Kelechi Iheanacho

[Jimmy]

he really needs to be demanding answers from the manager, so should our media but fat chance of that, one of our best players can't get into the team because the manager is being stubborn and no one will grill him on it

[Tielemans63]

It is utterly bizarre. 

[Charl91]

No idea why he's not starting. Must have slept with Pearson's daughter. 

[lcfc_forever]

Must start, Ihenacho and Vardy are simply our best attacking partnership. 

 

[Corky]

I know there's a tendency to hype players but Iheanacho is delivering at the moment. Whether he's in our best eleven overall I'm not sure but presently, and for the last six months, he's consistently contributed.

[Vardinio'sCat]

I've never seen us have a striker this prolific who can barely get a start.

 

We are big time.

[Gazza M]

Working with Vardy he was the in form striker in Europe. Why not continue that partnership? 

[Lesta2014]

Has he got done a clause opposite to the one Perez has?

2 up front? In this day and age?

 

Oh no, no, no. Another unwritten rule, you just don't do it.

[lcfc sheff]

4411/442 Atletico Madrid did it for years !

there is no excuse to not start him

[Pliskin]

He can easily play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, or a 4-4-1-1…. The central attacking player behind the striker need not be a number ten, it could quite easily be a second striker. 
 

The issue Rodgers has is at the moment, Kelch is our most inform player….. along side Vardy they’re our most threatening players, so he simply HAS to play.

He’s the link between Midfield and Upfront the man is pure magic! How Brendan doesn’t start him is baffling he needs to start every game.

[matty98]

He's one of the most inform forwards in Europe. Rodgers says the issue is you have to change the system to play him. So? The system we've been playing hasn't exactly been working? Iheanacho has to play. Go 442 or play Iheanacho as a 10, I don't care how but he has to be in the starting 11.

[whoareyaaa]

Vardy and Nacho should be the first two names on the team sheet it's astonishing that he don't start in the Prem.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Getting fed up of him changing games to see himself straight back on the bench a few days later. Deserves a few starts now, he's been unreal in the past 9 months or so for us.

[cruzFOX]

Yeh we're in a strange rut right now no where near the height we've reached in terms of playing form during the 1st halves of the last 2 seasons. I really wanna see us play that way because it truly was scintillating and drew praise rightly from the world of football. So, big question is how do we play our way into that Dort of form again. Being who we are I'm never gonna count us out or this season. With JJ coming back, Foffana in the new year and praise to god no more crazy long term injuries to key players we can put a good run together. Teams who have started well will falter in the new year and we can take advantage of that by going full steam ahead. So how do we get there? Maybe Rogers is just trying to manage the situation in his own way. He keeps saying we are not hitting the levels we should (yet). That tells me he knows it's coming just a matter of time. I know its frustrating to watch us suffer like this but we will come good eventually. Regarding Nacho I agree Rogers needs to put him back in the starting lineup let him impact the game with goals than where the scoreline is out of sight he can take him off and shut things down defensively. Right now we need points on the table so we can keep up with everyone else. Time for the entire team to raise their game there has been enough wake up calls and hopefully Burnley was the last one.

Exactly. I'm a staunch 4-2-3-1 / 4-4-1-1 man but we've been a mess this season and yet about 80% of our goals have come when Iheanacho has been on the pitch and/or been directly involved in them. He simply has to play, the only question is what is the best personnel to play with him but he is our most important player right now.

[The People's Hero]

Solve it by just asking Nacho who he wants to play with. Let him pick.

[Unabomber]

Just play him behind Vardy

They can't stand each other. Vardy is one of those team-Pepsi guys.

Anyone find this odd as well?

Looks like he's telling him to fetch the ball ?

Doesn't look too friendly that 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Good grief. People seeing things that just aren't there again.

[Hollyfox]

His turn on the half way line created the space for the winner at Norwich as well. 

I've been a bit critical of him in the past but he's turning into the player we all hoped we'd signed from Man City, and full credit to him for that. 

Have to find a way of getting him into the side or at least more than a few late sub appearances
