Finally,

@bolded... this is pure rubbish. I have always analysed Ndidi and even defended his qualities overtime but I have also come to accept with time and after enough and satisfied observation stretching 5-6 seasons that Ndidi has really got a ball-playing flaw which impedes his evolution into an elite well rounded CDM.

And my analyses and use of those words, "Ball playing", "Destroyer DM" and much more have since dropped and been used here and on twitter before Squawka released those tackles rankings.

So abeg... find something more cogent to say.

DM Pass DM. Understand what TheGoodJoe is teaching you. Danke!

TheBadJoe and TheBadNerd grin grin grin

Ndidi is already an elite DM he does not need your acknowledgement grin grin grin grin

Elite defensively. Yes. I am the first person to let anyone know that Ndidi is a defensive actions Monster.

But he's unfortunately underpar in the Ball-playing aspects of the same role and this is a huge feature of the Best and the finest well-rounded CDMs on the planet today. Kimmich, Rodri, Casemiro, Busquets, Fabinho, just to mention a few.

So defensively Elite but Ballplaying-ly Poor.

Just the truth.

The Real truth. Little wonder no Elite club is looking at him just yet.

Even Moises Caicedo of Brighton could make the jump to an Elite side before Ndidi if care isn't taken. Lad is rising fast.

The Truth stares you in the face. .

In Samson Tijani, Raphael Onyedika and other CDM talents breaking through from our youth sides or through academies home or abroad, I expect to see Ndidi Upgrades. CDMs who can actually use the ball.

The Truth.

Rodgers should not think he is deceiving anyone. Iheanacho played in a one-man attack system for Manchester City and succeeded. He thinks pairing Iheanacho upfront will exonerate him that Iheanacho can not play in a one-man system.

Let him give Iheanacho a run of games in a one-man system and let us see if he will not perform.

Please help me send an email to with a hot slap in it. He is a jonezing man.

you've forgotten Leicester City won Premier League some years ago and recently won FA Cup and community shield...

Leicester City is an Elite club that has to compete with Liverpool, Man. City, Man. United, Chelsea, Tottenham , Arsenal for top 4 or top 6 and even now Newcastle United is also becoming an Elite club...

according to the NFF , Nigerian coaches and some people on this thread.... those guys are too young to get call-up invitation...

because if the NFF had sense they would have told Eguavoen to invite them for AFCON...

Bruv, you digressing. My point stands.

Meanwhile the likes of Onyedika aren't far off for invites at all. Gavi got capped at 17yrs and 2months.
Too young? Look, if you good enough, you are old enough.

Finito.

And nope, no be gods matter today... lol

It's just Lampard testing out a new midfield combo of Iwobi-Onana.

What are you about, brother?

Iwobi and McNeil were the only wingers in the original starting line-up before Tom Davies was replaced by Gray.

I responded based on what I am seeing on my screen bruv. Based on the game's start. Iwobi is obviously in Central Midfield.

And your take was still assumptive by the way.

Bottomline: Iwobi isn't on the wings.

Lol.. concede to what? To assumptive takes?

Mister, All are still assumptions. Davies, Iwobi and Onana are central midfielders as well. Even McNeil can play CM if need be. He is that versatile.
Iwobi has been Everton's best player this season from central midfield. Lampard could have been wanting to try out a 3 man midfield. All still assumptions.

Like I said... I saw the game start and saw Iwobi's position and responded. Finito.

So bottomline... Nope. He isn't playing Winger.

Respect? Who una respect help? Look, I aint bothered about una "nonexistent" respect in here.
But since you are, you should just agree you were wrong about the winger take overall.
Simple.

Now rest bruv.
