Some people just don't get it. While he's a City player I won't jeer bloke, why would any of us. Excellent point! we are supposed to be a club that supports our “own” particularly in recent weeks. Amazing how that support has been quickly lost, on at least one of our players by a good percentage of fans. doesnt surprise me

smudger63 Posted 19 December 2018 Posted 19 December 2018 Massive disappointment. Worse than hopeless! 1
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 19 December 2018 Posted 19 December 2018 Amount of apologists in this thread is quite astounding, he's offered nothing at all since joining over a season ago to justify any sort of belief he'll come good. Literally has nothing going for him physically, mentally, technically. We can't get rid soon enough. 1 1
Ian Nacho Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 He plays well with Vardy, unfortunately, that's Maddison's role. Not suited to playing on his own. There's a reason why he chose number 8 and that's because he prefers playing deeper. 2
Keiriel Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 (edited) Over the past few games that Nacho has played, he's been getting more and more visibly frustrated, and with Maddison dropping deep more often than not, Kelechi has found himself with no support. We can see that he can't play as a lone striker, yet Puel keeps shoehorning him into that position. If it's a tactical issue, either the system gets tweaked to get the best out of him, or he moves on to greener pastures. It's as simple as that. If it's an attitude problem, Claude will sort him out or ship him off. Maybe it's a little bit of both. I still believe he'll come good though, but that's just me. Edited 20 December 2018 by Keiriel
Dan Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 13 hours ago, Sampson said: People are using the same arguments for him they used to for Beckford despite it being so obvious he wasn't good enough - "he only appears to be shit, because we don't build the side round him and put it on a plate for him". He's never shown anything like being good enough to earn the right to have all 10 other players being built around giving him service. Man City fans all told us he can't control a football and has no first touch and that he's lazy and a goal poacher you have to put it on a plate for - that's nothing to do with lack of confidence or not being in the right system, it's the player he is. Now, if he'd shown he was good enough, maybe we could afford him that luxury, but he hasn't shown anything like it. If anything, he's been incredibly lucky to be given so many chances when he's constantly been undeservedly picked ahead of Okazaki or Maddison despite never showing any glimpses those players have. If he hadn't cost £25mil based on a few sub appearances for Man City, he'd have been playing for the U23s ages ago and we'd have forgotten him and no one would've batted an eyelid given his level of performances have shown he obviously isn't good enough for this level. Brutal but I pretty much entirely agree with this.
Gamble92 Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 For anyone who needs to see how wrong our fans get it, just go back to any of the threads about Vardy in his first year here.

We always seem to, as a fanbase, target a player and come out with terms like this. Like i said it won't be the first or last time a player proves our moronic fanbase wrong. 3

volpeazzurro Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 Guadiola has 'praised Garcia for preventing Iheanacho from making any impact on Tuesday'. Tamed by a rookie 17yr old, about sums him up really. Half the time he appears as if he isn't concentrating and in his own little world. Quite often, when it's requiring of a centre forward to make a run from the half way line or even a dash into the box, he's overtaken by our midfielders, suggesting either he's lazy or doesn't even see the opportunities or have the ability to read the play. The latter, if true, cannot really be taught as it is perhaps more based on natural instinct.

Sorry, I'd love him to come good, I backed him to be leading prem scorer this season. I wont boo him but when a player has a ball passed straight to them and they run behind the defender to get out of the way of the ball, nope you're not for me. I dont think Puel has any option other than to play him. I dont mind if the game doesnt suit him, but please look as though you're bothered. Yep, he’s a player that just expects to tap the ball into the net without much effort. But then we’re playing him in a role that means he needs to do more than that, which he can’t do at all. Which is why we should have kept Slimani, who at least brings certain qualities.

FLAN Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 When Leicester fans are suggesting slimani is a better option you know the player is poor
foxinsocks Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 Let's just leave it there shall we. Its sad but he cant be something he is not.
Sunbury Fox Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 He's hopeless as a lone striker but when he plays up front with Vardy he looks pretty decent. Another reason why we should look at a 3412 formation.
yorkie1999 Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 I personally don't think he wants to be here and has got a chip on his shoulder about being sold/surplus to requirements by man city. It's what happens to young lads that get used by the big clubs. Needs to realise that if he wants to make it as a footballer, it's not going to be handed to him on a plate. He's kind of like the opposite to vardy who puts his heart and soul into it.
huggybear Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 Summed it up on Tuesday night when Choudhary came forward from his defensive midfield job to successfully press the Man City defence when they were in possession - passing Nacho on his way. To be honest I don't care whether his first touch is non-existent or if he can't finish as long as he looks like he's trying and working for the team because that alone will create chances for others. The number of times the ball is played to him when he's ambling back from, or already in, an off-side position is astounding. 2
NewquayFox Posted 20 December 2018 Posted 20 December 2018 He is not an out & out striker, needs a big centre forward to feed off or play behind. The lad looks distraught and clueless if I’m honest, no confidence for someone who in the past has been a clinical finisher. Get a goal scoring striker (if their is one around) in the January window, loan Iheanacho out to a Championship team and hopefully he will bag a few goals and come back buzzing...
