Ndidi and iheanacho are really in action.. e bi like say .they are the best players that are tired of the game as I see. Dey are. No more capable of independent action on the field. My leg o . My belly o . If I be paserieo car . I will look for new battery.
ROGERS go soon join TUCHEL
I guess by next week he will be getting this sack
Ndidi’s performance was abysmal and poor in this game. He was responsible for Spurs second goal with his sloppy performance in defensive midfield! I am not convinced he deserves his invitation for Nigeria’s friendly with Algeria in Oran. He seems to have lost form recently.
@Ema but Musa Deserves his place abi. My friend as long as Musa is in that team anybody playing in top 5 league deserves his place in the team. Na wa o. Na Ndidi you dey question?. Yes he was poor today. But 1 game and you question his place in SE when his absence in the Ghana Knock when he was on form is one of the reasons super eagles was bundled out. Musa has lost form for years now. So what of Musa?.
Ndidi right from time display great deficiencies in quality,I mean he’s never been that mightily convincing, defensively yes, but his link up play with the attack is often found wanting.hes somehow prone to errors, speaking relatively.Our defence architecture in the eagles is responsible for our retrogression in international football in recent years.The personnel manning the defence line aren’t just talented enough,if anything, just average, perhaps.
Leicester are in crises. Wotowoto last week, wotowoto again today.
Tottenham really impressed. Perisic continues to amaze with his ability to use both feet to deliver quality crosses. A natural lefty, his ability to also use his right foot is why he was deployed as a right back today. Players like this are incredibly valuable to managers.
Ndidi’s pocket picked in the 46th minute, resulting in Tottenham’s 3rd goal. OUCH. But Johnny Evans is equally to blame for putting him under pressure with that pass. Ndidi is surrounded by 4 white shirts, in a vulnerable position in the midfield, and Evans still gives him the ball? Keeping it simple by just booting the ball out would have saved them the embarrassment of conceding one of the softest goals you will see in the premiership this season.
A forceful message from Son to his manager. I don’t belong on the bench. I’m a starter. Tough to argue with a hattrick. Another player who is equally comfortable with both feet.
Rodgers is now staring down the barrel of a gun. Sack letter loading?
My friend that department he’s playing is one of the vulnerable departments in the pitch, he has been doing well for years, however he is now too comfortable, heard so many excuses he just graduated, please he should not give us excuses, I can name players in that league who played top top games and played well, Mikel should advice him while he was called man in the middle. Ndidi has dropped deep form, he’s now ordinary, he should sort himself. He’s not improving, only wins tackles but not doing what Yaya Toure does, he has the capability. But he has been to comfortable.
Imagine Oliseh saying Ndidi is a better DM than Mikel….Ndidi is a good DM in his own right but will have to do way more to attain the status that Mikel already has.
You still listen to Oliseh? How anyone can say Ndidi is better than Mikel is just Wow! Mikel a champions league winner, EPL, FA Cup, Afcon and Olympic bronze winner compared to Ndidi who has just won FA Cup & afcon bronze. Let us even leave titles and accomplishments and look at their skill set. Would you compare Ndidi’ s passing to mikel? I did not think so. I also forgot Silver Medal at u20 world cup.
Oliseh is grandiose delusional…. lol
