Kelechi Iheanacho

[Tuna]

Yep, If I was Nacho I'd be slapping in a transfer request, Rodgers is ruining his career.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Jim McDonald wouldn't even be in a job if it wasn't for this blokes goals at the arse end of 20/21. We know he can flutter between brilliance and competition winner but he's been absolutely shafted by Rodgers, like a number of players who's confidence must be through the floor when they're blamed for every conceivable failing of the manager.

[Suzie the Fox]

Should have come on way earlier to make any sort of impact. 

[shailen]

He's always done well for us. I don't understand why he never gets more time. Has to start for us!!

He could feature with Daka and Barnes in a front 3.

I've always thought it's worth a go. You have to have a player of his quality playing and he scores goals and makes things happen. So much has been made of the Left footed RW and its been a problem now for a few years, surely it would have made sense to try a front 3 with him cutting in from the right in a front 3. Barnes Vardy Iheanacho or Barnes Daka Iheanacho.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Ian should hate Rodgers and rightly so. He is treated disgracefully. 

 

Absolutely embarrassing how the man isn't one of the first names on the team sheet. 

 

[HybridFox]

Daka played well but you could see he had absolutely no support with him when he drove forward.

 

So what does Brendan do? Make a like-for-like swap with the same issue!

 

Desperately needed 2 strikers today. Iheanacho has to start with Daka

Rodgers about as useful as Truss with his decision making.

[Corky]

Has to start alongside Daka with Maddison out.

I think he will tbh. Only worry is, generally when Bodgers has gone 2 up top he sticks 3 at the back …

I find his treatment one of the main sticks I beat Rodgers with. It is absolutely criminal how a man who does nothing but score and assist when he gets a run of games, and still does even without a run of games. Gets next to no game time. What is the thinking behind it. When we were 2 up top and he was starting games he came up with the goods week after week. It baffles me and is one of the main reasons I want and think brendan should be sacked. He gives the ball away sometimes, but that's because he tries to make things happen. Has any player in recent history given the ball away for us more than mahrez did? Probably not but that's offset with the output. Can you imagine if riyad was here now. He wouldn't get a sniff. Says it all. I really hope nacho leaves us for a team who appreciates him if brendan is going to stick around and send us sleepwalking down. 

[Buzzell]

It’s absolutely criminal that he doesn’t get a look in the side. Giving him ten minutes here and there at the end of games is pointless.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Merge that new thread with this one. 

[UniFox21]

Bit of a shame his time here has ended in a whimper.

Today summed his time up fairly well. Attempting to dink the keeper from far right of the box and painfully slicing it.

 

He never kicked on as much as we expected with the ability he clearly has.

 

That covid year where he almost single handedly dragged us into the cup final and up the league will always be special. 

[Matt]

Always liked him but time to go our separate ways.

 

The fact I hold him in higher regard than so called 'better' players that have been and gone speaks volumes.

 

All the best Kelechi.

[Chelmofox]

Not going to say anything else about him other than he looked 5 years older than Vardy when he came on. Wish him well wherever he ends up, but i don't expect to be hearing much more about him.

[weller54]

Bye..

Good riddance!

[Noahfence]

Will always be remembered for that 20/21 season played a massive part in getting us to the final. 
 

Definitely time he moved on now. Honestly no idea where he ends up. Always linked to Palace but not sure a Prem side will take him now. 

[southfox66]

Sadly he failed to forfill his potential in league his boat sailed a long time ago.

 

No one with any sense would buy him for premier except Ipswich maybe and theyd probably turn him into a good player, other than that be looking at Championship side wanting for him for next to nothing or maybe Saudi !

Happy he got on for a farewell appearance. Hasn't quite worked out this season but he's made a contribution here no doubt and will have fond memories. Big part in us winning our maiden FA Cup

[Tielemans63]

Thanks for the memories, Nacho. Time to move on now IMHO 

[dmayne7]

Shame how it's panned out. Think he's his own worst enemy in that he doesn't have that drive or self-belief to really push himself to be the player he could be. Could have been so different if he wasn't completely mismanaged by Brenda when he did finally get going.

 

Seems like a really nice guy. Wish him all the best

He’s either looked brilliant or like a pub player - and no inbetween.

 

Time is clearly up here. But he’ll probably go to someone like Villa and do well for them!

[coolhandfox]

Had a great purple patch and will always be remembered for carrying us to the FA Cup.

 

Doesn't seem 5 minutes since some were claiming he would smash this division.

 

Never made enough of he's ability for me.
