Then analyse Iheanachor football and leave his goal celebration style and other irrelevant things behind. Nacho didn't miss any sitter against Brazil, he didn't concede possession to opposition at a dangerous part of the field that led to a counter that led to a goal. He just wasn't special that day, he was average, but many of his team mates were sub average that day.

Iheanachor criticism is not football based, and must stop lest I will start reading more to it.

You are not the only one that can analyze sports here, I can too, and so know when criticism is sports based and tribal based.

dayosaurus:
Jeez!!! Bros borrow small sense now. How did tribalism come into play here?.. Iheanacho was poor in that match and reacted rudely to being substituted, he feels his bigger than the team, which affects team spirit and he was dropped as a result. Which is well deserved, Moses Simon who's a better player than nacho had played lesser minutes than nacho n nobody has screamed tribalism here... Please try to think before typing next time.

But you already ruined it when you lots felt you could single out Iheanachor for criticism. Some of us are not naive.

Emperortj93:
I foresee two goals for awoniyi in this match

santori:




bro you still don't get it. I think you should address issues rather than trying to whip up ethnic sentiments. yes iheanacho has flopped like some other players, especially the foreign based players exept isaac.
it's not out of place for nacho to received such criticism. in case you don't he was the most valuable player at the under 17 two years ago, so a whole lot is expected from him
I think Nigerians should cut him some slack, I belief he will get his bearing as the competition progresses. another player having similar issue is yahaya musa. this guys major problem is blending, they've been away from the squad for so long and they need time to blend properly. if you observed closely, you would notice the team has been doing better collectively since he dropped musa, iheanacho and isaac to the bench.
at the AYC this had similar experience until the coach fall back on the players he has been working with at training.
yea iheanacho needs time to get his bearing an I think it's totally wrong for you read ethnic meanings to other people's opinion. you are the only one that have so far in this thread sounded like an ethnic bigot. bro today na sunday. try and stop this ethnic shenanigans

How exactly is Moses Simon a better player than Iheanachor?

And how exactly did you come to the conclusion that Iheanachor feels that he is bigger than the team.

I think you should use your brain more.

How is Moses Simon a better player than Iheanacho?

Simon is better player anyday anytime, he helped his club win the league, even though he joined in january he scored 7goals n had 3assist and 10 2nd assist in 17 appearances. Nacho did not get up to 10goals for city u21

dayosaurus:
Its either you're pretending to be daft or you're a dunce. Did you see the way he reacted to being substituted by the coach?..

I am beginning to sense tribal angle to this Iheanachor criticism. The whole team as a whole played bad against Brazil, why then are all of you people singling out Iheanachor for bashing?

Even Awoniyi was piss poor against Brazil, he missed a sitter that Iheanachor would have easily buried that day, yet he isn't being criticized.Enaholo and Muhammad were calamity that day. Iheanachor never put a foot wrong in that match, he just wasn't special that day, and now all you jealous tribalists are after him, trying to scape goat him. Ekwensu kpo kwa oku there!

Infact I sense Igbo bashing here as usual, and will now treat further Iheanachor bashing here as such.

Ogini di!

DrTee1:


Except you edited that comment after the game, you must have a sense of clairvoyance.

If you do, please use it for good. The question now world be "Do you see the flying eagles winning Germany? Do you see them lifting the WYC as they did the U17?"

pazienza:


You are stupid. Slowly I am bringing out your innate tribal nature.

If Simon Moses were any good, he would have been snapped up by any European top league, but instead your guy is stuck in piss poor Belgium league. Ewu.

mikron:
a wise man will ask why iheanacho has been kept in the bench after that 1st game and not to come here to show ur ignorance, what has tribalism got to do with his present situation? Was iheanacho not the mvp in uae 2013? Why was he not kissing the bench then? If u care to know kelechi was kind of rude to the coach when he was substituted in d brazil game. You don't do that to a coach, he was cocky and saw himself as indispensable hence the silent treatment he is getting from the coach now. Tribalism my foot

gbosaa:



Bia nwokem, o so gi bu onye Igbo no here? Isi Juo gi oyi.

It is normal to criticise somebody including iheanacho. He had the chance in the first match but he allowed Gabriel Jesus to upstage him and the rest of the boys.

Manu Garba reverted back to the team that he trusts. They have regained the stability that they were known for and if you noticed, iheanacho and the likes of Isaac only come in to consolidate on the efforts and so far, the strategy has worked.

We don't want this sort of post here..it belongs to ndiofe/flat head section.

I would argue that the team better performance boils down to the fact that they met a poor opposition in Hungary and Korea, those two are not super powers of world football and are many levels below Brazil. It's only normal that it would appear the team was doing better.

In those two matches, our defenders were put under less pressure thanks to less attacking talents at the disposal of Hungary and Korea. Enaholo was not put under enough pressure for his horrendous goal keeping skills to show, their defenders( Korea and Hungary) were poor and tactically many levels below the Brazilians defenders, so our mis firing attack became potent all of a sudden.
I want to believe Iheanachor would have shone too if he was started against Korea and Hungary.

When bulk of Iheanachor criticism was coming from a particular section of the country, you don't expect me not to pick notice.

DrTee1:


Super assist at that! He was a little lucky why it though, as the misunderstanding amongst the Hungarians who both went for the header augmented Enaholo's effort.

He is a great lad and I commend him greatly for rising up from the Brazil-game howlers, a game where he really made several great saves which were however undone by those errors.

Garba deserves praise for not dumping him for the fans-favourite Alampasu. I personally believe Alampasu is a jittery and unreliable goalie. I think he was a little lucky in UAE, just like Joseph Dosu at Atlanta...

I believe you read the phrase "the team has improved collectively" I can now see you are naive when it comes to football. it's obvious to everyone who have eyes to see the stability in every department of the team from their 2nd match. you can even infer that from the way their opponents fared against brazil.

bro . you need to work on your self. I'm sorry to say this cause I know the average Nigerian takes offence in what I'm about to say easily. you need to have your mental state check out by professionals in that field.

the urge and payche to attribute every comment made by ppl that does not belong to your ethnic/religion stock as a kind of bashing. I apologise if you felt offended

bia nwoke, ileziekwa anya, iga aghotakwa na ife nwokem a n' ekwu bukwa eziokwu. How is nacho choice of celebration a problem to manu garba that some body have to use it in his analysis as one of the reasons why nacho is being benched? nacho haven't even scored in this tournament, yet some people are already talking about his pattern of celebration.

can't you see that such comment depict pure hate from the person that made such comment? he also talked about nachos reaction when he was substituted in the first match against Brazil, except both of did not watch the same match, nacho never reacted angrily, except you said he was a little bit Moody, which is normal. he might be disappointed in himself for not putting up that terrific performance he has been known for.

for the guy to say manu garba is cutting nacho to size and to "over bloated ego" to descrip nachos person speaks volume of What the guy had in mind. we all know that the team had a very bad and abysmal performance against Brazil, but to single out only nacho is a no no.

personally attacking nacho in the guise of criticism What the guy you qouted is trying to point out.
