Ighalo
I just saw the highlights of the game and one moment stuck out to me. In the first half, we had a break away with Ighalo and Musa. All Ighalo had to do was pass to Musa for a wide open net and he chose to shoot into the side netting. What the hell was that? I think he needs to be benched again due to that one error, because that was a guaranteed goal.
This type of selfishness is like a cancer that can screw up the team, and that should not be allowed.

Re: Ighalo
The fact that he scored the winner in the last game made him go from confident to overconfident. He enjoyed being the hero.
I still maintain my position that he's better off coming off the bench. It keeps him hungry.

Re: Ighalo
that was shocking from Ighalo.
Bench him ?
hmm. Even in the few minutes Onuachu was on the pitch he displayed his poor lack of first touch.

Re: Ighalo
That was just bad. He claims he didn’t see Musa but that’s hard to believe. The choice he made was so bad that it’s almost as if he hated Musa. Scoring from that angle is next to impossible

If he’s going to do that, then we might as well play 10 against 11. That was just scandalous.vancity eagle wrote:that was shocking from Ighalo.

There is no way in hell he didn’t see him. If he didn’t see him - that’s even more reason to bench him, because he obviously needs glasses.deanotito wrote:That was just bad.

Musa also set him up brilliantly in the first half, but he fluffed his lines.

Osimhen is the Super Eagles joker. At some point in this tournament, he will come off the bench and make the difference.

Re: Ighalo
Ighalo is adequate. Nothing more, nothing less. He has some really good attributes (with some detriments), and Nigeria can certainly win the AFCON with him. I don't really see it at all with Onuachu. there are benefits to having someone with his physical gifts, but I just don't think he is very talented.
We really need Oshimen to fulfill his potential and Iheanacho to wake up from the dead. The strikers are the weakest part of a fairly strong squad at this point.

I agree. Ighalo is still our best striker by a mile even with his stupidity today. At least until Osimehn fulfills his potential.vancity eagle wrote:that was shocking from Ighalo.

Re: Ighalo
Yeah that should have been a goal. Ighalo selfishness cost us a goal there.
I hope Rohr reads him the riot act.

Yes, that was bad. But he did have a good game.

His hold up play is second to none. Strong on the ball and with one of the best first touches in traffic of any of our strikers.
He also worked his socks off.

Hope Osimhen gets to start against a team we don't need the match to top our group. Problem go dey if he scores multiple goals...truetalk wrote:Osimhen should be in the mix.

But Ighalo is still our best striker as a lone striker. You have to appreciate the work he puts in. Very very strong on the ball and his runs are a beauty to behold.

Re: Ighalo
He has to play before he can fulfill it. Thankfully having qualified and looking all but sure to top the group, it might give Rohr the confidence to try him (and Onyekuru,, and Ezenwa) against Madagascar.green4life wrote:I agree.

That said, I disagree that Ighalo is our best striker. He's out best targetman when mixing it up with physical defenders, and he is the best at playing with his back to goal and holding up play, however Osimhen is more clinical, and versatile. Heck even Musa when played up front, is more clinical than Ighalo who doesn't even pack a punch in his shots.

Re: Ighalo
Certainly, Ighalo was selfish or very stupid in that moment. Had he crossed the ball, we probably would have scored a goal. I hope he will watch the game and make correction(s).muzines wrote:I just saw the highlights of the game and one moment stuck out to me. In the first half, we had a break away with Ighalo and Musa.

Re: Ighalo
I could’ve sworn that Ighalo scored a bundle of goals that qualified us for this ANC. Scoring is more important than the ferocity of the shot. That said, Ighalo reminds me of Giroud in that his goals are almost a bonus as the expectation is primarily on his overall play upfront with respect to bringing others in play and creating spaces for midfielders to exploit either through passing or shooting through his movement, workrate and holdup play. He will chip in with goals but that’s a small piece of what he does compared to the comprehensive view.theYemster wrote:He has to play before he can fulfill it.

Btw, I don't have any problem with his decision to take that shot if he thought he had an opening to shoot at. Just because Musa seemed wide open on TV replay doesn't mean he appeared so to Ighalo in real time. And it doesnt mean the ball would have gotten to Musa without either of the Guinea defender intercepting it. Afterall, he did drop similar pas to Musa and he scuffed it.
BTW, they didnt get the yellow because of how he was troubling them. They got it because they fouled him hard! He didnt have a good game today, period.

1) With Guinean defenders swarming the box, a pass to Musa may have been intercepted.
2) Go back to the tape: a pass to Musa could have resulted in an offside infraction.
