Whether record or not u re already there
You are splendid. You did more than our expectations and I am happy you are gradually bringing it to the national team lebron onuachu james scoring goals like basketball.
You have exceeded expectations already in a season many Nigerian forwards flourished and made us proud as a nation.We never had it this good,i hope other departments of the team improve just like our strikers.
Records are there to be broken it’s a shame you got pulled out early in the second half,who knows if you had played for the duration of the game you may have achieved your goal but never mind you had a great season and I’m sure you have just bought yourself a ticket to stardom.
Hopefully,you will be in a top European team in the coming season.
Congratulations for scoring 29 league goals it’s a great number!
Why the coach did not let him play on and took him out as early as 66th minute baffles me…
Everyone can have a walk in the park but in scoring 29 goals, the quintessential seperates. You have done well goaleador Onuachu. But please not yet time to close curtains on arrival, still loads of grey areas to polish. Late Yekini Yeking was just how to do it. He got more and more incrementally dangerous as the years roll by in his football career. You and others belting opponenets’ net with goals can do even more. JUST WHAT I WISH YOU ALL AS YOU GUYS CONTINUE TO MAKE NIGERIAN SOCCER FANS PROUD. GOD BLESS.
