Hossam El hardary just conceeded his first goal at this Afcon... It just have to be Bance.. Who else?
It's been an entertaining semifinals.
I love this Burkina babes

TheGoodJoe:


Same here. Mancini made me start supporting Manchester City. I wish he never left. Glad he is still loyal to the club. Just as you feel, I hope he one day returns.

TheSuperNerd:
Ehen!!! So Gabby Jesus don score finally....

**checks replay**

Mstchewwwww..... Tap-in... What's so special about a tap-in bikonu? I tot he's here as an upgrade.... Nacho scores tap-ins so easily.... Pep... Kontinu...


Meanwhile these burkina boys abi men dey make this match sweet wella....

Sir DaveP... Come and continue your dance to Bance....

BascoVanVeli:


That was why Siasia should have used Adi. Bance's hight was a problem for Egypt all game. I always said we needed a tall point man in order to beat them. That said i hope they lose. Like someone said na only them dey Africa?

TheGoodJoe:
Back from watching the City and Hull game. I was more interested to see why the buzz about Gabriel Jesus. I wanted to make an unbiased view.

My Verdict:

Gabriel Jesus is not worth the hype. Maybe with time working under Guardiola, he can become a formidable attacking weapon. Until then, I think the hype should reduce.

Leroy Sane outclassed Gabriel Jesus in every part of the game. Even tracking back and pressing. Leroy Sane showed far more intelligence and skill. Dribbled better and made cleaner passes.

Although Sane is longer at the club and Gabriel Jesus is still blending with the league. Until then, I hope the hype cools down.

TheGoodJoe:
Attacking wise, Iheanacho is faster than Gabriel Jesus. Iheanacho moves with far more pace from the midfield into the attack. I doubt that is a debate.

Iheanacho is a better passer. Gabriel Jesus does not look as composed as Iheanacho when he drops deep. Although he made some electric passes earlier in the game.

Gabriel Jesus can not press as hard as Iheanacho. Sane had to cover him in doing a lot of that. Something that hardly happens when Nacho attacks for City.

Iheanacho has more stamina and plays with more intensity.

As for finishing. With what we have seen in the last few games, Nacho is ahead of Gabriel Jesus in finishing.

Lazyerudite:

This was why I did not fancy Cameroon's tactics, they can't score and if they concede early that would be more problems unlike Egypt. They defend well and hit you on the counter now that is strong. Not to underestimate cameroon but their lack of scoring is an issue. One a simple attack minded average side can deal with, unlike the Egyptians

Seems Guys here are Pained, Your Biased is clearly visible all over this Post.

Gabriel Jesus Pressing was what even impressed me. Better than Aguero IMHO.

Most People will not Agree but he is Clearly Better than Nacho who i rate a lot.

TheGoodJoe:
Where Gabriel Jesus clearly stands out from Iheanacho is his work rate to retrieve the ball. He clearly wins the ball more than Iheanacho but... Later in the game, Sane did that even more than him and worked harder.

Maybe, that is what Guardiola wants, an attacker who can defend.

Also, Gabriel Jesus gets himself involved in the game more than Nacho. He drops to the midfield and the wins at a faster rate.

Sorry but can you state the difference between Work rate and Pressing seems a bit confusing

safarigirl:

The guy set money finish, e no fit redeem am, imagine if na you lose bet . It is a big money in this economy mbok

TheGoodJoe:
My advice to Nacho is to reinvent himself.

I know, I know many will say, why would I advice a player I feel is better than the poster boy of Manchester City, to reinvent himself.

I want Nacho to merge the best of both Worlds he possesses. His finishing World and his creative midfield World. In the words of TheSuperNerd, HYBRID.

Nacho needs to lead the line but play more as a midfielder. That will get him more involved in the build-up plays. That is a place Gabriel Jesus shines.

Then with his brilliant pace, Nacho can meet up with the forward line and use his exceptional speed to score loads.

With this, I do not know any striker that can match up with him.

Iheanacho can become top quality by making the False nine role, the Nacho role. Just as the false nine is highly attributed to Messi.

peterd53:


alryt sir! but I can also assure u dat, pep is gonna get a cl automatic ticket (top 3) dz season.

The 20-year-old has joined La Masia from Enyimba but what exactly will he bring to the Barcelona table?

TheGoodJoe:


I hope you posted that for another and not me. I wish you can play Sane vs West Ham and see the Gulf in class. If your not doing that, you are totally missing the point of my debate.

Sane was miles better. Do you agree?

TheSuperNerd:
Just for that bolded....

Added that to make your opinion a valid "unbiased" one?? Not working Sir....

princesuko:


Miles better? He was better not Miles better. I think Jesus did what was asked of him, pressed well, tracked back,had a goal and an assist.

Don't know about you but that consistute an 8-9/10 performance.

Most people are getting touchy about Gabriel Jesus because it detriments nacho chances. But we are looking at a balon d'or prospect here.

princesuko:

Had to add that, don't want people coming for my head.
Your eyes are sharp though
