let just hope 4 d best. guardiola likes d boy, we could all see dat but doesn't mean he can displace him. guardiola likes gotze nd bench d polish guy @ first but later, he had no choice but 2 play lewandowskil due 2 his all round contribution. nacho jst av 2 improve more 2 compete wit d favoured one and should take his chances wen called upon by like d chances he miss in one on one situation against Burnley b4 been ship out 4 kun

TheGoodJoe:

Gabriel Jesus missed one on one yesterday too.

peterd53:
@ least he is pep boy, let nacho play his way in becoming pep favourite. this kind of scenario happens during pep reign @ barca. he likes thiago alot dat he always play's cesc up front just 2 create space 4 thiago in d middle of d park.

I always believe in giving coaches what they want. If Guardiola wants Gabriel Jesus because of some of his attributes, let him have it.

I was always after Nacho understanding the philosophy of Pep and improving on playing it. He has improved massively and I see Nacho improving more working hard in training.

As long as Pep's love child is at City, Nacho will get limited chances. So, leaving seems the only option.

Nacho should keep working his socks off until he gets a fair run of games to show what he is made off.

TheGoodJoe:

Yes he does. Guess he works hard to keep himself healthy and fit.

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola still signed Moreno who will soon join the club. So there is limited chances.

peterd53:
if nacho works harder in training, I am sure, he will be given a chance. I wouldn't b surprise if nacho is latter given d role of muller in d next few month wenever his defense is strong enough 2 av a 3 back line. hopefully wit kompany back in d team 2 add more stability. I don't think guardiola will want 2 lose a willing and hard working nacho

lakesidepapa:
I'm still expecting the proposed 3 forwards line of Sane Nacho Gabby.

If Guardiola loses him, he will come and hunt him/man city.

peterd53:
I don't av an idea who d guy is. is he also a foward nd which club does he play 4?

TheGoodJoe:

Manchester City have stolen a march in the pursuit of Colombian wonderkid Marlos Moreno.

A host of Europe’s elite sides - including Manchester United and Benfica - are chasing 19-year-old Moreno, who scored his first international goal at this month’s Copa America.

City held positive discussions with his club, Atletico Nacional, and are understood to have agreed a fee of around £8million for the winger.

He plays a similar style to Gabriel Jesus.

peterd53:
not all dz signing will excel under pep. I can guarantee u dat he will be loan out immediately after his medical just lyk wat happen wif kerrison @ barca

TheGoodJoe:

Unlike Kerrison, Moreno has a rising profile and already drew lots of interest. He is expected in the summer and I expect him getting preference too.

dat is if things didn't change b4 d season runs out

peterd53:
hopefully it will work, but don't exclude sterling, he is pep favorite @ city nd most of all an english player. nacho,sane and gabby will battle 4 d two spot remaining

TheGoodJoe:

If Guardiola maintained his discipline of Keeping Gabriel on the wings, it would have been different. As soon as he slotted him in nine, the picture changed. Nacho is now third or maybe fourth choice because Guardiola is talking of Nolito now as one of the strikers. Seems to me he wants to create room for Nolito there.

Iheanacho can learn the Barca recipe this season but I think a move, not loan will give him room to show his quality.

TheGoodJoe:


After the shocker Sterling had against Tottenham Hotspur, I did not expect him to start in this game. I expected Gabriel Jesus on the left because Guardiola said he sees him as a winger. If Guardiola wanted to play Gabriel upfront all along, I would have considered Nacho on the right. I feel he is most deadly coming from the right. His goal for Nigeria from the corner kick build-up, his goal against Tottenham last season and I think Southampton.

With Sane on the left, Gabby in Nine and Nacho on the right would still work. Unfortunately, Guardiola wants Sterling to shine and opted to play him on the right.

It is clear Guardiola has special interest in Sterling despite his lifestyle. Gabriel is also in that bracket. Sane had to fight his way into the team.

My heart goes to Nolito who chose us over Barcelona and yet he is not getting games. It is a tough one. I expect another clear out in the Summer and I expect Nacho to leave too.

peterd53:
well d next few weeks will tell if he is still in d pan or not

Mickael2:
so if Nacho has the better finishing abilities and the better decision making how does Gabby fit into pep's philosophy more? I know Pedro, Villa even Xavi, Muller and the whole lot of them only had these two attributes to perfection and they fitted right in. How many skilful players have you seen under pep? Apart from Messi, none of his centre forwards have been that skilful. Even his centre forward for barca B wasn't skilful, Lewandowski and all of them, the experts we have in here are just... wow

lakesidepapa:
Gabby is better in some aspects while Nacho is better in some aspects. It's clear!

Do u knw what u're saying bro? He fits more into pep philosophy? I'm not sure u knw Nacho! I'm not sure u knw the Pep's philosophy u're talking about, Maybe another Pep's Phils that we don't knw here

zoboizee:
Guys, can someone tell them in NFF that not every player that made the headlines in England of Nigerian descent they should be clamouring to call up to the NT. At the moment, to the best of my knowledge only injured Moses Odubajo & young Tammy Abraham are worthy of call ups to our NT. They have the potentials/ qualities needed in the Super Eagles for now. As for the rest, we have better local substitute.

On Iheanacho
Sane, Stirling, Debruyne, Navas, & Gabriel are considered on the wings because of their skill, pace, vision, & of course, good first touch. Even Aguero can play on the wings. Kelechi will need to polish his game with skillful moves, deft first touch & also work on his right foot like obafemi martins to be considered for more than just a "clinical finisher" because dats is d only thing Pep says about him. Look at Success, ighalo, ideye or Osaze, they can operate from the wings or centre largely due to their pace & skills.

zoboizee:
For their standards i guess, he has to. Otherwise what we are seeing will remain the case. He his competing against players with good qualities. If the coach cant find alternative role for you due to competition then bench or out of the squad. Can't you see what Iwobi is enjoying in Arsenal or was Success a winger at the U17?

lakesidepapa:
There are lots of competition in this team, too much players playing same roles. They need to work it out and each everyone of them must prove themselves. We just focus on Nacho-Gabby.

Kelechi need to work it out more and prove himself, if he can still hold on his finishing pedal and do the right thing, it will be better. But the greatness is him, he will shine at anywhere he goes to.

edi287:
Yeah Nacho is the next Messi...we already know. Why is Pep playing Sterling and De bruyne as false 9s if Nacho fits his Philosophy as well as you say??
