Still on page 4265 but GOSH! Some people's bias here is appalling!!!! Jeez! Is this tribalism I'm seeing here? In Sports?! Jesus! Well,I'm not surprised. People are so stupid. Do you know it's tribalism that is holding Nigeria down?! Allow the person/people who can do the job do it!

Typical backward Black man mentality. I spit on you tribalists!

You know yourselves. The ones who argue with favouritism against using current form/stats. Tueh!

TRASH

Who is clamoirong for Iheanacho? The problem with you people is that you always assume that because we don't want a certain player, it automatically means we want Iheanacho. Did I not say this morning that we should play Musa and Iwobi? Can you make an opinion without bringing in your nonsense pettiness?

We are clamouring for anybody but Ighalo, because Ighalo brings bad luck to the WHOLE team. Nobody cares about chances that never get into the net.

The same Ighalo that has offered nothing to the national team in almost a year, is who you people are shamelessly clamourong for. Emphasis on SHAMELESSLY, because, if you have small shame, you will not mention Ighalo here.

The last time Ighalo scored for us is last year August. In many other countries, a forward with such an abysmal record would not even be at the World Cup, but here we are managing Ighalo and you are still yarning rubbish about aerial threat and hold up play.

May God deliver you people from the spirit of losing, because it is only someone who likes losing thay will still be mentioning Ighalo to start for us at this point.

I once said here that Ighalo is a good player, his only problem is that he is unlucky. You think football is solely about talent and technique, it is NOT. That is why Ighalo must be on that bench, whether it is for Kelechi or Musa or Iwobi.

No go Twitter yarn this kain trash before dem use swear destroy your destiny. It is only on Nairaland that you can mention Ighalo like this, even at that, only on this thread. Don't mention that name in the presence of football-loving Nigerians who want to win

No mind all of them bunch of bias people.

Our performance which was impressive has to do with our mobility. We need to stick with our most mobile set-up which includes Nacho and Musa. Iwobi, Simy and Ighalo do not fit into that set-up.

I say with stick to our winning system.

Moses should move to the left and Ebuehi to the right.

The power of mobile attackers is the difficulty in marking them. They move deep into the middle or wide to the wings to help create fluidity and find spaces to attack. This fluidity is our strength and we should set-up to make the most of it.

I did not say team but system. I am always for improving the selection to keep the team playing strong but will always support a fluid attacking system as the winning system.

The first eleven you have there is the best.
Iheanacho was versatile, tactical, skillful, good passer,offer enough support, and the connection with the midfield and marking when without the ball against Iceland was classy.
I think he is our best freekick taker just outside the box.
These are things Ighalo can't offer.
I prefer Iheanacho up front to Ighalo,in any case.

Humility017:

it depends on what you call a high profile striker...
to me for a striker to have scored 7 goals for an average team in a league like seria A where you have some tough defenders...and even against juventus scored a CR7 kind of goal...tells alot about his abilities...

I rate him highly compare to Ighalo...

Ighalo has scored 6 goals for a season in la Liga and he has scored goals against big clubs with better defence than any Serie A team. Yes! Barcelona, Athletico Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool etc were the big clubs with better and tougher defenders than those Seria A clubs, he has scored against.

Funny enough, he scored those goals with average Granada and Watford.

To add salt to injury, he scored double digits... I mean 15 goals in EPL.

Abeg, Simy never reach Ighalo. No bi same level for now.

Hope Simy does better but for now, make una stop comparison.

What you need to understand the majority of contributors fall into the category of fanatical fans. Seeing things only one sided.

Iwobi does not backtrack with any real conviction and when he plays on the wing he lacks discipline and drifts to the middle. So his wing play is very suspect.

The question ❓ we fail to answer what did the combination of KC and Musa produce.

What I saw was KC buzzing around but not sure what level of end product and or indeed what major impact on the game he was having. Pressing he pressed but didnt really threaten the CB'S of Iceland in that game. Didn't see any aerial or physical threat from him as well.

What I did notice was far more combination play with Musa and Ighalo and a greater impact on the game with his hold up play and goal threat.
Brotherly,I have seen your agitation for Ighalo since .
Please are you in any way related to Ighalo?
You aren't base your call for Ighalo on merit Sir.
And if you do,it is from a rarest angle,quite parochial!
Iheanacho did not score in the last match but contributed massively to the attack,when with the ball and when not.
Musa wasn't effective than he is not until he(Musa) scored.
Ighalo is an easily jaded guy.
Dude doesn't drop deep to mark,isn't fast enough,can't play 1-2 adequately. Hardly dribblers.
Hardly drop deep to collect ball nor kickstart attack.
His stance is always that of a striker waiting for loose ball.
Most painful of it all he lack the fighting spirit and doesn't charge opponents when with ball.
Making our midfield prone to being overwhelmed.
If Iheanacho doesn't start against Argentina, then we must be playing massive defensive play then.
But for a balance game with attacking instinct, start Musa and Iheanacho.
Simy,Ighalo are a no for start.
Iwobi could only be AMF or a cutting winger at worse.
I wonder why some folks will want Iwobi as a striker.

Look again and read the bolded. Then tell me passing is not the better option. Really.


From another angle Musa was ahead of Iheanacho. Passing to Iheanacho is like back pass. That is not good for the reputation of a striker.

Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho played only the last seven minutes of Manchester City’s away league clash with Stoke City, but it was his assist that helped Nolito confirm victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Iheanacho worked the ball past two Stoke defenders before passing the ball to a teammate. When he received it back, he rounded goalkeeper Shay Given. However, with the ball to his weaker right foot, the angle acutely narrow and two defenders recovering to block the goal mouth, Iheanacho squared the ball to the better-placed Nolito, and the former Celta Vigo striker made no mistake from close range to move the scoreline to 3-1.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U2y1d2Ajeo

Difference scenerio. Some strikers would have scored before dribbling the keeper in that Iheanacho's position facing the keeper and many will pass in that position after he skinned the keeper.

Different scenerio all together.

Ah swear, this Argentine team don't deserve to beat Nigeria.. E go pain me

Imagine an argentine saying they would beat us 4-0, and asking if there is television in Nigeria.. According to Charles anazodo...

Both players are good but they operate in different tactics hence should be played in a game that suits our tactics.

You can see, I don't even have an ideas on what tactics or formation we should use against Argentina.
