Nacho is a forward that can play multiple roles and you select the best player for each role. At the moment, the striking position is key and Iheanacho is our best finisher. He should stay there because when we create loads, we need our best finishing.
One of the articles posted is from a coach talking of Iheanacho before the U17 World cup. Typical forgiveness posting not well thought out posts. You want us to take the decision of an amateur coach over highly paid professionals like Pellegrini and Vieira who played Nacho as a nine.
All the name Nacho has made so far in club football came as him playing as a striker. Forget the whole Guardiola talk in reference of Nacho's club football because he was doing it before Guardiola. 1 Like |

Why will you not hold on the bolded when it suits your view. Iheanacho became one of the most lethal finishers in the EPL and you want people to believe he is not good enough as a striker because an amateur coach said so. 1 Like |

Iheanacho is good as a CF but better as an SS and AMF.... that is what I have been saying for the past couple of posts now. But shouting all over the thread that Iheanacho is useless as a CF is pure fallacy and I will not tolerate fallacy. He is still the one player in the EPL with the best goals per mins ratio for strikers in the EPL since August 2015!!!!! That is no child's play and no small achievement for a player you say is not good enough or is useless as a CF/No.9. So many Analysts and top sites have always acknowledged Iheanacho's impact as a no.9 even though some others state his most effective roles as an SS and an AM. Telegraph UK in their comment on Iheanacho in their Prestigious best 50 U-21 players in the world today said this: "Has had his first team time reduced under Pep Guardiola's management but Iheanacho is one of the best young strikers around. Has scored six goals in nine games for Nigeria and could well move out on loan this summer to play more football. So many more top coaches, sites and analysts and pundits/Journos also acknowledge Nacho's impact as a no.9 even though I admit he is far more dangerous and far more influential as a no.10 and a no.8. I am saying.... get your analysis right and make it very balanced. You cannot term the deadliest no.9 and striker in the EPL since august 2015 not good enough or useless as a striker. And you also cannot term the striker with the best Goals per mins ratio in EPL history for 10+ goals and more at a point before season's end "not good enough". No need showing you the views of many others who acknowledge Nacho as a good no 9. In a nutshell, Iheanacho is good enough as a no.9 and has shown it overtime. One or two bad games cannot diminish that fact. He is good enough as a no.9 but just better and more influential as a no.10 (AM) and no.8 (SS). Also.... your comment on the national team being a cult is a strong comment to make. Without proof, it is a baseless comment to make. Period. forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! TheSuperNerd don vex.
Which players do I hate?
"he keeps making case for Solanke and Ajagun and we know why" kindly, please tell me why?
How am I running down a player?
Who is/are those players? Iheanacho?
Bia! My stance remains that Iheanacho is not a CF and many analyst has agreed to that obvious fact.
The boy is good as a SS or ATM. Is that that what you term running Iheanacho down ( I suppose he is the one you are referring to)?
Is it too difficult to see?
Did you see me mention Iheanacho should not be called to the national team or he is not good enough as a player?
Guy!! You have misunderstood and misinterpreted the whole argument to hate. Maka why, biko?

Co colleague Isaac Success has spoken. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) Number 5, another big misconception.
You will enjoy Mikel more playing as a creative midfielder. That does not mean Mikel can not play as a quality defensive midfielder.
You will enjoy watching Iheanacho playing in a deeper role because he will see more of the ball and you will get to enjoy his delightful touches. That does not mean that Iheanacho can not deliver as a quality striker.
You can see you are spreading misconceptions all over the place.
Enjoying a player does not mean it is his best position. Iheanancho's best position for the team during a game is the position that will help the team win easily. At the moment we need him taking those killer shots and that is why Rohr plays him in front.
When Osimhen comes of age, which I expect will happen in the near future, I want both of them going at defenders with frightening pace.
Neymar plays very well as a left forward and exceptionally brilliant when he is in the nine role. Same for Messi and Sanchez. It is the modern game. |

TheGoodJoe:
I do not get what you guys are talking.
Nacho is a forward that can play multiple roles and you select the best player for each role. At the moment, the striking position is key and Iheanacho is our best finisher. He should stay there because when we create loads, we need our best finishing.
One of the articles posted is from a coach talking of Iheanacho before the U17 World cup. Typical forgiveness posting not well thought out posts. You want us to take the decision of an amateur coach over highly paid professionals like Pellegrini and Vieira who played Nacho as a nine.
All the name Nacho has made so far in club football came as him playing as a striker. Forget the whole Guardiola talk in reference of Nacho's club football because he was doing it before Guardiola. @bolded 1, which of the article is before U17 World cup? ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) @bolded 2, is Pelegrin better than Guardiola(though I don't trust him)? ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) |

Did Guardiola not play Iheanacho as a no.9?? And when Pep played him up top, did Nacho not deliver the goods for the most parts?? Did he not score goals?? So what are you even saying by asking if Pelle is better than pep?? I remember one of my problems with pep being that he only sees Nacho as a no.9 and a finisher and is even blind to his abilities an SS and AMF.... which he showed most especially against Southampton at the Etihad in the early pasts of the just concluded season. So are you saying Pep does not consider Nacho a no.9?? Na wa.... forgiveness:

TheSuperNerd: Iheanacho is good as a CF but better as an SS and AMF.... that is what I have been saying for the past couple of posts now.
But shouting all over the thread that Iheanacho is useless as a CF is pure fallacy and I will not tolerate fallacy.
He is still the one player in the EPL with the best goals per mins ratio for strikers in the EPL since August 2015!!!!! That is no child's play and no small achievement for a player you say is not good enough or is useless as a CF/No.9.
So many Analysts and top sites have always acknowledged Iheanacho's impact as a no.9 even though some others state his most effective roles as an SS and an AM.
Telegraph UK in their comment on Iheanacho in their Prestigious best 50 U-21 players in the world today said this:
"Has had his first team time reduced under Pep Guardiola's management but Iheanacho is one of the best young strikers around. Has scored six goals in nine games for Nigeria and could well move out on loan this summer to play more football.
So many more top coaches, sites and analysts and pundits/Journos also acknowledge Nacho's impact as a no.9 even though I admit he is far more dangerous and far more influential as a no.10 and a no.8.
I am saying.... get your analysis right and make it very balanced.
You cannot term the deadliest no.9 and striker in the EPL since august 2015 not good enough or useless as a striker.
And you also cannot term the striker with the best Goals per mins ratio in EPL history for 10+ goals and more at a point before season's end "not good enough".
No need showing you the views of many others who acknowledge Nacho as a good no 9.
In a nutshell, Iheanacho is good enough as a no.9 and has shown it overtime. One or two bad games cannot diminish that fact.
He is good enough as a no.9 but just better and more influential as a no.10 (AM) and no.8 (SS).
Also.... your comment on the national team being a cult is a strong comment to make. Without proof, it is a baseless comment to make. Period.
Who is shouting upandan "Nacho is useless as a CF"? I said Nacho is not good enough for the CF position... in the National team (in addition). Chikena. From the quote, how many goals did Nacho score since he started playing as a CF for the Super Eagles? |

Cameroon Coach Admits – We Are Searching For Goal Scoring Striker Before Clash With Nigeria![](https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/IMG_3145.jpg) Cameroon coach Hugo Broos admits he is desperately searching for a goal scoring striker after his team missed several chances to draw 1-1 against Australia at the ongoing FIFA Confederations Cup. After their engagement in the Confederations Cup, Cameroon will take on Nigeria in the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers, where a positive result in the back to back clash will help their bid to overhaul group leaders Nigeria. However Broos is of the opinion that a positive result for his team could be dependant on finding a striker who guarantees goals, as that is what the team lacks at the moment. At the last Africa Cup of Nations which Cameroon won defend Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui emerged as top scorer for the team with two goals out of the seven they scored at the Championship which they won in Gabon. ” If you have one (striker) in mind, please tell me his name and i’ll go straight away and see him”, Broos said in an interview picked up by Owngoalnigeria.com online editor. ” We’re searching, we’re searching, we’re searching and we keep on searching but you have to be able to find one. Someone who scores goals. “Yes, it’s very easy to say you haven’t got players who score, but you have to find them. You should known as someone from Cameroon that Cameroonian football is not as rich (in strikers) at the moment “, he said. **Ade Emmanuel Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/06/24/cameroon-coach-admits-we-are-searching-for-goal-scoring-striker-before-clash-with-nigeria/ |

Your understanding of what you are reading is misleading you. Guardiola did not feel Bony will cut it at Manchester City. Does that mean Bony is not a number nine? You guys reason what you are reading before arguing. An Guardiola said normally I like one striker. He did not say Kelechi does not cut it as a nine. He is talking in respect of the competition in the club. Gabriel Jesus and Aguero are big competitions. the fact that they had to spend so much to buy another striker should be the answer. I mean if you have a good player why spend so much on another? |

That second post says nothing. I doubt you even understand what you are posting. Guardiola normally likes playing with one striker unlike Pellegrini who plays with two strikers. There is no place that entails Guardiola does not believe Iheanacho can not play well as a striker. Do you mean the 3rd post? Guardiola said he likes playing one striker when he was asked why Iheanacho is not playing. Why was Nacho not used when Aguero was injured? Why was Gabriel Jesus bought if he thinks he has the best striker in EPL in the person of Nacho? Why relegate Nacho out of the match day squad immediately Gabriel Jesus came to the team? Why play Sterling as striker when Gabriel and Aguero were injured? Why declare the best striker in the EPL surplus to requirement? Food for thought. As you have rightly said, Nacho performed well under Pelegrin because he used 2 strikers. EOD 1 Like |

Guardiola had Aguero one of the best striker in the World, bought Gabriel Jesus and dropped Aguero on the bench. Does that mean Aguero is not a good striker or is useless as a striker?

Victor Moses To Miss Chelsea Premier League Opener Vs Burnley, Cleared To Face Arsenal![](https://allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/50175Moses.jpg) According to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com , Nigeria international Victor Moses might not be available for selection when Chelsea tackle Burnley in their first Premier League game of the new season. The right wing-back will be handed a one-game suspension by the Football Association following his sending off in the final of the Emirates FA Cup on May 27. Moses received a second yellow card in the 68th minute and was sent off by referee Anthony Taylor for diving in the penalty area without Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain making contact. Using Manchester United defender Chris Smalling as a case study, the England star was suspended for the opening game of the 2016-2017 campaign after he was sent off in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace on May 21, 2016. Smalling's one-match ban did not include the FA Community Shield, and he missed the game versus Leicester City due to fitness concerns. Thus, Victor Moses is in contention to face Arsenal in the Community Shield on August 6. **Ifeanyi Emmanuel Source: http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=23526 1 Like |
