I've always felt ndidi has been massively underrated..especially by Leicester City fans and the media..they feel he is no where as important as Vardy, madisson etc..they even rate soyunchu more than him...even Rodgers often downplayed his importance..insisting that there are other world class players that can fill in...
Initially, When ndidi, was out injured,the fans were all shouting" Hamza hamza, ", get him on..they felt ndidis injury was the perfectOpportunity for the guy to shine and probably take ndidis place..they always felt they had a like for like replacement in hamza...but the truth is the guy is no where as good..he might be a slightly better passer of the ball but that's all there is to it..
He lacks the technique, energy and positional. Acumen to parade that midfield and intercept passes or break opposition play like ndidi does like ndidi does..
Leicester are shite, without ndidi..the best dm in England..
Against Burnley, who probably are the worst form team in the prem, they were all over the place chasing ghost..vardy, Madison all looked out of sort..the team are missing their GENERAL
.
the best Rodgers can do now is to abandon the 4-1-4-1 formation..until Ndidi returns. And pray he returns on time..Or he might kiss his top 4 hopes good bye..
Leicester can win even without Vardy, but ndidi is THE REASON THEY ALL SCORE GOALS..
with ndidi absent, it is highly unlikely they will make top 4..

Make I no lie I've always prayed for a time like this to come so that they will appreciate the. Guy better..and give him his due respect..
I liked the comment twice.[dnt ask me how grin]

Chinonso "Noni" Madueke made his Official First Team Debut yesterday (Sunday) for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie.
He was subbed in on 73 mins and played 17 minutes completing 4/5 dribbles.

Game ended 1-1. Remember Noni is 17 (Will be 18 in March).
Hope he hasn't played for any other country?

Every team has key players and suffer when they injure. Manchester City have been through hell due to injury of Laporte.

Imagine how tough things will be for Liverpool without Van Dijk. So Leicester City suffering due to Ndidi's injury who is one of the best tacklers and interceptors in Europe today is normal.

I never said it's ABNORMAL..that's not my point.my point is that right now they will begin to see and appreciate him for who he truly is ..the best DM in Europe and the reason they are third in the table..others cannot perform optimally without him..it's his presence that gives them the confidence and freedom to express themselves on the pitch

They were having close games when Wilf was fit also. Obviously they miss Ndidi but they also miss Jamie Vardy's form and a little bit of luck.

Wilfred Ndidi was in the club when things were also tanking. He was a regular when things were bad while Shakespeare and Puel lost their jobs.

So making him the reason for the glory is condescending to the team. They all play their part to the team's success.

They lost a key part of their machine. That is why they are suffering. Not that he is the key.

That is my point.

On Salisu, #JustATot

The SE Asst. Coach has since returned to coaching after he served his ban for the Anas' Bribe scandal reveal.

Salisu Yusuf's journey with Rangers didn't begin so well but recently from their last three games, Salisu's Rangers have won three games on the bounce. That is impressive and his side seem to play a fine brand of football too.

Salisu Yusuf is getting his mojo back at Enugu Rangers.

Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr visited Girondis Bordeaux’s Le Halian training base in France at the weekend to see the duo of Josh Maja and Samuel Kalu, reports Completesports.com.

Rohr, who once played for and managed Bordeaux had a heart warming chat with both players during the visit.

Maja, who has been one of the key performers for Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1 this season has been capped once by Nigeria.


The forward came in as a late substitute in the Super Eagles’ 2-2 friendly draw against Ukraine at the Dnipro Arena last September.

He has been left out of the Nigeria team since then, but looks set to earn a recall from Rohr for the 2022 World Cup and 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.


Kalu, who has struggled to to make impact with Bordeaux this season with just one goal in 16 league appearances is a regular on the international scene for Nigeria.

The winger was part of the Super Eagles’ squad that took third position at the 2019 AFCON finals in Egypt.

He has been linked with a move to German club Hertha Berlin currently coached by Germany great Jurgen Klinsmann.

To all interested persons, especially the guy from Lagos that was asking for infos on screening exercises, I think u should try to keep tabs on Diamond Football Academy, as they are planning a nationwide football tour, open screening for all the 36 states in Nigeria, plus Abuja.

Nigeria should do well to avoid Ivory Coast and South Africa. the rest are beatable


we can meet them at the last stage of qualifiers.

Teams from pot 2 I think we should avoid are CIV and Uganda. I'm comfortable with the rest.

Good for him.
But life is damn funny Sha. Anybody can be replaced.
Moses "the most important player" in the Super Eagles then.
Now there are different players vying for that position.

Rohr: I saw your goal in your last game. Well taken son.

Maja: Thank you Coach, Sir. I'm pleased you were watching.

Rohr: **pauses then speaks** I'm pleased too... So uhmm... Gear up Josh. You are on the list for the games in March. I'm counting on you and Victor. You both are my top choices for the #9 role.

Maja: Yes Boss. cool

A team that has 4 games in hand. We only need to win just 2 out of the 4 and climb into the upper half of the table.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 5:01pm On Jan 20, 2020
Uhmmm... But CIV and SA are also beatable. Avoiding them is just because naturally we want a soft draw but if we get any of those two, they are still as beatable as the rest.

I'd say he prefers Maja to Dessers. The fact that Maja plays for Rohr's former club, where he is considered a legend helps Maja's case.
