Iheanacho

[Ayo Akinfe]

I don't understand why Iheanacho needs to be molded into the world's perfect forward with no weaknesses before he can be given the opportunity to play, while Ighalo is continually rubbish and plays 70+ minutes a match. Ighalo is strong and works hard, but he is not some savant of holdup play. We haven't really gleaned much from his yeoman work and the guy has been no threat to goal whatsoever.

We need goals and Kelechi can score them. It is very, very simple.

Did you watch Argentina vs Croatia? Did you see how frustrated Messi was?

Did you watch Nigeria vs (Insert any opponent other than Cameroon for the entirety of Ighalo's SE career?)? Did this not frustrate you?

Ighalo is 10 times a better targetman than Iheanacho. Take it or leave it!

But who is the better striker?

Iheanacho is not a striker per se. In our 4-3-3 formation, he and Moses are wife forwards playing either side of Ighalo. You saw how Retic and Peresic played those roles today behind and wide of Mandzukick. That is what Rohr needs to do and get Iwobi playmaking ahead of Ndidi and Mikel.

What position did Iheanacho play vs Croatia?

Please stop stressing me out. If Rohr wants to field our best team today, it has to look like this:

************************Ighalo****************************

***********Moses****************Iheanacho*************

**************************Iwobi***************************

***************Ndidi*******************Mikel**************

****Joel******Balogun********Ekong**********Ebuehi***

***************************Uzoho*************************

Now that is our best team. Note the word TEAM! Anything else is a nonsense!
