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.
Using this statement I can say Iorfa isn't EPL quality that's why wolves decided to send him to the reserve the moment they gained promotion

Go back and look at core subject which country has the most IN-FORM players which in itself alludes to top quality outstanding consistent performing players.

Then the bench mark from which the context of this discourse emanates from which s the top 5 leagues in Europe.

As good as Ajayi is he is in the Championship most probable he will be in the EPL next season. Until then he is not in the equation.

If we are to look at French league two then we are literally talking 75 Senegalese players at least, they are too many to count.

That's the context.
ig we are to remove the championship then we exclude the Belgium league too
You said in-form and didn't specify in Europe top 5 leagues
And at the bolded , are they inform and are you counting prospects?

Calm down bro

You should praise him a little at least

Yes he has not been playing but the ones he managed to play he got on the score sheet and got some assists, isn't that impressive bro?

What makes you think if he is given more game time he would not do more than this?

First of all don't be presumption led without any substance.

Why are players top world class players because they are consistent on top of the game from season to season. Essentially without any drop in quality, that's extremely difficult.

That's why Ronaldo, Suarez, Mane, Messi, Kane Lukaku, Van Dyke, Ramos, etc are world class players. So if they get injured we don't assume they have lost form.

Go back and look at Keita's pedigree and consistency at such a young age.

Go back and look at Salif consistency over the last few seasons in the Bundesliga .He has not lost ability after 5 games, just not played because of injury that's a ludicrous an ill-judged deduction you are making about him. Why to score points, l have no idea.

Then look at the nonsensical proposition you make with zero substance. That l am biased you clearly jumped on the prejudiced band wagon without even thinking.

When looking at top goal scorer that doesn't include everyone who has scored a goal. My benchmark is usually the top 10 goal scorers.

There are about twenty places before you get to players with 5 goals where Maja is indeed there are over 11 players with a 5 goals tally. It's simply not outstanding. That's your opinion of bias, if you have courage you should apologise.

If anything I could be accused of bias against Senegal. Do you know that there are over 50 players showing allegiance to Senegal in the French league one alone. I doubt if there is any team in French league one without a Senegalese origin player. Because the lower you go in the goal charts the more Senegalese players you are likely to see.

I could have talked about 20 year old Boubacar Kamara the claimed next Thiago. That may likely play for Senegal wanted by a plethora of EPL club to show the strength in depth that Senegal have but l didn't.

Before I forget Ismaila Sarr is a winger and his goals tally is not expected to be on the same as a striker. Nonetheless, you didn't do your homework. If you did you would have known he was injured from Afcon. He has been struggling to get fit for the intensity and rigours of the EPL.

He has just recently played 3 games in the EPL and scored one goal as well as has had a big impact for Watford in just three games. But he is far from being IN-FORM certainly not from three games.

Finally, I digress somewhat, what I find shocking is there may be more Senegalese players in the EPL than Nigerian. That's simply not right considering our colonial past with England.

You and many others here don't understand the meaning as elementary as it is of biased.


Stop giving excuses if Sarr was a Nigerian Player, you wouldn't not be giving this silly excuses.

And when we are talking of form we are talking of the here and now in your own words. Salif Sane performance over the last 5 seasons is not what is been discussed now but his performance this season and that is what we mean by FORM.

And finally stop changing the topic of discussion we are talking about Senegalese Players and not French Players of Senegalese origin because if that's the topic been discussed there are also hundreds of Nigerian origin players in the English Leagues

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.

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.

But you can make silly excuses for Ismailla Sarr for underperforming

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is impressed by the versatility of Bordeaux young star Josh Maja, saying the former Sunderland striker is capable of playing in three offensive positions.

Maja became the latest dual-eligible outfield player to be handed an international debut by the German football tactician when he replaced Victor Osimhen in the closing minutes of Nigeria's 2-2 draw with Ukraine in September.

Since October 1, the Bordeaux number 9 has been the most decisive Nigerian player in Europe's top five leagues, contributing to 6 goals (4 goals, 2 assists) in 8 matches, including a hat-trick vs Nimes.

''He was on our list of players to watch, he was already attracting our attention, although he was only playing in League One, because our scouts were studying him closely from England ....,'' said Rohr to So Foot.

''This is not a chance, he seized his chance with the various injuries of his teammates, and his hat-trick is part of the progression he displays.''

Rohr went on to reveal the role played by another Nigeria international Samuel Kalu in helping Maja settle at Bordeaux, having joined the club in January 2019.

''And when he arrived in Bordeaux, he was not alone: ​​there was another Nigerian, Samuel Kalu. So his integration, carried out in good working conditions and surrounded by a good staff, was facilitated.

''It could only move in the right direction. Above all he is quite versatile, on the offensive side: he can play at the three front positions, in a system with two or three attackers.''

Are you guys really serious about that 'Best performing foreign born prospect' award section?

You might want to have a review on that. I don't think it is polite to make them feel less Nigerian than they are.

That section should be removed or renamed.


N.B. It is similar to an award section like;
Best performing Igbo Nigerian Player : Ndidi
Best performing Yoruba player : Ola Aina

Why would you want to call them foreign born to their face?

It promotes segregation. They are all Nigerians and should remain as that.
