We have Gray, Marhez and Albrighton and Iborra so link up so I think we would be looking pretty strong if we get Ineanacho.

Sure, if we can get the ball to our MFs. Right now, eh, seems dicey. We need another back who can bring the ball out. It is just too easy to sit in front of our MFs with numbers and force our backs to either bring it out or hoof it. That really feels like the last bit we need to well and truly evolve. Well, if I'm honest, we really need a back who can bring it out AND who is lethal with the pass. If we can find that, yes, we'll be looking strong with our linkage.

 

If we'd had that vs. Athletico, might well have made the semi-finals.

Shakey's 'form' from last season in this regard suggests he may not be ruthless enough.

 

Continuing with a hopelessly out of form / unmotivated Mahrez last season is an example.

[RODNEY FERNIO]

Exciting times though you can see in his brief cameo how comfortable

Nacho  is on the ball and Vardy looks really sharp and raring to go.

His goal scoring dropped off massively last year !! 

 

No, his game time dropped off massively. And his stats were very good until Guardiola decided to drop him in November.

And his drop was from:

 

2015/2016: 1 goal per 86 minutes, 1 goal or assist per 63 minutes

2016/2017: 1 goal per 128 minutes, 1 goal or assist per 90 minutes

 

So yeah... the dropoff is pretty big, but most strikers would kill for Iheanacho's drop off. 1 goal per 128 minutes means 27 league goals. 1 goal per 86 minutes meanwhile means a 40 goal per season striker.

 

In other words - if Iheanacho plays as 'poorly' as last season he may still be good enough to be the topscorer in the league... If Iheanacho plays as good as he did in his first season, he'll be in the same echelon of stats as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

 

With all that said I'm pretty sure Leicester bought Iheanacho hoping for a 15+ goals per season striker, so his stats can drop off even further and the team will still be happy.

They seem to work well last night hopefully this is going to be a very successful partnership this coming season

If he was good enough he wouldn't be being sold ... that's FACT 

 

he is falling short at Man City and isn't good enough for them 

 

and if he banged in a hatful last year he wouldn't be being sold 

 

so it's not rubbish ... it's logic 

 

 

i think he can progress but he is not a guaranteed sure thing ... let's see how he reacts to being pushed out 

 

 

He's being sold because he doesn't fit Pep Guardiola very limited tactical plan. He would have probably featured heavily for any other coach, including Mourinho, Conte and so on. And his stats are on the level of Kylian Mbappe. 

 

Pep messed this one up royally. The guy scored and assisted vs Manchester United and then went on to play one minute in the entire month of November. Sure, he may not be flashy, but in November Manchester City struggled to find the back of the net and their best finisher couldn't even get 20 minutes of game time...

His greatest asset is high accuracy shots from anywhere in the box and as long there is a top striker to take attention he'll be alright,  very unselfish and gives loads of beautiful assists.

Actually he has high accuracy shots from anywhere. Not necessarily in the box. He can take long shots as well and I can see him becoming the designated freekick taker.

Can't wait for pep to flop again this year and get the sack the stupid flash slap head

it would be great to see them as a deadly partnership and hope they can work on their understanding together "the Nacho and Vardy show!"

[SheppyFox]

They'll be devastating.

I know we scored... but is it just me who thought the ball was a bit shit

I hope Pep stays at Man City as long as possible (at least until the buy back clause expires). Nacho doesn't fit Pep's play style and I believe he's too stubborn to essentially admit he made a mistake by buying Nacho back.

It was a little behind Vards, but then again if it hadn't have been the defender would have probably intercepted it. I'll give Nacho the benefit of the doubt on that one  

[enmac]

I can't wait for him to play alongside Vardy, this is the most excited I've been  about our attack since the Collymore/Heskey days.

After watching the game last night, I thought exactly that!
Excellent prediction. In fact, IF Riyad stays, this attack could be even better!
Fingers crossed.

V9 has got his wrist strap back on. He means business.

 

So has Simmo, no idea why.

[Farrington fox]

A Vards Nacho partnership is mouth watering, if they hit it off it could be prolific. My biggest concern though is Mahrez, he's far and away the most creative player we've got, he will create the openings for the front 2. If he goes, or simply isn't interested. What then?

More of a sweat band than a fibre cast as he wore last Season but I do agree he looked sharp!

Vardy's second only came about because of Mahrez's skill. No Mahrez, no Iheanach run, no Vardy finish. Without Mahrez we'll undoubtedly still score, but the Vardy Iheanacho partnership will get far fewer opportunities to score - something that's worth a fair few league points and positions.

Nah, he calculated it before he even signed. Always one step ahead.

Vards pointed behind him to show that's where he wanted it, didn't he?

Not sure mate, I'd have to watch it back!
