What you are seeing here is the result of two years of frustration and disappointment, a fan base that has largely given up on him and a player that appears to have done the same.

I don't in fairness think that people have judged Nacho on that one miss. The fact that you've you've had to stoop to trawling the lowly catagory of the 'pre assist' for something actually good he's done tends to bear witness to his total uselessness ? 1 1
Steve Earle Posted 8 May 2019 Posted 8 May 2019 I think that whatever Brendan decides to do with Iheanacho (and Gray) will tell us a lot about him. And them. Both need a miracle worker to transform them into reliable PL players. Is that Brendan? Or would he be deluding himself?
David Hankey Posted 8 May 2019 Posted 8 May 2019 He has had opportunities to shine but his head never seems in the right place. A young player like this should seize every chance he is given but somehow he always seems to fluff his lines.

But if Vardy gave very little, couldn't score, had a poor touch, not have the confidence of his team, couldn't head the ball etc then yes we would be going on at vardy the same way. So cannot compare No. We should never question or boo Vardy, even if one day he becomes that. Sorry, just no way. 1

He's been really poor since he got here but if there is any hope for him he does have excellent pedigree. He won the Golden Ball in the U17 World Cup and when he joined us he was the most prolific striker in PL history by the metric of goals per minute. Criticism of him is fair enough but with the racist attacks he had in the last couple of days we don't need to be attacking one of our own especially as he's such a young player. 4 1

Don't take things so seriously, this is a player who's done absolutely nothing for us and even his national team manager has criticised his effort and dropped him. Racist remarks are wrong I agree but when your efforts are being questioned by your own countries manager and your own fans you have to expect some criticism and playful banter like above.

'excellent pedigree'? Come off it. He shares that U17 World Cup record with Nii Lamptey, Sanni Emmanuel and Julio Gomez. They must have excellent pedigree. For every GOOD player there have been abject failures. Oh and the single metric you quote; that's why we don't pick one specific, unique statistic to prove a point. By the metric of goals per game Josh Harrup has one in one. He must have excellent pedigree. I'm all for not writing off players, but suggesting spurious and watery facts as some kind of shining like it's at best blinkered. You judge what is in front of you. That is a player who has been dropped from his national team for not working hard enough, a player who missed so badly it has spawned a huge discussion of his fitness to perform for our club and a player who looks devoid of confidence. Is THAT excellent pedigree? 3

Dahnsouff Posted 8 May 2019 Posted 8 May 2019 (edited) Don't care how poor he has been - abuse is unwarranted. He has never got what he needs (Not saying he would improve) - a consistent run in the side and don`t think he ever will tbh Sell. Edited 8 May 2019 by Dahnsouff
ARM1968 Posted 8 May 2019 Posted 8 May 2019 Should never abuse one of your own. Plenty of opposition players for that. 1
Guest bss9401 Posted 8 May 2019 Posted 8 May 2019 Thankfully there should be enough decent moments for us that could be put together in a montage and sent to clubs in Greece, Turkey or China, to enable a half decent fee.

crisp packet Posted 8 May 2019 Posted 8 May 2019 Kid has had enough shit, from all angles including racism. Luckily the season is finished. Hopefully for all involved he comes back pre season refreshed and scores some goals .. Upto him?

I know that if the club decides to sell, it'll mean we've done absolutely everything and failed to get a tune out of Iheanacho. However, if he stays through pre-season, then I'm putting my faith in Brendan.
