Agreed a players may get older and loose his pace and some athleticism but he will not loose his TOUCH and VISION ( Technical ability)

Examples are the ageless Pirlo, Alonso, Seedorf, Ibrahimović, JJay, Kanu, to name a few.
For the first time I am absolutely in support of this....

Don't know where this stemmed from, but honestly, Kelechi Iheanacho is technically deficient and he isn't improving. Dude is getting worse with age.


I doubt he would make our AFCON or world cup list with the array of strikers we have sprouting out, unless he suddenly improves, which is highly unlikely.

Kelechi is one forward I can't quite place his position in the pitch because you can neither use him as a lone striker(poor positioning, poor aerial ability, poor hold up play) nor behind a striker due to his tennis-racket first touch, poor dribbling ability, and he is heavily left footed. Abeg I am done waiting on Iheanacho to improve biko.

Chelsea is a team fighting for laurels. You don't expect them to rely on just one striker.

Based on the team selection yesterday it was glaring Tammy is ahead of Giroud.
guy if he was that good there will be no need for Chelsea to spend huge amount of money on another striker....or have you seen Bayern spending big on another striker the answer is no because what they have is good enough for them...

As a supporting striker Chidera Ejike will fare well with his dribbling and creativity. Iheanacho has to improve or someone will take his place in the national team but i believe he will improve. At least last season was impressive and this season has just started

Poor football knowledge mixed with hate is bad for health. And agreeing with the talk of Nacho not being technical simply you wanna sound "unbiased" is absolute bullcrap.

These clips "AGAIN" debunk all the rubbish and obviously ignorant yammerings about Iheanacho not being a technical player. I have seen funny comments and I have seen dumb comments. But now I see fun-dumb comments. grin

It is not anyone's fault that you have lost patience with the lad. But allowing your frustrations and blasts from the lad's past (which he no longer lives in) to suddenly make false comments about Nacho's ability all in a bid to sound "unbiased" b'cos you used to talk up Nacho is actually still very wrong b'cos 19/20 season gave us a very solid Nacho who delivered superbly even when playing as a backup forward option to Vardy.

It is on the back of the 2019/2020 season and his very several fine performances that earned his a NT recall. So all this talk below is b'cos you are only letting your personal frustrations get the better of good judgment. Nothing true in all you have said.

With essentially the academy team, such is the gap in quality.

Interestingly there are two Nigerian origin players in the Lincoln. Timothy Eyoma and Tayo Edun, they could be current prospects for the SE for consideration.

IMO.

This article below was written about a player tagged "technically deficient" here by ignorant lots.

https://www.football.co.uk/news/kelechi-iheanacho-could-hold-key-to-ending-leicesters-attacking-woes/717162/

This was during the Post-Covid 2019/2020 season wrap up.

How could a "technically deficient" player hold the key to solving a team's attacking struggles as witnessed when Leicester resumed the EPL after the Covid break? We were all here when Nacho gave Leicester life each time he played with his fine attacking displays and his technical qualities.

How amnesiac many in here can be. But for some it is not amnesia. It is simply permanent blindness sponsored by dislike.

Iheanacho is NoT tEcHnICAl is the fun-dumbest comment I have seen this month. Arrant rubbish. Several expert opinions spit on the bollocks.

And this is one of the videos posted by a moniker about one of Nacho's games in preseason.

Now tell me, can a player who isn't technical do this?? As in eh... The dumbness I see here in several is so thick. I wish I could be given the chance to lobotomise you all. Hahahahahahaha...

Enough said. I think I have dropped more than enough evidence since most people love being shown evidence times and times again due to their poor memory or short memory issues.

My brother, i don't quite agree with the point that "Technical ability" is inborn. It can be developed, given a suitable environment. In your earlier post you singled out one quora post, but it wasn't the only answer to the question "what does a technical player mean". If you meant to say it's something you should have developed through your formatiive years, then that's probably correct. It's also important to note that one's technical ability can be enhanced by talent.Although they are sometimes subtle, you can tell when there's an input of talent beyond basic technique. Qualities such as vision are innate. It cannot be taught, only the end product of placing the pass can. To be honest it's better not to include vision as one of the qualities of a technical player. It doesn't put it in a suitable perspective. Moderately technical players may not have it, but yet they've got good technique. Technical players are usually midfielders, cos that's exactly where it's needed. And ofcourse some other categories of players can develop it as well. But yes you may be correct. Iheanacho is not technical, or he's well down the spectrum. Most midfielders players that are products of our environment are not technical. I don't think anyone will argue this. But i do not think he needs it as a striker or a supporting striker. Besides most players devote their time to develop their technique when they are lacking in other qualities such as strength, pace e.t.c. There are not a lot of players out there with at least three of basic technical ability,vision, strength and pace.

Oga Kelly ya cracking big time
Technicality is an in-built ability this is a noticeable feat in a player whether they are in form or not ...
Lemme enlighten there was a player named De bruyne when he was in Chelsea mourihno see nothing good in him he wasn't even playing in cup matches but the little time mourihno play him ...he shows an embodiment of technicality
Technicality is inborn just like strength and agility it has nothing to do with your form as a player grin

The main koko of the matter is show us how nacho is technically astute simple !!! Which one be long epistle to ri oloun I gave mine in my previous post and you countered it you have been saying shit since morning not even a point to counter it ....
Or is this new nerdy factor ;evasion from question??
In your own post, you used the word "better technical astute player" for the person that dropped Nacho to the bench. You did. That means for this argument on ground, he is not technical enough, but needs to get better. And to me, that ends all these talk. He is!!! in your own words.

I guess the bolded should be applied to you
You're one of the most respected sport analyst here but your politics is diminishing your sense of reasoning and argument coz lately most of claims are not backed up with facts
Why is It that when people have contrary views with you you tagged them as kom-menion but when you home boy was busy telling us how zuby and agu was better than Ndidi you were so mute that i was wondering if you're still in this thread or not ...had it been it was komekn that was telling us how Luke Amos was better than ndidi probably you would come fierce at him like an hungry lion

I made a very simple preposition I said nacho is not technically astute...I gave a definition of what it means to be technically astute ( the definition is not self birthed I went online to get the definition )

A technical player is a player has excellent ability on the ball, a good-looking player in possession, with the ability to buy themselves time and space due to their skill manipulating a football, working it in tight areas and improvising with their strong technique to solve problems in the game as they arise. They are players of strong touch, skill and imagination.( I'll like to show me instance where Nacho has exhibited one of these or probably know for one of these )

I moved on by giving instances where Guradiola had to drop him for better technical player like sterling
Nacho was dropped coz he wasnt technically proficient like sterling I gave instance where messi was played as a No.9 this shows Guardiola love for technical no. 9
If your nacho was that techically astute why would Guardiola sell himhuh

I will implore you not to let prejudices blind your sense of reasoning.
If in doubt, this was the paragraph that show that while in a bid to prove no technicality, you ended up proving it exist, but is not enough, which already counters your initial stance. Pheewww!!

Usage of "if your nacho was that technically astute" and "drop him for technically better player" already settles what you tryna discredit.

loss of form. This is the crux now. This doesn't mean he isn't technical atall. That's laughable to the coaching staff of Leic to me. He however needs to ignite his return to the SE. But that technical talk, i no go gree.
