The characteristics that made Iheanacho so deadly is his invisibility around 18yrd box and the fact that opposing defenders don't consider him a big threat. He snicks up on them and within splits of seconds and the ball is on his left and the scoring chance is like 30% , of that 30% he is 80% sure to put it in the net. Iheanacho is quite a unique player in the sense that he is not your typical traditional striker , not physically imposing , not a great ball holder and his skill set is pretty much basic. However, his two deadliest abilities are the fact that he can create scoring chances and near perfect goal scoring ability.


if you say iheanacho is basic then why aren't you a footballer

if you can't call sterling, g.jesus, morata e.t.c. basic then never call any Nigerian striker basic...

Kelechi Iheanacho was named Official Man of the Match again.

In his last 14 games in all comps, the #14 has not just scored 14 goals but also picked up about 9 MOTM awards for Leicester. Crazy. Badass. Alien Kid. Seniorman Kelz. cool

please post the stat to back up the 9 MOTM for nacho. I want to frame it up and hang it outside for everyone to see. grin

My brother, that Sterling matter also tire me, his true colors has started coming out. So far this season I have watched sterling and he has shown to be just ordinary, no bite, he will gets to opponents boxes and loss focus, etc.

I have never rated G.Jesus, it's only Guardiola that rates him highly for reasons best known only to him.

Morata is the worse of them all, watch Juventus matches and you will know that guy is a complete waste. Before he scores a goal, he will have to first miss 4-5 clear chances. It's mostly Chielsa that has helped Juventus this season, alongside Ronaldo

They have been better than Arsenal for the past 5 seasons or so.
They last won the league compared to arsenal, they also last appeared in UCL compared to arsenal.
What else do you need to rate them recently bigger than Arsenal as I earlier stated?
well the superleague don't agree with you bro. They chose arsenal because it is a big club like city, Chelsea, barca etc.

Arsenal are richer than Leicester and the SL went for the richest clubs and not basically big clubs.
Ajax has achieved more than Arsenal, both in Europe and domestically, that should make them bigger than Arsenal but why weren't they invited by the SL? Simply because they have less money.

But as time goes on, if Leceister continues to qualify for champions league, let's say for 3 straight seasons, they will start earning almost like Arsenal

Kelechi Iheanacho: How has Leicester City striker become so prolific?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56896457

Here's a BBC article on the Seniorman. Things we love to see.


The didn't even say what has really made him prolific, which is game time, more gametime more goals, if barnes and Madison hadn't been injured, would Rodgers have tweaked the formation to suit him.

And just read the comments some of this English fans are deluded calling him bang average cos he has 36 premier league goals in 6 seasons

Did you call Sterling basic? how about mane? they're both having the same season, a bad one for that matter. what's your point? I think Pep's greatest ability is to build a team that has everyone playing at a top level without having a very important player. abeg make una dey try watch well, talk well too. a bad season is a bad season.

Arsenal has a huge fan base first of all (biggest criteria, they can fill up a stadium). Also, they're one of the wealthiest. the super league is all about money, why else will arsenal not be there?

Pls include Samson Siasia...go and watch Siasia goal against Argentina(US 94)his goal against Senegal(Senegal 92)his goal against South Africa and world class assist to Rashidi Yekini against South Africa(94 WC qualify match).

Samson Siasia was highly underrated cos I will pick him over Kanu anytime any day when we talk of Super eagles most intelligent player.

Those who watched Siasia between 1985 to 1994 would understand my point.



Just to be honest, I didn't watch Siasia play at all. but how will only you in the whole world rate Siasia ahead of KANU!! even in the SE shirt? Siasia would have been a team player more than a star player, and your rating na by the kind goals wey him score and the opponent Lol.

Thanks for this timely reminder My Good man. To be honest, I was actually following that game but left it off at 2-2. I was heading home from work and forgot totally about Olawale and Ra'anana.

Lad has been a revelation for Ra'anana in Israel. I will do the needful. Cheers. wink

Arsenal won’t crash out at the ucl like Leicester did ? A team kicked out a good Sevilla side and where beaten by Atlético Madrid

Arsenal in the ucl will be kicked out at the group stage let alone meeting teams like Sevilla in the next round
