I knew Atiku will need a MASSIVE MIRACLE to win this case. THIS IS NIGERIA!

internationalman:
No, he delivers only when he scores.

If he doesn't score he's useless in the match..

I doubt if he's ever won man of the match award without scoring in the match...


He's just a great goal scorer.. Not fun to watch him play

you guys will cry blood when he finally surpasses Ali Diae's record. goal is absolutely everything about football

eni4real:
Please what is Lithuania??

Dembele will score 6 past Lithuania if he get good service from a player like Bernaldo Silva!!!!

LOL, but u celebrate Messi's hatricks against Haiti and Cultural Leonesa

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!send my gift

Timmy301:
Gary lineker was a legendary Forward.
I read is biography last year,
I couldn't stop laughing, very funny and innocent looking.
Tho if it were with this Era of referees, he'd have been booked
Them no get joy.....them Jon Moss, Atkinson, Anthony Taylor even Howard Webb that year sef abi clattenburg

.....and very honest too, around December prior to the time Leicester city won the league, he promised to report on TV naked if Leicester win the league, he funnily did it when it happened.
lol, people like Mike Dean and that young Michael Oliver would have found a way to book him!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Timmy301:
God bless you bro
Proud and rude
Likes of dele Alli, lingaard, Kyle walker etc

yea lot more self, people like Rooney was not humble too, just that he had a colourful career

internationalman:
Hazard has been shown yellow card many times after that incident

exactly, I even thought I didnt read that statement well

jieta:
if not for that ball boy dat refuse to let go of the ball I think hazard would be in line to broke this record

Bro, we aren't talking about just red card o, this man didn't even get a yellow card!

Hazard should have more than 5 yellow cards in his career now.

if it's about red card, Ryan Giggs also never got a red card

anthonyuncle:
such record can never be matched

yes! football has gone beyond that, if you're even extremely gentle, you can be wrongly booked for diving or something

internationalman:
If football were ruled by God, he would be Saint.

honestly, even gentle players like Mata, Kaka and co were booked. Mata has even gotten a red card before

ValCon888:
A record like that can only be held by an English man.
They are the epitome of politness.

are you serious or being sarcastic?? Only very few of them are polite. Many of them are proud

.

DID YOU KNOW

Gary Lineker was incredibly never even booked during his whole career

The former Leicester, Everton, Tottenham and
Barcelona man played 567 matches throughout his career, netting 281 goals.

More amazingly he never got yellow card or red card through out his football career.

Do you think this record can be repeated? for me, absolutely not!


funnily Gary Lineker is also the first and only pundit to be broadcasted on TV with only underwear

Stefaniebo:
I remembered when I was still a corper and they preached that we should sow all our allawee to God. Most of us sow allawee, come dey beg the next day. we trek go CDS tire. I look back now and it's funny to me.

lol, and God didnt repay?

my phone no is 09030691605

lilbest4:
Who is this black short thing calling himself Zlatan? The Zlatan I know is huge and white

There is only one real Zlatan

tbabs10166:
2 & 3 are the problems with most Nigerian players and not just peculiar to ihenacho alone, thats why they hardly develop their career.

I hope Ndidi doesnt become a victim of this

[quote author=tbabs10166 post=81775541][/quote]poor pay? i refuse to agree! you are right about others

thesicilian:
The same England that Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha, Osazee Odemwingie, Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo and a host of other Nigerians all flourished?
You can't always blame the 'pitch' for your failures. The first step to rising up from a fall is to acknowledge your faults and map out the way forward.

its better he moves out of the team, unfortunately the english transfer window has closed, the best thing will be to go and revive his career somewhere else.

oloriooko:
The dude needs a better Manager seem he's short of ideas
Nacho needs to move out of England and he will see his career rise again

my thoughts too, he needs to move out ASAP

The forward was left out by Brendan Rodgers against Sheffield United in what was a huge statement by the Foxes boss regarding the forward’s importance
While all Nigeria supporters have had opinions about Kelechi Iheanacho's decline in recent years, few will disagree that the forward’s stock has fallen in the last few years.

His current status is a far cry from the forward who’d been destined for greatness after breaking out at Manchester City in the summer of 2015 under Manuel Pellegrini. At the end of the 2015/16 campaign, the then-City man had the best goals-to-minutes ratio in the division, and was constantly being compared with prodigious Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford.

While neither have developed as their form from four years ago suggested, the Englishman is, largely, Man United’s main striker while Iheanacho threatens to disappear into oblivion.

When he moved to Leicester City in the summer of 2017 for £25 million, the Foxes took the plunge for the Nigeria international given their belief in his potential and desire to see him move to the next level at Belvoir Drive.

“It’s a great signing for us. Kelechi is an enormously talented player that has shown a huge amount of promise at every level in which he’s played,” then Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare asserted.

“We’ve tracked his progress for some time, so we know how much quality he’ll bring to the squad. He’s young, he’s hungry, he’s ready for the next stage of his development and I’m delighted that will be with Leicester City.”


Manchester City reportedly have a buyback option for the frontman but he, as it stands, doesn’t seem any closer to returning to the Premier League champions. Frankly, the forward isn’t likely to have the top sides in England and Europe lining up to steal him from the East Midlands club if he’s made available for a transfer.

Ostensibly, Iheanacho’s current status at the club is unclear, but his recent omission from last weekend's squad to play Sheffield United at Bramall Lane was damning.

While he hadn’t received any match action in the first two games – against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea – the encounter against the league’s new boys presented the best chance to get his first minutes of the campaign, however, Brendan Rodgers didn’t see the need to involve the 22-year-old in any capacity.

In truth, as regards the player’s chances of playing, the writing was on the wall for Iheanacho after the summer signing of Ayoze Perez from Newcastle United. While the Spanish attacker has been played out wide in his appearances for Rodgers’ troops, the expectation is that the former Magpies man will get the nod at the Nigerian’s expense if the need to rest undisputed number one forward Jamie Vardy does spring up.


Recent comments by Robert Huth regarding the prospect of having the former Man City man lead the line further highlights just how badly he’s valued at the moment.

“With Iheanacho, he hasn’t done it yet [proven to be a capable Vardy replacement], probably doesn’t look like he’s going to either, so I’m surprised they haven’t invested in that,” Huth told BBC Radio 5 Live [via Leicester Mercury].

“Eventually they are going to have to replace Vardy. I’m a little bit surprised they didn’t get in someone to kick him up the backside.”

The Super Eagle has really never got going at the King Power and it’s affected his international involvement as well, with Gernot Rohr omitting him from the final 23 that represented the West African nation at the Africa Cup of Nations. The fact that his inclusion in the provisional squad was met with criticism was additional evidence to his decline in recent years.

Hard to justify Iheanacho's place here. Literally nothing has changed in his situation at Leicester since he was dropped during the last international window.

Has to be last chance saloon for him at this point.

ChristianEast:
I was looking for brown roofs but I didn't see any.

Oga, make sure you reach Ifite in Awka let show our sophisticated brothers how to develop an area nd not littering it with stunted bungalows decorated with brown roof and call it sophistication.

lol, tell OP to show Umudioka, Umuayom, amenyi and Eke awka side as well

SLAP44:
Lies,

this is somewhere in Switzerland.

Stop deceiving people here.

loooolzzz, i know all those places, those are awka (express side)

LongrichPlanet:
No matter how useless Sanchez had become, he can still provide experienced cover at some point during the season. It's a long season and there are several competitions and many matches to play. Letting him go is not the right move

Do you know you can buy and use your everyday products from Longrich but still earn money in the process? Ask me how 08154847880

lol , its right to let him go, at leat we have mighty Jesse Lingard

overrated/hyped city

Raydos:
I'm a barca fan, but I watch man utd match alot,


I still find it difficult to understand why lingard play almost fulltime every match yet he provides no assist, no goal, just runing like a headless chicken

Even if they sell this guy to eyimba Fc, I am very sure he can never be a starter!!

its very obvious the guy has little or no talent, I'm sure he will be one of the reasons Ole will be sacked if he is persistent in using him

Jokerman:
That shows you how man utd have fallen... Imagine a whole man utd, na Lingard dey play 10

English hypers sef

I am telling u, its painful,especially when we see how Bruno is doing well at the moment

I am a manutd fan but I think Lingard na scam, he should be playing for clubs like Burnley

The attacking midfielder hasn't been involved in a goal for his club since last December but his work-rate means he is still a starter at Old Trafford
The half-life of a good performance in the Premier League is mysterious thing.

Some players can leverage a good display into a free ride for quite a while; some barely get the leeway of one poor game before the critics re-emerge.

On that basis, if we look at Manchester United's 2018-19 campaign, the rollercoaster ride that was December is notable for the fact it featured all of Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera's goals and assists from last season.

The only other Premier League player who compares, in terms of enjoying just one truly productive month, is Jordan Henderson, in April, but the Liverpool captain can point to pivotal performances in the Champions League in May, which led to him lifting the trophy in June.

Herrera, of course, has since moved on to Paris Saint-Germain, so that leaves Lingard as the only true one-month wonder in England's top flight.

With that in mind, a torrid evening against Wolves on Monday was badly timed, largely because Monday Night Football lends itself to forensic studies of a player's performance in the Sky Sports studios.

Lingard failed to have a shot or create a chance at Molineux, which is rarely a good look, but he did have the best pass completion rate of any player in United’s midfield or attack.

Subtleties like that, though, may not placate fans reared on raw output, but coaches notice it; coaches notice everything.

Did Jesse Lingard score or assist a PL goal?
