Andy, it would surprise you that he can also deputise for Firmino. He can play the Firmino role akin to Firmino himself. He is not only hardworking with excellent workrate (just like Bobby), but he is also very technically gifted, strong on the ball, a good finisher and creator too. Dude is good ooo. He will be a fine rotation player for Liverpool in midfield and in attack.

He will not start ,that’s all I am saying

He is a winger and we know who are Liverpool wingers

Where did you ever see me make excuses for Nacho when he was under performing
.
You claim Sarr was injured when he was under performing. But when somebody told you that Niang has seen nearly twice the amount of Game time Maja has played you discarded it as been excuses

And lastly I can't believe you typed this poo. You claim Sarr as a winger shouldn't score much goals like a striker but the same you as accused Chukwueze a lot of times about lacking end product and yet you claim you are not biased

The entirety of End product in your football dictionary equates to GOALS alone according to you.

Zaha arguably the best winger in the EPL how many goals has he scored this season. And even previous seasons.

Finally, l apologise if l said that you in particular made multifaceted excuses for KC when he has not been perfoming. My statement was intended to be in general

What l should have said that on this thread where KC is concerned in general making multifaceted excuses has been the overriding trend.

Nobody has said that Sarr has been outstanding in the EPL. My posts have said that he had been largely dissapointing.

However, l qualified it with circumstances not excuses so as to be balancedand not too harsh. Particularly as he has been consistently outstanding in the French league one as a winger.

In this regard he has been here in the EPL for 3/4 months struggling with injuries.

However if Leicester are able to qualify for the Champions League during Iheanacho’s first your years at the club, and City want to exercise their buy back option, a fee of £50m has been agreed between both parties.

It's even own goal sef. No wonder you are confused.


But with the striker now poised to officially become a Leicester player, it has emerged that Manchester City have struck an agreement which will see them given the first option to re-sign the 20-year-old if he proves a success at the King Power Stadium.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/01/man-city-insist-50m-buy-back-option-kelechi-iheanacho-moves/

They have first option meaning they can buy him back soon as his Leicester contract runs out. They can't wake up today and ask for the player back because the time has not elapsed

Coach of the Nigeria U17 team that failed to go past the first knockout round of the recently concluded 2019 U17 World Cup in Brazil has for the first time explained why his team failed to match expectations at the tournament.

Manu Garba whose contract has expired with the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) won the 2013 U-17 World Youth Championship for Nigeria and despite winning the WAFU B U17 tournament, the team finished fourth at the Africa U17 Cup of Nations.

At the World Youth Championship they qualified for the knockout phase but lost to the Netherlands to crash out against the expectations of many due gto their pedigree at the tournament which they have won five times.

Explaining the failure, Manu Garba said it has to do with a lot of issue concerning his team and it manifested at the tournament as they struggled to find their rhythm as a team despite their individual talent.

” First of all I will like to apologies to the people we disappointed but at the same time I want them to know that this tournament is a developmental phase in the career of players. So the gains will be seen in the future “, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” Secondly it’s not the team we intend to present at the tournament but circumstances beyond our control cause it. For instance our first choice goalkeeper and central defender missed out for various reasons.

” The first choice striker of the team was also not fully fit and our main central midfielder was also missing due to injury. So we have to patch up certain areas with other options behind our regulars. It wasn’t my team”, the coach explained.

You people should stop saying Northerners are not ambitious, just because they don't conform to the Southern definition of it. It is a fallacy of generalisation.

First of all, the North is made up of hundreds of ethnic groups, so, which of them are you talking about exactly? Because I can also say that certain Southerners are not ambitious either.

Secondly, what is your definition of 'ambition?' Ambition varies, and you can only be as ambitious as your situation allows you at certain times.

I greatly disagree with this notion, that Northerners are not ambitious, do not confuse contentedness with lack of ambition. A majority of them are contented with where they have found themselves, and it is enough for them. Not everybody wants to conquer the world and majority of the world's population will not even conquer the world.

It is the ambition of the Southerners that has them committing all sorts of crimes outside Nigeria as well, so, let us not pretend ambition is always positive. A lot of times, ambition can be ugly.

Having lived in the North, I can say that the Northerners have realistic ambitions

PS: You conveniently specified the South West as having ambitious leaders, but you want to lump the North with three zones together undecided

No. You totally missed the buy back clause.

First option to buy. Meaning Nacho can not be sold to any club without City giving the nod.

Manchester City have re-signed left-back Angelino from PSV Eindhoven.

The 22-year-old defender left City last year but the Premier League champions have activated a £5.3million buy-back clause in his contract at the Dutch club.

The non ambitious northerners supposedly.

Have effectively without ambition created a defacto dictatorship. The theory of Separation of powers a mere slogan.

The CJN removed unconstitutionally and the NA assembly an appendage rubber stamp body of the Executive.

Sowore's case confirms the state the nation is in. When the DSS have now become the new official thugs of the Executive. Able to invade a court and send the judge running in trepidation completely unopposed.

It's now a precedent the DSS is above the law. I remember when the DSS locked up the NA so Senators and Representative members were denied access to the house.

And someone says they are not ambitious.

The entire security apparatus of the nation is controlled by who The South❓

Look at the key positions of the state who is in control. The former finance minister removed on spurious presumptions about a NYSC exemption certificate. Meanwhile the president is unable to prove he went to secondary school and graduated.

Yet they are not ambitious.

Who is fooling who and who are the big learned highly educated and ambitious big fools.

Shaqiri was bought as a backup for Salah and Mane..Everybody including Shaqiri was clear about that before he signed.. How many games did u expect him to play? He still played 30 games out of about 50 last season. If not for loss of form and injuries, he would have played more!!

Regarding Origi, Klopp's doesn't like playing with an out and out striker! he prefers a false9. Origi is often deployed as a winger self. it has nothing to do with his performance!!


With the exception of Marko Grujic,there's no player Klopp as signed that hasn't been given a fair amount of game time!!/

I don't care how many games Minamino will play cus I'm already sure he will be a key player for us.
