Thanks for proving me right... TRUTH TWISTER AND FACTS BENDER

All the rest of your write-up na bunch of bollocks. Lol...

safarigirl:
me sef I'm starting to wonder. Does he want to rest him cuz of the period Aguero was out?

safarigirl:
and in this one?

Besides, I don't see how fielding him at the 80-minutes mark would have affected a 3-1 lead....he's just not fielding him and I think the 'overworked' excuse would sound better

clefstone:
There are few scenarios in which Iheanacho will feature for city.
1. In EFL games
2. When Aguero is not available for selection
3. In games that are wrapped up early he can be brought in as a sub to rest first choice players
4. When city is chasing a game Pep can bring him in to play as a second striker

zicky:
Its looking like Iwobi is a much better player to Iheanacho, I foresee Iwobi winning African footballer award before Iheanacho.

safarigirl:
Iwobi is a more used player. Kelechi would ne starting if he was in Arsenal.

The more frequent player is usually the better eventually. Me thinks Kelechi should look for another team next Season because City won't use him like he should be used, Gabriel Jesus comes in January and he'll be seeing even less games

As for CAF APOTY, both of them hsve at least 2 seasons to go for that

So the Swansea game did not meet one of these requirements?

And yesterday when they needed a win? Except, Guardiola wasn't playing for a win.

Loke I said, resting him is the sokw excuse for the last 2 games

forgiveness:


At youth level, Solanke continued to score at a prolific rate scoring 15 goals in 16 games before Christmas and finishing as top scorer in the group stages of the UEFA Youth League after a hat trick in the final group stage match against Sporting CP.[7][8] On 10 April 2015, Solanke scored a brace in the semifinal of the 2014–15 UEFA Youth League against A.S. Roma to send Chelsea into the final.[9] Solanke scored again against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Youth league final ending the tournament with 12 goals in 9 games as Chelsea won the title.[10] On 20 April, Solanke scored a late goal to give his side a 3–1 win in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup final against Manchester City.[11] With this goal, Solanke reached the 35-goal mark this season.[12] On 7 May, Solanke reached 41 goals for the season after scoring a hat-trick in a 4-3 victory over Liverpool U21.[13]

On 30 May 2015, Solanke clinched the only goal of the game in a post-season friendly against Thailand All-Stars, therefore scoring his first senior goal of his career.[14]

Sorry, I didn't write it. Accuse the writer of that not me

Even with Iheanacho in the team, they were still trashed. sorry.

3-1 is not a wrap in d epl these days so d Swansea game didn't meet that reqt.
As for yes'day's game, you don't change to a less defensive formation against a team that has taken the lead 3 times. Bringing in a second striker would hv left city more vulnerable at the back against a team that had breached their goal 3 times already.

TheGoodJoe:


In the last game, we were under a lot of pressure from the Swans. They were hard on our midfield. Dominated it and made passing difficult. The changes we made were to control the game and prevent The Swans scoring.

BascoVanVeli:


Yea normally he rest Aguero at the end yet he only made 2 subs last nite.

BascoVanVeli:

To me Iheanacho coming on for Aguero has dual uses, he is a more willing presser and he can also help kill of a match instead of trying to hold on.

clefstone:
Kelechi won't start in the present Arsenal team

safarigirl:
3-1 in 80 minutes is not a wrap? Lol.....EPL must have evolved in a space of 2 months, Swansea must have gotten Henry and Messi as forwards to ensure they close the 2 goal gap in 13 or so minutes.

Who said anything about 2 strikers? What was wrong in subbing Aguero? That's how Pep subs them, Aguero for Kelechi, I don't remember him doing much the entire 90 minutes, Rodgers put on Patrick Roberts in 81 minutes....like I said, Guardiola must have been going for a draw which may not be very smart considering they're not lijeky to win Barca home and away

safarigirl:
my point exactly...some people here suddenly want us to believe that Iheanacho is good for nothing, as if we haven't been watching City's games.

Because Kelechi has been off the radar for 2 games, they've conveniently forgotten how good he is, telling me he won't make it in Arsenal's starting line-up, Walcott must have attained Aguero status overnight

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho presses and tracks back better than Aguero. In that game, we needed control from the deep of the team. Defenders and Central midfield. So bringing Iheanacho would help but not to the right magnitude we needed.

TheGoodJoe:


City are still building. Most times, teams are built from the back. In our last two games, City came under high pressure. So most of the changes are to deal with these pressures. Guardiola could throw in Nacho but his concentration was on how to control the game.

Guardiola rates Nacho highly and there is no doubt Nacho will get enough chances.

BascoVanVeli:


That Swansea game really wasn't an issue Aguero had just come back anyways but last night left more questions than answers

clefstone:
Kelechi won't start in the present Arsenal team

TheSuperNerd:
Don't bother with those guys...... They only get their voices back when Nacho is not in action.

Nacho is under a coach who's the best in the business and who believes in rotating his squad from time to time.... So Nacho will get to feature more as time goes on.

Someone saying Iwobi is better or will win the Apoty before Nacho is being very myopic and divisive.

Iwobi is getting games. Nacho will bench all of Arsenal's no.9s if he's there.... That I insist. #fact

TheSuperNerd:
I just wish Aguero hasn't extended that contract..... Now that he did, then we got a new plan... "Outshine the master consistently"

As for chances, I hope they come thick and fast for Nacho.... Haba!!! We're talking about a kid who can walk into most EPL teams' starting 11.

safarigirl:
As in, the way some people are quick to jump at Kelechi's lack of game tine as an indication that he isn't good enough is annoyibg.

One person getting more game tine doesn't make him better, he's just lucky to be in a team that can allow such. Iwobi would beg for game time in City because he certainly can't bench KDB

TheGoodJoe:


The Competition is good. We have Sane who was impressive last season in the Bundesliga. At 19, earned a call up to the German European Championship squad. He is putting pressure on Sterling to take the right wing forward role.

We have Iheanacho who Guardiola said is a quality finisher pushing Aguero for a starting place.

The competition will make these youngsters work hard to break into the squad and keep their places. Nacho is working hard because he knows Gabriel Jesus is a brilliant player. A sharp finisher too.

TheSuperNerd:
And which no.9 or improvised no.9 is better than Nacho in the present Arsenal team?? Walcott? Giroud? Perez?? Sanchez??... Who
