TheGoodJoe:



IT WASN'T Off, Manchester City has Semi-final goal disallowed as Sane's cross deemed to have gone out but replays show the opposite.

But the assistant referee's flag was up, which suggested the ball went out, but replays showed it probably didn't.

BT Sport pundit and former referee Howard Webb said at half-time that the linesman got the decision wrong and the ball did just stay in play.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah like making his first touch so horribly nonexistent abi??

By spreading or supportinh the fallacy that Nacho cannot contribute to build up plays right??

And like he is now so bad all because he is at Man city ba?? same Nacho that got goals for us while all the time being at City.....


Leave TheGoodJoe Alone abeg.... people saw that game... there is no way he would wanna fool anyone here about Nacho's performance okay

But it is you and others who wants everyone here to believe that Iheanacho is now so horrible ... that is sickening and untrue.

Haba!!!! U guys should leave Nacho alone biko... talk about something else.... it is not your career but his.... haba!!!

Trying to make Nacho look so bad just to prove that City is killing his game is the biggest fallacy I am noticing on this thread and it is not helpful at all. You guys are supposed to be objective and not just saying things because you don't like City.....

Napoleon55:
there is something I don't quite understandem,is it really true that Isa hayatou usually decides who wins APOTY after the voting must have taken place,let's say for instance Mikel have 300 points,and Yaya has 200 points after voting,can he decide to give it to Yaya?

terzurum5:


One question for you Sir.

In what area has Nacho improved since the arrival of Lord Guardiola is my concern and not to make the young man look hurrible.



If you go back the the previous threads to chech my comments. I was one person who never liked the idea of Nacho going to Man City. I had wanted him to go to Fc Porto.

Iheanacho himself confirmed it, that it was his Dad who convinced him to join Man City.

I am of the believe that if the lad had joined City it would have benefited his career more than City move.

AIG07:
If I may answer this question, I think Iheanacho has improved more on his 'off the ball movements' and with his latest interview he has learnt patience and perseverance which is a +ve character development.

Categorically speaking, Iheanacho has developed.

safarigirl:
if I had to place a bet, I would bet on Moses winning 2017 CAF APOTY

The only country that could have had a stronger contender is maybe Cameroon, but none of their players is doing it big for club

Many forget that apart from Chelsea winning EPL and FA Cup, if Nigeria qualify for the World Cup, the CAF APOTY is in the bag for Moses.

Salah could come a close second cuz Egypt too will most likely qualify for their first World Cup

It is highly unjust that Aubameyang should beat any of those two considering Gabon is almost nonexistent in African football

Hopefully, under this new CAF President, this award will be given based on contribution to national team more than contribution to a foreign club. There should be a CLEAR DISTINCTION between CAF APOTY and BBC APOTY

EmmGee:

Just wondering. Isn't keita of RB leipzig an african?

TheSuperNerd:
Yep you too are right.... Moses is a favorite but it won't be a walk in the pack...

Trophies count ooo but goals matter too.... this is where Auba comes in.

But Moses looks good for the award. Time will tell shaa

Iheancho has always been on top of our priority list because of the belief we have in his abilities.

No body doubts his abilities, for him to have been our proven goal scorer even after not having quality game time under Lord Guardiola speaks volumes about his game.

However, somebody's loyalty to Guardiola should not stop us from crying out.

Now lastly, Iheanacho's career is my career. Yes it is. That is why I will keep expecting the best from him, nothing less.

Yes, it wouldn't be a walk in the pack, but cup is the number one criteria. Except dey won do wayo wayo. The position Moses plays is not expected of him to score goals as strikers or midfielders.

Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr.

TheSuperNerd:
I have already pointed out the bolded earlier in discussions with others...

Wingbacks don't get on the score sheet oftentimes... it is only occasional.

All these things are hopefully put into consideration.

terzurum5:
So far a good number of players on the list of Sir Forgiveness have done enough to deserve a look in by the national team handlers, except Dominic Solanke an Ajagun.

I think we wrere in a hurry to read meanings to his list.

My unreserved appology Sir!

Icon4s:


I think it has to do with the way iheanacho runs into positions. Could be that He runs into positions that will be difficult for his team mates to find him. I noticed it on two occasions: one when Yaya-Toure had the ball and was looking for opening. Iheanacho ran but from where he ran to there was no way Yaya-Toure would pass the ball to him without the Arsenal defenders intercepting the pass. A similar one happened again when I think Sane was in an advantage position.

Then another thing is Iheanacho does not contribute to overall build up play. Welbeck came in as Arsenal's CF but you could see him playing from different advanced position and not just running into the 18yards box waiting for that perfect pass.

terzurum5:

Point of correction, nobody hates Nacho. Hope you are not sounding this way to whipup sentiments.

If Icon4s had not raised his usual alarm, you would have come up with imaginary improvements made by Nacho under Lord Guardiola, which are not far fetched even in this post of yours.

Nacho needs to play regularly. The Drills are not helping, rather they are killing his game.

edi287:
Nacho's build play gets overrated sometimes on here. Let's be honest; if it was as great as people say, there's no way he wouldn't be a starter. Nacho IS the best finisher in city. But he's not that mobile (improved in that aspect) and oddly enough, not that much of a great dribbler. The more I watch him, the more I'm convinced it was the right move to convert him to a 9. I just can't see him doing what De Bruyne or Silva does as the creative hub. He's a great finisher and has a good final pass. Everything else is just there.

Do you have a point to prove that I am bias. Say what you can prove.

Icon4s:


And who drops when Victor Moses comes back?

If Aluko is to be invited who drops?

komekn:

Easily Isaac Success

TheSuperNerd:
Musa played right ba in Moses' absence in the friendly... so Musa drops....

Onyekuru plays from the left more.... although he can play both right and left Wing forward positions and he is so good that he also drifts centrally oftentimes into the no.9 position in some match situations when his team are pushing for goals.... Dude is dynamic.

So For Victor moses... musa benches....

Some Aluko's invite won't automatically mean someone drops... he must show he is better than those playing the no.10 role for now....

Icon4s:


Isaac Success has come to stay in that team.

Success is more likely than Aluko to make the squad in our next game.

komekn:


He may indeed but on what basis, is it justified

Club form, potential performance, past Glory or recent friendlies

Who is currently better than Aluko in that team considering the possible options he brings, I would say not more than two and that is debatable.

Icon4s:


Let's discuss this again when Aluko comes back to the premier league.

TheGoodJoe:




Did you see his move yesterday? If that was not brilliant, what is. Have you watched any of Iheanacho's games earlier this season? If you did, I doubt you will criticise his build-up plays.

Players have different styles and Nacho does not hold the ball for long. However, playing midfield is far different from attacking. There is little time to hold on to the ball due to pressure of defenders that are close.

kennysville:


Off ball development? Really? Like seriously? Of all things to grow in, off ball movements? Wat happened to possession? Skill on the ball? Shooting Accuracy? U are here talking of off ball movement. I am sorry but that is rather ludicrous
