Why can't Nwakali run? Too lackadaisical for my liking!

Just share the best of Nwakali, brother. No hate, but not a fan of the overhype.
Nwakali saved alcorcon from relegation last season. In fact, he got the award of player of the month for his club. He was their best player and he was their midfield general. The Spanish site talked about this. I will post the link when I'm less busy.
It was because of this that huesca re called him and he now plays regularly for them

If your definition of a playmaker is "someone that assists and score goals", then you should know that Ejuke is the highest goal scorer for his club, and also on joint top assists.

Playmaking is not even about goals and assists, it is about how pivotal a player involvement is, in attacking and defensive transitions..

According to Wikipedia,
In association football, a playmaker is a player who controls the flow of the team's play, and is often involved in offensively and defensively play passing moves which lead to goals, through their vision, technique, ball control, creativity and passing ability.

You should also realise that a team can have more than one playmaker and a playmaker may not always operate from the central midfield.

Watch some of his showings in this clip, and tell me if he is not playmaking.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBVfWc8Tl0U

From the clip, the following attributes are to be reckoned:
Decision making.
Movements
Passing.

His decision making, movements, and passing that lead to his team's victory against Victor Moses's Spartak Moscow, is not even in the clip.

He is currently the highest rated CSKA Moscow player by Whoscored. He doesn't own that rating for nothing.
Did u read at all what i wrote
I said Andrew meant someone that assist and score goals from the centre and not wings

Bebeto Kelechi Nwakali helped Alcorcon escaped relegation last season with breath taken performances and this season he is on the verge of taken Huesca further down relegation. What a player he is!

Kelechi nwakali is developing nicely in SD huesca and the Spanish second division. I saw his last match and he played well. If he continues like this for a year or two he will make good progress.
The former coach of Watford is his new coach in SD huesca.
He is progressing.
Anyway I hope ished he remained at alcorcon as he was their saviour there but then he is making a lot of progress in SD huesca. As per this afcon I think he should be left alone to develop his career in SD huesca but he should be in contention for the world cup squad.
African home grown talent need a place to develop when they get to Europe and the Spanish second division is a perfect place for him.
y’all have been saying this for a long time now. I know at a point you’ll all agree that no be very youth team stars go eventually turn senior star

Conference League this season.

Chance creation - 14th best
Dribbles completed - 2nd best

Last season was his best, but that's for another day.

Share any instance of Nwakali dominating any as competition with any stat in his entire career, I'll wait.

Mind you Tosin is Lagos born, so none of that foreign-born idiosyncrasy. With all respect.
he plays in the conference league? And you want to compare him with someone playing in Spanish div 2? How?

Europa Conference League not English Conference League.

Tosin has made more starts in a top division this season than Nwakali has in his entire life.

Not to talk of Europe.

Let me be petty tonight. The closest Nwakali has gotten to European football is on television.

He saved them from relegation to DIVISION 3, man, Kehinde qualified Randers to Europe for the first time in their history.

If player of the month is the prize, then Kehinde had two last season in the same minutes as Nwakali.

Now I'm not rubbishing Nwakali as a player, I'm just saying the hype is too much. If the player keeps reading this, how does he grow?

In that same squad was Bamgboye, Lazarus, Anumudu, Chukwueze and Osimhen. The first three have fallen off, the last two have justified their inclusion.

Has Nwakali justified any inclusion?

This is not about what Tosin or Nwakali has done for Nigeria, but who deserves praises here.

But if it comes to what they have done, then know that at the peak of his career at Manchester United, when England wanted to poach him, he dumped them publicly for us.

Nwakali nowadays plays like an Olise or Aribo with zero work rate. It is almost as if he makes bets before games that he is not going to fall throughout the game, so he doesn't tackle, run, or track back.
