Check the right hand side of the image below to see sofascore's summary of Kelechi Nwakali's passes stats.
For all who are following. This is just for the 2 games in the Portugese league

Back to you Sir, did you only mean for 2 matches when you said this;

I am currently running the profiles of midfielders that can give you at least 1.8 to 2 accurate crosses per game.

I can only find two names for now:
Kelechi Nwakali
Kevin De Bruyne.

Is 2 games not enough for you.
The consistency for two games is something to hold on to.

What made you believe he won't perform even better.

Nwakali is a very good player. He has been unlucky so far!
Anytime I watch him play I marvel. Just watch his game against Athletico Madrid!

Chaves provides him the opportunity to showcase his extra ordinary talent and he will and get that move to higher things.
Better late then never. Look at Akpom now!

So we compare every Tom, Dick and Harry with KDB with just TWO games!

Gentleman, it is enough for all of us here that Nwakali is on the trajectory upwards. It's for our own good

All these intellectually indefensible positions y'all want to bring up won't fly at all. Na pollution be all this na

Which other midfielder has shown that level of consistency in crosses of the ball for two games. I can only read Nwakali and De Bruyne. If you know of any other, please tell.

Gets an assist nonetheless. Rangers 1-0.

This Dessers second assist was why I once rated him Kane-esque quality.

Not many strikers in world football today can bend a pass like this.

I know a lot of people would find it hard to believe but Dessers is just a poor man's Kane. On the same level as prime Harry Kane.

Doing a thing more than once is consistency.
It shows that there is already a model, a pattern repeating itself.
It is no longer coincidence or random event.

If you were sincere, you'd have use his Laliga 2 stats as a buttress.

Again, 2 games is nothing concrete if you're talking consistency. Don't insult our intelligence.

I don't think it is hate bro,

Thing is his mates had left him behind since from the U17 days, he should be playing for big teams by now, but that was not to be, not because of injuries,

And people here will watch one of his game, will started praising him, which is expected, but, they did so usually by comparison, and belittling players that had been doing it every match day, and in big Clubs too

An Example is this Anmrabat abi what's his name again, Can you honestly compare Kelechi with himhuh
I'm not comparing anybody with anybody, but I know hate when I see it. Some people here are even getting their orgasms from matches where he performs badly, if he does... Why? But what do I know? Make una kwantinue 🚶🏾‍♂️

I've never seen hate on a person (not just a player) in my entire life, like what I've seen against Nwakali on this thread before. I joined this thread 2021 and since then till now, some people are still turning up the knob of hatred on the young man. I came across his goal vs. Athletico Madrid (2018) on YouTube. I gats read the name for him shirt twice say no be this guy wey everybody for Nigeria hate be this? I no just know where the hate dey come from and who dey fuel am (even as fuel don cost). Omo 🤦🏾‍♂️

And some people are hiding behind the mask of analysis. Okay o 🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️
To the bolded

Some person are hating just to get to some people .. If You know You know

Which is more sincere?
A. Presenting his Laliga 2 stats
B. Presenting his stats at a higher and more competitive league.

You said: 2 games is nothing concrete if you are talking consistency
I want you to know that doing something more than once is enough evidence to deduce a pattern, a pattern that ensures continuity.
Delivering two accurate crosses per game for two games is enough to establish the knowledge that Kelechi Nwakali can deliver crosses of the ball.

Fact,Nwakili is doing it in division one,yes poor wages but better than segunda,a good step.
If you look beyond the superficial, then you my ay see it's not necessarily a step up.

The Portuguese league has a huge gulf between the top 6/7 clubs and the bottom 4/5 clubs. The bottom clubs without prejudice will struggle in English League two. Again without Prejudice Enyimba will flog and leave in the dust Chavez FC.

Is it better to be in Southampton in the Championship average income £34k a week or the Portuguese Premier league with Chavez FC average weekly income £1.5k .

Where do your think if you perform you are most likely to get better recognition and valued appreciation ❓

We can't deny that batter players cost money and if your average weekly salary is £1.5k you are surrounded by carpenters and poor quality players. You are not going to get noticed.

Have a think about it , consider the income average of Ponferradina and that of Chavez FC. Shockingly Ponferradina is actually higher. It looks like a move from one level of mediocrity to another. Nothing to be commended here IMO.

Nwakali is a talent that is universally agreed on this thread but he needs to fulfill that potential before hyping him to high heavens.

Akor Adams has scored in two games now for his club in France does that now mean he's world class? Of course not! At best he's a prospect who will get better at worst he's going through a purple patch.

I'm happy for Kelechi that he's getting game time in a decent European league but he will have to do a lot more to convince me he's the missing piece in the midfield of the SE.

Truth be told if we had two or three half decent CMs playing in various top five European clubs Nwakali's name wouldn't frequently come up in conversations here.
