I agree with you at the bolded, because you just gave a perfect description of Villarreal's Chukwueze there.

That said, going by that description, Chuks trumps Vicmo through and through

@bolded... Nailed Komekn so right on this spot. grin But watch as he tries to dribble himself out of this tight corner. Lol

My guy, you are doing well.

So good sitting back and seeing shouts of goal for Iheanacho yet again. His goal against Crystal Palace was the ice breaker that set Leicester up for their 3-0 win.
Palace were proving really stubborn before that.
This goal was his second in a week for Leicester after coming on against Everton and also scoring.

Someone (precisely Komekn), pages ago, was telling us how Osimhen and Ighalo are Nigeria's only quality strikers at the moment and I just wonder if Iheanacho is now playing hockey. Or if Dessers who top-scored in Holland is now involved in Kayak racing.
His current inclusion of Osimhen sef holds an agenda as he still underrates the lad seeing how he rates him behind Ighalo forgetting Ighalo was not commanding Osimhen's numbers and attention at 21. Now he wants to use the lad to make Nacho look like sh*t.


10 goals and 4 assists in 22 appearances this season as a back up striker/second choice centre forward.
5 goals and 4 assists of that overall total in 767 mins of EPL football across 16 games. And doing it as a backup striker to the EPL's leading scorer.

And you say this is not a quality striker?Iheanacho has finally brought himself back from the rubbles and proving that his 15/16 stats at Man City that once made him the deadliest striker in Europe in terms of goals/mins ratio were no flux. The Alien kid is back. So deal with it. wink

Dele Alampasu's brief highlights against FK Liepaja.
Fine stop as seen from 2:47 in the clip. The goal he conceded too was becos of a clash with a player from a loose ball scrambled for by his defender in the air. The lad is gradually working his way back.

Hope he gets a clean sheet by his next game.

Ovie Ejaria played 70 mins and bagged a beautiful assist in Reading's 5-0 thumping of Luton town away from home.
He was replaced by another Nigerian (Franco/Anglo Nigerian), Michael Akpovie Olise who played the final 20mins.

A third Nigerian featured for Reading but unlike Ovie and Olise, this lad played all 90mins at Right back. His name is Gabriel Jeremiah Adedayo Osho and he is 21 yrs old. Born in England. Can play Right back and Centre back according to his profile.



Check out Ejaria's beautiful assist.

Watch from 1:08 below...

I know of this lad. We have given him a few mentions here. Did good at AS Trencin in Slovakia before bagging his Eredivisie move. You are right about his injury struggles. Hoping to see him do well in 2020/2021. One of his finest assets is his speed.

In Portugal, Super Eagles fringe defensive midfielder, Mikel Agu produced another fine showing for his side, Vitoria Guimaraes as they ran out 1-0 winners away at Portimonense.

*Check below to see his overall rating compared to the others*

He played all 90mins having a passing accuracy of 83.9%, made five clearances, four tackles, 1 interception and blocked a shot. He also wasn't dribbled past all game.

This fine showing follows his previous solid performance for his side in the Vitoria derby against Vitoria Setubal which earned him top ratings.






Still in the Portuguese Liga NOS, another Nigerian who has been long forgotten featured for all 90mins. Afcon 2013 winner, Obiora Nwankwo returned to action and played all 90 in his side's 3-1 loss to Benfica.

Lol.... Nacho and Ndidi again. Funny duo. Ndidi ALWAYS doing the recording, and most times without Nacho knowing it... grin

This is Iheanacho checking Man Utd's result to see if they won. He is obviously thinking of Leicester's top 4 place knowing they have Arsenal next. He didn't check Chelsea's from this video but I think I know why. Once a Cityzen, always a Cityzen. His blue Manchester blood was at work here... cheesy



The convo went as follows:


Ndidi: How many Greenwood score?

Nacho: 2

Ndidi: Who score again?

Nacho: Martial score 1, Rashford score 1, Bruno Fernandes, he go always score, he'll always score.

Ndidi: Oboy, wetin you dey chop?

Nacho: See....*puts his snack in his mouth and takes a big bite* Na... **says something inaudible** I dey chop....


Crazy duo. grin grin

Simon plays in the ligue 1 and he got 8 goals and 9 assists.. please in which season did Moses get 8 goals and 9 assists in the premier league as a winger ?

Onyekuru managed to score 16 goals in the Turkish league playing as a winger, Moses was in that same league,how many goals did he score please ?


Moses is an average player as much as the other players we have in the team...he is no way an upgrade..
We should focus on getting younger and well talented players like Ejuke,Eze and Saka into the team and not asking Moses to come out of retirement...
He has nothing new to offer ...

V. Moses is far better than all these players in green white green. Moreover, he is currently doing well in a top league.

So it took Jamie Vardy only 5 seasons to reach 100 epl goals ?

While it took Chelsea legend Didier Drogba 8 seasons with more games to reach 100 epl goals also

Jamie Vardy is one of the most underrated striker in the world ,that’s if he is not the most underrated

Yakubu is the most underrated Nigeria striker ever ,we should not forget that this dude has 95 epl goals just behind Drogba and adebayor but Nigerians only care about speaking bad of him because of the South Korea miss as if dem go win that World Cup

Stop fooling yourself. Victor Moses was crucial to Chelsea winning the EPL. Is Chuks crucial for Villarreal winning the la Liga?

Even at the national team level, Chuks has not done what Vicmo did. Until then. Let's discuss.

Let's talk bro. Moses is shit, he is a good player and all but his antics are not good for national football. He dives like a fool and extremely selfish. if He is to come back, I have no problem with that. However, never should he be put up front, he should play at full back position if he can adapt. we have better, stronger and more willing players up front.

Victor Moses should only be allowed back to the team if he will line up at the defense.
Bukayo Saka too is not a winger, if he can can't play as a full back for the team, he should go and cut his teeth in the English squad

Victor Moses is shit but he solemnly helped us to lift the Nation's cup, abi? Sometimes ehn, you just read shit here.
