Why jump to 1961 when we are in 2017? Let us use the current state of the players. At the moment, Nacho is still developing when it comes to fluid movement. He is miles away from moving like Lewandowski. Lewandowski's first touch is also breathtaking.

Nacho has a manager ready to get him to understand these concepts which in turn will make him better. I disagree that Nacho should work away from this golden opportunity. Playing time is overrated. Ask Iwobi.

BascoVanVeli:


Iwobi has done well for a young player, i don't get why u keep bringing is name up, it sounds like u are just kicking him while he is down. Also Lewandowski didn't have to sit on the bench to learn anything.

TheSuperNerd:

Point me to the period where Lewandowski was left on the bench and on the training ground for a long time before he became the beast he is today.....

Point me to the period he was left out of match days squads.... after he left Poland....

And talking about 1961.... I have to go there because same pep is always saying Nacho is just a box player and can finish bla bla bla.....

As if Pep didn't see Nacho's brilliance in that game where he actually controlled the game and brought others into play.

As if Pep didn't see Nacho in Nigeria's colors doing this thing.

Same pep opens his ignorant mouth to say nonsense.

TheGoodJoe:


These things come naturally to some. Players like Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldo De Lima etc. Lewandowski is a natural, just like Firmino, Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus. If Nacho moves better than these players, I doubt he will see less game time.

When Nacho improves on it, he will see more opportunities. Guardiola showed this season that he can improve players. We saw it in Delph, Sane and Caballero. We will see it in Nacho. Time.

TheGoodJoe:


We can not change the truth. Nacho is not fluid enough. The young man is working hard on it and his Hardwork will payoff soon.

TheSuperNerd:
But he is fluid at all.... isn't he? He is fluid.... only that "enough" is missing....

But pep won't admit to it.... he only comments that Nacho can finish and that is all


But Pellegrini said otherwise... He said... "Nacho is a striker but is much more than a striker... he offers more outside and around the box also... Yes, he is a finisher but also more than that... there is whole lot to his game many haven't come to see yet"

And you think Pep knows more than Pellergrini abi?? Pelle sees what pep is outrightly denying.... very classic.

TheGoodJoe:


Remember, Pellegrini plays a direct brand if attacking football. His style is more suited to Nacho's pressing attacking play.

Guardiola's system requires more, that is why he is more demanding. He wants more from Iheanacho than a prolific striker.

Nacho will get it soon.

Gernot Rohr: The door is open for Vincent Enyeama in the Nigeria national team

by Austin Ditlhobolo

Sunday Apr 16, 2017. 18:00
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has revealed that Vincent Enyeama has problems with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).

OSC Lille goalkeeper Enyeama quit the Super Eagles in 2015 after a row with former coach Sunday Oliseh.

Rohr has since stated that the door is open for 34-year-old shot-stopper, who has over 100 caps for Nigeria, to return to the Super Eagles.

"The door is open for Vincent Enyeama in the national team,", Rohr told Tomiwababalola.com.

"I think he had a problem with the federation, so he wanted someone to call him before coming.

"They called him or they didn’t reach him I don’t know," the German tactician continued.

”We have three goalkeepers at the moment but we will welcome everybody who will respect our work rate, solidarity and humility.

"And not expect special favors. So the door is opened also to Enyeama."

TheGoodJoe:


Iwobi did well in the hype that he is playing regularly for Arsenal. It is undeniable that the young man lost his uniqueness in the Euphoria.

I expect Iwobi to come back better and improved. I hope he keeps the lesson learned from Gatting after this period. There is a lot of work to stay at the top of the game. There is a reason why Scholes, Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, Giggs and Buffon lasted so long at the top.

It is not about playing time but respecting the effect of practice and discipline.

Advice to Wenger, pronlmote Gatting to your technical crew.

do4luv14:



yes ooo i sincerely prayer he came back, pls VINCENT we want you back,

jst wish our supporters will carry a banner calling for his return, it will surely go a long way

TheSuperNerd:
I am more particular about what the two coaches saw and said of Nacho's abilities.

Pep's view of him is kinda limited I must confess.


And yes, Nacho will get it right. I trust he will....

But remember, he is already a sought-after super talent....

BascoVanVeli:


I don't like it, Enyeama should make up his mind because he is unsettling Ikeme with all this drama.

BascoVanVeli:


The only thing i want Pep to teach Iheanacho right now is German.

AIG07:
You guys still de argue wit Sir TheGoodJoe on top kelechi matter?

Me I don sabi TheGoodJoe teytey E no go gree make nacho leave city. He prefers him to keep learning and training without playing under pep till boy starts to grow grey hair from frustration.

Football is an amazing sport but it has a very short memory.
Watching Rashford play against Chelsea last evening made me to wonder if it wasn't the same lad competing wit Nacho for Headline. I come de shake my head for Nacho, his agent and his selfish pa. They all saw the hand clearly written on d wall and they couldn't take proactive measure.

I hope he bounces back soon cos even presently I'm not happy with the names of clubs making offer for him and stuff like these can psychologically affect his development into a super player we want him to become.

Since Nacho offers more I think he deserves more. So I say he gets outta city and re-launch his career.

TheGoodJoe:


Dybala is 23 while Iheanacho is 20. This is the formative years of Iheanacho and learning this fluid movement as a striker will make him one of the deadliest finishers in the game. He is already exceptional striking, add this movement and we have a possible legend.

If Iheanacho was 23, I will not say stay. It is clear Guardiola treasures the mobile forwards. Players like Gabriel Jesus, Mbappe, Lewandowski, Suarez and Firmino have this naturally.

Iheanacho working with Aguero and Gabriel Jesus who have mastered it will help him get it soon. Give the young man time.

how old is mbappe?

is he playing regularly or not?

TheGoodJoe:


There is what is called natural gift. Nacho's finishing is natural. It takes time to teach a kid to finish like that. Mbappe's work rate is natural and it will take time to teach a kid to do what he does naturally.

Nacho has the natural finishing but learning the fluid movement will need Hardwork and time.

BascoVanVeli:


Scape goat is more like it. No arsenal player has put a foot right in a month right or wrong? People all of a sudden say he was not disciplined enough outside the pitch but that is hearsay. We don't know him and we cannot judge him just on imagination. Every young player hits a wall once in a while, no big deal but where are Ozil and Sanchez?

jotey:

you said dybala is 23 and that's the reason he has more game time than nacho

now I am asking how old is mbappe?

the mbappe that destroyed man shitty?

TheGoodJoe:


You did not understand the point. I said Dybala is 23, so we can talk of him having game time even if he is deficient in some areas. Iheanacho is 20 and I said he can use this period to polish some deficient areas.

I will not have problem if a coach notices some weakness in Mbappe's game and want him to work on it. Even if that means him sitting on the bench. If Mbappe was above 22, I will say there is no need and let that be his way.

Remember Benteke. I would have advised him to leave Liverpool because of his age. If he was younger, I will say study Firminho and improve your game.

TheGoodJoe:


When we are building plays, watch Nacho's movement. He is attacking the box and waiting for the team to pass to him. Watch Aguero in a similar scenario, he is dropping deep to get the ball and help the midfield become more fluid.

Watch Firmino, he is down the flanks creating options for the midfielders to pass to. In the game against Hull, Iheanacho showed improvement. With time, he will get it. Playing time in another club will not guarantee Nacho will develop this.

TheGoodJoe:


Watch Firmino play the nine role and watch Nacho play it, there is so much difference. Watch Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus track back and watch Nacho, you will see the difference.

When Nacho adds this to his locker, we will see pure brilliance. The young man can get it right.

jotey:

iheanacho is older than mbappe yet no game time for iheanacho..

by your logic ...mbappe should b on the bench because he is young

Oga Joe just listen to yourself

TheGoodJoe:


Mbappe did not destroy Manchester City. He scored and had an okay game. Fabinho and Bagayoko also scored.

Humility017:


and learn how to track back to defend...

that's the drilling coach desire of a striker..
even mourinho that play defensive football don't require so much of a striker...likewise conte
