safarigirl: So when Kelechi Iheanacho played as a lone striker for City and scored two goals in open play against Aston Villa, what was that? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 12:40pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
When you guys talk like this, you make it look as if Iheanacho has not played as a loan striker before and played well. Is it not few months ago Iheanacho put up a brilliant performance in the derby game against Manchester United playing as a lone striker? |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 12:41pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
Simple. The Algerians defenders did a good job caging Iheanacho but it was to their detriment. Mikel, Iwobi and Moses benefited from it. |

Mickael2:no, it was a draw because Cameroon got a penalty, else, Zambia would have walked out of Yaounde with 3 points. Is it not the same keeper that Kelechi and Iwobi scored against on their turf? Did he suddenly turn to Buffon over the course of a month? When Algeria drew Cameroon, some people gave the excuse too that Cameroon's goalie was topnotch as well. What happened to his genius against Zambia? Abeg, you people should give credit where it's due. Zambia played great against Cameroon, dazall We will beat Cameroon and do so confortably |

TheGoodJoe:it's his weakest position....he's least effective in that position. That's the point |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 12:59pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
safarigirl: It is not his weakest position because we have seen brilliant performances from him this season there. As soon as Musa came in and the attention reduced on Nacho, he was brilliant. Sad he did not score that chance. His movement and shot was super. The Algerians caged him well. That was all. The midfield had problems creating chances from him because he was tightly caged. With Mikel, Iwobi and Moses playing this well, we will likely not get the same treatment in other games. With more Room, Iheanacho will excel in that role. |

safarigirl:Etebo would not be effective as the lead striker. He plays great as a SS, AMF or box to box midfielder. Someone has to go for a striker like Ighalo, Olanrewaju or Fanendo Adi; someone who can hold the ball and score as well. |

BascoVanVeli:yeah I was really suprised that iwobi could pull such stunt.. remember we we're winning them by 2 goals.. so they we're frustrated.. nutmeging and ridiculing them will be like when conte was jinjering his fans when they we're beatin man u by 4 goals.. ofcourse u know what mourinho told him.. that's not good at all |

Micheal8701: Holistically, he doesn't have the attributes of a Center forward. He is a natural attacking midfielder or a SS. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by safarigirl(f): 1:28pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
Mickael2:if you can't nick in one of 15 shots, it says a lot of their attack. Still, nothing to shiver over. Our team will only get better between now and August |

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 1:29pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
forgiveness: my problem is that people think he is untouchable. If he wants to be the CF, no problem because I don't see him playing a box to box better than Etebo, or a LMF better than Iwobi and Mikel isn't going to sit, so let Nacho remain there, if Kayode is invited and he outplays him, let Nacho sit! He is a bench piece at Mancity, a prospect, not a star, we have stars so I don't see the issue here 1 Like |

Mickael2: No it was Etebo who tried to stay with Mahrez before he passed it for their goal. Onazi and Etebo both played in front of the defense, when one went up the other covered. |

BascoVanVeli: Onazi never went forward, he was the sitting DMF, Etebo had to run from the center circle to come and mark Mahrez so that Onazi would free up and stay in the middle but Onazi had to join the chase too, leaving his own man open 1 Like |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by goldfish80(m): 1:41pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
Mickael2:Funny enough, Onazi sat in front of the defence on the left side, while Etebo sat on the right part in the dual pivot role. As a good analyst I was expecting you to ask where Etebo was in these action moments. Clearly from the still pictures, Onazi was about covering for Elderson to block the Mahrez shot. Why aren't you asking where Etebo was? Am curious

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 1:47pm On Nov 13, 2016 |
goldfish80: Because Etebo was more of a CMF in that match or you didn't notice that? Onazi was the standing DMF and Etebo was more of a CMF. Meanwhile, no matter how many DMFs you have, their primary work is to man the middle, if the play happened close to the throw-in then I would understand the covering part but this is inside the box, a DMF should be standing infront of the two CBs in that position, the LB and LCB had that covered, he went to mark a player who already had 2 players on him, isn't that poor decision making. 1 Like |
