netmillionaires:

bro I no fit argue... Go watch the CAF matches again and see for yourself... Mikel coordinate the midfield and also provide assists? Go watch the maches again... Go check Moses and Emenike contribution to their club before the AFCON and compare it to Mikel's contribution to Chelsea during the same period sef. I was a fan of Mikel during his transfer period from Lyn Oslo. But now? No way... Don't mistake decorations with contribution, effectiveness and efficiency. Even if he assist and d strikers refuse to score, of what use is the assist... There is nothing special about Mikel.

Please tell me among the Nigerian players at the AFCON 2013 who won the most Man of the Match awards. That will tell you who was the best player.

We saw a player we’ve only seen in patches during his time at Chelsea. Robust in a defensive role in front of the back four and imperious on the ball and in his movement, Mikel was the best midfielder on the park in every match he played. That Nigeria so fully deserved their quarterfinal win over Ivory Coast was largely down to him; that the Nigerian attackers had a platform from which to demolish Mali was largely down to him.

That the centre of the park was shut to Burkina Faso’s passing was largely down to him, and Nigeria won the tournament’s showcase match because of it.

There was an array of stars at the 2013 Cup of Nations, and Pitroipa was certainly among them. But Mikel was a supernova. And when he shone, the stars disappeared.

Enough of the detractions.

Iheanacho is a very phenomenal footballer that need to evolve and maintain such status. We need to hype him so that he can believe resolutely on himself for greater achievement, at least players tend to moil and perform to their optimum and apex level when they are hyped, because they don't want to lose such prestige.

When you hype african footballers especially Nigerians, it gets into their... They chase after money instead of the awards, they come to camp anytime and play big boy football. The result you already know, mediocrity and inability to qualify for ordinary AFCON.

LA liga clubs are more successful in Europe than other clubs. when last did the premiership produce world best? who won UCL and Europa last season? who won Europa this season and who's gonna win UCL this season? which league produced the last world best and will produce the next world best? if your answer is LA liga, then my brother u know that LA liga is the best. premiership is just more entertaining that's why it's the most watched.

Learn to appreciate good things so others will appreciate you when you get there. Sarcasm and fault finding don't pay. We shouldn't form the habit of condemning.

And what is wrong in hyping a player who has done well? Would you rather hype a dead wood? He knows that he must strive to better his performance next season, no relaxation in the premier league. When this kid signed for Man City, the armchair analysts in Nigeria concluded his career was over even before it started. I bet he will shame his critics more and more because, his talent is real and he has good handlers.

As for Mikel, you know where he is today - Chelsea. Go and check his stats at Chelsea, maybe you want him to do what you cannot do in your own profession. When you spend 10 seasons at a top club without being told to go, there is something you play for. Mikel is the second most decorated Nigerian player and he achieved all of that on-field, he is one of the most decorated in Africa. Go and match this first.

Sorry to say! This post is senseless and has nothing to do with laliga. Deadliest striker and Man city struggled to make it to next year's EPL, and couldn't make it to ucl final. And do you know that laliga teams have been the one winning both europa and ucl for the past 3 years, not to talk of all Spanish final twice within 3 years. EPL is competitive no doubt but calling some ppl modafkers just so u can Make point like an idiot that you are is way out of hand. So tell this ihenacho, is he an english man. Cos u said smettin abt south america..lets not even go into that.

TheSuperNerd:

Mikel is certainly one of the Africa's top 5 most decorated players of all time (in all of history).

The other four are KANU Nwankwo, Samuel Eto'o fils, Yaya Toure, and Didier Drogba.

If I expand the list to top 10 or top 12 the likes of Bruce Grobbelaar, Finidi George, George Weah, Seydou Keita and more come in.

But KANU still remains Nigeria's most decorated ever.... at least for now. Mikel comes in a very close second.

In Africa, Samuel Eto'o is most decorated followed by KANU Nwankwo. Mikel, Drogba, and Yaya make up that top 5 most decorated in Africa.

Mikel has won 3 league titles,4 FA cups,3 capital one cups,one europa league,one UCL,one nations cup and other minor 2nd place silver trophies frm youth world cups. Can u list Kanu's trophies in the same manner,let's clear this issue?

Re: Iheanacho Named Deadliest Striker In EPL by Stanleywaxy(m): 10:37am On May 21, 2016

TheSuperNerd:

It's "deadliest" Sir.... not "best".

The stats look at ratio of goals per mins (or goals-minutes ratio).

In 752 minutes of EPL action, Nacho scored 8 goals and had 2 or 3 assists. That gives him the 93.88 min for every goal scored you see in the OP's post on the first page (page zero).

Aguero played well over 2000 mins and scored 24 goals.

His ratio is one goal every 98.88 mins while Nacho's is one goal every 93.88 mins.

Now that's lethal.

If you calculate the best goals-mins ratio in Europe for all competitions, Nacho will be ranked in the top 3 deadliest in Europe behind only Luis Suarez and maybe C.Ronaldo.

At a point this season, Nacho's goal rate in Europe (adding EPL, FA cup, League cup, and UCL) was the best just before the real Madrid UCL semis List leg for man city.

So it's not about the best but the deadliest... th comprends? #smiles

Aguero is still the boss in the EPL on an overall level.

But Iheanacho's clinical instincts is just top notch and he can only get better and better (he scored 8 in the EPL alone but in all competitions he scored 14 goals and had 5 assists. Some sites say 7 or 9 assists sef).

Aguero the best... The likes of Kane, Vardy and also Mahrez are up there in the EPL. But the deadliest right now for based on 2015/2016 season is Iheanacho.

Nice one

. Typical manutd fan...smh. How many african players have made it in Manutd? U remember Eric Djemba Djemba?Mame diouf? wat abt Manucho? Dat great Angolan talent and nations cup top scorer that moved to Manutd? what exactly happened to his career? Even Ghanian-born welbeck,how many years of his life did he waste at Manutd b4 being dumped to Arsenal,where he isn't even in d first team? Is this what u would have wished for Mikel? Even a more talented JayJay didn't achieve half of what Mikel has achieved and is still achieving at chelsea. Everyday Mikel dis,Mikel dat,have u asked urself y always Mikel? what happened to Isaac Promise,Onyekachi Apam,Taiye Taiwo,chrisanthus Macauley,Rabiu Ibrahim,Chinedu Ogbuike?U kno what happened to them?they took advices frm armchair analysts like u and ended up in d wrong clubs.Even Ahmed Musa,as talented as he is,is in d wrong club,n won't achieve much there.He is geting older n hasn't won much. Beta pray that the God that intervened in Mikel's career by driving him frm Manutd,where he would have been continuously loaned to lower leagues and eventually released of his contract,let that God that changed his story be there for u too when u are on the verge of making a big big mistake.
