Excuse for celebrating o, whatever you guys try and opine, giving slacks to his teammates and not even tryna grant Nacho same is just a waste of analysis


that was embarassing-simple

it makes him look like a loner-simple

it made him look like he wasnt repping City-simple

the crowd arent the one deciding the game, the teammates are-simple

Nacho wasted time-we can understand that

but its not enough reason to say that city felt he was wasting time. Isnt it the same city that decided Epl in dying minutes when Taye Taiwo couldnt stop Aguero?

So why make him look like he is to take blame.

All of you shouting that he should grow up, pls just put yourself in his shoes. How would you feel when none of your teammates celebrate with you? Okay


Ronaldo and Bale have envy btw them we all know it, and they are mature enough. Yet......

Abeg joor.

If Nacho saves City in UCL now, we wont still accord him rightfully.

If its another, we'l chant praises.

Okay, why cant one of them do what Alexis did for Walcott's goal, huh?

HARDBUOI:


i have not seen where equalizer goal is not celebrated nomatter d situation thast wat i wana to tell u
equalizer goal is equalizer goal....it gives hope of winning.
ever since i started watching fooball i haven't seen it in my life

TheGoodJoe:


If Nacho headed towards the half way line, his team mates can celebrate with him without wasting time. Instead he was at the corner flag. The Cityzens joining him will only increase the time.

Theo picture says it all. You could see Ozil calling for them to get to the touchline. See Sanchez holding the ball and Theo Walcott stretching for the ball. You can celebrate without wasting time but Nacho was in his own world with all the time in the world.

HARDBUOI:


i dont agree with u...just running to the guy and pat him on d head and return wouldnt take half a minute to do

TheGoodJoe:


But, the young man should learn that he is not to go to the half way line but to the half way line.

That was the mindset of the Cityzens. They should stop heading to the half way line and start running to Nacho to celebrate?

It is not jealousy or racism.

HARDBUOI:


yes he might hv learned but the way the treated him is not the right way.
i dont kno wat u see as celebration.. it doesnt necessarily mean wasting the whole time with everybody rolling on d field.
it thats how u see it .

TheGoodJoe:


It is not just about wasting time but the mindset and psychology of the players. It shows they want to go on and win the game. Just as in the Gunners picture. Nacho's celebration shows we are happy with the equalisers. The other players did not have that mindset because they wanted to go on to win the game.

HARDBUOI:


ur analysis is very very wrong bro!..

ok after being serious with their mindset to win the did they win!?...
bliv it or not something fishy is going on among them not about time wasting...
AND GOD OF SOCCER USED THEIR CARELESS ATTITUDE TOWARDS D BOY TO PUNISH THEM...
at this juncture i rest my my case

GUY DO U EVEN KNO WAT U ARE SAYING... DID U EVEN WATCH D GAME ....WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A GOAL SCORED @75TH MINUTE THAT GAVE THEM 1-1 EQUALIZER...WHICH WILL NORMALLY GIVE ANY TEAM HOPE DAT THEY CAN STILL WIN.... BUT THEY ALL IGNORED D GUY ALONE ,IF IT WERE AGUERO THE WHOLE PLAYERS WOULD HAVE MOBBED HIM ON D GROUND WHICH U KNO VERY WELL.
WHY U SOUNDING LIKE LIKE U DONT WATCH FOOTBALL ?...

I THINK THAT WAS PURE RACISM!

Ayo25:
Well there is always a superior arguement in any debate and I believe I have the superior arguement here. I repeat that Iheanacho needs to grow up. He should start thinking in terms of the team alone and not himself. By your own logic, I will tell you that City lost the match because of Iheanacho's time wasting celebration. He did not show any sense of urgency and need to win with his team with the excessive celebrations. I am sure if the refree have permitted him, he would have celebrated the equaliser for the rest of the match by deciding to shake all the over 40,000 fans one after the other. He thinks every thing about the match is the one goal he scored and nothing else matters. He lacks a vision of a bigger picture of things. If your team is trailing and you managed to score going into the closing stages of the match, and considering you are the bigger team on paper with bigger ambitions, the right thing to do is carry the ball and run towards the halfway line, charge your team, fire up your fan's passion. That is what senior players does. Only babes like Iheanacho celebrates at the corner flag all alone. Ode.

Badosqi:
I just wrote what I saw. He was ignored quite alright but you have to state the reason behind it. The team is presently under pressure, they lost to Leicester just last week and the team is losing the tittle fight.

And what do you think they stand to gain beefing a 19year old boy.

MathsChic:


You really have tendered the best argument in this debate. Persecution complex is a thing with most Nigerians and they'd like to believe Nacho is in the same situation as they are with their friends and bosses in the office or in their homes. No case can be made or should be made for racism here. It could simply be that there's no cohesion in the team; it could also be that Nacho celebrated wrongly.

If I remember correctly, one of the goals Nacho scored in this hat trick had a penalty in it. Sterling had been fouled and wanted to take "his" penalty. Nacho also wanted in on it. Zabaletta stepped in and ordered Sterling to step back, giving Nacho the opportunity to take the penalty. Had the situation been reversed, rest assured our Nigerian siblings will ascribe Zaba's decision to racism.

I suggest you let these small-minded people be. Arguing with them is like pouring water into a sieve and expecting it to hold.

zicky:
if you call your fellow Nigerians small-minded, what will you call editor of goal.com, skysports and so many other foreign media house that keep showing that event as one of the highlights of the match, I either don't buy the racism crap bt move your eyes from the fact that mancity as a team gat issues. Some times back yaya complained of none of his team mates sending him birthday greeting, this are little things you may say bt it is this little things that bring togetherness, bond in a team.

MathsChic:

From the little i know about football, yes I agree the team may have issues. It's the racism argument I don't buy.

mart2k:
Tell us d reason or u shut up for live. Is dis d first time a player wl score without jubilation frm his team mates? Answer me pls

captainjoh:



its has become an experience for kelechi. They needed to win that match and no time. Its not every goal u celebrate, he should have pick the ball and run back that's how to celebrate that kind of a gaol. When walcot equalized in arsenal match that was what he did, and they went on to win
