The bolded I doubt will take place. Ighalo would be Siasia's preferred CF option. You think a 4-4-2 formation would suite the team because of Iheanacho. Rather than u playing Iheanacho to suite the Team u are setting up the team to suite Iheanacho. That is what I see. If u say Iheanacho is a striker and practices as a striker in Training at City then he should be ready to sit on the bench in Rio.

TheGoodJoe:



I am not looking at Iheanacho from a sentimental point of view but finishing ability. If we have the ball in the eighteen yard box of an opponent and I am to pick a Nigerian striker to take the shot. If I am to make a list of who I want shooting that ball, Nacho leads the line. His finish against Tottenham comes to mind.

Ighalo brings more to the team than finishing ability. He holds the ball well, moves well without the ball and uses his body to fight off players.

He is the ideal man to play alone up front, followed by Aaron Samuel.

If we go 4-5-1, with a defensive disciplined set up (not packed bus) the Ighalo and Samuel will be the favored choice.

If we go with a 4-3-3 attacking set up like we have at Barcelona, with the Messi, Suarez, Neymar kind of play. I would not select these guys. I will go with a Success, S. Moses, Nacho setup (agree with Icon4s) here.

In a 4-4-2, I will go with a Nacho, Success set up, just like the Nacho-Aguero setup at City.

Nacho can also pair Aaron Samuel or Ighalo up front but I always prefer sharp, skillful pay finishers up front. Like Tevez, Aguero, Suarez, Neymar, Sanchez. To the Giroud, Berbatov, Lewandowski, Dzeko, Bony, Costa.

It is a thing of preference. Coach Siasia style of play to approach the tournament will decide the set up.

Although he already said he wanted Ighalo in his team.

Aminu Umar scored a brace in Turkey...

Petrobros:


The bolded I doubt will take place. Ighalo would be Siasia's preferred CF option. You think a 4-4-2 formation would suite the team because of Iheanacho. Rather than u playing Iheanacho to suite the Team u are setting up the team to suite Iheanacho. That is what I see. If u say Iheanacho is a striker and practices as a striker in Training at City then he should be ready to sit on the bench in Rio.

LOL. Wicked man

Icon4s:
Thanks tbaba1234 for the updates.

Another great forward that would have shone greatly for Manu Garba's side had it not been for the MRI test, who would have known people like Nacho, Isaac and Awo. ~Smiles~ Truely your downfall could be anothers opportunity to rise and shine..

joseph1013:
Mark my words, Siasia would never pick Kelechi as a CF. I share the fears of Icon4s, as weeks go by, Success is playing himself out of reckoning. Ighalo was the final straw. He will be the automatic choice and since Success plays on the wings, I seriously doubt Siasia would put him in front.

With the avalanche of talents available, not too many highbrows will be raised if Success is omitted from the squad. That's my take.

Icon4s:


Aminu Umar was not part of Iheanacho and Success set. He played U20 in 2013 alongside Moses Simon, Abdulahi Shehu, Kingsley Madu, Wilfred Ndidi and co. Though he was eligible to play at the last U20 but was not invited.

TheGoodJoe:


If Coach Siasia decides to go 4-4-2, then Nacho becomes an important player in the squad. He will attack and not bench. If Coach Siasia goes 4-5-1, Nacho benches, then I say we drop him to continue working with Guardiola to make a regular place in City.

Icon4s:

A combination of Iwobi who is an excellent ball passer and Iheanacho who is an excellent finisher would be a delight to watch. I sincerely wish Ighalo is left out of this Olympics Team.

Petrobros:


In other words, Siasia must play 4-4-2 just so that Nacho must play. And you say this is not sentiments?

terzurum5:


Oh my God. Then who was that player that was stopped by MRI test from playing for U17. I think am begining to mix things up.

Where is forgiveness? A new unknown name has come. Food don come for you.

LOL. I was just being cheeky. I feel Nacho must make the team because, we might decide to switch style of play during a game to a 4-4-2 formation and we would need Nacho.

I think the fiercest competition is up front.

"Nacho" is not the only player that can fit in if we need to switch to 4-4-2. Aaron Samuel, Isaac Success, Chisom Chikatara can also co-strike with Ighalo if they are selected.

No big deal if Iheanacho sits on the bench.
