ighalo wasted very vital seconds in connecting to dat cross.... U and i kno nacho would connect to dat cross or atleast do better....
Ighalo was trying not to get offside and kinda became confused at dat very moment...
Rewatch dat part and tell me he didnt waste some seconds.......d nacho i know would have positioned himself well enough nd connected well with dat cross.....ighalo did well but kc would have done better....take it or leave it

hmmm did I hear you say nacho would hav done better

tbaba1234:
Nah, he had space to run into.

yea he does, but what happen to hold up play to bring ur teammate on

Kog45:
Thank u my brother,sometimes i keep on wondering did i watched another match.Am not Ighalo fan coz I don't normally rate him especially in eagles colour.

I prefer Nacho coz his goal rating is awesome in eagles but Rohr for now preferred Ighalo due to his formation, a top 9.

The big question is can Nacho do it as top 9 in Rohr formation? against Algeria and South Africa,he was pretty anonymous.It was his performance against South Africa that forced Rohr to call Ighalo, Nwakaeme, Aron Samuel meaning Rohr need a powerful striker.

Ighalo didn't disappoint against Cameroon in both legs,although some we argue that just a goal in three matches not good enough but we need to look at his over all contributions.A good goal in d first leg and his great contribution toward Simeon goal in d second leg,his input in d second leg was awesome.

Ighalo against Zambia had a nice game though he can do better,I don't see any reason to condemn him for the two misses,this are not clear chances and it must not warrant undue criticism unless those doing so have something hiding.

Another big question can Nacho have done better,well i w say in d first leg he does it just like Iwobi did it and did it again but we now have improved Zambia with different approach,so is a tough question to answer.

am telling you, if it was nacho against those Zambians, he would had fade out since, worst still, would had gotten injured

tbaba1234:
Ighalo was a bit slow there, there was space to run towards the near post instead of the back post.

Anyway, it is easy to analyze when the game is over.

after all those energy sapping display by Zambians, you don't expect him to sprint for the ball, wen the more purposely thing to do is to hold up play little, to bring him on, befor making that cross

Kog45:
Iheanacho goal against Cameroon and Ighalo missed against Zambia are two different things and no need for comparison.

The cross against Cameroon was well taken at a very right time but d cross against Zambia,oh my God any striker we turn to Usain Bolts to connect that cross.

thanks alot, that's what hav been trying to make THEGOODJOE see,

even nacho wont make any difference,

jst to criticize IGHALO they will come up with a new grammar call " attacking space "

TheGoodJoe:
You gerrit but you do not realize that you gerrit.

It looks like anybody can score that goal but a lot of people forget that it takes reading play and pace to spaces to get into scoring positions. Ighalo was not there before the cross came because he could not meet up the play and attack the space before the cross came. He did not get into position.

Gerrit?

nope still I refuse to Gerrit, if a player was not dia, then a cross was not to be made,

I don't want dis to go on, so I drop ma case

Fringes:
Safarigirl darling, you have no idea of how long I have admired your intelligent posts about Nigerian football. For years, I must tell you.

However, I was restrained to reach you because you are female as male-female DMs, I hear, has been hugely abused on NL. If you would respond however, I would love to have you join us. We need more females as a matter of fact!

hmmmmm, ah jst take one eye dey look you

TheGoodJoe:
It is not about overhitting but attacking the space. The space was open and Ighalo did not attack it. When the cross came he was too late to get there. Look at Iheanacho's last goal against Cameroon. He attacked there and when the cross came, he was in the perfect position to score. Ighalo should have attacked the space before the cross came. Nacho would have. That was why after the miss, the camera captured Nacho with his back to the field shaking his head. He knew Ighalo missed that opportunity.

Gerrit?

nope i still don't, you are talking about different scenario, think again,

against Cameroun, we are already home and dry, even that goal, can be score by anybody not jst nacho alone, look at it again nacho was already dia before the cross was made,


i tell you nacho would had been worst against those Zambians, with the way the game went, so he shaking his head dis meant nothings

TheGoodJoe:
If that is the way Rohr chose to go by Playing compact and leaving a lone workhorse up front, it is okay. However, back to my earlier point, I will always pick a striker who attacks spaces with pace over a workhorse because I always favor and offensive strategy. Always.

Gerrit?

nope i don't, and that's y nacho and ighalo fails to reach the overhit balls,, you might want yo watch that Cameroun game again,

if mikel had over hit, you know already what happens,
same with nacho, if ( i think it was vicmo, or correct me ) had over hit that ball, nacho too wont have score

Icon79:
Bro, not me! As for me, 99.9% of the blame belongs to Pinnick. I even tweeted him a few times on twitter (along with that naija BBC reporter) to keep his moves on the down low....we don't wanna alert the English FA so they go ahead and cap him right away. But he ignored me because he needs his photo ops.

And as for the Oluwashina Okeleji somebody (the BBC reporter), I got into a twitter shouting match with him sef. But he kept on doing his thing because he wanted to report his scoop. That being selfish! That's unpatriotic!


O pari

so nah to blame PINNICK abi,

what about that mugu reporter, who put a spinner in the works,
me and you both know, even here in this very thread, many of us will be asking for a prove that he was in a meeting with tammy,

and to me, PINNICK deserves respect and a pact on his back,

how many of ur former NFF presido had tired to do wat he was doing ,before



oti pari oooo

soetanoreoluwa:
But iwobi came him and give us the goal...

See eh.. In football there is no perfect team... Players will continue to make mistakes.. Even the Ronaldo and Messi of these world still find it difficult to score some goals...

I repeat this is not the team for experiment ... We re done with experiment.. Do you when we have started doing experiment since 2002... ...

Those players need our credit... Remember we didn't qualify for last two nations cup... And qualified for WC in the suppose group of death..

,



leave IWOBI out of it, and besides they play different positions,
imagine if it had been IWOBE supplying IGHALO....

he would had score not jst one, but two, cos IWOBI knows how to play/pass according to his teammate pace and strength

TheGoodJoe:
I think it has to do with strategy. If we are sitting deep and need a strong forward to battle with defenders, Ighalo gets the pick. If we are going with an offensive strategy that will require a striker attacking spaces with pace, Nacho gets the nod.

you seems to forget something else,

nothing wrong with sitting deep, with a lone man, or playing offensive, with your man attacking space with pace,

the most important thing in strategy, is playing to the rules spelled out, accordingly, and in so doing you have to bring ur man strength into consideration,

so wether we are sitting deep or not, any strategy withou considering the strength of our player is null and void


GERRIT

TheGoodJoe:
Ighalo was also slow to the ball. He was behind the pace of the forwards. That was a big challenge yesterday. He is the kind of striker who does not attack spaces with his pace.

He does not make a good fit for an offensive strategy.

hmmmm so discarding him is the best right?

TheGoodJoe:
Sorry, I misread your point.

thanks,
i don't know why some of us here don't like IGHALO,
we should be encouraging our own to improve, instead discarding, jst vos he didn't get the job done,



before, i say a player missed a chance, i always look at two tins, the supply, and opposition, cope with the pressure

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! Yes ooo!

if that zambia g, ame was played in Lagos, and they struggled in first half, after booing, the stadia, will start emptying itself, before half time

TheGoodJoe:
Which South Africa? The South African game, Nacho suffered from poor service. Not conversion.

most of those balls to nacho, are over-hit/long ball, yes /no

plus the opposition was different


and besides, even the best of strikers had his own bad week

tbaba1234:
In the nations cup after we lost to Cameroon.. Wetin happen? Weren't the players stoned with pure water?

Before we stopped playing games in Lagos, Booing was normal when the team is playing badly.

Uyo fans are always behind the team.

Lagos is great when Nigeria is playing well but if we are playing rubbish. Lagos can be a difficult place to play. They can start supporting the away team, giving them more confidence.

Lagos, my Lagos... Hmmm, if the eagles knows they cant beat an opponent, or will struggle against an opponent,

hmmm make Dem no come Lagos ooo, ,.

soetanoreoluwa:
I was just wondering and I need to check if Zambia beat us or we didn't qualify for people to start a overhaul of the team in name of making all players play..

I check Belgium list yesterday all their players played.. All even they have qualified... We don't need to start experimenting Now...


Baba Rohr should invite those that can help us in our weak position and Get grade A friendly for us...

scoring goalz,

have you thought about the supply first, especially that supply from Simon, check it again,

most of them are over-hit, hence his difficulty is reach and control,

look at that goal against Cameroun, if mikel had over hit it, me and you both know, there will be no goal,


even nacho wont have made any different COs he had been in that position before, against south africa
