You were not the only one who watched Iwobi's minutes of brilliance but what happens after all the initial show offs. As soon as Nwakali can play again for se its bye bye to Iwobi. Also , Iwobi cant play central midfield because his work rate leaves very little to be desired. You cant give what you dont have..he might eventually end up in championship league.

In this your preposition you said I quote as soon as nwakali is playing then bye to iwobi and you said he might even end up in championship league ...you really overhyped nwakali and really washed down iwobi with this you actual propose that nwakali is better than iwobi and have a greater future ahead of him than iwobi.

Those trio (eze, aribo and Iwobi) will combine crazy passes among themselves. I prefer that to mazy runs that end unproductive most of the time. e.g players like Ejuke. But it's also good to have Ejuke as an option when we want to switch up play.


You know the funny thing about Ejuke with 'unproductive mazy runs'?

That player has more goal per game than Eze and created more chances per game than Aribo and Iwobi combined.

Yes, very unproductive.

Can you prove anywhere I claimed Nwakali was better ? By the way , I never considered Iwobi a 10, never because he never stamped his authority there. Why ? He doesnt have the skill set for that role.

Sheyi , my brother , calm down and take time to read what people write....you are too in a hurry

I just brought out those post
Wow you preposition are cracking me up iwobi is a a playmaker just like messi ( am not in anyway comparing to messi ) but just comparison of their play pattern and messi can effectively play as AMF just like iwobi is doing I guess you haven't watch iwobi this he was actually playing as CMF this season and he has really done well before you say a player is not good for a position you don't judge the player base on one match.

Are you sure about this?

Statistically, Ejuke trumps everybody there, in terms of productivity, and Ejuke is more of trickery than mazy runs. He is better on the left wing than Iwobi and Eze and he can very much challenge them in the AM position.

Firstly, I never said he does not have end product. The context is on how he combines passes with his teammates. I would like to see a video of his assists.
That said this is my original post, read it again and you may get it this time. Also see how I concluded that show I was talking more about how we play.

“Obviously we’re all disappointed we didn’t get over the line and get in to the play-offs,” he said, reflecting on his time in East Lancashire.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time here, it’s been a great experience, all great lads.
“On a personal level I feel I have had a lot of good performances, shown everyone what I can do, and that’s been great to come here and do so.
“The gaffer has given me a great platform to play my game the way I play. That’s fitted in with how he wants the team to play and he’s been very supportive of that.

“He’s put a lot of faith in me, putting me in the team straight away, and shown me a lot of support.”

Adarabioyo is an ambitious character, keen to play at the highest level possible, and that includes at international level. He has represented England at age group level, from Under-16s to Under-19s, but is available to play for Nigeria should he wish.

And that could well come in to his thinking as he contemplates his international, as well as club, future. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is already on his mind, by which point he will be 25 and moving in to the prime of his career.

He said: “I’m eligible to play for England or Nigeria. I believe I should be going to the next World Cup either with England or Nigeria, that’s my target.”

Earlier this year, Leeds United were said to be monitoring Adarabioyo’s progress, and he could well be a good fit for the newly-promoted side should an Elland Road return for Ben White not be forthcoming.

Adarabioyo’s stats throughout the campaign were impressive, a unique one being that he went through the whole campaign without a single booking, largely down to his excellent positioning.

Infact, he made just 11 fouls across the season, compared with Darragh Lenihan’s 54. He won 30 of his 42 attempted tackles, and 108 of his 155 attempted headers. Added to that were 161 clearances, 64 interceptions and 25 blocks.

What has made Adarabioyo stand-out however, is how comfortable in possession he has been, and without him, Rovers missed his ability to play the ball out from defence, just as much, if not more, than his actual defending.
Of his 1,383 attempted short passes, 1,195 were completed, with an 80 per cent pass completion rate overall.
While for Rovers, another season in the Championship awaits, a Premier League future beckons.

Adarabioyo’s loan deal has proved the benefits, but draw-backs, of the loan system. While Rovers were able to have a high-quality footballer for a price that suited them, and they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, they are now left with a Premier League quality void in the heart of their defence.

Less games for Ejuke. But the context was team chemistry. How his style combines with that of Iwobi and Aribo, not necessarily that he is not productive as an individual player.

Ejuke has better goals to minute ratio, better assists to minute ratio, plays in a better league and against elite teams like Ajax, PSV, Feyenord etc, above all, he has the over all better rating by whoscored
