Here's another who's seeing it all.... Fact is I am certain Pep trusts and believes more in Nacho as regards his playing philosophy more than he does with Aguero. Nacho is far better fit for this Man City side under Pep than Aguero. It's funny because Aguero is so highly rated.... Pep has a decision to make going forward: Start giving Nacho a run of games and order your players to always seek out Nacho (like he did with Messi at Barca) OR Keep playing an Aguero who doesn't fit in and not complain about the results that come in be they good or bad. joseph1013: |

TheGoodJoe: Ronaldinho went to the 2002 world cup and he wasn't bad either, He played for PSG for several seasons and he was great for them, so he didn't just have four good seasons, you can argue that Aguero WAS world class and you might have a good debate there, but since last season he has been very very close to average for me. Scholes said he is.great? he is an Englishman and they hype their players a lot, not surprised one but |

It is better we cap Tyronne and Ehizibue now before Holland does it. They are aware that we want them. I don't think we should use Moses as a right back because he is better for us at the RW and I don't think he can play it. 1 Like |

safarigirl: you are there. he was the person that cost them that first goal. you know your position isn't okay, you also know that the ball is beyond you that even if you manage to get to it you will head it over and you heard your teammates shouting to you and yet you jumped, selfish selfish play. then the second chance, that was a cutback, there are just a few players who know how to finish from a tight angle and Aguero isn't one of them, you have a Ayer in the middle who has smartly pulled back from the defender who is lost as to what he should do, if he should cover the empty net or mark his man, why not pull the ball back for the free man to tap in? you are not Messi, even Messi would have passed that ball to him, that isn't rocket science and that's what Pep's football is all about, creating tap ins for the freest player, simple and short |

Mickael2: If the debate is the style of play not fitting our philosophy, I can understand. Calling Aguero average or not top class is not true. He is far from average and he is World Class. I doubt there is a top coach in the world who will say Aguero is not World Class. |

Legendary English Striker Lineker Explains Secret Behind Iheanacho Goal Scoring Act After Goal Against Southampton ![]() Legendary English forward Gary Lineker has explained the secret behind Kelechi Iheanacho goal scoring act, following his latest goal in Manchester City 1-1 draw against Southampton. Iheanacho came off the bench for Manchester City and finished off a brilliant team move in the 55th minute to draw City level, after Nathan Redmond had given Southampton the lead. A beautiful floated pass from Fernandinho was well met and held by Leroy Sane who in turn lay the ball across goal for the rushing Iheanacho, who slid home ahead of a tackle from Virgil Van Dijk. Lineker responded to the Nigerian third goal in the English Premier League this season with a post on social media, explaining the myth behind the 20 year old lethal nature in front of goal. “How to score goals: attack space and when the ball goes in the area you gamble on you’ll have an easy chance. Perfect example from Iheanacho” He posted on twitter.

Iheanacho's movement and touches have been better. The only thing i can honestly say Kun does better is running at defenders cos his finishing has been absent lately. 1 Like |

Red Hot Gbolahan Salami Extends Goal Scoring Record For Finnish Side With 14th League Goal Of The Season Against PS Kemi ![]() Gbolahan Salami fine run of form in front of goal continued for Finnish side KuPS with the 25 year old scoring the lone goal in their 1-0 win over PS Kemi. Salami struck in the 13th minute. His 14th goal of the season in Finland, and it ended as the match winner for his side, who are now up to 7th on the Veikkausliiga. Already he has surpassed the club goal scoring record of 12 league goals set in 2001 with his goal in Monday’s game against HIFK. A feat which earned him a giant trophy from the club. The striker who has scored in his last three games in a row, is now only three goals away from top scorer Roope Riski who has 17 goals for SJK. Despite his fine form, he is still not under consideration for a recall to the Nigeria senior national team, ahead of their game against Algeria as manager Gernot Rohr prefers Brown Ideye and Odion Ighalo ahead of the former Nigeria League top scorer.

BascoVanVeli: Sterling and Sane played that role. I am not saying 3-4-3 can not work. I am saying it is hard to pull off and takes a lot of work to pull it off. It is not only today. Van Gaal, Mancini, Gasperini are coaches who tried to work with the three at the back set-up and encountered challenges. Gasperini made name with it but when it capitulated, he had no alternative. |

Super Eagles Striker Gbolahan Salami Ends Season On High Note With 15th Goal ![]() Gbolahan Salami ended the 2016 Veikkausliiga season on a high with another goal for KuPS in their hard fought 1-0 win over PS Kemi at the Kuopio Football Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The former Warri Wolves frontman scored the important goal after 13 minutes to take his tally to 15 goals across all competitions. Three Nigeria internationals in the shape of Salami, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Paul Onobi completed the full shift against the team from Kemi. The three players signed one year deals with KuPS before the start of the season and it remains to be seen if they will extend their stay in Finland, with the club failing to qualify for the Europa League. KuPS occupied the seventh position on the table after the last round of matches with 49 points accumulated from 33 games. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=20837 |

TheGoodJoe:We both know city didn't use the same system. Sterling and Sane are not wing backs and they were not expected to perform that role. Pep normally goes with 4 at the back but it changes into 2 or 3 becos the fullbacks perform the duties of a midfielder, this is how he played in the derby. He went with 3 out of need not want, he didn't organize his team the way Conte or Mazzarri did theirs. Victor Moses is playing like a world class wing back we should not waste that becos it would give us a chance to put more impact players on the pitch. |

BascoVanVeli: What of Van Gaal, Gasperini who started using the system before Conte. What of the Mancini at Manchester City. The three at the back was popular in the 90's. Later people abandoned it. It is too risky for us to create that confusion with our defenders. It takes a lot of work to pull it off. The coaches of the National team do not have that long with the players. |

Rohr Set To Release Eagles List, To Drop Five Players From Last Squad ![]() Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr is expected to submit a list of 25 players to face Algeria in Uyo on 12 November in a Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier, Complete Sports has gathered. Competent sources at the Nigeria Football Federation secretariat revealed that the Rohr delayed the submission of the list because he was checking out some Nigerian players in Europe and meeting with their club managers to get assurance on the availability of the players for the duel against Algeria. “Rohr has demanded for 25 players for the game against Algeria and we have obliged him his request and hopefully he will submit his list to the federation to invite them latest by Wednesday this week,” the highly-placed NFF source told Complete Sports. “We will not interfere with his selection for the match because we know he wants result. “I think he intends to invite only two home-based players this time around because the Nigerian league is on break and these players will not be at their best for the game. Rohr also wants to bring back the core of players that beat Zambia while those who did not measure up to his expectations will be dropped for new ones.” The source also divulged that the coach wants the likes of Odion Ighalo, Leon Balogun, Victor Moses and Isaac Success back in the team and is also going to drop those who see the invite as a vacation from their respective clubs. Asked what the invites will look like our source said the 11 players that started in Zambia and the substitutes who played in Ndola are in the list but added that “at least five of the 23 will not be in Uyo”.

Scan Results To Determine Availability Of Watford Striker Success For Algeria Match ![]() Watford striker Isaac Success is doubtful for November’s World Cup qualifier against Algeria in Uyo, allnigeriasoccer.com can reveal. The Hornets number ten did not train all through last week after picking up an injury in his team’s 1-0 win at Middlesbrough on October 16, in which he was named Man of the Match. This website can specially reveal that Success started feeling pains when a Boro player used his leg to hit him on the lap and had to play through the pain barrier until he subbed out in the 89th minute. Because of a blood clot, the former Granada striker has undergone a scan to determine the extent of his injury and an estimate of how long he will spend on the sidelines. The 20-year-old was called up to the Super Eagles for the World Cup tie with Zambia, only to be ruled out with an injury. Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=20840 |

Musa’s 20-yard effort in the 42nd minute set Claudio Ranieri’s side for an emphatic 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium and the 24-year-old noted the impact the goal had on the game. “For me, it’s a very good beginning scoring a goal like that,” Musa told LCFCTV. "I will keep on working very hard with my teammates and the coach and we will see what is going to happen. “Yes, I think the goal was very important because we were still on level terms and that goal gave us the lead before half-time. The goal gave us confidence.” Goals from Shinji Okazaki and left back Christian Fuchs made Yohan Cabaye’s late effort a mere consolation and the former CSKA Moscow applauded the strikes. "It was a very fantastic goal from him (Okazaki) and scoring the second goal made the team more confident. “It was very good; good shot, good goal. I think it was a very fantastic goal from him,” he admired Fuch’s strike. The victory over Alan Pardew’s men saw the defending league champion climb to the 12th position with 11 points from nine games. m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/4110/nigerians-abroad/2016/10/23/28758032/i-will-keep-on-working-very-hard-leicester-citys-musa [/b] 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] AF Nigeria 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers - Africa Gent New 30 million Naira car lands Ahmed Musa in Eagles trouble [/size] ![]() Ahmed Musa by Samm Audu It can exclusively be reported today that national team selectors were seriously crossed with Leicester City star Ahmed Musa when he opted to drive to training camp with a new 30 million Naira (more than $66,000) car. He further drew the wrath of the coaches when he was almost mobbed after he gave away cash to fellow worshippers after Friday Muslim prayers, all these before a crucial World Cup qualifier in Zambia. The 24-year-old forward, who finally opened his Premier League goals account on Saturday, sensationally lost his first-team place to Gent star Moses Simon in Ndola with the official explanation being that it was because he has struggled to play regularly for Premier League champions Leicester. However, it has now been scooped he was really in hot water because he did not seem to be focused for the all-important match in Zambia. A top official opened up: “The Eagles coaches led by Gernot Rohr were very unhappy with Ahmed Musa before the match in Zambia because they felt he was not concentrated for the game by what he was doing off the pitch. “He drove into camp with a 30 million Naira car he had just bought. “And for Friday mosque, he almost got himself badly hurt when he was giving out cash to other worshippers around the mosque close to ICPC office in Abuja. “Bystanders said he had to run into his car for his life when the crowd became very uncontrollable. “It was very comical because he had to tear away from the crowd, like a common thief running away from an angry mob braying for blood.” africanfootball.com/news/658041/New-30-million-Naira-car-lands-Ahmed-Musa-in-Eagles-trouble [/b] |
