There is no point, the coach will prefer using wingers ahead of his striker... Does that strike you as someone the coach has confidence in? Whether you admit to it or not, the arrival of Jesus has severely hurt Iheanacho's already slim playing chances. The coach will play Jesus, Nolito or sterling upfront before Kelechi.

tbaba1234:


Delph is not competing for an attacking role on the bench.. Jesus is... Kelechi was the one dropped..

TheGoodJoe:


There is limited options on the bench. Gabriel Jesus is a poster boy of the team, coupled with the return of Delph. If Delph did not return, Iheanacho would have made the bench.

zicky:
Are you sure you read the writeup or you just want to argue, most guys on this sports section don't give a fvck bout Man city we just want what good for Nigeria players. From season Iheanacho was the poster, he was like a man city project, he was use to project to the world the growth and quality in the mancity academy, even when this season kits was unveiled, Iheancho was one of the players called up, so if you are telling me Jesus is now the poster boy after few months then our boy Iheanacho gat no future in Mancity.

TheGoodJoe:

The thing about people like you, you start rash but at the end, say things off point. You asked if I read the write up, please, show me what you think I missed.

zicky:
you miss these "There was also a sense of expectation surrounding the development of youngster Kelechi Iheanacho, as it were the firstborn from the bowels of the “New Manchester City”.

zicky:
Sorry bros if I sound rash, bt for people like us that watch some of this foreign clubs because we want to watch our players perform won't be happy with what's happening to Nacho, many football expert and fans are saying thesame thing, "Guardiola is killing this guy confidence" and only you feel Guardiola is in the right path with Nacho, I don't think you want the best for Nacho, you are only concern about you club.

TheGoodJoe:


It is about strategy. Guardiola wanted to play someone with pace upfront in that game and Sterling suited the role.

tbaba1234:


LOL, you can justify anything for Pep.

TheGoodJoe:


Ha. I expected something fresh than killing confidence. That I just regurgitated stuff thrown around.

Say what you know. You do not know what I think.

zicky:
I believe you read the part the writer spoke about Nacho starting just 5games and not going beyond the 60mins even after scoring and assisting save for one.

What will you call that "confidence booster"

TOP FIVE TEAMS IN AFRICA.

See the list of top 10 African teams I gave him in no particular order:

Nigeria
Ghana
Cameroun
Ivory Coast
Senegal
Algeria
Egypt
Tunisia
Morocco
DR Congo

I want to throw it open to the house, forget about FIFA ranking. Using your knowledge of African football and knowing the capabilities of these individual nations can u list the best 5 teams presently in Africa? If you don't agree with my top 10 you can also list yours.

cc: All parliamentarians here.

Icon79:
And by the way, did anyone realize that Cristiano Ronaldo has NOT scored any goal since he was named the FIFA player of the year? And in that time window, peerless Leo Messi has scored 6 times.

Both FIFA (and the Ballon D'Or organizers) should be ashamed of themselves.

Can u people stop this nonsense Guadiola and mancity talk and focus on the essence of the thread. Super eagles and Russia world cup.
Of a thruth people don't have time to read all these needless arguments that derail the tread and portray us as jobless people.
Let's stick to the super eagles.issues. this thread has help us to follow them closely

Icon79:


Based on what I have seen at the AFCON, my top 5 would be (in this particular order):

Senegal
DR Congo
Ghana
Egypt
Tunisia

The jury is still out on Nigeria. I will find it difficult to rank a team that didn't qualify for the AFCON amongst the top 5 teams in Africa. Two games does not a team make.

Lazyerudite:

I initially pointed it out and it is not one but two nations cup, however they will get there. The game against Cameroon will show us a lot, I also want us to remember that we needed defenders on our bench just in case someone gets injured

Lazyerudite:

Errrrrm, the essence of the arguement still boils down to the success of Nacho

Kog45:
Yes truly coz Iheanacho but if i may ask who is real poser of Nigeria football between Iheanacho and Iwobi.

ofcos its Nacho, a Nigeria project from the U-13
Iwobi is a steal

Kog45:
Yes good defenders,not only on d bench but good ones that w give d regulars tough competition.

I always like to re watch most Nigeria matches,i can say from Algeria match,w still have a long way to go in our defence,good right full back needed and work need to be done with our central defence especially Ekong who has to build his confidence,not forgetting most experience Eagles defender Elderson Echiejele,who need to always show consistencies in his game.

I know comment like this w come up and truly w need to draw a curtain on Guardiola,Man city issues here,though Iheanacho development was always d main attraction but w have many young ones coming up that deserves our attentions'
