He needs to break his duck but good progress.
Yes, he should focus on heading because he will get a lot of aerial opportunities giving his height and athleticism.

There was a CAFCL/CAFCC game today where the ref gave a total of 5 penalties. 4 to the home side (3 of which were missed or saved) and 1 to the away side.
I don't know if I should call it bad officiating or just carelessness on the part of the players.
The game ended 1-0
yea, the game was in Ghana, five penalties all missed by five different players. the home team got four of the five penalties. I think that match should be investigated

Seyi was bought from MK Dons at the age of 14 for £1.8 million probably the most expensive 14 year old in English football history.

His Dad is his agent so he has been laughing all the way to the bank.

Newcastle put in bid in excess of £10 million Liverpool declined.

A player can be good and left on the bench. It happens repeatedly.

If not injury to Gabriel Jesus, I doubt a player of Aguero’s quality will have the kind of run his having and would have been warming bench in some games.

Guardiola prefers Gabriel Jesus style because it suits his philosophy of a defending attacker. Does that mean we should rate Gabriel Jesus ahead of Aguero?

The same Puel kept playing Slimani ahead of Nacho but time for the transfer in the winter market, he let Slimani go and kept Nacho.

Nacho grew up watching Barcelona, trained in an attacking Nigerian Junior team. Worked with Vieira and Pellegrini, two highly offensive managers. He does not suit the park bus/negative system.

As soon as I saw Diabate, I knew we were going to see Negative football from Leicester City. Glad it ended in a walloping.
The Aguero-Gabriel Jesus instance you gave butresses my point the more. Aguero is a good player no doubt but when juxtaposed with GJ, you get to find out he isn't just good enough. GJ checks a handful of the requisites of a 21st century striker. Reason why he always starts ahead of Aguero if match fit. Talking about Nacho; he's up against an unknown Diabate. One would think Diabate's appearances would be limited to short cameos but it's the other way round. Diabate to me is an unknown player so if Nacho should struggle for playing time with him in the picture, it means he simply isn't good enough.

I will not rate Gabriel Jesus ahead of Aguero despite Guardiola's preference.

I will not rate Diabate ahead of Nacho even though Puel might revert to a negative pattern down the line. So it is not about good enough but preference.

Finito.

If down the line Puel opts to go back to his negative style and decides on Diabate, it is good for him. End of season, Nacho will pack his bags and go to a better suitor. Batshuayi is not crying because he left Chelsea, he is a revelation.

It will even be better for Nacho to leave end of the season and work with a more offensive manager.

The boy is a baller and seems to be improving every game.

left for me, I'm not for Nacho constantly switching clubs as that would equate to him running away from competitions. Competition is necessary for a player's development. Competition made him leave a highly rated Manchester city to an averagely rated Leicester city. Trust me bro. If he can't stay and fight for his position, switching teams would mean running to a lowly rated club. Probably a relegation bound team. Now that would be unhealthy for our national team and his career more especially

This time is not about competition but playing under a system that will develop him at a fast rate to a top quality player. Build his rep and propel him to play on some of the highest stages.

Puel seems like a timid negative coach and I doubt he can create the right environment for Nacho to reach his potentials.
