Leitner:on point! |

Think nacho is more or less like a false9 in my own. his passing and eye for goal makes him suited in that roll. |

kenex4ever:Iheanacho is actually up to 6ft tall, so he's not short by any means |

safarigirl:think nacho should play as a false9. he would be a beast. |

Leitner:[b] You are talking off the top of your head and making so many mistakes. Manchester City coaches have bulked Nacho up. His is now strong physically. He has a blistering pace. So reread your comment and see your mistakes. ### "If things get congested in the middle of the pitch, I’ll look to go out towards the wings or drop deeper and get on the ball a bit more. Some teams are very open and they let you play a lot more. Against them, things are much easier.”.......Sergio Aguero. http://performance.fourfourtwo.com/pro-tips/sergio-aguero-shake-off-your-marker ### Starting with Manchester City, the relationship between Agüero and Negredo has been exceptional to watch. They are both superb at finishing and assisting, which means they can freely interchange roles, making them a nightmare for defenders to play against. One can stay up top and occupy the centre-backs whilst the other drops deep into space to receive the ball and turn. http://thefalse9.com/2014/02/suarezsturridgeagueronegredo-revival-of-the-striking-partnership.html ### From the above articles, you can see you are wrong when you say Aguero does not drop deep.

Can't say. I would know had it been he is an active player. |

Leitner: 38' Action Aguero drops deep to receive the ball and takes on one or two opposition players before looking to exchange a one-two with Toure. The next pass comes and the Argentine looks to pull the trigger 20 yards out, but an important tackle comes in from James who just nicks the ball away!

edi287: Also, RVP and Aguero started as creative midfielders. However they turned out to be fantastic strikers. |
Re: Kelechi Iheanacho: Striker Or Attacking Midfielder? by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:46pm On Apr 30, 2015 |
kenex4ever: Aguero, Suarez and Tevez are not tall but they are fantastic strikers. |
Re: Kelechi Iheanacho: Striker Or Attacking Midfielder? by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:50pm On Apr 30, 2015 |
kenex4ever: Suarez, Sturridge, Tevez, Guiseppe Rossi, Saviola, Villa, even Sterling played as a striker in recent games for Liverpool and did well. When it comes to striking, height is not compulsory. Ask Obafemi Martins. |

Leitner:Aguero only began playing as a true "target man" in city. I remember back when he was at atleti people didn't know if he was a number 9 or a 10. He was more of a "9 1/2"(as rvp would say) and that was why he always played with another number 9 (forlan at atleti and dzeko, negredo, tevez at city). If you notice he previously struggled to play as a lone striker when he first moved to city. 1 Like |

kenex4ever: Sturridge is 6' 2", Nacho is 6' 1". The height difference is not much and Nacho has bulked up now. He is strong and fast. Nacho has the attributes to make a great striker. |

[b]Man City 3-2 Leicester U21's | Iheanacho scores again! Flying Eagles attacking midfielder Kelechi Iheanacho scored his second goal in for Manchester City's U-21 side that defeated Leicester City 3-2 on Thursday to qualify for the inaugural International Premier League Cup. The 18 year old highly-rated star who replaced Jorge Intima on the right wing at half time slotted home a brilliant pass from Jose Angel Pozzo in the 57th minute to restore his side’s parity. It was his second goal in four days after scoring the opener in City’s 2-1 loss to Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup. Harry Panayiotu's brace had handed the visitors the lead before Pozzo’s strike restored parity for City Manu García Alonso grabbed the winner after in the first half of extra time. Iheanacho was however denied twice by Leicester City's goalkeeper Adam Smith from close range. City EDS' side defeated Celtic 5-3 on penalties in the quarter-finals with Angus Gunn the hero for Patrick Vieira's team as they were second best for much of the game but against the young foxes it was Iheanacho whose deft touches created problems for Leicester. Vieira's team will now face Porto in the finals of the competition. http://.com/news/2705/-man-city-3-2-leicester-u21s-iheanacho-scores-again[/b] |

Looks lets not get carried away with the position a player plays at the U17 level, Nacho is still growing and he could develop different skills that could make him better off in another postion. Russia's Yuri Nikirov who won the golden boot at the 1987 U17 as a striker but played as a sweeper at the 1994 world cup, Mattias Sammer who was an attacking midfielder for East Germany at the Chile 87 U21 tournament, he won the Ballon'd Or in 96 or 97 as a sweeper. The player is still growing, please let him grow and develop. |
Re: Kelechi Iheanacho: Striker Or Attacking Midfielder? by Stamfordking(m): 6:29am On May 01, 2015 |
With regards to the way he plays, i think he was designed to be an attacking midfielder in the number 10 role. He could marshal the midfield, dish out passes and as well score lovely long-distance goals. |
Re: Kelechi Iheanacho: Striker Or Attacking Midfielder? by safarigirl(f): 7:46am On May 01, 2015 |
