(Video) Iheanacho goal for Man City vs. Roma

[Eddydove]

Here's Kelechi Iheanacho's goal for Manchester City vs. AS Roma - fine effort. I wonder if this might tempt Pellegrini to use him this term?

Here's the goal:

Manu.......could've been U20 champion coach if not for typical Naija pettiness

[goldenera94]

Nigerian coaches, pathetic, corrupt, lack knowledge, wrong priority, arrogant, who are you, mismanagement, and other bad attributes.

[obaGol]

Nduka was right; It's clear from this performance that Nacho is unfit.

Yes, Nigeria would certainly have beaten up Serbia. 100% sure. Just the same way we would have won the 98 world cup if not for not beating denmark.

That assist was WORLD CLASS! That is the type of assist that you see from the World's best players.

In that situation, it could not have been done any better! Before the assist..he was even staving off pressure! He maintained his physicality like an experienced player like Yaya Toure or Mikel would, he created some space and had the vision of a Pirlo to drive that forward to Sterling.

I may be ignorant to his weaknesses, but his strengths are definitely already at the highest level! This is a player that is already a Top Flight Footballer in the European Big Leagues! If he does not make at Man City, then some other top team in the Big Leagues!

But definitely not...definitely not, a player that needs to find himself in the Championship or some obscure club in Turkey! He does not need exploration! He just needs game time, at this juncture! If he is not a talent, then I am the Queen of England.

Hopefully the NFF will schedule a friendly for 9/7/15. He can be invited for the friendly.

manu garba is just displaying his typical africaness....all the riches at ur hand but mismanaging it like we have oil and other mineral resources across the continent.

Nah Manu was bribed in that tournament he shouldve been fired right after

Thanks my brother, the accusations and insults on nduka and Garba is not fair at all.

Have you asked yourself why they took an unfit player to a tournament?

Thank you my brother - The QUALITY OF THE ASSIST, not the goal caught my eye. World Class. When we talk about IQ, what Kelechi displayed is what we're talking about. There's no higher level than that. THis is why I made the argument months back that when you have a superstar, they don't wait to get ripe...you see the brilliance froma very early age 16, 17 , 18 , 19. When we start saying a player needs time to fully develop, it means average or the top end of average at best. The same thing people saw in Kanu that he broke into the SE in NOV of 94. Like Kelechi, you could just see the brilliance, brain and maturity of technique (the part that comes last in the development queue)

Folks my comment was sarcasm Nacho is clearly match fit enough to play with pros

This is a great point that I never considered. A superstar often shows his worth at a young age. It is average players like you said, that need to spend time in obscure leagues to simply discover themselves.

It is why, when you name any of the greatest players in history..they were ALL playing better than 95% of the World's footballers at a young age! Pele, Luis Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona for example...all of them between the ages of 17-20 were already playing better than 95% of World Footballers at a young age.

Iheanacho is within that age bracket and you already see him, showing composure that his "elders" in the SE have never displayed. How many times have you seen our so called "ready" players show some of the balance, composure, vision and precision that Kelechi has shown?

heck even my hero Obafemi Martins did not have this level of composure and finesse in his time in Inter Milan. (Yes I know I am comparing apples and oranges....but composure and finesse is a quality you want in any position). That was probably the difference between Martins and Eto'o! Martins had the pace of Eto'o..he was probably even faster! He had all the power that money could buy. He had all the athleticism that money could buy, but he didn't have the deftness of Eto'o or the composure.

That is often the little bit of difference between a good talent and a Superstar. Iheanacho has all the qualities that you would expect from a superstar, he even has the confidence to boot.
