Kept thinking NDidi was more forward today than normal, but eventually realise it was Musa being ineffective again.

 

 

Be be prepared for the backlash!

Even my Stepfather thought it was NDidi and he's worked with many different ethnic backgrounds in his career. lol

Seriously? I know they are both black, but one is a giant and well built, the other is a small little whippet of a player. They look nothing alike!

While we have a lot of talented attacking players, I don't wish to see a day without Ndidi again. His ball retention skills are the best on the squad. He's also capable of bringing the ball up himself from midfield. Too often today I saw Gray or Mahrez being forced to pick the ball up from Leicester's side of the pitch. Ndidi's presence the past few months has reduced the amount of times Leicester's wingers are trapped at the touchline

Really disappointing comments! if you have any evidence that he is not 20 put up or shut up!

 

He was apparently excluded from an U-17 competition after an MRI test. 

 

From his Wikipedia page: 

"While playing the African U-17 Championship with Nigeria, he was excluded along with two other players from the competition as a precaution, following an MRI test that showed he was just slightly above the threshold. Notwithstanding, he joined up with his teammates in the U-20 team the following year"

 

And this is the article that is cited on the Wikipedia page:

The accusations that he may not be twenty aren't completely baseless. But I imagine he's only a few months to a year older, so it's fairly insignificant really.

Wilfred Ndidi insists there is “something special” about Leicester City and believes the club will keep hold of their star players.

The 20-year-old has quickly established himself as a key member of Leicester’s first-choice line-up following his £16million move in January.

So impressive have his performances been that there has already been speculation that City will face a battle to hold on to the Nigeria international in the summer.

Kasper Schmeichel and Riyad Mahrez have also been linked with moves away in recent weeks, but Ndidi believes City will keep the squad together despite being unable to offer European football next season following their Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid.

“I think our best players will stay,” said Ndidi. “I am very happy here, it is more than I expected.

“I’ve not known a team like Leicester before, we are something special. The team is doing good now and we are happy about it.”

Ndidi has been active in killing off speculation about his future. Earlier this month, reports from Nigeria claimed to have quoted Ndidi’s agent as saying the midfielder would leave if Manchester United came knocking.

Ndidi took to Twitter to quash the speculation, saying he had never heard of the agent who was quoted and insisted he was “200 per cent behind Leicester”.

City captain Wes Morgan also believes the squad will stay together, saying that “everyone loves it” at the club.

Leicester fell short of a place in the Champions League semi-final as their spirited draw against Atletico Madrid saw them unable to overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

But while City’s Champions League adventure is over for at least another season, Ndidi believes the current squad have what it takes to be back in Europe.

“The aim in the future is to get more European football,” said Ndidi. “We are not in Europe next season, so we can fight everything next season to get there.

“We tried our best but it was unfortunate we didn’t get the goals (against Atletico),” he said.

“We felt we could get back into it and we created chances but they were blocked.

“I feel good about the game because we gave all our effort and it was a good experience.”

Atletico boss Diego Simeone embraced the City players at full-time, before saying in his post-match press conference that his side had been “living in fear” at Leicester’s attacking prowess.

“Simone spoke to me afterwards and was like ‘great game, great fight’ because we did well,” said Ndidi.

“It meant a lot and it was a privilege for us.”
