Trust me he knows all this and he is taking strides to improve as a scorer. When he said he wanted to give Ancelotti selection migraines this season I believed him die.


Now mark this down, Iwobi will score 10 goals or more in all competitions this season cool

Everything you say l agree with.

However, no matter what he does he will not become better than Richarlison.

Ebere Eze is playing without confidence and he is still gassed about playing in the EPL. In addition he does not have the same freedom when he was at QPR.

Reminds me of when Raheem first started for Liverpool he was so intimidated by the presence of Suarez and Sturridge. Never going for goal always looking to pass the ball, scared of making a mistake.

In that match Eze got fouled more than any other player.

Give him a few weeks of confidence building and he will come good. He just needs one game where he is allowed to express himself freely with confidence and score.


I didn't see him as lacking confidence just maybe that the championship is not as physical as u say. I swear somebody messed and the kid went down grin I mean, there were some tackles that I felt he should have broken free from and kept going.

He is doing good candidate playing the best football of his career his work rate is now FAR BETTER.

However, look at Richarlison the Brazilian, he far far better. When he plays you know a goal is soon coming and he has pace and killer instinct.

To be honest he is just simply BETTER than Iwobi the truth must be said.


Richarlison is better than iwobi nah ,Dat one wetin everybody know

Best of luck to him. They definitely will do great stuff. Nigeria will too. That's the aspect he misses it all. It is way beyond tryna be a supporter of our games. Whatever way, its his decision. I like how he went about it. That earns him respect. But as usual, its way too obvious some intel aint passed across enough or gotten.


They know little about the SE. The Connection should be more than mere heritage. Sadly, that's where it presses full stop for most of them.


Loved his goal today.

There are others considerations.

The minute you as a young player with great potential and promise get an England call the marketing and sports endorsements start to come in.

When Rashford got his England call up his marketing value sky rocketed first endorsements with NIKE was about £2million pounds it's now about £10million annually.

These are MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS, now compare the marketing endorsements from the African continent and Nigeria. Think about that.

I have often said this that if Nigerian born and bred players had an opportunity to play for England would they say NO. I cannot oh, l love Nigeria my country, l can not lie, na for inside naija l go dye, l don't need those Millions of £££ or your passport.

KC is classed as an English homegrown player from Manchester city ( FIFA rules) l wonder if he had the opportunity to change allegiance and play for England.

Do you think he will say NO, honestly speaking❓ ❓

The Championship is more physical than the EPL and the referring in the EPL is much better.

And intelligent players now play for the fowl it is now sadly a part of the game. He would probably not get those fouls in the Championship so he will not play for them.

Thi weekend games confirmed the EPL beyond all doubt as the most competitive league in the World.

Imagine Liverpool getting flogged by Villa and Manchester United getting violated by Tottenham and Leicester getting ripped by West Ham.

Fulham got beat by Wolves, but the perfomance was much more promising.

Ademola looked like a lion released from the cage, on the few minutes he played he was on Fire.

Fulham need another quality striker and forward player.

The team plays very good quality on the deck football but they have no killer edge, pretty football will not save you they need goals.

You have your pre- conceived negative notions.

Irrespective of the very simplistic explanations, you are talking about Grujic I am talking about Marko. You still remain in your unwavering negative fixation with a notion that comes from your own deep seated prejudice.

And you cannot get beyond that you and quite a few other.

You ABSOLUTELY can think what you like , I am not in the least perturbed.

What my relationship with Liverpool fc is you will NEVER KNOW or the other clubs in England for that matter.

Why it's ludicrous to recognition on a faceless forum.

From what I see, the dude really likes Nigeria, unlike some of our fake citizens there. But see, no matter what Intel is passed or not passed, an England call up is irresistible. If he really rejected it at first, then a standing ovation for him. Players literally throw parties to celebrate a national call-up for a team as England.
You may be right, but still does not mean they have the necessary intel on the SE, enough to weigh and decide if we are going to do great things in coming years. He's a fan of our games, but its obvious that's where his knowledge stops.


Overall, he went for the more marketable team in his opinion. But to reason na only England go do great things.. Lol


Well as Pinnick said.. Pedestal done finish, na ground remain.

Tottenham beating man united at old trafford is not surprising but the 6-1 is surprising

Why mentioning fulham when they didnt even steal a point ? but you acted blind when huesca steal point from valencia and ATM in laliga ?

What did you said about newly promoted cadiv beating bilbao at home as its just like fulham beating everton at home grin

You acted blind also when bayern was trashed by hoffeinhem? what about ac millan be trashed by 5 goals by atlanta

Even if he acquired British passport he was ineligible to play for England as a home grown player, because he moved there as a teenager. UK has new rules regarding that.

Nice one on bringing the aspect of the more marketable team to the fore. It can be a decider for some. But we both know that is not what decides choices for National team. Glory, fame, being a star, getting numbers and caps, that supersedes your point. We both know that. Tomori and Abraham have the market but if they don't kick ball again, the regrets will flourish. That's the truth.

Not that the SE is easy to waltz in to as opined by some, but its easier to get all what a player wants with the SE than with a team that is so loaded and star studded like England right now.


As for if Naija borns will wana grab opportunity, let's be more realistic. Performance isnt really top guage for the English team. No one has a starters shirt fully assured except in the attack option right now. So once again, its about getting consistent caps and winning laurels. Well i know you know that already. So I'll leave that.


KC change Allegiance? When he's worshipped like a god in Naija? See the welcome given Iwobi which till date, he affirms amazes and shook him to the core. The love the SE gives their players is way way bigger than the love the English will ever give their top stars. That's a big fact out there. That is also a difference.




In conclusion, Its not just about the money, its also about the Glory.

The Italian FA itself is bound by law to obey the government..

The FA don't care what the govt says, they've got a brain of theirs. It's nonsensical, refusing to play a match after just 2 positive cases.

The FA to an extent has autonomy.
