Humility017:
God bless you.
it baffles me whenever I hear man city...when football is being discussed..

is a man city team than a template or a yard stick for knowing good players...?

TheGoodJoe:
I guess you did not watch Manchester City's last two games against Chelsea. You are just advertising that you are arguing what you do not know. We did far better than Tottenham in both games today.

poshemmanuel:
Why are you always backing Ihenacho,? even when is not improving at city

BascoVanVeli:
Trippier is better than any old man that man city can parade right now.

TheGoodJoe:
Na wa. Have you watched Angelino play? It is hilarious saying Trippier is better than Clichy. Shaking my head.

Humility017:
.

just to let you know...I am Chelsea fan.

I watched the EPL first leg match.
but didn't watch the 2nd league due to some engagements.

please compare both matches...to our play with spurs this EPL season
and be true to yourself.
tell me which team played better

TheGoodJoe:
I have no doubt of Nacho's ability but this is a different approach to the game and a different orientation. You are judging Nacho on his exceptional abilities and not judging it from learning a complex art of the game.

The ball is in Nacho's court. If he sees himself getting better like Delph does believe and Nacho believes staying will make him better, why should we oppose it?

BascoVanVeli:
10 times, full back is not about one way traffic. Trippier is a complete back that could be a starter at so many other teams. He is just as good in the back as he is going forward.

TheGoodJoe:
I am telling you and it is a pure fact. We were far better than Tottenham Hotspur in today's in our both games against Chelsea. Courtois was not under pressure throughout today.

TheSuperNerd:
I prefer he stays and learns and plays too

Haba!!!!! is that too much to ask?

TheSuperNerd:
Ehmmmm.... **coughs** Sir Basco... coolu temper.... Trippier is good but ehmmmm.... **scratches head** not better than Clichy abeg.... not even close....

OMANBALA1:
Other than his clinical touch in front of the net what else makes him a stand out striker. Kelechi for instance has an amazing build up play and some mad deft touches that can tear defences apart with a load of skills to top it off. As for Onyekuru,other than his goals I havent seen his complete performance to give adequate critique.
Tell me,does he have the qualities to become a world class ?

Humility017:
LOl...

you guys this season have not scored Chelsea up to 2 goals in a single match..

spurs ended our unbeaten run this season and cancelled courtois clean sheets...in the 1st leg encounter


both EPL matches we played against spurs...this season was tough...
even today..for earlier part of the game...they had more ball possession and create more chances

BascoVanVeli:
Well i'm not changing my mind it is already out there.

Iheanacho is smart.


“He’s been fantastic from day one, knew everybody’s names from day one. I’d say I’ve learnt more in these three weeks than I have throughout my whole career.

“It is a big statement but it is the truth.".. Delph.

He is smart enough to know if he has improved since Guardiola came and if he is learning a lot. If he is getting better, then staying is wise. What is most important is having a top quality player in the near future. If Nacho keeps improving, when he gets his run, he will explode.

TheSuperNerd:
Sir Omanbala1.... I greet you.... lemme do you the honor of answering this question as It seems theGoodJoe is in the ring again.....


Firstly.... I have to point to Onyekuru's pace.... damn! that boy is fast!!

He got pace and energy to burn.

Also he got good tricks in the bag too.... and very good positioning when transiting from his Wing forward role into Central forward positions when on the attack for his team...

Henry also got good eye for the killer pass but is not perfected in that yet... but he has shown improvements...

So My Good Oga.... he can become World class... it is up to him...

OMANBALA1:
So,his strongest qualities are his pace and energy ,which is good but he is more like a winger than a point man. Reminds me of Obafemi Martins a bit who I think never lived up to expectation. Not like I dont wanna give the young man his credits but I am not sold yet. I hope he goes to a better league ,preferably Bundeliga where we can asses him better. And how tall is he? Is he taller than Etebo? I prefer strikers the height of Kelechi.

TheGoodJoe:
Onyekuru is daring and willing to take on players when he wants to. Sometimes even when his teammates are free you see the belief in himself.

One important factor in players performing at a top level is belief. Despite the talent of Onyekuru, he has that deep belief in himself. I just hope he drives himself to work very hard and not slack along the way.

Wish the young man the very best.

TheSuperNerd:
About his height ..... uhmmm.... reason Simon Moses when you talk of Henry... although Henry should be slightly taller than Moses but definitely in the 1.70-1.74m range... lemme confirm.

**Modified**

Well.... almost nailed it...


Moses simon is 1.68m

Henry Onyekuru is 1.75m

They may not be exact in actual measurements but close enough.


So I was right about him being taller than moses Simon

OMANBALA1:
But Moses na short man and I am sorry but I dont fancy short players like Mobi Oparaku,Obafemi,Moses Simon and co.

Lionel Messi?

We will see what he becomes. I just hope its not another flash in the pan like Ighalo and co.

TheSuperNerd:
One more thing... u don't fancy Messi and Dybala?

or even Mohammed Salah?

Well.... I believe you may make an exception someday after all....

OMANBALA1:
Those guys are special talents. If you are gonna be short you better come with something really good to make up for it.
