Kelechi Iheanacho

[frany104]

Been out best player the past few games. He must start every game for the rest of the season now. He links the midfield and attack so well and always seems to score crucial goals. Really pleased for him he’s starting to come good.

[Ian Nacho]

The lad needs a consecutive run of starts now.

On his armchair, our lot would boo him warming up

[StanSP]

You can tell the effect Brendan has had on him. Other managers perhaps failed to click or connect with him. People mentioned Brendan was a very good man manager and he is proving that with Kelechi. 

[Grebfromgrebland]

If Nacho was our main striker this season and started all our league games he'd be on 20 goals already.

 

I can't see why anyone would slate him really.  He's scored all types of goals for us and will only get better. 

 

His header mid week was first class very little reaction time.

Still have my doubts about him long term but he has definitely earnt his chance in the team over the last ten games. He was excellent before the break too.

Not contradicting yourself even slightly eh?

We have to get him some more game time. He is a class finisher, but his all round game has come on so much.

like others have said his link up play in good and try’s to be positive when he has the ball. His goal to minutes shows the lad  will score when motivated. 
He deserves a chance now.

I still have my doubts but he's averaged a goal or assist every 80 minutes hes played this season

By long term I mean I'm not convinced he's the heir apparent to Vardy. 

 

That doesn't mean he hasn't had a good half a season and earnt the right to have a run in the team. 

 

 

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

He’s looked so sharp since the restart. I’ve never had any doubts over his finishing ability, but his all round game has improved so much under Rodgers, it’s been like having a new signing.

Yes. It's the 4 goals in the prior 51 Premier league appearances to this season that has cast some doubt. 

 

It's not hard to think somebody had earnt the right to play whilst also thinking they're probably not the most suitable long term replacement. He's had a good run of games. He's not had the best 3 years.

Best in the squad surely?

Comfortably! must be up there with the best in the league.

[Nicolo Barella]

I love his game so much to be honest. Such a focal player. I really think he can become one of the best strikers in the league, he is capable of really nice finishes, with all parts of his body, has great linkup, a great touch, is a positive player. If Brendan can continue to cultivate his confidence and turn his good form into regular performance, he will be a vital player for us in the future imo. Really nothing like Vardy, but finding someone to replace Vardy shouldn't be about replacing his attributes.

[Goober]

Surprised me how good he is at linking up play. Thought he was an out and out poacher when we first got him but he's actually a very good footballer.

 

Have to get him in the side more often. Like to see a lot more of him, Vards and Ayoze on the pitch together.

[adam95581]

For me, Nacho always looks better in a two and this change of formation is so suited to him. He’s got good feet and an ability to change direction quickly and bring others into play. By playing 3/5/2 there are plenty of bodies around him to link up with which should help us to create more chances. Need to stick with it though. 

[st albans fox]

He didn’t look happy about being hooked yesterday ...... that’s good as last season he didn’t look bothered when that happened ....

[Guest An Sionnach]

Along with Perez and Barnes , he has backed up Vardy pretty well this season .At least he hasn't been inexplicably shoved out wide like they have . However we still need another proven striker , preferably big and good in the air.

[theessexfox]

When’s his contract up? Worth extending I’d say.

[RonnieTodger]

Absolutely love the guy, he’s really turned things around. Was a bit gutted for him being substituted, but it all worked out. 

[Stadt]

At Villa away (in December, although he was the only player to turn up in the cup games) he was sensational. His link up play, aggression and all round physicality was nothing like from what we’d seen previously from him. He’s got top notch composure as well like when he scored against Everton at home

[Pliskin]

He’s starting to shine. His goal was evidence of his predatory instincts. But that’s not to down play his overall ability, he’s starting to show more and more how important he can be. 

[jeffschlupp]

He contributes to goals in the Premier League more often this season than Origi, Jesus, Cutrone, Ighalo and virtually every other second choice striker in the division.

 

A quality player who has made a real difference to us both off the bench and now alongside Vardy this year. Delighted for him, he's clearly put in so much work to make it happen.
