Not one person, not one person here truly knows why Iheanacho is not playing regularly. All we opine are at best safe assumptions, postulations, suppositions and guesses. To say confidently that Kc is not getting regular playing time because he is learning drills or needs to learn drills is just an assumption. The reality might be far from what we think. So some bit of humility is necessary cos no one truly knows since no one in the know has authoritatively come out to address the issue. For the devil himself knows not the thoughts of Man.

Icon4s:


Excuse me. Are you telling me that the ideal is to get only drills and no game time?

All those 'drills, fitness routine, dieting to reduce weight ' that you mentioned is it that players who play regular game time do not undergo those too?
Or are you implying a player will have to chose between drills and regular play time?

I am not understanding.

You are now saying 'IF there is no game time move'. We are telling you there is no game time. PEP DOES NO HAVE PLANS FOR IHEANACHO FROM 2017/2018 SEASON AND BEYOND. So that means NO GAME TIME FOR IHEANACHO FOR THE 2017/2018 SEASON! that is the hand writing on the wall that you have read but purposely blocked your mind from reading the meaning.

WE ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE 2018 IS OUR WORLD CUP YEAR AND WE WANT IHEANACHO TO MAINTAIN A REGULAR PLAYING TIME LEADING TO THE WORLD CUP. That is my point and that of some others here. Is that difficult to accept?

TheSuperNerd:
This is what I have been hammering for long..... And not only me. But I do mine devoid of hits on Nacho himself...
This is the perfect combo for the development of a young player.

Just ask AS Monaco.... This is their model and this is why Djibril Sidibe chose Monaco over Arsenal despite Arsenal's fame as one of Europe's top sides for developing Young talents. Sidibe was never gonna see as many minutes at arsenal as he saw when he began at Monaco and today he is one one of France's brightest right back options... and guess what? he is still learning....


Pep is just drilling nacho but not playing him at all or at best, playing him for meagre minutes... #just poor.

Abeg... summer no dey far. Summer don reach sef... Nacho will seek playing time in as much as he still grows in the game.

Chelsea midfielder, Victor Moses, has said he hopes to have proved that he has the ability to remain in the first team at Stamford Bridge.

Oasis007:
There is one Club I wish Iheanacho can join in the Summer - the Club is Monaco!

I strongly believe he can become the new Prince of Monaco if he'd move to save his deteriorating career on Drilling!

daveP:
cos mbappe is moving to north london to become new thierry? how bout he moves to join wenger too?

TheGoodJoe:


And what about the journalist who confirmed the manager's point.

I also pointed it out before the manager said it. I doubt you understand Iheanacho's contribution. Iheanacho's constant running and movement gave Moses the room to shine. That was the point. So saying Moses did well showed you totally missed the point or did not even follow the post match news.

Oasis007:


Nah!

It's simply because of play time! Right now, Mbappe is far rated than Iheanacho because he has his chances to show the Drills he learned on the Pitch!

daveP:
cos mbappe is moving to north london to become new thierry? how bout he moves to join wenger too?

daveP:
yeah im the SAN4 NACHO on this playing time ish. im just thinking he will get rekindled under wenger

Oasis007:
How old is Leroy Sane?! Is he not younger than Iheanacho?! When he came to Manchester City, he was drilled for few Weeks, was given his Chances and he's now an integral Part of the Team.

I remember last Season, Iheanacho was over the Media in England. He was acknowledged as the most clinical in the EPL. He was compared with Rashford and everyone was expecting to perhaps outshine Rashford and other young Lads in the League this Season.

Alas! If he wasn't given a Chance by Pellegrini, how would the World know how talented he is?! Who's watching Drills and Trainings?! Engineering isn't about Theory, rather Practical - coz I'm expecting an Engineer to show me how it's done, not to tell me!

Jesus..... Iheanacho age mate ought to be recuperating now, yet he's getting a Cameo and gradually returning back to the starting Lineup!

I guess Nolito, despite his Experience, is back to drilling School?!

When I say someone is maddeningly in love with Pep so much that their opinions reek of bias and wont see from other people's perspective, then it looks like attack on their personality. Like I said , everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Just dont share those sentiments where enlightened folks are. If Pep were that good, he would be winning UCL back to back since the days of Barca. Not even sure he won a single UCL at Bayern. The dude is so arrogant he even took Sabatical after he left Barca. Question is what happened after he left? Football didnt stop. And here he is stuck to one stupid ideology. Making a mould for strikers to fit into. Not flexible upfront. Sent Joe Hart away with body language of preference for Bravo. What has he achieved with all that. If he won @ Bayern, its because the players were individually good. If he wants to test his might, he should take a team like sunderland that lacks quality and transform them into champions, I dare say in 6 seasons.

As per our own concern/business interest in man city ... and thats Iheanacho, he is not a beginner. Scorin over 13goals in EPL is not beans. Iheanacho has been fast way before Lord Guardiola came. So all these talk of drills dont fly. I see sterling play rubbish week in week out. Still as selfish as can be. Aguero hasnt exactly been scoring hat tricks in every match as one would expect, considering the almighty anointing of Guardiola, Grandmaster Jedi of football. I see Gabriel Jesus and frankly he isnt playing anything different. Its just a case of belief in your preferred player. Why will you not perform if you have your coach's backing?
Pep is as petty as saying Toure wont play until his agent apologizes to him, to his team. Third party apology! Haba. So to me, I would more or less want to go with the school of thought that says Iheanacho had a fallout with him based on agent issues. The true story will unfold in a matter of weeks. I trust Iheanacho to do the needful. Move out of City before he gets left behind in foolish idiosycracies and obsolete ideologies.

Oasis007:


I wouldn't advise him to join Arsenal. Trust me, he's still gonna be kept on the Bench at Arsenal.

Arsenal must buy world Class Players in the Summer to redeem the Image of the Club, hence a Player like Iheanacho is definitely not the type they need!

I will rather advise him to join Hoffenham, Seville, or Monaco!

AIG07:
I don't even see the lad moving to any rival club in England considering his talent. I'm very sure Pep himself knows this and he won't make that mistake. As you've stated above, if any permanent move is to materialize I see him moving out of england.

What is the huge gap? You believe 90 mins in a week is a big gap to hours daily. Na wa.

Please, simple, the true work is behind-the-scenes.

Icon4s:

I just tire.

bigblangston:
The most used word on this thread is DRILL... I can't even help saying that word in between mouthfuls these days

AIG07:

*smiles*
The man called Pep is too Rigid when it comes to his approach to football. He sent Hart away for a ball playing Bravo and kept playing him not until everton thrashed him 4 goals to nothing.
Well I pray he delivers something next season. Else... E go see d other side of English fans.

BascoVanVeli:

I'm telling u, thegoodjoe will force all of us into heavy drinking.

zicky:
Where is Goodjoe, debaters club president, I was expecting him to quote every comment to explain why only Nacho should be drilled for 2yrs in Mancity without playing.

BascoVanVeli:

Please answer these few questions. Do u see 50,000 fans at training? Is there pressure at training? Is training live on tv and seen across the world? How hard do u get kicked at training? Are u telling us that EPL referees blow training matches for man city? Can u put training goals on a CV?

binhozie:


The point is that in the matches before then he scored a screamer made those same runs you are talking about and against Zambia he scored a brilliant goal or is it 2 sef and still made those runs, I only said he had a quiet game simple, and pls Moses scored the first goal because he took on defenders got to the box did a one two with the Algerian defender and almost got obstructed by iheanacho (fact), Iheanacho contribution in the second goal was a pass to Etebo who gave a delightful final ball to Mikel to win the mannequin challenge. Third goal Moses ran into position and anticipated a good pass from Musa picked his spot from Musa gbam forth chance iheanacho receives a pass from Musa and plays to the skies
He is a great player and maybe the most talented player in the group but he was not the reason we beat Algeria (fact) abi u wan find ratings for the match, That's my 2 pence, And lemme still bust your head understanding what Guardiola wants doesn't guarantee u greatness if not where are Cuenca, tello now.
