Icon4s: Oga if ighalo disappointed you when you counted on him most then I'm sure he is sorry, but you cannot start doubting his quality just because of that...yes he may not be on form now but the whole world has seen his quality in the past years...go check the goals he scored last season....and his rise was not sudden like that ooh....he had to prove himself at udinese, Granada, Watford before having a shot at fame, the guy has worked for it oga...he was even seriously linked to man u at some point last season, Watford rejected the deal(to show how highly they rate him)...on form he is the best super eagles striker available. 3 Likes |

Carl Ikeme fit again, but benched by struggling Wolves Karl Ikeme Nigeria goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has recovered from a hip injury which kept him out of a World Cup qualifier against Algeria, but he was benched today by his English Championship side Wolves. Wolves lost 2-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday with Ikeme an unused substitute, while compatriot Dominic Iorfa played the entire game. Wolves are now flirting with relegation under new manager Paul Lambert. They are 21st on the 24-team table with 18 points from as many matches. http://africanfootball.com/news/667419/Carl-Ikeme-fit-again-but-benched-by-struggling-Wolves |

Simon Zenke scores, restates promotion target in Belgium Simon Zenke Ex-Nigeria youth international Simon Zenke has insisted his promotion target with Tubize is still intact after he scored the winner in a 2-1 win over visiting Lommel United. The former Samsunspor of Turkey striker said his team can still finish top of the table to qualify for the promotion playoffs. Tubize are fifth on the league table with four points from three games in the second round of the Belgian second-tier league. "I feel really good to score a goal that gave us victory after I missed our last game, which we lost 3-0 due to illness,” Zenke said. "I have the game on my mind, it was a game we knew victory will move us closer to the leaders. We had chances to score more, but the victory is what we needed. “With the way we played Lommel, I am hopeful we will get the promotion."

TheGoodJoe:Education for genius super eagles player?my guy i disagree.This guy needs playing time,forget all this your theory which i understand but do u think Guardiola is on d same line with your thought. It's a pity Pellegrin was sacked,this should have been a good season for Nacho.If Iwobi is having playing time and still learning under Wenger then who is Guardiola that Nacho cannot have a playing time still be learning. This is one of d rock of super eagle,so he doesn't deserve to be on d bench for 5 straight matches,no is not good for his career and even our national team.It was experience that's making player like Mikel still relevant in d National team and for now Nacho lack d experience so he must look for a club or fight for a stake in d team,even 20 to 35 mins appearance for man city is ok.But not playing at all under d guise of learning under Guardiola is uncalled-for. 2 Likes |

I still maintain that Pep is not being fair with Kelechi at City. The only backup striker you have has not played five games in a row. WTH! Interestingly, even City fans are saying this: Hasn't played a game for us during the last month now. And Aguero hasn't even been at his best. Loan move in January? He needs to get more gametime to develop. He could easily been brought on today with 20-25 minutes to go and the same goes for the match against Palace. He's only played 7 minutes in CL this season (still scored a goal despite that) Iheanacho is being shafted. Can't even get minutes after Aguero's minor injury, drop in form and overall superb strike/assist rate. Looks like it may well be time to move on. Even Pellegrini seems to have treated the lad better... Should at least give him some minutes. He's on the bench every game but never gets subbed on. If it wasn't for Agueros suspension he would barely have played this season (PL and CL). Pep needs to find a way to give him playtime. If we go by stats Iheanacho has 11 goals and 5 assists in 1038 Premier League minutes, which puts him about equal on a GPG ratio, while ahead in terms of assists. Could be at least getting 15-20 minutes. Also its not like he's a pure forward - you can play him on the wings or behind the striker. I'm biased obviously, but there is no good reason to not play him more. We had the same issue with Pellegrini, but at least you could see the progress there - Iheanacho was getting more and more minutes as the season progressed. Can only assume Kelechi will drop to 3rd choice once Jesus arrives? Can we seriously hope to maintain happiness in 3 strikers and give them each "enough" minutes when we play a system that has 1 striker? I must admit I'm worried about losing the lad. No, I wouldn't drop Aguero for him. I would however rest Aguero now and again or at minimum give him 15-20 minutes to come on and make a difference. Great Aguero scored two today, but having not known this it would have seemed a great idea to give Aguero a rest after two games straight in a week, a minor knock and have Iheanacho start today. Most of you guys are voicing the same about Iheanacho. It all comes down to pep and whether he sees Nacho being part of his plans. If he senses he doesn't, it is understandable that he would hanker for more game time elsewhere. With Kun getting the games, even when out of form, it looks like the writing may already be on the wall. He must get getting a bit frustrated at his lack of opportunities recently and with Gabriel Jesus arriving after Advent things not looking too promising for the near future. The difference being that Kelechi could end up being world class . The saddest part is that he's overachieved lofty expectations and seemingly has done absolutely nothing wrong and STILL couldn't make it here. Crazy to think of. Obviously we're making some leaps to judgement on what's going on but I think it's definitely plausible that he isn't around next year. He can play alongside Aguero when given the opportunity. As for playing wide we have never tried him there. My fear is that if he doesn't get the playing time and doesn't get moved on to a good club that his talent can be wasted. Also if he does go to another good club that he shines there and it becomes a Pogba, KDB or Sturridge situation. I see that there are a lot of people that don't rate him here but he will improve. He won't improve on the benchanting though. I think he'll move on in January, something odds gone on behind the scenes. For his age I can't think of many if any are better. If you loan him to the wrong club then he becomes a flop and that is bad for the player. The problem is too many people on this forum are already writing him off. Dont think anybody doesnt rate him, but its hard to see how he gets enough games over the next 18 months to improve. We wont play 2 up front, we have Sterling, Sane, Norlito, Navas to play wide, and Jesus to come. The problem is an 18 month loan would be good for us and for him. But leaves us short of a striker to cover Sergio unless we trust Jesus to be able to step in. Its a trick balance to get right. [quote][/quote] |

joseph1013:Pep is trying to kill Kelechi's talent ho ha. And let me even say this, the Jesus these fans are raving about won't even last longer than Kelechi under Pep because he's black as well. Kelechi should move in January cuz he can't continue like this till the end of the season. Pep can eat his silly football knowledge, who e don epp? Kelechi isn't Sane, nor Maffeo or Angelino, so he shouldn't be compared to people who can't even make the roster for their National teams, he's a first teamer for us and it is imperative he gets game time. 2 Likes |

i agree that training with world class players and working under a genius like Pep will improve iheanacho's game but without actual game time it may go to waste. he needs real game situations to test himself not long periods of sitting on the bench which will only stagnate his game and lead to loss of confidence. imagine coming on for few minutes to the end of a crucial match with the added pressure of performing excellently because any slight mistake back to bench. what you have been preaching would have been easier to swallow if other players were being treated the same way. nolito, sterling haven't been extraordinary as of late but they have still been getting healthy playing time. by the way today is my birthday TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

The bolded sums it all up..... Is Leroy Sane in the same class as Kelechi?? NOOOO!!!! What about Pablo maffeo?? NOOO WAYYY!!! THAT'S AN INSULT SEF!!! Adarabioyo?? Angelino?? Aleix Garcia?? HELL NOOOOO!!!!! Kelechi Iheanacho is Europe's deadliest and most clinical forward based on his goals&Assists output per minute on the field of play. He's also a "super regular" in a super competitive SUPER EAGLES SIDE, the Nigerian National team. Haba!!!!! All the others are not... In the UEFA Golden Boy award, He even trumped Sane in the overall rankings. Kelechi no get mate among him fellow young guns. He's done enough and is on another level compared to them. SIR THEGOODJOE.... Pep has no justification to dump Kelechi on the bench for five straight games especially when he is in form and has always delivered when given a chance. A player wont really grow unless you give him a chance to show on the field what you've been grinding into him on the training ground. It's just like studying and learning in classrooms without actually getting tested in the exam halls. What should we say then?? That until you're perfect in understanding then exams will be set for you?? Is that how schooling it?? MUST ONE BE PERFECT IN EVERYTHING BEFORE HE'S TESTED OUT THERE?? I repeat... even Messi was not perfect in everything when he got his big break at Barca!!! Heck!!! Kelechi's first professional season even trumps Messi's first professional season and Messi even played more minutes!!!! Damn!!! I REPEAT YET AGAIN, IF THE CITYZENS LOSE KELECHI "THE ALIEN KID" IHEANACHO, IT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM IN MANY WAYS COZ THEY WILL BE LOSING A SUPER YOUNG PLAYER WHO WILL TURN OUT "WORLD-CLASS" EVENTUALLY. #Wanna bet? Pep berra knock down that rigid, stupid philosophical bullcrap and evasive tactical reason of his and admit that Nacho is just not in his plans so that we can all know where Nacho stands in the club's future. I RATE PEP AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TACTICAL GENIUSES IN THE GAME BUT PEP IS NOT THE ONLY COACH WHO CAN MOULD NACHO.... Heck!!! Even Pellegrini did a good job with Nacho and was more willing even with his own stubborn rigidity to drop Bony when it actually mattered and made Nacho no.2 forward. NACHO CAN ALSO FILL IN AS AM OR RWF..... SINCE CITY HARDLY PLAY A SYSTEM THAT PERMITS AN SS.... Pep got no excuse!!! Nacho didnt dip in form.... Nacho works like a beast in training and you cant tell me he hasnt improved one or two aspects of his game all this while.... We are talking about a kid who's a fast learner!!! PEP IS REALLY ERRING HERE WITH THE POSTER BOY OF THE CITY ACADEMY!!! HE'S EVEN THINKING OF STILL BRINGING IN A BIG WORLD CLASS PLAYER!!! POSSIBLY LIONEL MESSI!!!! IS PEP CRAZY?? IS HE FOR REAL?? What is his problem?? In Nacho, I see a super jewel and one who can outshine the greats but if pep doesnt see that then Nacho should leave. PEP ISNT THE ONLY GREAT/FANTASTIC TALENTS-MOULDING COACH AROUND. City fans will regret it if Nacho leaves. Mark my words. And Nacho will haunt them forever with loads of goals anytime he faces them. Even Pep's tactical genius wont stop it from happening... How do you stop a player who knows how to bury chances (half, quarter, and full) like an ice-cold assasin (in ways even Messi will be envious of) and knows how to attack space relentlessly?? What people dont seem to see is that Kelechi can be better than Messi.... The stats show that and his talents show it too. City are about to make the biggest mistake in their history if care is not taken...... AND THAT LIKELY MISTAKE IS "LOSING IHEANACHO" safarigirl: 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: You can add to exceptionally good , OVERWHELMINGLY LIKED by the current Manager , prior to Brendan Rogers there was a mere trickle of young players making it into the first at Liverpool FC. Under Brendan there was an unprecedented number of players given first team opportunities. You could add to that black players, Raheem , Wisdom , Sinclair, Ojo, Ibe, and of course Brannigan, Kent, Smith and Flanagan. You need to consider the Managers mind set, playing for Mourinho as a young unproven player is a very tall order if you want regular game time in order to develop and progress. I have the same view of Guardiola this guys does not have the time or patience to wait for you to develop and improve. Guardiola wants success NOW so if he has to spend £100 million to get it , he will. Furthermore you have to be true to yourself, there is no point dropping down a division particularly in England where the game is more about stamina, strength and sheer doggedness if you don't have those attributes. There are some teams that play good technical football in the Championship like Fulham, Derby, Newcastle , and a one or two others otherwise it could be a disaster. There are teams in the premiership that are dogged and not exactly technical but simply efficient they may not be the best option for some of our young players. Playing in Europe for a top team may seem a better option for some of our young players, the emphasis being a top team and in the top 5 European leagues otherwise that big money move may become very elusive. In this regard you have to look long term not short term , where are you likely to develop and improve |

Since he has found himself in this precarious situation,my advice is for him is to keep working hard,excise patience and believe his time will come,n when it comes he should work harder on the pitch,take some risks like trying the post from far. He should not try to force his move to another club unless City decides they don't need his services anymore when his contract expires. Yesus will not b a trait to him rather he would motivate him to perform better,for me I see Iheanacho and Yesus as the future of Man city. His time will surly come,even if is not on league matches. |
