Impressive Victor Moses Bags Assist In Chelsea Win Over Hull City



Chelsea extended their advantage at the top of the Premier League standings following a routine 2-0 victory over Hull City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.


The Tigers were solid defensively and didn’t concede until the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time when Diego Costa netted his 15th goal of the season, with Nigeria star Victor Moses providing the assist.


Though Chelsea were not at their very best, they managed to score a second goal in the 81st minute through Gary Cahill.


Cesc Fabregas crossed the ball into the box from a free kick, and the England defender headed home from a couple of yards.


Moses, who made his 21st appearance of the season, played the full game, while youngsters Ola Aina, Fikayo Tomori and Dominic Solanke did not make the Blues squad.


Following the win, Chelsea have 55 points in the kitty after 22 rounds, eight more than nearest challengers Arsenal.

Kelechi Iheanacho Should Be Loaned Out To A Premier League Club – Jack Heale



Kelechi Iheancho has had a quick rise to fame at Manchester City beginning with his promotion to the first team from the academy back in the 2015/16 season.


He quickly established himself as a fans favorite under the reigns of Pelligrini with scoring the winner at Crystal Palace to sustain City’s five-game winning streak at the time in the Premier League.


From then he scored a further 13 goals in all competitions reflecting his impressive season imposing a threat to defences amongst the league’s best.


The 20-year-old Nigerian has recently fallen to third choice striker under Guardiola with the arrival of Brazilian wonder kid Gabriel Jesus whose flair and intelligence thrills the City faithful who are immensely excited to have him at their disposal.


Kelechi has only had a handful of starts this season and even with a return of six goals Pep still evidently lacks faith in the forward reflected by his lack of appearances during Aguero’s four-game suspension in which Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne, both unnatural strikers, were preferred for the position.


He has recently won Africa’s most promising player to partner his clinical finishing and sharpness within the box.


However there is still a lot to learn for the young forward with his technical ability such as first touch and dribbling needing improvement for him to a become the much more complete attacker.


Not only this, his off the ball intelligence to make logical runs in behind and when to press the opposition’s back line and when not to needs work but the majority of his weaknesses can be learned however it will take time for this progression to occur.


With him having the goal scoring prowess and ability to be scoring at least 15 goals a season if he was provided first team opportunities.


The player with the best goal to minute’s ratio in Premier League history, only the Argentinian ace comes close with a goal every 107.1 minutes in comparison to Kelechi’s goal every 95.7 minutes, would love the chance to be finding the net for a mid-table side.


Week in week football is needed to enhance his growth as a player, and a relegation threatened team might become the answer. He may become an integral part in their survival for the remainder of the campaign returning to City as a more complete forward.

I recall when TheGoodJoe was arguing with me that this guy was better than Karo Etebo.

Icon4s:


You as a City fan, do you think it would be of the club's best interest to let Aguero go?. Forget about ur desire for Iheanacho to fill that position.

Icon4s:


Please put 'hopefully' in front of that sentence.

My broda like I have told you forget all this drill shit.....I read for exams expecting to write for 30mins and u gave me 6 mins,HOW D HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO PASS...if nacho was quadiola's favourite,he would be playing...who was busquets when yaya was playing at barca.??abi yaya didn't get ur so called DRILLING??if he didn't,hw come he is playing nw?....be truthfull for once,ur coach has preferance simple!!!

Icon4s:


Hmmm.. nice contribution. Your head dey their.

Iheanacho should keep working hard at City. If we want to see that future 'world beater' tag that we have placed on him it should start from where he is now. Did Messi or Ronaldo go on any loan spell because of lack of game time when they were 20years olds. At 20 Messi was already running down defenses at the Spanish league and also at 20 Ronaldo was already making the heads in the EPL. Iheanacho has come of age. Going by our earlier expectations on the boy he should be a regular at City by now.

BascoVanVeli:


Oga Messi and Ronaldo at the time had coaches that wrapped their hands around them and ensured they made it. Iwobi has that now with Wenger. We have to remember that Pep knew Messi when he was just a boy. I am not in a rush to loan him out but we have to be honest, if Athletico or Dortmond sell their strikers then he should consider one of them. Iheanacho is young and has time but we have football to play and we need the best players. Him leaving Man city right now would be more of an escape, this their season could be bad for him. Right now we run the risk of him blaming himself for their bad runs, which is complete rubbish.

tbaba1234:


No one is saying, he should leave City. He should give himself a fighting chance and sometimes going on loan might be the platform.. A confident Kelechi will always score goals. Once, a coach does not trust you, it is difficult to do anything. He needs a place where the manager will trust him and give him more freedom.

Lukaku had to leave Chelsea on loan before his talents were recognized. He could have stayed there, warming the bench for Drogba and Costa.

TheGoodJoe:


You make it look like Yaya was the midfield king of Barca before the arrival of Pep. It was Edmilson. When Pep took over Barca, Yaya was not a big player. Seydou Keita was even bigger than Yaya. It was easy to slot in Busquets because Busquets worked in the academy with Guardiola. He understood Guardiola’s philosophy and than others.

Aguero is one of the best strikers in the history of the EPL. Dropping him for Nacho was never going to be an easy task. Also, remember Aguero played in Spain. So he understands a lot of Spanish football.

Good,which brings us to d same question,must nacho play under guadiola??must he drill to death cause guadiola is d coach??....if you truly want nacho to grow,you won't say all this

Mickael2:


Baba, where did you get that from?! Let me make it simple for you, Yaya Toure went from starting the 2008 champions league final to warming the bench for Busquets, so I ask is it that he stopped responding to Pep's drills after that 08 final or what exactly? Toure was one of the top dogs, a versatile player. I know he started a lot of games as a CB so that Barca could effectively switch to a 3-4-3 with Abidal falling into the 3rd CB slot, so I don't know where you got the impression that Toure wasn't important

TheGoodJoe:


If I truly want Nacho to grow. That is hilarious.

Let me give you a brief history. Before Nacho joined City, I was one of those rooting for him to go there. I believed it was the right environment with the right challenge to grow. I also believed working with Pellegrini will make him improve too. I knew Jovetic, Silva, Nasri and Yaya Toure were monumental for Nacho to get playing time in midfield. Back then Nacho was a midfielder.

I watched the young man grow at City and I still believe that was a better option than Porto.

So know that, Nacho's growth is not just important to me but to Manchester City.

TheGoodJoe:


Assumptions. You want Iheanacho to leave City because you assume he will blame himself. What about if he lands at a club where the coach has no time to develop him? Do you know young players suffer when they are in a position where most of the training is not developmental?

What Nacho needs is to work hard and raise his quality. Game time will come.

So out of what i said u found blaming himself as my reason for him going on loan? How about him having a coach who will take it on himself to make Nacho a star? Dortmond and Athletico are top teams with coaches who are leading the way in player development as we speak, all i'm saying to the boy is if they come calling he should listen. Players like Nacho don't get better by playing or training, they are already better than the rest but they need the love of a coach to get them to their potential. That's what Ronaldo and Messi always had.

Mickael2:
TheSuperNerd you don come back? Confirm atleast we now have somebody who can type long replies to TheGoodJoe, most people don tire for am

lol get ur fact right!! busquet started d final also as a midfielder,toure was use bcuz of d non-availability of player through suspension nd toure never played in a tree man back line under pep! it abidal-pique-alves or puyol playing in place of pique or alves

Toure lost his place 2 keita first, nd d later losing it to busquet, just bcuz segie is a good passer of d ball Dan both,he hardly lose possession. it just d same btween thiago nd cesc, pep prefer using thiago in midfield to cesc due to his passing game. it d coach philosophy, he sort 4 d best, who could fit into his game plan.
