Mickael2:
I guess I made a mistake with the words I choose. He may have the required pace(although I doubt that sha) but he does not strike me as someone who can run continously for 90mins, he still has a lot of work to do on his stamina before he can play there. I can almost bet 100k that Navas will be a sure starter. He is just the exact replica of Pedro, he provides maximum width on the wings and he covers a lot of ground. Sterling should start looking for a club.

And Gundogan, he is out injured, but his injury is not the kind that will take much time to heal neither is it a reccuring injury. Before the start of the season he will be a sure starter. Nasri has disciplinary issues just like Ibrahimovic so I doubt if he will make it there, no matter his talents

The boy runs for 90mins. He is always on the move, his off the ball movements draws defenders out of position and creates space for his team mates. That's why he is always popping up in different places to tap in goals. He also tracks back to defend that takes a lot of movement and stamina and his pace is not bad.

You Sir have hardly watched Nacho's games. He runs for 90 mins?! Whoever told you that, even in the U17, Yahaya was doing the work for him. I didn't argue about the pace much though he clearly isn't as fast as Navas for example but okay. And he hardly defends. He stands in the center circle as the first line of his teams press, that's all he does, he is not like Bale who can chase his man all the way to his post, please, you made it sound as if Nacho is the perfect footballer ever, he has his flaws

Siasia blames jet lag for loss in Korea

Nigeria Olympic team coach Samson Siasia

Nigeria U23 team coach Samson Siasia has blamed fatigue caused by the long trip to Korea for their 1-0 loss to the home team on the opening day of the Suwon Invitational Tournament.

The African champions lost to an 86th minute goal scored by South Korea's Choi Kyubaek from a free kick which caught the Nigerian defence –line ball watching.

They play against Denmark, 4-3 winners over Honduras, in their next game on Saturday.

Siasia said his players were not able to play their game as they were still suffering from jet lag occasioned by the long flight from Abuja.

"The flight didn't help matters, but then that is not an excuse for us not getting at least a point from this game,” he said.

"The goal scored by the Koreans was made possible because my players were adopting offside tactics; I don't know where they got that idea from as we have never kept offside in all our trainings and games."

He added: “I am happy the NFF did everything to make us come for this competition as it has exposed the boys to see things from a bigger perspective, even though I wanted us to win this game to boost our confidence.

“The boys now know that they have to sit up in the other games."

[quote author=Mickael2 post=46199888]I honestly doubt that. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised if Nacho is no longer a starter there. He either learns how to play as a lone striker in 4-3-3 or he will be dropped. Pep works with one true winger and one inverted winger, just like he was using Pedro at Barca then and let's be honest Pedro isn't the best, so also he will use Jesus Navas as that true winger. Who he will play in the david villaesque role still remains hidden, he may purchase someone to play there or he can just shift Aguero off(I swear I don't know why people rate that guy so high, guy is crap when it matters) but Iheanacho? No. He does not have that blistering pace and his one on one dribbling skills aren't so great. So his best bet is that Pep will play a forward line of Aguero-Nacho-Navas(Navas is a sure bet I can assure you) with Nacho as the false 9 nothing else to it. And Silva will play, Debruyne will hardly suit Pep's tactics. This is a position where Iniesta and Thiago played for him, now the semblance there is that both of them can move out wide and play as false wingers with good dribbling ability when the inverted winger moves into the box and well, Debruyne tried to play as a side midfielder against Madrid and he failed there, he used to play there for Wolfsburg but the requirements back then were not so tough compared to now, and Nacho...I doubt if he can play as a midfielder again. Gundogan will certainly be a starter the primary issue now is who their DMF will be because Fernando and Fernandinho? Bros make we leave that one till tomorrow[/quote
,......................................,........................................................
.

Bro Costa and Ribery that's two inverted na
Bro Navas as a true winger how? I have a feeling Guardiola might be reserving navas for right back
De bruyne and sterling( till Sane or any other good winger/forward is bought) will likely start either side of aguero, guardiola doesn't use conservative players that can't go further than their position he will rather shift them back like mascherano, martinez, bernat + he is a big fan of debruyne and already named him in his 3 starters along with aguero and Silva.
Don't be surprised to see gundogan playing in front of the defence as Alonso does for Bayern, fernandinho would be loved for his versatility right back today center back tommorow and dmf when guardiola wants to be cautious.
he doesn't dispose of young players he will give sterling his chance and try to improve him
Iheanacho will learn how to press and his suppressed dribbling skill will be brought back to life.

Iwobi is not as fast as Theo Walcott but Arsene Wenger picks him over Theo.

By the way, Iheanacho is a workaholic. That one is confirmed. That is something he has clearly picked from Aguero. Especially, when he drops deep to give the midfield fluidity.

Sergio Aguero

One of the best forwards in the world. His finishing is ruthless, his movement is impeccable and his aggression is phenomenal. Okay, Mike Tyson he is not, but a world-class forward he certainly is.

Aguero is City’s attack pretty much. Anytime City are firing on all cylinders, he’s at the heart of it. Oh, and his last-minute goal against QPR to win City the Premier League wasn’t bad either. Comfortably the best striker in English football.
http://realsport101.com/sir-alex-ferguson-is-right-there-are-only-three-world-class-players-in-the-premier-league/

At the other end, Sergio Aguero’s name was raised. And it’s hard to argue that the Manchester City hitman is not among the world’s most deadly centre-forwards.

Aguero’s title as world class doesn’t need to be debated.

On the offensive, making runs off the ball but he needs to add more to his pressing he cant be everything sha,
But to succeed under guardiola you need to press a lot
Against Egypt there was little of it and in the U20s that was why he was benched by bulbwa who is a workaholic but by far less talented, that's what manu called "doing big boy". Even Silva self will have to press more.

Let a bigger club than City come and buy the Bulbwa before Nacho. All those talk Manu Garba said about Nacho is what I call Story for the gods.

Most of our weaknesses came from the defence and not Iheanacho. How many times has Pellegrini and his Academy coaches complained of Iheanacho's defending?

Did you notice that Coach Manu Garba did not criticise The goalkeeper who was the worst offender on the pitch? That was just an excuse to drop the best player on the team.

He did not blame the sloppy defence that conceded 4. He did not blame the Goalkeeper for making two clear errors. It was forming big boy that was his problem.

Iheanacho's football ethics is very good. That is why he started in some games for City. Pellegrini is strict on defensive team work and he would not play Iheanacho if Iheanacho was a liability.

Before we argue try and analyse guardiola s style of play and its requirements, recover the ball in 6 seconds it takes a lot of pressing a whole new level from pelegrini and from the whole team charging down defenders, he has the quality to be but it is not visible in his game, u might say the coaches he is playing with aren't demanding it of him, I raised manu issue because its clear manu wanted pressing that's wat saviour and bulbwa were doing. Man u made terrible decisions as for the keeper em no try. bulbwa and saviour no sabi will not stop us from making clear observations.if he continues his progression as a CF (9) he might mask it after all lewy doesn't press much but in any other position he will av to press like mad.

I know a lot about Guardiola's system. The first time I watched and enjoyed pressing at high pace was Rijkaard's Barcelona.

If you want to point out a quote on Iheanacho not being good defensively, leave Manu Garba. That is what I am saying. That Criticism was filled with bias. Even one of the coaches said If Iheanacho is as good as we claim, how come he is not starting for City.

As for defensive contributions, whoscored rated him strong. So he is not weak. Whoscored is a top rated source.

By the way, why rate him on pressing, when Pellegrini prefers his team to defend behind the ball compactly when they lose the ball. So most times, you find our players falling back than pressing.

When Pep wants Nacho to press, he will press. Remember his third goal against Aston Villa in the Capital one cup? Iheanacho scored that goal because of his pressure on the defence.

I understand what you mean but pressing is not the defending philosophy of Pellegrini. I do not see Iheanacho not meeting up with Guardiola's philosophy. Remember when Nacho was Younger, Txiki, our technical director sent Iheanacho to Barcelona to train with some of their coaches there. Iheanacho already knows a lot about Barcelona's philosophy. He is also a Barcelona fan and watched lots of Guardiola's games. He will meet up.

It is awesome news. Porto and Youth players development are like 5&6.

Musa Yahaya is the most skillful of them all from that Super Class of 2013.

But Iheanacho's skillful nous is still present. If you watched the Luxembourg game in full, you will see that Nacho hasn't lost his skillful funk... wink

I laugh and prefer to keep quiet when people say stuffs like, "Nacho has lost his creativity...". What Rubbish talk!!!!

He was threading through passes for fun in that Luxembourg game.... that is why one of the guys on cyber eagles forum said, " Iheanacho is the best throughball passer we have".... while Iwobi is the best for defence splitting passes (even though Nacho excels here too)

The way he started the counter for the last goal and skillfully teed up Ighalo reminded me of a young Messi who once is on a counter is as good as scoring or creating a goal.

Nacho doesn't express himself much with the ball at Man City because of the CF role which he mostly plays. But we do see bits of his trickery when coming from deep as a SS or wing forward (cutting into central areas).
Nacho pops up in various positions across the Man City attack which is why at some point in one game he is more direct or may apply trickery or decide to thread a killer pass... He's more than a striker or centre forward.

Nacho may play as a striker but he remains a hybrid in his approach to the game. That's why he's kinda difficult to mark. He's always switching positions in attack.

I am so happy with Yahaya's move. It is even He, Nacho, Iwobi, and Success I wanna see as the central quadruple.

With Moses Simon a sub.... But it's all good for our football. The New Golden Generation is surely rising... wink

Actually I did watch the game live. There is a big difference between tracking back and what he was doing in that game. Madrid were the better team and City were playing a conservative game, he was playing behind the striker there and Aguero wasn't going to push back since he is the main threat. When you truly want to judge, watch his game against Crystal Palace when he scored a hattrick, or watch his game against Southampton, he hardly returns more than the center cirlce.

Meanwhile I am not arguing about his off-the-ball movements. Clearly he has that trait in his DNA and he is quite good at it, but off-the ball movement is not thesame as tracking back if that's what you mean.

Then you don't know the first thing about Guardiola. You should probably read the assesment made by Henry. He clearly said that Guardiola expects you to maintain a rigid formation until you get to the final third of the pitch. If you watch Bayern's games from last season, you will notice that their wingers will stay entirely out wide until the get close to the box, then they can dance around or do whatever they want and that's where I am afraid Debruyne won't work. He is more like a hybrid between a winger and a midfielder so that's not rigidity, and am not sure that Guardiola ever said that he will be a starter there please send me a link since it isn't even on google.

Tell me one good defender they have! Taiwo? Onuoha? I think they also came with Bassong then. Yeah, he scored 16goals in 17 games, none against Leichester, none against Tottenham, how many against Arsenal? How many against Manu? There is a reason why Man City had the worst record against the top 6 teams and that's because their starman did not deliver then, and Yaya is now too old to cover for him when it matters

Then you don't know the first thing about Guardiola. You should probably read the assesment made by Henry. He clearly said that Guardiola expects you to maintain a rigid formation until you get to the final third of the pitch. If you watch Bayern's games from last season, you will notice that their wingers will stay entirely out wide until the get close to the box, then they can dance around or do whatever they want and that's where I am afraid Debruyne won't work. He is more like a hybrid between a winger and a midfielder so that's not rigidity, and am not sure that Guardiola ever said that he will be a starter there please send me a link since it isn't even on google.

That wasn't an official statement by Guardiola na. That's just an assumption made by someone. I can sit right here and say that Guardiola rates Sterling higher than Aguero, but Guardiola didn't say that. Skysports even wrote a similar piece where they said Sterling is one of the best talents in City that Pep want's to work with. It's all just assumptions

Injuries reduced his goal stats and penalties inflated it. Do you know how many penalties he has scored this season? For me he is no where near the best strikers in this planet, my top 10 would be:
1) Suarez clearly
2) Benzema, quite underated
3) Lewandowski, enough said
4) Aubeumeyang, wrong spelling
5) Griezman, underated too
6) Higuain, underated
7) Zlatan, enough said
Kane, a little raw but ok

You are making blasphemous statements. If you read one of the articles I posted, the author stated, Aguero’s World Class status is not debatable. All you are doing is wasting time.

You are arguing what does not hold. How can you even compare or list Benzema over Aguero.?

From 2009 until today, Benzema has scored 111 goals in 215 games.

From 2011, two years later, Aguero has scored 102 goals in 150 games in an EPL many argue is harder to score than the La Liga.

Benzema is not up to Aguero’s level. If Aguero says he wants to join Real Madrid today, Benzema will bench.

Aguero is World Class that is the truth. Do not debate against the truth.

Aguero played

30 matches, scored 24 goals, 20 Non-Penalty goals and 4 Penalty goals.

As I said, the young man is World Class.

Injury is the only reason Aguero isn’t clear at the top of the charts. He has missed seven games this season, scoring at a rate of a goal every 97 minutes, compared to 125 for Kane and 135 for Vardy.

He has the best conversion rate of the three and scores more varied goal types: he leads this season’s Premier League – perhaps surprisingly – both for goals scored from outside the area and headed goals, with five of each.

Both he and Kane shoot extremely frequently, but Aguero has greater propensity to score a few times in one game – he is the only Premier League player with two hat-tricks this season.
