My people, you don hear wetin dey happen for Liverpool saga? I tell you, dem boys dey try chop success but e no dey easy! E be like say Ekitike wey dem sign for big money don begin show wetin him sabi since him join dem from summer.
This boy don score his 12th goal for dis season, and him dey ginger fans even as Liverpool dey struggle to find their feet. E be like say as everybody dey think say dem go enjoy better season, wahala don show. You know say Liverpool sef dey sit for sixth position after 23 matches, and the pressure don dey increase like say na local rice wey dem boil!
Ekitike no dey feel the pressure sha; him don open mouth yan say him dey hungry for more goals. Na true talk! Him self don dey shine pass some of the players wey dem expect go carry the team. ‘I dey happy with wetin I don achieve so far but I sabi say I fit do better’, na wetin him talk when dem ask am how him dey feel.
But wait, who dem wan blame for all dis wahala? Arne Slot, the gaffer, don carry blame like dem carry palm wine basket. Him talk say na strategy matter wey make him bench Ekitike for di last match wey dem fall hand to Bournemouth. E no say if he wan win, time go dey limit and players need to get their stamina intact, especially with big matches dey come.
E fit make sense o, but how you go use big matches as excuse when you fit lose small-small? The team dey jumble under pressure, and no be every time you go fit dey manage the game like dat. The fans no carry pity for di coach, as dem dem make am clear say dem no gree for dis lackluster approach!
Let’s be honest, na Ekitike and his partner Szoboszlai na dem dey fight for Liverpool glory. Dem dey build chemistry wey dey sweet to watch. Na dem score and assist each other like say dem dey play together since dem born dem. Dem don do am five times already – na di first time wey under-23 players go do am since Owen and Gerrard own.
Now, Liverpool dey look to secure dem self for Champions League. Dem go face Qarabağ for last group match, and victory na must so dem no go miss di knockout stage. If dem no play well, dem fit join play-off wey no dey sweet for mouth!
Dem also get Newcastle wey dey come visit Anfield soon. E go hot like jollof rice wey dey full pot. Ekitike dey prepare to face his former team, wey dem talk say shun am for summer transfer. Everybody wan see if go defend am against di away fans wey go come dey make noise. As e stand, na Liverpool fans dey shout for am pass – no be small show!
My people, whether dem go find dem form and get back in di top four na story we go watch closely! But make we no forget, Ekitike dey show say na wetin team dey need right now – sharp strikers wey go deliver.
