Most Nigerian watching City's match don't care if City win or lose as long as Iheanacho score |

Iheanacho 12goals with 19shot on target - incredible |

we'll iheanacho scored but dude needs to improve on his touches... goals are somehow overhyped... |

krattoss:True, I watched the game and it's like he is always running away from the ball 'outside the box' by staying very close the opponent where there is pressure, maybe he knows he has poor touches. Aguero would be back for the next game and he might not get the chance to build on this goal. Anyway I wish his goodluck. |

He could've gotten a brace if Uncle Davies no block my guy shine. Anyway, I'm glad he repaid my faith cuz he's in my FPL line-up ![]() |

krattoss:Football is all about scoring goals. |

krattoss:Really? So there are other ways to win matches apart from goals? ![]() |

denniece1:That is how the coach wanted him to play, he can still come off the bench and score more goals. Honestly I believe Pep wants Nacho, he would never mention Messi to a player he sees as average. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by zicky(m): 8:25pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
krattoss:as long as the poor touch keep giving him goals he's good to go. But I really don't see any Guardiola coaching input into Iheanacho games abi the whole city players. You could see how Hull city took over a midfield with bryne, Silva and Yaya |

safarigirl:I don't believe someone would say Goals are overhype, Like what's the aim of playing football why would grown up men run after a round leather for 90mins. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by safarigirl(f): 8:34pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
zicky:azzin, you will never understand the beauty of goals until you sit through 90 minutes of a goalless match. All the dribbling and tiki-taka in this world cannot replace the beauty of goals in a football game. |

Kudos to Iheanacho getting his goal. Great Speed again from the youngster. That is growing into his biggest attribute. The run from midfield to get to that position to score was impressive. Still brilliant when he drops into the midfield to connect the balls. Great when he gets chances to score. Impressive development was one of the balls Iheanacho got in the air. That was an impressive leap. Another was a wing move on the left which was fine. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:43pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
Biggest challenge for Iheanacho is that he does not like the pressure. He makes mistakes in his touches when defenders are around him, although that improved during the game. Seeing Guardiola wants Iheanacho moving constantly to make it difficult for the defenders to mark him. Props to the youngster. His injection into the team gave us a different dimension to our game. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:44pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
We should watch for Iheanacho making more runs with the ball. That is what Leroy Sane, Kevin De Bruyne, Aguero and Sterling have over Iheanacho. I see the young man working hard and improving on it. Key attribute Guardiola wants from his forwards. |

TheGoodJoe:that s why d no 9 role s not s natural position. We might not c d best of nacho in dat role. Leave it or take t. |

safarigirl:Your team on FPL lemme start to dey disturb you ![]() Pep knows what he's doing with kelechi, he may not be in the starting line up ,but he's definitely in his plan ... |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by fredoooooo: 9:03pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
krattoss:Agreed he needs to improve many things as a young player but remember every player is unique in their own special way ...INZAGHI comes to mind ... Goals is the beauty of the game o , a quality pass or dribbling without a goal is useless |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by safarigirl(f): 9:05pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
fredoooooo:omo, the team get as e be, I no go lie Courtois na GK Koscielny, Azpilicueta, Monreal and Walker na DF Antonio, Lallana, Moses and Pogba MF Iheanacho and Kane FW How your own team dey? |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:07pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
AIG07: Iheanacho can play the nine role. His finishing is superb. What Guardiola is working on is improving him. Making him develop in other areas of the game. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by AIG07: 9:12pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
TheGoodJoe:*Smiles* though I didn't watch d match. D way u 're portraying Pep's input in nacho's dev is something else... You mean all those techniques he displayed were lesson from Pep..? Baba, Nacho is no rookie wen t comes to football. even a secondary Sch boy who lacks a pep-like coach will do dem wit ease... I personally, haven't seen any special input made by pep in nacho's game. He was even far better during Pelle's reign... |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:20pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
AIG07: Unless you believe two and a half hours a day practicing winning aerial duels is what every school boy does, then special training have effects. There is talent, hard work and then specialized training. That is what Iheanacho is going through. Working hard under specialized training. Look at the brilliance Yaya controls the midfield now. I have never seen him that way all my life. Are you saying we should not attribute that to Guardiola and his coaching crew? |

safarigirl:First timer ? ... what's the team name ? .. I've not been doing so well this season .. most part of the season it has been on auto pilot .. Hope I can do better from now on .. The Godfathers. .. |

safarigirl:Was busy too busy at the beginning of the season and another person is in charge... but I will take over now |

TheGoodJoe:@Sir. TheGoodJoe, I'm not taking anything away from pep. He is an amazing coach that has won so many laurels, 'brought out' d best out f players as a result of improving d general team play in a way that best suit some certain players... As good as training could be it only contributes a share percentage to a footballer's dev. Most coaches focus n lay emphasis on team chemistry(trying out various formations, patterns etc) than individual dev. during trainings. In leu f dis, Individual player's improvement comes from d time de spend on d pitch during competitive matches. You can't compare d intensity of a match to training where players are instructed on what to do, whom to, n how to handle balls n mostly done lightly wit cautions so as to avoid injuries. The decline ppl c in rashford n martial(sevilla don de plan loan move for im sef) is as a result of lack of game time. And d first thing t takes away from a young player which nacho falls to is CONFIDENCE. |

AIG07:Watch Otamendi lately, there is personal improvement of each player. This is something that is easily noticeable. Iheanacho recently talked about Guardiola making him study Messi and Lewandowski. He says and he works on what he notices in training. Is that for team Chemistry? The two and a half hours aerial drills, is it for team chemistry? What of Messi who Guardiola changed his diet and sleeping plans? Is that for team chemistry? Training is not just for team chemistry but also individual development. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:14pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
AIG07: “According to my style of playing, he is one of the managers that have helped me most in my career. Despite (my form) in the Premier League, and my last season at Atletico, I’ve improved in my game near the box and scoring goals.".. Aguero. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:18pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
AIG07: Game time is not an excellent criteria for development. We saw Iwobi drop in form despite having lots of game time. Ighalo dropped form despite lots of game time. Development comes mostly from hard work in training. Spending hours on the training field horning your skills improves a player more than ninety minutes intensity. Preparation is key. Confidence will not improve the way a player controls the ball or passes it. It takes long drills. |
| Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 10:26pm On Dec 26, 2016 |
AIG07:"He (Lewandowski) is the most professional player I have ever met," said Guardiola, ahead of Bayern's German Cup quarter-final at second-division Bochum on Wednesday. "In his head, he thinks about the right food, sleep and training: 24 hours a day. "He is always there, never injured, because he focuses on these things. "He always knows what is important to be in the best condition." There is more to training than teamwork and tactics. A lot goes into keeping the players at top conditions, trainkng their intelligence and developing their skills.
