LET US TALK ABOUT IHEANACHO

[1naija]

One thing for sure though, Ighalo is a better player fullstop.

Even Ighalo is piss poor..... forget the 6 goals against Libya... I don't understand why the coach is loyal to dead weight players Like Ighalo and Nacho... we have better options out there

Where are the better options? Under ikoyi bridge?

which one of the bridges in Ikoyi?

The one where 10 okochas play under.

Not sure why guys are being so hard on Iheanacho .

Other than that first touch blunder he had a solid game in my estimation with his one touch give and go combinations with other players and had the referee been half way decent the first goal of the match should have been credited him. His sense of positioning was top class

I believe many have forgotten how he sparked our comeback against Argentina in last years friendly and I believe he had like two assists in that game . Likewise his free kick against seychelles that came
Off the bar for our 2nd goal was top class .
IMHO he is our best free kick taker and he is totally unselfish

All in all I believe people are letting their Emotions get to them and should go rewatch the game
Again . I would take nacho any day over ighalo

Boss, I hate to say this but that 'assist' you refer to v Argentina was actually a 'miscontrol' that found its way into the path of Idowu who slotted home.
Watch it again.
It looked like a great pass and we convinced ourselves that it was a great pass, but it wasn't.
We all want our golden boy to succeed and what you're reading is frustration creeping in.
We still love Nacho but there are other kids impatiently knocking on the door...

Bros I actually had the second goal in mind moreso than the idowu goal see link


Agreed he has a poor first touch when trying to
Line himself up but all players have a deficiency or two. he however more than makes up for it . His eye for the 1-2 pass is Simply second to none in the eagles setup

I watched the replay of the game on super sports last night and lheanacho actually had a far better game than I thought initially.

If it weren't for poor officiating he would have had a goal from the fantastic splitting pass he made to Musa which Musa passed back to him and he scored in the first disallowed goal.

He hustled hard and could not be "kwaked" off the ball, which was clearly one of South Africa strategies. The commentator nailed it when he his positioning was strategic. He was played in a withdrawn position to provide some support in the midfield, which he did superbly. The only real mistake he made was not being able to controll that pass from Musa that would have given him a clear one on one situation with the SA goalie.

The person I think needs to be talked to by Rohr is Iwobi. He is excellent when he makes one touch passes, but often in that game he tried to dribble when a simple pass would have sufficed and each time he lost the ball like Okocha. Okocha must be kept far away from Iwobi or he won't make it as a serious playmaker.

Where Nigeria still has major issues is the defence, especially in the 3 man formation used yesterday. But even with all the errors, we scored 3 clear goals in a game South Africa could not afford to lose at home.

Good word

I also thought he was ok playing as a target man. He had that bad touch but wasnt as bad as people make it out to be IMO.

He had a choice to join Spurs but went for the money. Well I dont blame him perhaps he felt that he couldnt get a fair shot with Dele, Chadli, Kane, Lamela, Njie, Janssen et al. However consider that three of the aforementioned have been replaced with Son, Moura and Nkoudou.
