Watford manager admits Ighalo is frustrated

Watford manager, Quique Sanchez Flores, has told Odion Ighalo to remain calm and not put himself under pressure, as the Super Eagles striker seeks to rediscover his scoring touch.

Ighalo has only scored twice in his last 12 games and failed to add to his 14 Premier League goals, when the Hornets lost to Manchester United on Wednesday.

Flores has backed the striker to end his goal drought and promised to help him.

“He’s not scoring so we need to support him a lot,” Flores told the Watford Observer.

“Of course, the moment he scores it becomes easier for the team.

“My work with Ighalo now is to try and take away pressure. He has put pressure on himself. It’s like he feels he has to score. That isn’t the best way to recreate a good feeling.

“It’s a mistake to put pressure on himself. He needs to work separate from the feelings of scoring with the feelings of playing with freedom in the team.”

Flores added: “Ighalo is a little bit frustrated. Strikers need goals to feel good. You can feel he is trying but sometimes he makes bad decisions. I support him more than ever.”
