hmm really tough question. leaning towards Lewan but the Uruguayan vampire tends to deliver in clutch moments. Overall I will go with Lewandowski cos he's an unrelenting goal scoring machine but his invisible man acts a times especially for Poland concern me.
Well you did say Lewandowski is not the best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo because he hadn't won the Champions League. A national trophy might not be far ahead to clear your doubts

Not needed? How? Even Ancelotti was once seen beckoning to him where to stay while defending. So its definitely needed.
That's Everton. For a team that uses high press, teams like Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea his defensive actions are not needed if it's not in the final third

Do you mean VVD and Bruyne never deserved the award in the first place? cheesy

The koko is, the pundits know better than you hence the reason they nominated the best young players in the EPL for last season. Fortunately and deservingly, Richardlison was rightly omitted because he didn't do anything to prevent his poor Everton from struggling. Unlike, Pulisic who singlehandedly led a team with academy players to finish 4th position on the league table. Now, that is deserving. cheesy
Oga forgiveness you gats find a new word for singlehandedly o cheesy

Pulisic doesn't even defend like Richarlison. Yet Richarlison can recover so fast to be in an attacking position that Pulisic would be before a counter and still impact the attack.

Numberd favour Pulisic tho. But better? Naaaah
While Richarlison has great work rate, his defensive actions are not needed in a team that press. Asides Kovacic, I don't think any other player was more involved in counter attack buildup than Pulisic for Chelsea last season

As a forward Pulisic is a better player

Actually, Children of West African origin have a higher attainment level at university than upper white class children in the UK.

However, as soon as they leave university with with thier higher grade degrees. That graph of high achievment does not have a gradual decline, No. But an immediate flip over and Africa origin children become bottom of the pile.

After 10 years or less the boys with 2:2, 3rd class and let my people go degrees are now your bosses.

This is not subjective assumption but proven established FACT. The lack of and or denial of Black people position in football management. Is absolutely reflective of nearly every sector in the UK with even worse ratios of unrepresentation.

Thats why it's called institutional, systemic racial discrimination. It's similar to tribalism in Nigeria not the same but similar.
I agree that there's systemic racism in the UK and I personally think it has more similarities with tribalism than differences.

Your first paragraph is the question the author was trying to answer. Why do Africans do so well in these situations of sport and academics? is it because we are a superior race with superior genes? of course not

It is more or less the same with the Yoruba's and ibo's doing so well in Uniben and While Edolites do better in Unilag or Uyo but when they graduate they won't get as much opportunities in the state than their peers with origins from the state.

The difference being skin color in the UK (Racism) but your state of origin in Nigeria (Tribalism)

They hardly use 4-4-2 ,and their 4-4-2 richarlison is just like an attacking midfielder there playing a free role ,he is not a striker

Abi no be when Ancelotti come dem begin try 4 4 2
Attacking Midfielder? not really

In the beginning of the season he also played as a lone striker (4-2-3-1) in some matches with Calvert on the bench and when Ancelotti came he played him more as a striker with Calvert in 4-4-2 and not as winger.

Last season he was basically a striker

Work rate, intensity, skills, multiple roles, tracking back and others. Richarlison beats Pulisic well, hands down.

Thank you

At least you can see that I am being fair with my arguement ,I Dey like speak facts

Chilwell that we know is bang average then suddenly he is better than digne

Pulisic has played for bigger teams compared to richarlison who has played for small teams but yet he got more European goals in lesser games

I already said it’s arguable ,I just want to be fair and I don’t want long arguement

They think starting for the Brazilian national team while playing for Everton na moi moi
Digne ahead of chilwell sure

Richarlison ahead of pulisic in LW is no way, be like say you no watch Pulisic well last season, Richarlison is a better goal scorer no doubt but I doubt he will get those numbers in pulisic position if he was playing for Chelsea

Pulisic na hazard 2.0

Leke James frustrated with lack of Super Eagles chance

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EhY1qZXWsAAmxja.jpg

Molde of Norway striker, Leke James said he’s frustrated with the lack of National team invitation despite his good run of form.


The former Chinese based striker has been on a good run of form in the Norwegian topflight, scoring an impressive 27 goals in 47 appearances for his Norwegian side Molde since joining in 2018.


Despite these impressive numbers, Leke James has been consistently overlooked by Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr.


While speaking with popular social media platform NSM on Monday, The Kaduna born striker expressed his disappointment not to have a national team call up despite his goal-scoring form.


"It doesn’t feel really good despite the scoring form, I haven’t been given a chance in the national team.


The 27-year-old also stressed further, that he is still hopeful about his national team dream, but he must continue to work hard for his club.


“But I just take it by faith and keep working hard that hopefully someday I will get a chance,” he said.

-Brila FM




Thank God for Rohr
