How I describe Nacho sums it all up.... He's a No.10/No.9 Super Hybrid. An AMF who can play comfortably as an SS and a ST/CF.

A No.10 who can finish better than most no.9s. His finishing ranks among the top two of his many wonderful attributes, the other is His "Vision"

A Super Hybrid "Forward" who's naturally endowed with the characteristics of an AMF (no.10) and RWF but is also a keen operator as a no.9, a false 9 and a support striker.

Look, Pep Guardiola better not turn a blind eye to Nacho's international games for Nigeria. He better look into how Nacho sets up also in the Super Eagles.

Nacho will score loads of goals playing behind the striker for Nigeria. His Vision, quick thinking, and finishing are world class. Pep berra not limit him to just the "aguero role" coz Nacho offers much more than Aguero as an all-round forward.

I don talk my own. I dey watch Pep and the man city midfielders in 3D and HD.

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola knows Nacho can play that role but as a striker, Iheanacho gets to touch on his attributes when he drops deep.

When he gets into the scoring positions regularly as a top striker, Manchester City Gets him using his best ability finishing.

City also has Silva, Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne who can play the AMF role. Guardiola secured that spot as a top striker for Nacho when he turned down the Chace if signing Aubameyang. Nacho must take the opportunities that comes his way.

TheGoodJoe:


Agbo has signed a four-year contract with Watford but he can only move to England if he has played 25 games or records 75% of
international games with Nigeria.

This is the rule I tried pointing out that I feel Guardiola wants to use to secure a work permit for Chidi Nwakali.

Go C. Nwakali.

tbaba1234:
Chinedu Obasi scores in sweden again... If not for injurues, i thought this guy would have been sensational.

TheSuperNerd:
But Nacho is taking his opportunities naa.... Or isn't he? He's been consistently doing so and Pep can't seem to allow the kid play 90mins for once in the EPL in his tenure.

The time is fast coming and is indeed now when Nacho should chase Aguero outta City. Nacho is hotter than Kun now. I don't care if kun scores against barca. Nacho is hotter.

To score 4goals in 4 consecutive matches for Nigeria no be beans especially when you consider the gulf in class between man city and Nigeria.

When Nacho scores for Man City, people say, it's because he's surrounded by top players all round. But he keeps doing so even for Nigeria.... And Man City has better players.

Abeg.... If Pep wanna be fair, then the case of Messi and Ronaldinho is what I see repeating in the case of Iheanacho and Aguero.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah... I have no doubt that Pere and Pep are up to something on Chidiebere.

Man City only has Fernandinho there. An Aleix Garcia is another option as fernando doesn't fit in at all... but I expect C. Nwakali to provide keen competition for or even displace Aleix Garcia at Man City.

TheGoodJoe:


This is Guardiola's first season with Nacho. He will work on Nacho's personal development as a footballer. When once he gets Nacho to where he wants, Nacho will become explosive.

Guardiola feels there is more for Aguero who is one of the best attackers in the World to learn. Imagine the knowledge Guardiola wants to pass to Nacho.

We should give the coach time. What we need to take away from Yesterday's game is that when Guardiola set up his team yesterday, Nacho was part of the team. Apart from not scoring, Nacho had a good game.

I believe the yesterday's team would cope better against a pressing Tottenham Hotspur. In such position, Nacho would score loads.

TheGoodJoe:


Aleix Garcia is a good promising player but C. Nwakali is miles ahead of him. C. Nwakali as you say is a top replacement for Fernandinho. I can not wait to watch him play for City.

TheGoodJoe:
Release him how?

BascoVanVeli:


Let him express himself, like release him of the leash he has him on.

TheSuperNerd:
Well.... It's okay for now shaa.... I get you. Your points are well put. But I still dey observe in 3D and HD.....

Coz by the time, 2017 comes around, I expect to see Nacho in the top 3 as a major contender for the CAF APOTY Award. He's that good and that ready even with lots to learn (which he shall learn anyway).

TheSuperNerd:
Isaac "The Beast" Success with his sweet twistings and mesmerising turnings and beautiful footwork art...... Chaaaiiiii.... Nna eh!!!! What a player!!!

Best player on the pitch by several miles... Abeg, Vic Moses and Isaac Success for Battle of Uyo biko. Zambia were lucky these two didn't even show up due to minor injuries.

So excited!

TheSuperNerd:
It will throw-up another whirlwind of heated competition in Nigeria's midfield should Chidiebere Nwakali returns to the Etihad and start making his mark(s).

terzurum5:

I can't believe you just banked on ''The Bench Warmer'' issue to show your hatred for Mikel Obi.


If you were the Coach of the Super Eagles, would you drop a Mikel, who has just found his form for a new player that has not been tested in a high profile match like that of the Algerians?


Who then will you suggest is ready to bench Mikel in the present Super Eagle?

Ajagun?

Loooolllll..... Egbon no vex for am. Loollll... Na slip of fingers...

Me sef rate Solanke highly. The lad is another super talent. #fact.

Bia this man....

Wetin carry Mikel Obi enter your comments again? Which one be "Mikel Obi.... Chaii"??

Take ya tym oooo...... U no read where Rohr say "exceptions" dey? Abeg.... Mikel na untouchable for Super Eagles now. #fact

Hey I think the 3-4-3 could be our answer, both watford and chelsea use it and it seems to work both had clean sheets.
---------------Ikeme

Omuero-----Ekong---------Balogun

Moses--------------------------Moses
-----------Onazi-----Mikel

Iheanacho Success Iwobi

TheGoodJoe:


We play an open attacking football system which allows players to express themselves. Nacho plays as a false 9 where he is allowed to drop deep and switch wings with players.

I think the freedom he has is okay. It is up to Nacho to keep working hard and improving as a player.

He needs to learn the art of skipping past players with ease and unleashing shots in impossible to score situations. This is where he needs work.

Everton players knew he was deadly and hardly gave him a chance to shoot in the box.

I do not think that is Guardiola's doing.

CHELSEA BOSS CONTE HAILS 'FANTASTIC'
VICTOR MOSES




Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has again praised Victor Moses after he scored from his new wing-back position in a convincing 3-0 home win over Leicester.


Victor Moses scored in the 80th minute before he was replaced by fellow Nigerian Olaoluwa Aina two minutes later.


“When I arrived at Chelsea I told the club I
wanted to see Victor in pre-season because I
knew him very well and I knew about his great
potential. He played well as a winger when we
were playing with a 4-2-4,” Conte said after the
game.


“He’s a very good player, now he’s playing as a
wing-back and it’s fantastic because he pays
great attention in defence and can go one against one in attack.


“Alonso always played this role but Moses is a
winger. His education is fantastic. I’m pleased for him.


“If someone shows they deserve to play I have no problem, I don’t care about the surname.”

AIG07:
was thinking d same.
But I'll prefer A. Musa for S. Moses in that set up.

We don get stars but na d formation wey go accomodate dem remain now.

Who do you think should be d third man to complement Ekong-Balogun in a 3-man defence?

goldfish80:

Yes, I have personally watched him play and am not excited by the level of his technique.
Sometimes he plays like a battering ram,like Emile Heskey.
Players like that score plenty goals in youth set ups because they grew bigger than their mates, hence they use their physical advantage to score loads of goals in the youth sides, but when they graduate to the senior set-up they are found out because they meet their match physically.
People like Anichebe, chucks Aneke, even Agbonlahor had this advantage, we can see where they are now.

If Solanke does not refine his technique, am afraid he will have a very ordinary career.

CSKA MOSCOW TO RE-SIGN AHMED MUSA IF
LEICESTER MOVE FLOPS





Russian champions CSKA will be willing to re-sign Nigeria star Ahmed Musa should his big-money move to Leicester City crash.


Ahmed Musa reportedly cost the Premier League champions 18 million pounds in the summer when he joined up from the Russian army club.


However, the Nigeria winger has yet to explode in the Premier League as widely expected as
Leicester have also struggled to match the run
they chalked up last season.


“Ahmed is still loved and highly rated at CSKA,
where he played for five seasons and there are
strong indications that should he for any reason
fail to shine in England, they will be only too
happy to resign him,” a source close to the
forward revealed.


The 24-year-old Nigeria star, who has been
nominated for the CAF African Footballer of the
Year 2016, has made five appearances in the
Premier League for ‘The Foxes’ with only two
starts and has yet to find the back of the net.
Leicester City are 13th on the table, while CSKA
are second on the table in Russia with 21 points
from 10 matches, a point behind leaders Spartak Moscow.

Hmmm.....

This could work. It really could work...

Simon Moses on the left? Hmm... Why not Ahmed Musa?

Well, The 3-4-3 is a very interesting system. Our Wingback picks will have to be up-and-doing.

Vic moses can do it on the right. Who will do it on the left? Musa or Simon....

Then that wicked front three.... Hmmm.... It's a possibility. I don't know if Rohr has 3-4-3 as one of his "wild" formation options based on our talents and all.
