Kelechi should leave Leicester at the end of the season.. If that useless Brendan doesn't leave..
Its very clear to me now that Brendan doesn't rate him..

In his heart of hearts he must know he has made a huge mistake here. I didn’t think Kelechi had a great half, but we had been totally dominant in the first half. Totally bar one good shot from Brooks.

Kelechi clearly has an issue with confidence, and at 1-0 up, he takes him off, as he thinks Bournemouth are causing us problems. Then the manager calls him out at the end. Genius. So the guy who wasn’t playing the second half now feels bad about himself.

its a seriously poor bit of management I’m afraid. Mistakes happen, but this is a really significant one and it will be costly.

If I were Kelechi I'd be considering a transfer request after tonight.

I almost talk say you don start again grin, until I go watch the highlights. The ball got stuck between his legs at a point. I come dey think say na now him dey learn to ball ni? Abi him leg comot for boot ni? grin. It was weird. If it happened from a miscued pass, fine, but he pushed the ball, then that happened, as if he forgot he had the ball. grin. Quite embarrassing. Besides he had a chance in the 18-yard box, at least hit the ball make them block am or make keeper parry am. Na straight to Iyana Ipaja. grin. Maybe na just today, cos he was ok in the previous game.
ChrisKels:
I have been one of the super defenders of Nacho in here, but honestly, stats can be deceptive. Nacho doesn't really offer nothing but the goals, can't control the ball, poor first touch, loses possession more often than not, when he is given a pass, the ball will always find a way to get stock in between his legs, as he struggles to sort out which leg to use, boom...he is dispossessed already, he can't beat his marker, even to give accurate pass, na war, always marking his opponents from behind to give needless fouls. Whenever he gets a pass, there is always a 90% chance he is gonna mess it up by turning it over to the opponents angry


Man! Kelechukwu Promise Iheanacho is becoming quite terrible and irritating to watch. sad

Atalanta under Gasperini is quite a team. But Napoli under Gattuso is also wow. Very tough to play against and Rino himself isn't a one trick pony. He can play defensive and he can play attack if needs be. The man just keeps impressing me. They just played 2-2 against Milan who floored Juventus the other day but It's obvious they could have won if they converted just one of their other several chances.

And you are right, they were really unfortunate/unlucky against Atalanta. Napoli deserved something from that game.


Even without Milik, it is clear this team is very dangerous, creates chances at will and can score goals but they just need another super finisher aside Mertens that will convert more of their chances. This is where Osimhen will surely benefit.



Lol @mustafi and Luiz... Relax man. I think in the end, Victor will choose Napoli. He has bidded his time and I think he sees that an EPL move isn't feasible at this point. I strongly feel the Osimhen - Gattuso relationship will be a fine match in Serie A and this Napoli team will look even deadlier with a Vic as their arrowhead. Time will tell.

TheLoneCitizen:


Napoli had two disallowed goals against Atalanta so it was an unfortunate result.

My awe at this team is the way they still performing without their star striker, Milik.

This team will comfortably defeat any team in the EPL except Manchester City. Yet Osimhen wants to toss such guaranteed opportunity of scoring 20+ goals every year to go with Mustafi and David Luiz. Man!

Yeah yeah yeah see how Solanke moi moi respond to my dissing.

He just slapped me in the face and scored his first goal in the EPL after 38 games and two seasons he has scored.

And to add salt to injury Leicester most important defender and key to thier success at the back Soyuncu sent off.

This game is crazy, against all odd and my earlier prediction Bournemouth could win this one.

Shocking

With just a goal in 39 games and you get a slap. When Nacho scores 10 in a Season, it'd be a kick to your groin. grin grin grin

See Basco, I am just laughing hard here. Perhaps Rodgers need to be taught a big lesson. He has been "yanking off" Nacho every game for the past three games even when he has always made them dangerous with his presence in the final third alongside Vardy. He's always provided that link between their midfield and attack. But Rodgers does his usual by taking him off.

Now they are losing and even a World class Wasteman like Solanke has scored against them. Someone that has not scored in 39 games of EPL football for Bournemouth.
That is it for Leicester. Rodgers has blown this one. Lol



No mind am. Had the guts to say Iheanacho was poor, somebody with at least 2 shots on target already with a hand in a goal. I am just glad the Leicester fans see through his nonsense

Just finished watching the final 45 of Zaragoza and Real Oviedo and mehn what a game. James Igbekeme is injured so he was not listed for the game.
The English Championship isn't the only super competitive second tier in Europe. The Spanish Segunda got it also including some entertainment and highly technically proficient football.

Igbekeme's Zaragoza lost 4-2 at home to a side battling to stay above relegation waters. The other day, Nwakali's Huesca fell to last placed Racing Santander. Such is the competitiveness and excitement of the Segunda.
This means with two games to go, Nwakali's Huesca still sit in 2nd place (one of the two automatic promotion spots). Cadiz in 1st has already confirmed their automatic promotion to La Liga.

Question is who joins them next in the other automatic slot and through the playoffs slot.


Zaragoza go away to Albacete in their next game. Huesca hosts Numancia next.

Almeria has a game in hand and will play Rayo Vallecano Monday.

Time will tell if Nwakali's Huesca hangs on to grab the other automatic slot. After the 2nd place slot is sorted, the playoffs between 3rd to 6th will take place to reveal the third team that will be promoted. Hopefully, Igbekeme's Zaragoza makes it through the playoffs coz I don't see how they will grab the second automatic slot anymore.

But yeah... In time we will know for sure.

Nwakali has not done enough to get regular play time with the team even though they're in the 2nd division, what guarantee is there that he'd get to play if his team gets promoted? I have a feeling all he's ever gonna get is a loan deal back to the 2nd division.

He has to do a lot more to win my attention.

Time will tell. He has featured three times for them since his return to action and has been decent each time. They had a chance to loan him out to the third tier but they didn't. They kept him and have included him in every matchday squad since the restart.

And the majority of these Leicester fans ask exactly the same question I asked earlier. Bring on Praet for what??!! To help who?? An Ndidi and Tielemans who had the game in midfield under lock and keys?? They didn't need any bloody help. They were bossing the game through and through.

I am glad these fans see how really silly Rodgers was in taking Nacho off. The man's pride won't let him admit his blunder.

He will get to play. From what i read, he will be given one season to prove himself. They have 38 matches or more next season. They will need him. Its too early to judge him and huesca does not have money to buy players anyhow. If he does not play well next season then thats when they can dispose of him but for now he has a chance

According to Fussball transfers: Paul Omo Mukairu on the radar of Werder Bremen and a few more.

https://www.fussballtransfers.com/amp5568798277482560483-leihe-plus-kaufoption-werder-umgarnt-mukairu


From Voetbalzone:
Feyenoord and PSV are among the candidates for Paul Omo Mukairu. Antalyaspor's Nigerian forward, a striker and wing attacker, is also coveted by Werder Bremen, RB Leipzig, Club Brugge and KRC Genk. (Fussball Transfers)






From Fussballtransfers(dot)com:
***As translated***

Paul Mukairu from the Turkish first division club Antalyaspor has been targeted by Werder Bremen. As FT learned, the Bundesliga club can very well imagine a commitment of the highly talented 20-year-old offensive man.

Mukairu can act in the storm center, behind a tip and on both outer lanes. The right foot is fast, dribble strong and has a tight shot. Only the coldness in front of the gate still lacks some talent. He scored four goals in 31 competitive games.

According to FT information, a loan with an option to buy is possible. But Werder is far from alone in his interest. Feyenoord Rotterdam, KRC Genk and FC Bruges also stretched out their feelers.

Mukairu as a Rashica replacement?

In Bremen, Mukairu could close the gap that Milot Rashica is expected to leave. Although the young Nigerian does not yet pose much of a goal, the potential is undisputed.

Mukairu would definitely fit into the new concept. The green-whites want to make the squad younger and more dynamic. "We want a young, developable team, we need fast, athletic and creative players," said Frank Baumann last. Mukairu, which is bound to Antalyaspor until 2024, would be an adequate candidate.

Klop has created a winning tradition. Sacking him will be a serious mistake. You don't change a winning team or coach. They CANNOT sack klop because the management is not stupid. He has imparted his philosophy on the club and as for me he should stay for another 5 years and totally establish a winning dynamic.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Mind you I'm not a Liverpool fan.
Other clubs will wonder at Liverpool's stupidity if he is sacked

Unpopular Opinion: Cyril Dessers is not just our best striker but our most complete forward.

13% of his shots come from outside the box, high for a striker. He's scored two goals from outside the box from just 11 shots.

40% of his shots come with his left foot, 47% with his right foot. Ambipedal.

5 of his 14 non-pk Goals came from his 'weaker' left foot, 8 from his right foot. Clinical with both feet.

Except when his shots are blocked, Dessers hits the target 66.67% times.

He scored in both games against Dutch Champions, Ajax.
