute rocket, by the by – was scored by Jonathan Ikone who, at 21, is one of several exciting youngsters at Lille. While he has impressed in the midfield this term he has been somewhat eclipsed by , a forward eight months his junior. Having scored twice in the Champions League this season, Osimhen could rightfully claim to have netted two thirds of Lille’s European goals for the campaign come kick-off. One of those goals came against Chelsea at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, a glancing header to level the scores which was answered by a late winner from Willian.

It was a surprise, then, to see both Ikone and Osimhen on the bench at Stamford Bridge. Before the game, Lille manager Christophe Galtier had talked about playing for pride but, on the face of it, this was not his strongest team. Osimhen scored the only goal of Lille’s win against Brest last week, while Ikone scored the winner against Lyon a few days beforehand. Both had started against Brest but Ikone made way for Yusuf Yazici and Osimhen was swapped out for Loic Remy, who spent two middling seasons with Chelsea and who, after an otherwise quiet game, announced his return with a thunderous second-half consolation.

Osimhen has been tentatively linked with a move to Tottenham in January, which makes a sort of sense. Spurs have a Lille connection in the form of Nuno Santos and Joao Sacramento, the two coaches who opted to join Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff at Spurs and hugely irritated Galtier in the process. Asked about Osimhen’s future recently, Galtier was quoted in the French press as saying: “I think that he will stay [until the end of the season], but in football nothing is certain.” Perhaps he was worried that Mourinho would be watching from the shadows, greedily coveting Osimhen like football’s answer to the Eye of Sauron, though there is probably a simpler explanation for the young forward’s omission.

Already guaranteed to finish rock bottom of the group, Galtier had other priorities going into this game. Though he spoke of his respect for the competition and the need for his players to be “beyond reproach in terms of their commitment” in the build-up, he would have been naive to chase a lost cause given Lille’s situation domestically. Third in Ligue 1, occupying the last Champions League qualification spot, Les Dogues are six points behind Marseille in second but only one ahead of Rennes in fourth. Bordeaux and Nantes are two points behind them in fifth and sixth respectively, while Lyon and St-Etienne are also within touching distance. It’s tight, to say the least.

With all that in mind, it felt as if Galtier had come to terms with the end of Lille’s European adventure this season and was, in a stroke of pragmatism, looking to guarantee the next one. Despite Lille offering little for much of the match – Remy’s goal was their first shot on target – they did at least make it a nervy finish for Chelsea. Ultimately, though, this Champions League campaign has represented a steep learning curve for Galtier’s side, who have been short on goals – Osimhen aside – and far too vulnerable defensively. We will have to wait to see Osimhen in action against Premier League opposition, though not for long if the transfer gossips have their way.

Like i once told you, you can choose your own narrative depending on what side of the fence you want to be. "In-form" can be looked at from different angles. But after a player has repeated a feat, one can rightly conclude, that player is in-form especially if the player has once shown that ability. However, to conclude that the same player is no longer in form, I think that player has to show a loss of form (be unconvincing) over a period of time. So a player can still be said to be in-form even though the player may not be as good as others in terms of consistency etc.

komekn:


This na person were go school.

Suppose know say a word has meaning from the words and subject surrounding it in other words context.

But unfortunately she doesn't just argument without substance or rational.

I think you are right to some extent. But failing to consider the minutes the player has played is failing to look at all the factors... Even football analysts always brings that to bear when they are evaluating a players performances. They seldom leave that detail out of the discussion.

If you score your club will give you more games and minutes. If you don't then the reverse is the case it's simplistic.

Dude repeated a feat.. That alone shows the first was not a fluke. Any honest person who watched Nacho over those two games will know he is finally back and improved. Let's put sentiments aside.

Sportilitica:

Hmmmm. Why don't we just wait till 10 games to judge. He is rediscovering his lost confidence. Let him continue to achieve before one dip in form now will lead to people insulting the dude.

Joebie:

So what happens of he doesn't score for the next 5 matches what will you say.

I disagree, you can't use two games too say a player is now IN-FORM.

We can say he has improved but l would not say he is IN-FORM.

You use the term finally back. Does that mean he has been asleep for over two years.

Joebie:

I don’t know any football analyst that will use the minutes you played determine your quality.

You may not believe me but l know a lot who are backroom staff in EPL clubs. They bring forth the analysis but in actual fact don't make the decision.

Managers, coaches review the stats and data and make a deduction from there. The assumption is that if your limited minutes count the you will get more.

If you don't it's because you didnt use your limited minutes to impact the game.

@bolded, that's not what I just suggested. I only said that will be part of the discussion.

Maybe my narrative is probably reflection of my association in football.

Managers, recruiters want to get a player who can impact the game. Deduction will be made on your attributes, your potential, unique selling points, age, value, etc. Then the next question can that player fit in with club style, philosophy and strategy. You may be great for one club but useless for another.

But your past and present make it easier to make projections and decide. That's why when a player has been consistent over two or three seasons value rises higher.

Osimhen is getting rave reviews because he has been consistent not because of a few games. But consistent in Belgium and now France.

Joebie:
@bolded, that's not what I just suggested. I only said that will be part of the discussion.

Yes among other variables but not the core consideration.

If you are not getting a lot minutes it means there are question marks it is not by any means an advantage.

I already answered that question in my other post. I think in-form is more of in the present. After Iheanacho's FA Cup games, I was not convinced. but after he displayed similar performances in the EPL again and again, then I had no reason to doubt that he is not only back to his early Man City days but has improved in other areas of his game.

komekn:

Well the reasons why will have to be looked into.

And that l then use a different indices when it comes to Nigerian origin players born in the UK players you term FB.

Smh... What is obvious to most here needs no further revelation. That would be wasting our time and giving you room and chance to maneuver as you like.

Come on now... you can do it! Ball is in thy court now... Go on...

Eric Djemba Djemba..

So many young African players fall into this trap. They start earning some money and feel they have arrived.

Very sad story. Saw it on Shina's TL when he droped it.
Indiscipline and a false sense of "I have arrived" have killed a lot of bright young football careers. Success.... True success comes when one is willing to cut out women, booze and fake big life mentality and focus on what brought him into a career like football.
