He's still young and he's the first to admit his form is terrible. BR has a record of taking players and improving them. He does indeed, there are so many youngsters here though that its inconceivable to think all will become a success. If they do, WOW!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxile5 Posted 27 February 2019 Share Posted 27 February 2019 If Rodgers gets this guy going it will be amazing. I get the sneaking suspicion that Kelechi can only really play in a team like Man City, which we will never be. The endless creativity around him in the city team meant he could knock them in from five yards, profiteering from the confused defences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted 27 February 2019 Share Posted 27 February 2019 Annoys me on tunnel cam that nearly all the players shake the staffs hands as they enter the changing room suited and booted before KO but Nacho just walks straight past everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 27 February 2019 Share Posted 27 February 2019 Tbf Rodgers got Sturridge to look quality. If anyone's going to get the best out of Nacho it's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted 27 February 2019 Share Posted 27 February 2019 A lot of wild optimism here. Makes a change I s'pose but Brendan Rodgers is not a miracle worker. I think that the only person that can maybe make Kelechi a success is Kelechi himself if he really wants to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I'd love to see Nacho be a success here, but I think he's too limited. I don't think there's that much more to him than being a lethal finisher when handed chances on a plate. Perhaps BR can turn the team into one that would serve Ian well, but it is some ask. I expect BR will be looking for forwards who press and make a nuicance of themselves, and KI isn't that.

Ask Mario Balotelli. For a guide as to how its done. See Luis Suarez. I've never seen a human being with so much energy and sheer will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV hasn't had the best season, but then that's no surprise considering how he was being asked to play. He will also probably be in the best mood out of all the players now Puel's out the door.

fazzyfox Posted 28 February 2019 Share Posted 28 February 2019 If we return Vardy to being the high pressing all action Billy Wizz on steroids character he used to be then baring in mind it's 18 months since he's played that way and he's that bit older we may need to be resigned to him managing 70-75 minutes at that intensity. It's therefore essential we have subs we believe in. At the moment I'd trust Shinji more than Nacho to do that, my last memory of Nacho was managing to head a cross towards him back out of the box like a centre half leading to an opposition breakaway - bizarre. However I still thank back to that finish at Wembley last season, get his confidence up and he'll finish well by instinctively snapping up any loose balls but when he has time to think or tries to join the build up play he's as random as Schlupp was - anything can happen and usually does! Would love to see 20/30 minutes of one or two of our u23 strikers before the end of the season for comparison sake and to see what options we already have coming through.

The whole world smiles Posted 28 February 2019 Share Posted 28 February 2019 Hate to do this while he is still here and you never know he might turn it round.

Just as expensive as Iheanacho, and I definitely expected more - not to mention we weren't paying for potential, he has won serious stuff. Plus, deadline day debacle.

Dan LCFC Posted 28 February 2019 Share Posted 28 February 2019 Every player gets a clean slate for me under Rodgers. Iheanacho's been a very poor signing so far but if he can get anything from him then I'll be delighted to eat my words. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the games to begin! As for Vardy my only concern for him was his age and his ability to do the work rate much longer. I know he can be prolific. Looking forward to seeing what happens with the Nacho Man. Some of his movement and technical skills look awesome on youtube. But that's youtube. I don't want to criticize players who I haven't seen play. In a Rodgers team you train as hard as you play. If he does it in training he'll play. One thing he will get is all the help he needs to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
