Iheanacho's football intelligence is 2nd to none!

[vancity eagle]

I dont think Nacho has the physicality, or pressing ability to play lone striker. Nor would he start ahead of Osimehn in that role.

Kelechi doesn’t have to start. He can be Osimhen’s primary backup. A false 9 alternative to Osimhen. He can also come in the game when Osimhen as a lone striker isn’t working and be part of a 2 striker system.

[Otitokoro]

The SE partnership between Osimhen and Moffi is the future.
Iheanacho is far too inconsistent for me and is mostly MIA when the chips are down.

Iheanacho is far more cerebral than Moffi, maybe the formations we play don't suit him...I'll rather we try Iheanacho and Osimhen together

[Synopsis]

Let Osimhen be a lone striker. No need for him to have a strike partner.

[Scipio Africanus]

Let Osimhen be a lone striker. No need for him to have a strike partner.

I concur. With Nacho one of the 3 (on the left) in a 4-2-3-1. Iwobi would be another one of the 3(on the right) behind Osimhen. Lookman maybe the other one of the 3.

Ndidi would sit in front of the defense as one of 2 with strict instructions not to venture forward. That is not his forte. His job would be to recover the ball and quickly find any of Nacho, Lookman or Iwobi. They will do the rest in terms of setting up Osimhen and feeding off scraps left by him. No ajasco dancing on the wings. Stay compact and pick out the runner with nice through balls

[vancity eagle]

Nacho is not a winger, absolutely No No No.

He's played there before for SE and it was a bust.

Let's stop putting square pegs in round holes and expecting success.

We need to put players where they will shine.
It's 352 next to Osimehn or he sits on the bench.

[Otitokoro]

Would rather have someone who can put the ball in the net on a consistent basis and can play and contribute in a variety of formations. By the way, Rachidi Yekini was not a cerebral striker, but is still the greatest striker to don the SE shirt.
Nigeria needs multi-dimensional strikers, who can play on the flanks if necessary. Others can do that more effectively.

Iheanacho is far more cerebral than Moffi, maybe the formations we play don't suit him...I'll rather we try Iheanacho and Osimhen together

How was Nacho a bust as a winger? What metrics did you use to decide that?

Nacho does not have the speed, acceleration, close control or dribbling ability to be a winger. That would be a horrible result. Hes played there before and was poor.

[vancity eagle]

Nachos best game for SE was the friendly vs Argentina which we won 4-2.

We played a 352 with Iwobi and Nacho up top.

What is a winger’s job in your opinion?

To penetrate on the flanks, get behind the defence and provide accurate passes and crosses into the striker.

While Nacho is a good passer of the ball, he is a horrible ball carrier and has poor touch, compared to all of our other wing options.

He cannot get in behind defenders like Chuks, Lookman, Ejuke, Dennis, even Simon.

Especially on counter attacks wingers can be a quick outlet to get downfield, Nacho is the wrong guy for that position.

Simon has horrible end product, so no.

Nacho’s so called poor touch has become an urban legend with a life of its own. He has excellent touch on his left foot and decent touch in his right. His passing intelligence makes him 1000% better than Moses Simon in that position, especially in a counter situation.

I’m happy you mentioned end product. When did Kele start the match as a winger and underperform relative to the rest of the team? You expect him to score a hat trick as a winger or what?

But Simon excels at all the attributes you listed above that a winger should have

Yours is a case of the messenger shooting himself in the foot. In all the games he’s played throughout his senior career in which he scored, in which one did he play in a 3-5-2 formation? At Leicester, he has played alongside Vardy on occasion. Did they ever lineup in a 3-5-2 formation? You shouldn’t talk about things you know nothing about. It doesn’t do your already sketchy reputation any good


Cheers.
