I watched him years ago when he played for Manchester City U21 against Liverpool.

He was head and shoulders above Harvey Elliott who played for Liverpool that day.

Football statistics website Whoscored.com has selected its Team of the Week for the latest round of fixtures in the Italian Serie A and French Ligue 1, with two Super Eagles players recognized for their outstanding performances.

Ademola Lookman has been included in the Serie A and Moses Simon in the Ligue 1 Team of the Week after finding the net against Cagliari and FC Lorient respectively.

Lookman broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute when he prodded into an empty net after De Ketelaere burst down the right and rolled the ball across to the Nigeria international.

The 25-year-old has now scored in back-to-back games in the Italian Serie A for the first time since January 2023.

Lookman registered a game-high three shots against Cagliari with two on target, completed the most dribbles with four, made two key passes, won one foul for his team and was accurate in 79.5 percent of his passes.


Simon scored and registered a brace of assists in Nantes' entertaining 5-3 win against Lorient at the Stade de la Beaujoire.


He assisted the goals scored by Matthis Abline and Florent Mollet, before turning from provider to finisher in second half stoppage time.

Simon finished with a game-high three key passes, registered three shots plus one dribble and won one foul

While Lookman was rated at 8.32, Smon had 8.2 and occupied the left side of midfield in a 3-4-3 formation.

I was mad at him when he moved to the Turkish newly promoted team which made me take my eyes off him but his performance since the start of the season hv been jaw dropping

The move is gradually paying off for him and if he continue putting out decent numbers and performances he won’t stay long with the club

I think this season so far he is Nigeria’s highest goal scoring midfielder

Why nobody is talking about the Man of the Match 'Onuachu'? His substitution allowed Fisayo team to stage a comeback! The same Onuachu that couldn't make it in the Championship. So going by Komekn logic, turkey league na farmers league!

Akpabio stadium is a real artistry designed so national stadium can’t meet up no matter the renovations but good to have it back even if it’s for NPFL matches.

charlesemeka85:
I no really fancy Turkish league, I only rate the top 3 clubs which are galatasaray,fenebache and besiktas to a certain extend but with fisayo’s numbers and performances since he moved to Hatayspor from English league 1 he shouldn’t be ignored

If we can follow the progress of Nwakali playing in Chaves we can as well do same to Fisayo who is even better with regards to being his first stint in top tier football. If Nwakali was the one with such performances and goal contribution here for don catch fire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am not saying he should be invited to the super eagles asap but needs to be closely monitored by jpes for the future. For sure if he continues with his superb form better clubs in the league and outside of Turkey will queue up to sign him

The aerial view is doing me one kind. They should just remove that National from it. Build something more modern, latest tech and attractive that befits Lagos State. Urghhhh!

Lagos and infrastructure lately though!!! Eyesore.

Marjoribanks:
Wetin my boy 'Nwakali' do you? 😂 Agreed! Just trying to pull Komekn leg small!

charlesemeka85:
to fight dey hungry me tonight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Players like this u will never see thegoodjoe post their stat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not too long ago performances in the Championship were considered to be poor quality for SE consideration. The name farmers, carpenters league etc, was used generously.

As soon as fans favourite Ndidi plays in the championship 🏆 the goal posts are moved. That's very normal here.

I do think Ndid is learning to play differently and developing a new more attack minded skill set , can he transfer that to the Premier League if they Leicester city, get promoted ❓

On Osimhen's poor weekend outing....

Victor Osimhen... The Monster Machine, I named him.


But over the weekend, he messed up. He blew it.
The one chance to get your team 3 pts and you blow it especially seeing how the team has been labouring through every game.

You miss 2 big chances including a PK. And then you disrespect your coach? Naah, he should be doing better.... Pushing himself harder and Should hold things together now especially after the SuperStardom he hit last season.

He is Nigeria's pride in attack but he should watch it coz we have many other treasures there as well (Boniface, Orban, Awoniyi, Moffi, etc).

He hasn't led us through an Afcon tournament before and CIV 2024 will be his first full tournament as Nigeria's Main Talisman and we would not want him losing his cool like this or blowing chances from the spot when he should be delivering the goods especially when it is most needed.

Osimhen has to understand the balance of calm and passion to enter into his next level of Greatness.


It's not eureka yet for Africa's APOTY-in-waiting.

Tell me one Championship players l praised beyond what can considered over the top, if any .

⚽️🇪🇸 Thiago: "I have that ‘hate modern football’ mentality... I’m more classic in attitude!"

"The No.10 role has almost disappeared. We see less magic, less fantasy. Footballers do more, but faster."

"Players are more developed in every sense… the playmaker who was slower, even if he had sublime technique, doesn’t get the opportunity to turn anymore."

“There's also VAR. I've always been against it and wish it didn’t exist. It takes the essence of the game away from you!"

"We make mistakes when we play. Referees must do so too, as they are human. Without trickery, many famous moments in the history of football would not have happened."

I understand your point nevertheless Osimhen did not blew any clear cut chance. In fact he hardly get any and had to work really hard for one or two unlike his pairs at Barca, City, Bayern etc. The one he struck the post with was even a half chance yet he was able to hit the target. Also, the penalty was good, sent the keeper the wrong way but just unfortunate. He works too hard for a striker of his talent. He presses, runs, marks, defends yet he hardly gets clear cut chances. It can be frustrating!

No opportunity to even turn. The defending is better now that playmakers can't even perform as they used to.

Finito
