The one my ancestors played in qualified for the World Cup with Avery joes

Barryseal:
He's Nigerian but Nigeria is not entitled to his talent. He is being developed by another nation, they must always have that right of first refusal.
It's like a sperm donor claiming ownership of a kid he birthed instead of the foster parents who did the actual parenting and raised the child.
The English reserves the right to first refusal. Go to our ghettos, you will see madly talented kids better than this guy who have no access to proper facilities, coaching and academy. The job of the NFA is to create an eco system to birth these talents.

Ok sir you win sir. Back to soccer. Do you know the time of the first game against Algeria.

IDENNAA:
He looks mixed which means if he turns out right he will never play for Nigeria unless if he is crap like Aribo and the likes....sorry , guys but I had to point it out. We are always left with the rejects

TheGoodJoe:

I am not exonerating Ndidi in any way but that was a difficult position his teammates put him under. For a midfielder they know is limited in the passing/ball-playing game, that is no situation he should be under.

By the way, even a limitation in an area does not necessarily mean he can not be used in an effective way. He is an excellent play breaker. With the right positioning and good movements of his teammates, Ndidi can easily connect with them with some simple fast passing system.

In this case, I insist that the coaching crew and Evans take major blame. Not saying Ndidi could not have salvaged the situation with some invention.

Well, I opted for Awaziem because of familiarity.

mostob:
This list wear cinch belt...

Onyekuru is a surprised inclusion..his slot should have been given to a midfielder though. Even Peter olayinka or Yira Sor woukd have been a better idea.

I'm surprised Aribo missed out and I'm not surprised at the same time.

As for the defence and goalkeeping, may God help us. The only positive there is the return of Akpors.

Omanambala:
I like Awoniyi and I think he is more technical than Osim but he needs to work on his finishing.

TheGoodJoe:
Kelechi Nwakali has my full support. Proud of the young man working his way up. I believe he is going to shock the world and make many who wish him well proud.

Keep shining young man. Effort releases its reward when you refuse to quit.

TheSuperNerd:
No my good man, it is very much in context with your reply.

You were stressing Ndidi's 81% passing accuracy in the opposition half after 5 EPL games as proof that he is an accomplished ball passer and I brought the breakdown to show you that it doesn't depict such. Simple. Ndidi's passing range is limited. That is the Truth.

TheGoodJoe:
Who let the MONSTER out? This was phenomenal.

To the best of my knowledge, Ndidi started as a central defender. Maybe, he is being played off position.

TheLoneCitizen:
Those numbers aren't impressive, brother. Regular stats for any average defender against a good team.

If he got those as a DM, then they became eye-catching.

hatakekakashi:
Exactly. Most of those passes are between him and his CB patner, that's why he has 90% pass accuracy.

Meliforme:
Stats says otherwise. Ndidi has good numbers in accuracy of passes whether as a CD or DM.
It should interest you that Ndidi's percentage of accurate passes in the opposition's half is at 81% and that is astonishing for someone reputed as being a poor passer of the ball.

TheSuperNerd:
Below is a Breakdown of Ndidi's pass-types this season so far.. 81% passes in the opposition half is the whole picture but the wrong perspective. Sofascore didn't tell you how many are forward or backward or sideway passes.

According to Squawka using Opta data, we have:

Forward passes - 69
Backward passes - 30
Sideway passes - 162.


Also, Ndidi has completed 230 passes this 22/23 EPL season so far... only 2 are long passes.

Short passes - 228
Long passes - 2

Zero Through balls. Zero lines-breaking. Non-progressives.

I could even compare Ndidi's best season (20/21) to a random MF like let's say Idrissa Gueye also in 2020/21 and the passing Stats will not be funny.

hatakekakashi:
Exactly. Most of those passes are between him and his CB patner, that's why he has 90% pass accuracy.

zicky:
I don't really understand this latest campaign against Ndidi, waa yesterday the first time he's playing as a make shift cb for Leicester. All of a sudden Ndidi is now the reason Nigeria don't play well. Some people are trying to push a narrative to portray Ndidi as not good in his role as a dm anymore.

Joebie:
So how does K. Nwakali rank so far?

7th (joint) in accurate passes per game
3rd (joint) in accurate long balls per game
27th (joint) in key passes per game

Counter attacking threat.
Creating scoring chances for others is now on the increase, as evidenced in his key passes per game, and attempts at crossing the ball, unlike before.

I love the way Ejuke's game is evolving.
He attempted 2 crosses of the ball, this is something i kept longing for in his games.

Also this is the first time, I have seen Ejuke take corner kicks.

Samueltemi337:
I don't think osimhen has ever started any game against Juventus before


The one he came from the bench he won a penalty in that match


I think he also won a penalty against inter Milan last season (I might be wrong)


Also won a penalty against Barcelona


His first serie a goal was against Atalanta


He scored two goals against Leicester city


And he has a goal against Lazio

TheLoneCitizen:
That brother's gone.

Danielnino00:
Awazeim's talent isn't in doubt.. However,it appears he isn't so keen on staying at one club. I may be wrong,but it looks like a lack of ambition...For somebody that played in the Portuguese,Spanish and French top tier, moving to Croatia isn't a good move... These kind of frequent loan moves aren't good for a player development..
