forgiveness: This your last question is somehow. That is like saying if Overmars was a good right winger, Why did Luis Van Gaal prefer Finidi George to play the right wing. Iheanacho and Aguero are modern day forwards but Gabby Jesus offers more attributes. Claudio Bravo is a modern day keeper but Ederson offers more attributes. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: See how that front line was lined up: .....Iwobi.....Iheanacho ............Mikel That gave the Wing backs amply space to run and make incursions into the Argentine's 18yards box. Notably Idowu. The friendship between Iwobi and Iheanacho off the pitch was in display that day. We need to try this again We may need Ighalo if we chose to play any variant of 4-5-1. Iheanacho does not do well as a lone striker. Full set up: ...........Iwobi.....Iheanacho ..................Mikel Aina/Idowu..Ndidi..Ogu..Shehu/Ebuehi .......Balogun/Omeruo..Awaziem..Ekong. |

forgiveness: Rohr made it clear that he wants his team unpredictable. Meaning some days we can play with a traditional striker waiting to pounce on chances. Some days, we can have a False nine. Some days, two forwards with one playing as a CF and another as a Support Striker. However, to achieve this kind of flexibility requires players who can play multiple roles. Finito. 3 Likes |

forgiveness: Says who? You? Nacho needed to stay and learn. With time, he will adapt. Look at Delph and Mangala how much they have developed to suit the system. Unfortunately, Nacho felt a move would serve him better. So it is not about not being good enough. Manchester City was not prepared to let Nacho go. Which means they felt he was good enough. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe:This is a very emotional laden comment,not an analysis. Obinna was just about average for West Ham.As a matter of fact, he struggled to get into gear probably because of his new environment. Recall he even got a red card when he was settling in.... I wonder why you will make such a prejudiced comment against a club whose manager at the time Avram Grant have a decent pedigree coaching African players. At Portsmouth, the man had more black Africans than Europeans in the team. He even came down to Africa and managed Black stars. So much for an African/Nigerian hater. For goodness sake, why will Avram Grant bench a performing player when his West Ham side were neck deep into a relegation fight? This line of thought doesn't even make sense. Ahmed Musa is not playing for Leicester City for political reasons. He was basically out of Leicester City the day he laid hands on his wife. That incident was bad publicity for Leicester City. Clubs don't take the sort of things lightly. He is lucky not to be in jail. How can we be running around the Internet, craving for respect from our world cup opponents. Yet our best player is playing with the U21's. We are banking on this same player to fire us to the world cup semi finals. Yet you see nothing wrong with this? I tire for una. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

lexyman: That is why he is called the conductor of the orchestra. He conducts the tempo of the game. He releases the ball and sends the two young danger men on errands, and that they delivered against Argentina. We need more of such a combo. 4 Likes |

Icon4s: I think Nacho is built for a more offensive strategy. A system that has lots of support. Even if he is the lone striker in the formation, the wingers, creative midfielders and full backs should provide support and create chances. In most of our lone man system, we play in a compact fashion which reduces support. This I agree does not suit Nacho. I think it has more to do with the system than position. |

goldfish80: Thay is how Akpeyi has always performed. I personally rated that guy higher than the other goalies currently in the squad. What happens to him in our national colors still remains a mystery. It is only players I know that can be doing well at club but become flops for the national team not keepers. I think Akpeyi needs a personal psychologist. 2 Likes |

goldfish80: Do not lecture me on Grant. You can say maybe Nsofor had a poor attitude or something else. Not get into gear. When Nsofor was dropped, he was in full gear. I had a friend who used to laugh at West Ham during their losing spell when Nsofor was dropped. Even Slimani who is the top forward of Algeria is Finding it hard getting playing time. Playing for the U21 shows a player ready to work hard despite not seeing sufficient games. It is also a Sign of Humility. I think in Manchester United, Victor Valdes did the same when he was not seeing games at Manchester United. We are talking of a multiple Champions League winning goal keeper and a keeper who won multiple League titles. 1 Like |

goldfish80: Does Alex Iwobi not play with the U21s once in a while? Just a couple of years back Oxlade-Chamberlein and Walcott also featured for the Arsenal U21s even though they were already full members of the 3 Lions. It is just a bid to keep them match fit.

I watched some croatian WC qualifiers. I observed that whilst the midfielders are good on the ball, the CBs do not like to be pressed on the ball. They lose possession when pressed well and it has resulted in some goals conceded. 1 Like |

somehow: Nwakeme is no super eagle material (at least not the present eagles.) I've seen some of his games at his club side to arrive at that conclusion. You can give him chances to prove himself, but that would change nothing. Not even if he scores a hattrick next window. 2 Likes |
