splinterdream Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 One thing we have with Nacho is that he's young so if he's not fitting in here we should still get good resale value, that's if we can move him on with that Man City clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 He isn't the same striker as Vardy and needs to link with players around him. He was isolated massively yesterday as it felt like we were scared of Tottenham and so dropped deep - the ball kept coming back to Spurs after we got in attacking areas due to a lack of options.

I’ve sussed it all out now.... Puel “Kelechi, Can you be Immobile?” KI “Dunno boss but I’ll give it a go” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6rat Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 For me, he just doesn’t have the ability to read the game. So many times, including last night, he reacts after the ball is played into him into space rather than anticipating that that’s where the ball will finish up. By the time the balls played and he’s thought about, it’s to late, attack over. Exact opposite to Vardy, Vardy’s up and running into space and great positions when our midfields have the ball moving forward, Iheanacho stands and watches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 Either change personnel or change system. Kelichi as a one man strike force, expected to press and stretch the opposition is never going to happen. Useless again yesterday but the boos were just as disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol great pre-season, scoring against Notts county. He is garbage, total total garbage, he offers nothing what so ever to the team or the club as there is not a chance in hell we can recoup what we have spent on him. One of the laziest players i have ever seen in a city shirt he makes Yakubu look industrious and at least he scored goals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is on the money. I was talking with my father on the way back to the car yesterday and he made a great point. People like Dickov and Savage were limited but loved for their work ethic. A lot in football is forgiven or forgotten if you simply try. Kelechi isn't bothering to try and people just won't look past that. A friend of my father's made the blunt, but also correct, point: only putting in 95% in this division makes you a failure. In my opinion both are right.

Mendy failing to close down Son for his goal and Chilwell jogging around casually whilst Delli Alli sets up a deckchair and pours himself a nice G & T whilst waiting for Son to pick him out doesnt bother you? At least if we'd defended we might have kept in the game and not lost all confidence.

I mentioned the other day laziness is becoming too normalised in the team, Chilwell, Gray and Mendy are usual culprits - N'didi is usually seen jogging back on a lot of our goals. Iheanacho is actually the worst of the lot though, to stand out as lazy in this time, ironically, takes some effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 Poor display again from him, but also from the rest of the team. We are so reliant upon a 31 year old striker, it's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theessexfox Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 Surely if you're low on confidence, the least you do is bust a gut, make some runs - he was so static up front when we were looking for an out ball, he did okay holding it up with his back to goal on the odd occasion but he never looked to spin off and give an option in behind, too many times he was standing on the other side to where the play was so he wasn't even a potential option in the channels, these are the basics you do if you're not playing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 I don't think Iheanacho isn't trying. The issue is more that he lets his head go down. There was one time last night where he'd chased a through ball down and didn't make it happen and instead of getting back up the pitch and onside he trudged back looking beaten. He then missed the opportunity to be onside again for another through ball. That's not the first time something like that has happened either. He looks every bit like a young player whose confidence has been totally shattered and he's struggling to play the role he's been asked to - lone striker - within the team. I really wish he'd buried that early chance at Fulham, a goal will do him the world of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 I get he is a bit lazy but why would you want to bust a gut when you have your own team's fans jeering you every game. Our strikers get maybe 1 chance a game, no surprise they are low on confidence. Vardy has been just as lazy in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithuriel Posted 9 December 2018 Share Posted 9 December 2018 Peeps can keep trying to defend him but he is just not that good, had peeps saying to me over the last few weeks he is like a rich mans Jermaine Beckford and I can see where they are coming from.

It's not just some of us that have doubts. They are fair comments. The Beckford comparisons are right, and look where he ended up. I can see Nacho doing a reverse Vardy. Starting at the top and ending at the bottom. What really troubles me about him the most is that Puel has shown huge faith in our younger players, and all have improved considerably, all have attracted praise, all have attracted interest from other clubs .....with the exception of Nacho. It just looks like he really isn't up to it mentally, even if he has enough talent to make it. I very much doubt if we put him up for sale we'd have any bids from P/L clubs, and we'd certainly lose a huge amount of money on any sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
