Icon4s:
You rate Moses even ahead of Emmanuel Amuneke?

Babangida was not even a usual starter. As u know the argument is on if any of the current Super Eagles would make the starting 11 of the France '98 Team.

Icon4s:
@ Bolded, we have seen the bests of the bests in decades past. No be matter of respect, this crop still dey learn.

Icon4s:
You dare mention Babangida and Musa in the same sentence?

No be say anything Musa will nt make the starting 11 for any Super Eagles Team from 2006 and earlier.

TheGoodJoe:

At the end, I am repeating the same thing and this talk does not change my point.

I said, I am more interested in the training than playing time. I can give more players who were without regular playing time.

Thiago Alcantara did not have much playing time at Barcelona. He went to Bayern Munich and broke records.

So, did the benching stop him from reaching his potential? This is a clear fact.

joseph1013:
But he's nothing close to Moses.

In 36 games, he scored 5 goals for Nigeria. In 27 games, Moses has scored 9 goals.

Technique, Pace, Skills, Crossing, Goals, Moses has got them.

tbaba1234:
Babangida was a baller, he scores goals too, makes all those ljungberg kind of runs, plus he had good technique.

I was an Ajax fan as a kid and Tijani was always scoring critical goals.

Icon4s:
Who Moses for displace? Finidi or Babangida?

joseph1013:
Mikel and Victor Moses will make the first team. If we still had Enyeama, he will make the first team too.

Good day everybody!!!

Did anyone notice the flaws in the 3-4-3 system in the game yesterday?
At a point in the second half Chelsea could not hold the ball and string passes (could it be the absence of matic?) cus aside the pass fabregas gave to Costa, it think he had a average game (match rusty?).
Chelsea's wing back where cut high up the pitch several times anytime man city hit on a fast break (Moses run like Jackie them need to increase that guy pay).
I think pep lost the game , the occasion got to him and he lost it. You are winning 1 nil against an inform Chelsea and u are still pressing with ur defense playing a high line ? u going to get punished. Check out Chelsea's first goal (Costa is a Badt Guy).
Gundogan should have been out since yesterday (I no notice am for second half) bring Kelechi in about 65 min Kelvin should have come to the midfield.

Happy Sunday everyone God's blessings!!!

TheGoodJoe:
I owe you a big apology for sounding rude when I said I did not understand your point. There is no room for such statement.

Let me see If I can find a post on this issue.

TheGoodJoe:

Thank you very much.

Let see how the next games go. I wonder how long it will take before Guardiola fuses Gabriel Jesus with the team. However, I hope Iheanacho plays three of the four games Aguero is to miss. If he gets all four starts, that will be wonderful.

Thanks again and do not worry about the plank because I have Safety Helmet on.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not get what you are writing there. Get the point before running.

I said, Pogba left Manchester United to Juventus in search for Glory. He is a brilliant talent and felt he was ready for the big stage. Sir Alex Ferguson knew Pogba was a brilliant talent but wanted him to learn more.

Note, I was among those who was against Ferguson's decision to keep Pogba on the bench for another season.

Pogba left and the talent we knew he had shone. He got the glory. On his return, it was clear he never learnt how to control the midfield.

So, I am not disrespecting Pogba. I believe he is one of the best talents in the World today. However, if he does not learn how to control the midfield, he would not perform on the level of Zidane who was the ultimate architect in midfield.

TheGoodJoe:

Stop what. You are the one breaking your head over a simple point. I would prefer Iheanacho playing weekly but I am more interested in his training daily under Guardiola.

So I am against the opinion of Iheanacho leaving on loan or permanently for Glory over a search for playing time. He should keep working with Guardiola and take his chances when he gets his time.

TheGoodJoe:

Isco warms bench and you feel Iheanacho is too big to warm bench. Kovacic warms bench.

Iwobi that had all the playing time, did he not drop form? Moses that warmed bench, did he not pick form?

At this stage in Iheanacho's career, he needs nurture and training on the training field than playing time. I have giving loads of analogies to explain this.

In Nigeria '99, the Costa Rican team had poor converting rate against Nigeria. The coach said he will take the team to the training pitch and drill them until they get it right. I watched some videos of the shooting drills the coach put the team on.

In their next games, they improved. Improvement mostly comes from the training pitches. That is why coaches spend more time there than match games.

TheGoodJoe:

Iheanacho is a young player with a lot to learn. For instance, Pogba never learnt how to control the midfield because he was impatient for Glory. He has the glory but missed the lesson.

TheGoodJoe:

You do not know how Iheanacho feels because you do not know what is going on in camp. For instance, there is a possibility of a clear out phase two in Manchester City. Some old players might leave just as Bony and Hart left. This will give more room for the younger players.

As I said before, other youngsters are in the same position. You do not know how the training goes or if Guardiola have promised them games. So saying you know how Iheanacho feels is far fetched.

TheGoodJoe:

What about respecting a coach who pulled the plug on Aubameyang's deal to keep Iheanacho as the number two striker. Was that not enough faith? Iheanacho will get to play because of that. Yet, you are using vegetable for a player who is seeing games at City.

TheGoodJoe:

Yes. If Ndidi was training regularly with the likes of Fernandinho, Silva and Gundogan would be better than he is now. Did you not see when I said, I see Ndidi improving at Leicester City. It is because he will work in a better environment and a coach who has experience working with top quality players.

Ranieri coached at Chelsea, Valencia, Juventus and Roma before Leicester City. I see Ranieri raising Ndidi's game.

victorazy:
Mmmm I will give my girlfriend
Afterall she maybe has been yashing another guy at my back.

What is the diff btw olosho and nawadays gf that I won't sacrifice for grade?

comshots:
No be him dey tab mourhino and hail conte for giving him regular play time? Mikel na short 10.Make mourhino no sign am.

TheGoodJoe:
We should praise Puel for another coach taking a team Puel took to fourth position to first. Puel finished fourth. As I said, giving team debut and academy work is not what Nacho needs. Nacho needs a coach who can teach him secrets of some of the best hitmen in the game.

lakesidepapa:
Mourinho is reportedly willing to bring Mikel to Old traford, how true is this? I hope it's not rumor

comshots:
Mikel is a short one.

TheSuperNerd:
The bolded sums it all up..... Is Leroy Sane in the same class as Kelechi?? NOOOO!!!!

What about Pablo maffeo?? NOOO WAYYY!!! THAT'S AN INSULT SEF!!!

Adarabioyo?? Angelino?? Aleix Garcia?? HELL NOOOOO!!!!!

Kelechi Iheanacho is Europe's deadliest and most clinical forward based on his goals&Assists output per minute on the field of play.

He's also a "super regular" in a super competitive SUPER EAGLES SIDE, the Nigerian National team. Haba!!!!!

All the others are not... In the UEFA Golden Boy award, He even trumped Sane in the overall rankings.

Kelechi no get mate among him fellow young guns. He's done enough and is on another level compared to them.

SIR THEGOODJOE.... Pep has no justification to dump Kelechi on the bench for five straight games especially when he is in form and has always delivered when given a chance.

A player wont really grow unless you give him a chance to show on the field what you've been grinding into him on the training ground. It's just like studying and learning in classrooms without actually getting tested in the exam halls.

What should we say then?? That until you're perfect in understanding then exams will be set for you?? Is that how schooling it?? MUST ONE BE PERFECT IN EVERYTHING BEFORE HE'S TESTED OUT THERE?? I repeat... even Messi was not perfect in everything when he got his big break at Barca!!! Heck!!! Kelechi's first professional season even trumps Messi's first professional season and Messi even played more minutes!!!! Damn!!!

I REPEAT YET AGAIN, IF THE CITYZENS LOSE KELECHI "THE ALIEN KID" IHEANACHO, IT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM IN MANY WAYS COZ THEY WILL BE LOSING A SUPER YOUNG PLAYER WHO WILL TURN OUT "WORLD-CLASS" EVENTUALLY. #Wanna bet?

Pep berra knock down that rigid, stupid philosophical bullcrap and evasive tactical reason of his and admit that Nacho is just not in his plans so that we can all know where Nacho stands in the club's future.

I RATE PEP AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TACTICAL GENIUSES IN THE GAME BUT PEP IS NOT THE ONLY COACH WHO CAN MOULD NACHO....

Heck!!! Even Pellegrini did a good job with Nacho and was more willing even with his own stubborn rigidity to drop Bony when it actually mattered and made Nacho no.2 forward.

NACHO CAN ALSO FILL IN AS AM OR RWF..... SINCE CITY HARDLY PLAY A SYSTEM THAT PERMITS AN SS.... Pep got no excuse!!! Nacho didnt dip in form....

Nacho works like a beast in training and you cant tell me he hasnt improved one or two aspects of his game all this while.... We are talking about a kid who's a fast learner!!!

PEP IS REALLY ERRING HERE WITH THE POSTER BOY OF THE CITY ACADEMY!!! HE'S EVEN THINKING OF STILL BRINGING IN A BIG WORLD CLASS PLAYER!!! POSSIBLY LIONEL MESSI!!!! IS PEP CRAZY?? IS HE FOR REAL?? What is his problem??

In Nacho, I see a super jewel and one who can outshine the greats but if pep doesnt see that then Nacho should leave. PEP ISNT THE ONLY GREAT/FANTASTIC TALENTS-MOULDING COACH AROUND.


City fans will regret it if Nacho leaves. Mark my words.

And Nacho will haunt them forever with loads of goals anytime he faces them. Even Pep's tactical genius wont stop it from happening... How do you stop a player who knows how to bury chances (half, quarter, and full) like an ice-cold assasin (in ways even Messi will be envious of) and knows how to attack space relentlessly?? What people dont seem to see is that Kelechi can be better than Messi.... The stats show that and his talents show it too.

City are about to make the biggest mistake in their history if care is not taken...... AND THAT LIKELY MISTAKE IS "LOSING IHEANACHO"

rokiatu:
What sort of dull song is that? Apart from Flavour most of these African artist sound so horrible live.

safarigirl:
Pep is trying to kill Kelechi's talent ho ha. And let me even say this, the Jesus these fans are raving about won't even last longer than Kelechi under Pep because he's black as well.

Kelechi should move in January cuz he can't continue like this till the end of the season. Pep can eat his silly football knowledge, who e don epp?

Kelechi isn't Sane, nor Maffeo or Angelino, so he shouldn't be compared to people who can't even make the roster for their National teams, he's a first teamer for us and it is imperative he gets game time.

joseph1013:
I still maintain that Pep is not being fair with Kelechi at City. The only backup striker you have has not played five games in a row. WTH!

Interestingly, even City fans are saying this:u are on point

TheGoodJoe:

If based on his growth, I believe he will gain more working with the likes of Barcelona. But, he will not get the playing time people crave. That is the point.

This is the time for education. People who want Nacho to leave City want playing time. Some suggested Bournemouth. That is where I have a problem.

For Mr Ayeni and his colleagues to have initially made a deposit of 100M naira cheque and promised to pay the rest and never did . Then he must repatriate the balance to the bank . Most of these banks deal on stolen funds from govt officials. Too bad .. he needs to be re arrested !!!
