Used to like Michael Owen as a player but he's a right dickbutt now. All ex playing pundits are dickbutts (great expression) and are the worst thing to happen to the game in the last 10-15 years. Not convinced? Shearer, Keown, Mills, Owen, Murphy.... still not? Neville, Nicholas, Hartson, Lawrenson, Carragher... Shall I go on? They all seem to think their opinion instead of their insight is what we want. Can’t stand any of the egotistical, has-been tits. Edited 27 January 2018 by TaggertvsWise

I think there is probably 5 better then him in the PL..... At finishing? Name one. There isn't. And my opinion is based on his career achievements. His goal to shots on goal ratio is ridiculous. Some three times that of Aguero for example. But Iheanacho won't create his own goals like Aguero will. In a goalscoring opportunity Iheanacho supersedes Aguero, but his other game aspects are problematic. Edited 27 January 2018 by Marutimon 2 1

If we replay that situation 100 times he scores 5-10% of the time by shooting and we score about 50% of the time if he passes. Maybe if it was a more important match he probably does pass but decided to shoot this time as we were 1-0 up and coasting and he was uber confident of finishing it.

He did score, maybe you could say a begrudging 99%? He does seem to like that kind of shooting position, maybe he fancied his chances there more than Harvey B's

Don't mind Henry and Shearer tbh ... both great players ... find what they have to say quite informative. Certainly value their opinion more than Kevin Kilbane and Garth Crooks ( the biggest idiot of the lot ). 1

Sure. Stats aren't everything, but some are better then other. Nacho has 55 PL appearances, but 95% of those were as a subs with most of them 5-10 minutes. Kane plays the full 90. It would be more honest to compare minutes played. 3

I think it matters a lot who the two players were in that situation. If it was Gray in this situation shooting instead of passing to Mahrez, then yeah he should have passed 100%. But Nacho has scored very similar goals before from that position, and Barnes as far as I know mostly scored screamers and isn't great at finishing chances from that position, I remember the Barnsley manager saying that Barnes needed to work on his tap-ins. So I think it was more a 50/50 decision whether or not Nacho should have passed in this case.
Popular Post Dan Posted 28 January 2018 Popular Post Posted 28 January 2018 Today was the first time I really thought Iheanacho looked at home in our side. Thought he offered a lot more throughout the game, work rate improved tenfold, and his finishing was absolute quality. First time in a while I've had quite high hopes for him. 5
shilton_fox Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 The boy has undoubtedly got talent. Very pissed after enjoying today but if anyone can name a more natural finisher they has played for Leicester in recent times id be surprised. Work to do on his all round game but we’ve got a gem here and I’d happily argue with anyone who suggests otherwise 1

Does it really matter if he should of passed it or not. We will never know the outcome if he did. What we do know is he shot and scored. Maybe he should of passed for the 2nd of his goals too

Colourmy Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 15 hours ago, Koke said: There are times when I watch him and I think "don't shoot" but he still does and scores. Today and against Leeds in the cup. His shooting accuracy is pretty good and he's got decent technique. He will not get ahead of Vardy but don't give up in him. He's 21. Vardy is 31. Iheanacho is a good player. He certainly won't with many on here, even when Vardy has retired! 1
