Stoopid Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Just wasn't meant to be. Best chance of the game goes to the least confident player. But...Kompany's goal kind of deserved to win the title. To be fair, they totally deserve it, anyway. An incredible team. But I thought we did pretty well...
Dan Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 You just knew this would happen didn't you after all the faff getting him signed. It isn't going to happen for him here I'm afraid.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Brendan has a big job on his hands with Kelachi, and no mistake. But I'm not one for a pile on.

Have every reason to judge him, it’s not like he contributes to the team nor is this his first mistake. And to make it even worse he cost over 20M! Poor excuse of a striker end of story.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Through on goal with time, can’t believe he ended up hitting it closer to the corner flag than the goal... get rid asap
Tanya Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 I think he deserves most of the criticism he is getting. His teammates did so well. The defenders were working their butts off with the knowledge that there will be an opportunity at some point. Imagine being a defender or a fullback and doing your job and running yourself into the ground only to see a striker miss an easy chance? He let his teammates down. Good on Rodgers for being honest. He should have scored.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 6 May 2019 Posted 6 May 2019 Needs to go, I could have finished that chance with being blindfolded

Keiriel Posted 7 May 2019 Posted 7 May 2019 As it stands, Nacho couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.
inckley fox Posted 7 May 2019 Posted 7 May 2019 I'm also despairing of Kelechi right now, and see very little hope that he'll come good for us. A friend of mine was saying the other day that we could bring in Youri / Youri Replacement and 2-3 more players without selling any key players, but by allowing contracts to run out and flogging Gray for 20m, Slimani for 10m, Silva for 10m, Kelechi for 15m, Mendy for 15m. And, yes, if clubs were likely to pay those fees for those players you could certainly raise 60-70m extra without any great loss of quality. But of all the fees he mentioned (I may have 1 or 2 wrong), 15m for Iheanacho (and on his wages) seemed like the most hopeful. Whatever pace he had seems to have abandoned him, as has his touch, his finishing, his work-rate. A lot of that is confidence and, of course, he has time on his side to fix it, but it just feels like we've witnessed the steady, grim, constant decline of a player over two seasons. It feels like he's going the way of a Michael Johnson or a Nick Powell. That said, I don't agree with the total slating of the guy. He's 22/23, unless I'm mistaken, and if it weren't for the money we'd (over)spent on him and our high expectations then we'd probably want to give someone with his potential a bit longer. That's not excusing his performances, nor is it to say that people who are slating him haven't got a point, rather that I feel we're achieving nothing. And we've seen players over the years get off to a miserable start and later prove their worth, especially at his age. While he's here, I'll keep hoping that next week is the week he'll turn it around.

Except for this guy. Wait until we sell him
Dan Posted 7 May 2019 Posted 7 May 2019 If I can think of one positive about the incident - Choudhury did ****ing superbly.

Half of me agrees and another half of me thinks if he hadn't he'd have been binned sooner than he has been. Diabate style.

Tim Cahill said it was Ndidi on MOTD but was wrong. As for Iheanacho, he's made 51 PL appearances for us - 16 starts, 35 sub - and scored four goals. He's reactive rather than proactive. He doesn't put a proper shift in, that is unforgivable. Some transfers just don't work. We should cut our losses.

hejammy Posted 7 May 2019 Posted 7 May 2019 I hate constantly criticising players, but after a signing session a couple of months ago I realised that Nacho is quite arrogant and/or as lazy as they come. He seemed like he didn't want to be there and made no effort at all. Similar to how he "plays" football. We need to get rid ASAP. I'd even take a free transfer just to get rid of that attitude in the team. He's just no footballer.
Livid Posted 7 May 2019 Posted 7 May 2019 Went to bed last night really hacked off with him. He just shows no urgency , he seems to have this languid, laid back attitude which I could live with it when a decent chance came his way he would put it away.
