Who is even the head of the technical crew? abi Eguavon retained the role??

lbrichman2:



Atleast everyone on this list is a starter for his club
I give you that one

Danielnino00:


Awazeim has earned his spot in the national team ..Maybe not as a starter,but definitely a squad player.. He has mostly delivered when he plays..

What will you say us keeping your pal Okoye in the team now? He is a bench warmer in the championship after all and hasn't shown any indication of securing his spot in the team ..

TheGoodJoe:
If Johnny Evans wanted the ball to go to the other defender, then he should have gone to the Goal keeper to find the defender. But, why are the so spread out in such situation.

So Amateurish.

Which Spanish super cup did he play in?

Ndidi should not let the episode stress him. He can easily fix what Happened and learn from the error.

He should know as DM, do not dwell too long on the ball. Watch, watch, watch. Especially before anyone gives the pass to know if you are under pressure and to make quick passing decision.
He should build his watching and make fast passing decisions.

Ndidi should watch lots of Rodri tapes. Study his quick decisions and he will improve on it.

Brush it off lad. There are more games to prove yourself.

Danielnino00:


Calm down... Lewandowski too is in technical laliga and is scoring freely...

Werner was deadly in the budensliga but struggled in the EPL

The bolded is what Ndidi needs to understand and work on.

Evans was definitely a culprit in the whole fiasco and the entire Leicester set-up in the counterpress was an issue. It is true but it also doesn't exonerate Ndidi's part in that defensive fiasco.

It's better we stay focused on the fact of Ndidi's passing limitations in possession and poor press-resistance coz those have been issues with Ndidi for a while now. Yesterday was bound to happen at some point eventually because his ball-playing has been underpar for too long. This is what we have to admit to ourselves and hope he can work on to some extent.

Several other DMs would still receive that pass from Evans in that position and hit it towards Wout Faes in the other defensive halfspace.
Many other DMs would make cakewalk of that pass and easily switch plays.

Ndidi's underpar Ball-playing and poor awareness in that instant turned a routine pass into a dangerous situation that cost Leicester.

Now even in defensive actions, Ndidi was also found wanting yesterday. Ndidi's a natural ball winner and Midfield warrior but his defensive side failed him yesterday as he lost all his ground duels. He didn't win one. He also didnt make a single successful tackle for 85mins. It was that bad.

Evans definitely has fair share of the blame but Ndidi also holds major shares in the blame and should just look forward to bouncing back from this.



Like I concluded on twitter in my nutshell analysis of Ndidi's display yesterday,

Wilfred Ndidi remains Nigeria's best CDM FOR NOW but IN TIME, his UPGRADE MUST Step in.

Get the context bruv, you can't compare Haaland situation to that of Lewandoski because la liga fans never claimed he will flop due to the technicality of the league. But you EPL fans were everywhere on SM hyping your physical league while predicting doom on his (Haaland) yet to begin stint in the EPL just because he had a terrific miss in the community shield.

The whole world knows Haaland and Lewandoski are two class players that will bang in goals anywhere they go, but EPL fanboys think their physical league will expose them.

andrewbaba44:


This one don change narrative

Lewandowski is one of the greatest player ever and in the past few years many people considered only behind messi and Ronaldo ,nobody will ever say lewandowski won’t score freely in any league so this should not be a point .

As for Haaland 90 percent of epl fan boys said he won’t score freely at the epl ,even you at some point felt Darwin Nunez will outscore him even without kicking the ball yet

Be there thinking Werner situation should have been compared to Haaland own ,one played for Chelsea and one is for mancity.

TheGoodJoe:
These are the takes of some guys on Twitter but I am taking it further. The Leicester team in that position looked a team terrible at Build up play and also unprepared for a team that can lose the ball in midfield.

As for me, the coaching crew takes the blame.

Danielnino00:


The most goals any player has ever scored in a single premier league season (20 teams format ) is 32! Just 32! .. Compared to other leagues..In laliga for instance, Messi scored 50 goals in 37 games! Even serie A that is adjudged to have the toughest defence has had 36 goals scored in a season... So no be by mouth say premier is tough! Some of the world best strikers have played in the premier league...
Make una hold una tities down... There's still plenty of time left for the season to end...

benji93:
Please stop this. It's ok to admit Ndidi is indeed limited in his passing range. Don't put this on the positioning of Leicester players. Both can be true independently and be disastrous together.

TheGoodJoe:
Ndidi is being harshly criticized. Very harshly. John Evans made a terrible pass option. Ndidi was in a sea of Tottenham players and his teammates created no passing lines for him. They got their positioning wrong.

andrewbaba44:


Premier league na mouth,Mohammed salah found football easy in the premier league than anywhere else


Ask yourself who scored 50 in the so called Laliga ,it’s either Messi Ronaldo or suarez ,who else bro ,to score for Laliga no easy ,na prime messi and Ronaldo make am look easy

Even benzema couldn’t score 30 at Laliga ,it took benzema about 10 seasons before he could score 25 league goals in a season

Haaland was scoring for fun in the champions league so I don’t get why some people think he won’t do that at the epl

What should I hold down for a player with 11 goals in 7 games

Omanambala:


They know this. He had all the time in the world to release that ball. Anyways, I was not shocked. If I was a coach a flat footed midfielder would not be starting games for me

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.

Subzero047:


Most premier league players can comfortably pass their way out of this situation
