He needs to work hard bro

I don’t think anyone love nacho the way I do

But don’t be surprise if they purchase another striker as Vardy replacement

I am glad nacho is getting game time

I think next season might be the last season he will have to proove him self as Vardy replacement

Nacho is a good striker ,but Vardy na goal machine

First of all, Iheanacho is in a favourable situation, his contract expires in 2 years time, if he has not been getting game time by then he leaves.

Secondly, Iheanacho is growing into a more complete striker without us noticing. Let's compare him with Vardy by game time.

Better Goal contribution per 90
Vardy's non-penalty G+A per 90 is 0.74, Iheanacho contributes 0.87.

Iheanacho hits 50% of his shots on target , the 5th highest in the league.
This comes even though he averages the 9th most shots per 90 in the league.

Creativity wise, Iheanacho is involved in 3.6 goal attempts per 90, compared with Vardy's 1.72. This puts him comfortably in the Top 20 in the league's most creative players. In fact, Iheanacho is one of the few strikers on this list.
He also averages the same key passes per 90 as Vardy.

Vardy carries the ball over a progressive distance of 60m while Iheanacho does this over a distance of 90m per match.
To illustrate better, against Arsenal Vardy had 19 touches over 90mins while Iheanacho who played 58mins had 21 touches.

This shows that while Vardy is playing as a poacher, iheanacho is becoming a creative forward. He is definitely improving learning at top-level.

Messi is the best player in the world. He also has the best stats in the world.

Kevin De Bruyne is the best player in English football, he has the best stats in the EPL.

Whoever argues against stats is just being statistically obdurate and dogmatic.

Africa Cup Of Nations Winner Wants Nigeria To Beat England To Arsenal Superkid Saka

Published: July 08, 2020



1994 Africa Cup of Nations-winning striker Victor Ikpeba is urging the Nigeria Football Federation to make a move for Arsenal superkid Bukayo Saka.


The international future of the Hale End Academy product has been the subject of debate in recent months following the banner season he is having at the Gunners.


Born in London, Saka qualifies to represent Nigeria through his parents but England are ahead of their Nigerian counterparts in the race for his services, having played for the Young Lions U16, U17, U18 and U19 sides.


The versatile winger became provisionally cap-tied to England when he started in a 2-1 win against Israel at the 2018 European U17 Championship, meaning he has to apply for a change of nationality should he decide to switch his allegiance to the Super Eagles.


Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has set his sights on Saka and his London-based scout has been keeping tabs on the progress of the England U19 international with a view to a call-up to the national team.


England Football Association are also on Saka's case and it is being speculated that Gareth Southgate could hand him an invitation to the Three Lions sooner rather than later.


"Watching the Arsenal Vs Leicester City game and I think Gernot Rohr should invite Bukayo Saka to the Super Eagles camp once the [/b]paperwork[b] have been concluded," Ikpeba tweeted on Tuesday.


The 18-year-old has assisted 12 times so far this season, more than any other Arsenal player.

Hate don do strong thing to their sense of reasoning... After his 13th goal against Burnley he went 3 matches without scoring but had an assist before his series of injuries and since his return to fitness he has only started one match... but it's hard to convince someone whose arguments are based on hate so I rest
