Kog45:Ighalo is the best top 9 we have right now..too be honest I would rather have Ighalo has a forward than nacho because of his hold up play..I'm a nacho fan boy*** We play with skilful inverted forwards, you need a striker that can hold up play and bring them into the game..that's why I think Sodiq can be a back up to Ighalo, we should just let nacho be a SS OR AMF.. 2 Likes |

bad sarcasm.. it's not like Ighalo has been on fire anywhere on this earth.. Ighalo is good for Russia, but I think what the anti-Ighalo chant is sounding is that he is simply not good enough to start for us in Russia match after match going by his goals return. korlahwarleh: 1 Like |

Ighalo contributes a lot in all round play. But hey if we can get a better scorer for Russia, why not? there are a few we can add to the 35 man list just to see what they can do.. it won't hurt anyone, except probably our future opponents. bengine: |

Joebie:Ighalo's goals to games ratio for us is woeful considering his position. Maybe as a defender, he would be greatly appreciated, but his return is far too poor for a point man 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: Too be honest, I would rather have Rohr start echiejile against England because of their fast play style of play..I want to see how he would cope...I can't just pinpoint what exactly he brings to this team anymore.. |

BascoVanVeli: It seems it has been a while you watched sadiq play..I went to the stadium last year to watch him against PSG..what sadiq can do with his skills and pace, Ighalo can't do it..I don't think you have an idea how quick he is for a guy that tall.. Sodiq is young and his decision making is not the best yet, that's the only reason I don't clamour for him.. 1 Like |

Joebie: Actually the main coaching official directly involved is no longer influential in the NFF. But they old wounds. If he gets called up its simply merit and can not be ignored the same way you can not ignore Obagoal and his hat trick yesterday. |

bengine: You are spot on.. I rate him higher than the other young strikers coming up.... Ighalo's return is very poor in the Super eagles. Good work rate but does not have a good scoring rate. Kelechi is more lethal as he needs just a few chances to score. It might be too late for Sadiq but certainly one for the future. I hope Ighalo can hit a rich run of form in the WC proper |

tbaba1234: Already seen this and I watched him in Italy before he was loaned out. I am not disputing his talent but comparing him to Ighalo is not right especially if we are talking about skills and ability to beat a man 1v1. Sadiq is fast, tall and a very good player in his own right but Ighalo is at an higher level right now 2 Likes |

bengine: Bro Sadiq is not new to me. I have been following him since he broke into Roma 1st team under Rudi Garcia. This conversation is not about if the boy is talented or not because we already know that but he does not at this point have more to offer than Ighalo. 2 Likes |

Kog45: I'm sure its either he aggravated that injury or he wasn't playing well at full capacity... That groin injury is not an injury that can go in 2weeks..its still lingering there..I hope his club can manage him well to recover fully...if anything give him proper 2 weeks rest and he should go the gym and put some weight on that groin..it would make it heal faster 3 Likes |

Nothing special he is gonna offer the SE...most of his direct running have no end product(Moses Simon 2.0) we don't need another one in the team..

How can a injured player start against serbia? the same injured player staarted for his club,so because he was subbed out meaning he was injured? Where did you get the news from that he was injured?

Kog45:I think you have chewed the kolanut at the right spot. I don't know what Ighalo did wrong over the two games. He's been accused of missing 'begging chances'. Shey you see how we analyse football here. Midfield was flat, how then could Ighalo get supplies? Granted Ighalo's goal returns have been poor in the SE but in the last five games he played I've not seen what wrong he's done. 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: Ighalo has 2 goals in 9 competitive games.. His return has never been great for Nigeria We need him to somehow flip a light switch for this WC. Sometimes strikers feed on scraps and have to make their chances or make use of half chances. I watched Ighalo's game yesterday and he had plenty of service without results. Iheanacho on a bad day, needs a half chance or set piece to score but he is not getting as many games at club level. Musa is yet to hit tip-top shape in russia. Those are our three strikers.. If Kelechi is out, the chances of scoring drops significantly and we will have to depend on Moses, Iwobi and even Mikel for goals. Ighalo needs to find his early watford form this WC. In Watford, he made some goals for himself. 1 Like |

tbaba1234:Musa is out of rhythm. Agreed on the overall output of Ighalo but in the immediate context of his last five games I don't think he's done badly. Yes he should do more. He needs to. |
