TheGoodJoe:


Guy you are killing it. So from that picture you posted, you can not see Iheanacho dropping deep. I repeat you are terrible at this.

Forget defending Guardiola's training method. I am talking of you lying to defend corrupt calls of the referee. It shows your mind state. You wrote lots of things that shows your understanding of the game.

It is terrible.

Without copy copy, you can not have a personal opinion.

I already highlighted your gaffes.

Stop trying hard to save face.

TheGoodJoe:


Offside is called a clear chance? A cross that a player did not reach is called a clear chance. Na WA. You guys haba. Poaching skills is poor when we could not create clear cut chances.

Do not use sub to count. Guardiola played Yaya Toure as a Striker because of the Bullying and poor protection Iheanacho got. You guys analyse with conscience.

TheGoodJoe:


English players have inflated prices. There is no way Sterling is worth that price tag. Same goes to Stones. Stones was not as slow as Kolarov. He was not. His Problem came from his choices. His decision to ball watch instead of tracking Vardy was one. His decision to pass back in a tight situation instead of putting the ball out for a throw or making an earlier simple pass to Sagna.

However, the lack of pace and stamina is even a bigger issue. Sagna tried but a younger version will excel in that game. Zabaleta, Kolarov, Clichy and Sagna are in their thirties. We need younger players to cope with the demanded runs of the system.

Just like the runs Iheanacho made yesterday.

Kog45:
Then draft in d likes of Adarabioyo coz your old defenders lack d pace or cannot cope with intense strategy of Guardiola.

My guy no need for excuses,Guardiola is getting it wrong tactically for now,need to adjust his team to suit his old defenders.

joseph1013:
This your attempt at defending City's loss by blaming the referee is laughable.

Wait...how come it's only City fans that are moaning about him? I watched the match on SS, the analysts didn't talk about the penalty or referee's decisions in the match.

If you are need a goal and still remove the only striker you have and bring a midfielder to play in front, then it's obvious you have no trust in that striker. Pep is not good for Kelechi. He's making him a bad player.

Your attempt at defending Pep is becoming more and more ridiculous every day.

blueto:
if you claim that nacho was substituted as a result of the physical nature, then you are saying nacho will not thrive in epl because virtually every matches played in epl are of physical nature.

Same clear cut chances were created immediately after nolito took over iheanacho's position which led to city's second goal. Iheanacho is not a top striker!

Chrismario:
Club worldcup ....... african represtative self

DrinkWater10:
Pep took iheanacho off yesterday because he wasn't satisfied with his performance, not because he was being bullied like some one here wants us to believe.
This is the reason why U was always against him being converted to an out and out striker. There is More to his game than just goals.
I fear for his place in January when Gabriel Jesus rejoins the team.
Thegoodjoe has lost it

I am going to be direct here. you said Nacho was dropping deep to help build up play, now your own explanation of dropping deep is dropping into the advanced midfield position which isn't really dropping deep but manageable sha, now goldfish has clearly stated that Nacho could only complete six passes alone, then that means that even when he dropped deep he was contributing nothing, because if you drop deep like you are trying to imply, then you should see the ball more often and you should be able to complete more than six passes obviously! that's case one, then case two, of you drop deep and the midfielders aren't giving the ball to you, it means they want you to stay up top and stretch the defence for Christ's sake which Nacho wasn't doing all game long. he dropped deep thus affording Huth and Morgan the opportunity to push higher up the field this maintaining the compactness of the Leicester team and this gave the forward line more space to press the living daylight out of the city back four. now if Nacho pushed Morgan and Huth closer to their box, then the space between the defenders and the midfielders would increase and that would give the city midfielders enough room to function in the middle, to counter that fact, the midfielders would fall deeper into their half and this will cut off the supply line to the attack, to counter this the attackers would move deeper too and that would have given the city defence the.much needed respite, whichever way you look at it Nacho was not impressive today or to put it in a better way, he wasn't inventive today, you don't always play to the coaches instructions, when things get out of hand you try some new things with your teammates inside the field.

I know goldfish was wearing tinted glasses when he was watching that Nigeria vs Algeria match but his analysis of yesterday's match is spot on

goldfish80:

You said even before the tackle went in, you were already screaming. It paints the picture of a man who is tensed up.

safarigirl:
so what will we do about that?

We can only post our opinions here, opinions I strongly doubt anyone in City reads anyways, so I don't know why everyone is losing their minds over a bad game.

I didn't see any of you on Tuesday when he played against Celtic, did he play as an SS in that game?

It's always easy to criticise a player after a bad game and remain conveniently silent after a good one. Tomorrow, when he posts a good performance, we'll forget this talk again.

My own is just for him to leave City to another club (that will most likely play him as a TS anyway...)in January, but he should sha leave.

Since the great Jesus is coming to magically score all the goals City need to win games as well as protect the net so they don't concede, let Kelechi 'John the Baptist' clear road and find a greater assignment

goldfish80:

Am not asking you define dropping deep again. I know your pattern of argument.
You don't respond to questions when you feel it will overlap with your earlier assertions. Like you did with the Saviola,, Xavi golden boy argument.

Your reminding me of that your bloody blunder again.

Why was Saviola who joined Barcelona the golden boy.

Xavi started playing for Barcelona senior team in 1998 and Saviola joined in 2001, yet you want them to call Xavi golden boy in 2001.

Na WA for you.

Chrismario:


Yea

TheGoodJoe:


Reports say Guardiola will blend in Gabriel slowly into the team. He will not rush him. Let the young men fight for the role. Reports making ground is that Guardiola might cut off Aguero from the squad. So Nacho and Gabriel may share the role. My problem is DE Bruyne. He is showing poor attitude linking the midfield with the attack. He makes bright runs, works hard but leaves Nacho stranding. I hope Pep moves him wide in the next game and slip Silva or Gundogan behind Iheanacho.

TheGoodJoe:



Someone like you should make objective points than dribbling to suit your drivel of Iheanacho having a poor game. De Bruyne, Silva lost balls. De Bruyne made Shocking crosses. Yet you guys are picking on Nacho.

How can you talk about stretching defence and Nacho? He did that perfectly well for Christmas sake. That is why he had limited time on the ball. He worked hard and kept on running. I did not see you or your misplace pass crew point it out.

As I said, I will only take anyone who points the good side of Nacho's game along with any criticism seriously because most of you wore sunshades to the good things he did.

Imagine, stretching defense.

TheGoodJoe:


Say it as it is. Do not defend wrong. How can someone who does not know what dropping deep of a Striker is be spot on?

When Iheanacho dropped deep, he made some accurate connecting passes. He showed some nice first touches. He showed amazing speed. Yet, very few point this out and I find it Shocking. It was a poor display from the team but the young man worked very hard for the team despite the poor protection of the referee.

Mickael2:


oga, don't enter what you don't know. the bone of contention here is that someone asked how Nacho performed, we are not blaming him for the loss, we are just saying that he too was poor as well

blueto:
I wasn't very happy with his performance against Celtic. I watched the highlight and saw some glaring chance that he missed, and I'm of the opinion that man city would have trounced Celtic if iheanacho was at his best in that game.

Because I shunned expressing my dissatisfaction regarding nacho performance on this platform doesn't mean I was enraptured by it.

I support your assertion on his exit, he should leave. But I'm still resolute on the opinion that he is better as a supporting striker, at least that was what earned him a man city switch, and his 4 goals for super eagles in a row until he played as a top striker and couldn't maintain such impressive run.

Mamelodi Sundowns lost 2-0 to a team from Oceania.....so much for that

Chrismario:



D match sef vex me,,,,sundowns losing possession like mad,,,,playing as if they re looking for draw

Loogan:


oga and I am telling you that nacho was not poor simple...how do you watch a game self...is it until he dribbles the whole field that you acknowledge him...his link up play was good, his pressing was good, he had no delivery in that match, man city players don't pass the ball to nacho enough, he was being bullied by huth and morgan(premier league winners)...they only limited his effectiveness by always pulling crosses that were not entering....kelechi entered all the right postions, he gave two clear cut chances that his team mates wasted...this boy is only 20, he can't boss every match but you saying he had a bad game is shambles..
