TheGoodJoe:
Sad Leicester lost but I have to still praise Iheanacho for his brilliant run before the goal. Nacho attacked the space instead of going to the crowded area. With Barnes getting the ball across the packed area, Nacho had room to bury the goal.

I hope we see more of him utilising spaces to get goals and play better for the team.

He is playing better already

Osimhen is like Mbappe – Sochaux coach




Punch Newspapers
Ebenezer Bajela

Former Paris Saint-Germain and Lille attacker, Pierre-Alain Frau, is of the opinion that Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen, has a lot of similarities with France World Cup winner, Kylian Mbappé.

Both players faced off on Sunday in a Ligue 1 clash at the Stade Pierre Mauroy Stadium, with Neymar scoring a brace to send PSG 10 points clear, trailed by Marseille who are on 42 points.

Apart from sharing the same birth month, December, the Sochaux coach believes that the youngsters are enjoyable to watch because of the qualities they possessed on the pitch.

“You tell me about two immense talents, both of them are already young and we have come to see them for a long time, for our happiness,” Frau said to La Voix Du Nord.

“I enjoy watching them. Their big point in common is speed. They are both very fast and make a lot of difference with their calls and their races.

“When they are gone, we no longer catch up with them.

“Osimhen has less fantasy. What strikes me is his generosity, he is very effective. He anticipates trajectories well. He is not a dribbler. He knows how to go to the right areas. LOSC made a big hit because he brought a lot and almost made Pépé forgotten.

“It’s hard to find an attacker who scores with this quality. He needed very little time to adapt; it shows his strength of character. I haven’t read many interviews with him, but he seems to know what he wants. And on the ground his attitudes are very good.”

Osimhen has scored 14 goals in 28 appearances for his club since the beginning of the season, while Mbappe has 21 goals in 24 matches for PSG.

Do Akwa still play "passing-football"?

Yes but it is not as sexy as before. To be fair, even Maikaba never reached the heights of his first season but Akwa maintained a possession based philosophy since then, this is why John Obuh couldn't work.

Heartbreak for Ndidi and Iheanacho

But Demarai Gray is an idiot and Leicester have average wingers

Una just dey notice? That team lacks teamwork. Everyone wants to make a statement instead of putting the ball through for someone much more suitable. Without watching the match, I knew what would take place. That team is built around selfish play. Its a wonder how Kelechi still manages to get goals. And yet they will not try that nonsense when Vardy is leading the line

They trust Vardy better than Iheanacho maybe with the goals Iheanacho scored they would trust him more

All I saw was James Madisson kicking nonsense. Leicester had more of the ball but Villa had the clearer chances.
thank you bro I thought I was the only one that noticed this....for me Leicester didn't play well all they had was possession with very few chances created

European Clubs Rejecting Nigeria U17 Players After Poor Showing At World Youth Championship

Almost six Nigerian players who took part at the recently concluded 2019 U17 World Youth Championship have been turned down by clubs in Europe, Owngoalnigeria.com understands.

The Nigerian team was the toast of scouts before the start of the tournament judging by how well players from the team have progressed in past editions but this time around most scouts admitted that they didn’t see any player worth investing in the Nigerian team.

So far only two of the players have secured deals abroad with captain Samson Tijani set to join Red Bull Salzburg while Olakunle Olusegun has joined Russian Academy ‎side Vista which is the nursery team of Danish side Fremad.

” So far three players of the team are negotiating deals that are more like developmental as they will spend like a year on trials. The rest have been rejected. Yes as many as six were rejected by clubs that I won’t mention”, an agent revealed to Owngoalnigeria.com.

” Beside the fact that the team didn’t do well, the players individually didn’t help themselves. So it has cost them and I won’t be surprise if only two get deals abroad. It’s sad because Nigeria have a pedigree of producing good players at this level”, he concluded.

Can see Finidi George happening, he has spoken often about wanting to coach the golden eaglets. As for Olofinjana, I doubt he would even be interested, he is currently Loans Manager at Wolves and they value him highly there

This news is paining me. The terrible individual defenders that Manu Garba and Ugbade carried and poor defensive coaching really made the whole team look worse than they are. Some really good attackers and decent midfielders in that team

The bolded in your post is what caused the confusion for you, Do4Luv14 and Jimmyiovine.

There is no "and" in that news report.... It is "just as"

They were only making reference to Amuneke when it comes to Spanish football Philosophy. Amuneke clearly has a job in Egypt. It is Finidi that is being considered among a few others and they only mentioend Amuneke as regards the football philosophy they believe Finidi have in common with him.
