I dont think he were that bad honestly, he got given absolutely nowt and at least kicked them a bit 

Didn’t think he was as bad as some will probably make him out to be

[Dr The Singh]

Feel for the guy, he was feeding on scraps today.

[jamfox]

He played as well as most of them , only Fofana and Timmy stood out.

 

[Mark]

He's been poor since day one, just turns up in the cup against lower league sides. I only remember him performing in the league towards the end of 2017/18 when the opposition were on the beach and a few games last season when he came on looking like he had something to prove.

Tbf  this is always said but he offers nothing. Good forwards make things happen too.

hes done decent at times imo, his stinkers have over shone he decent games for us, 

for my money hes done more than Perez has done

plays far better when hes in a 2 up top

[Tielemans63]

I don't like to say it about any of our players but I really think he's shite. I think if you were to put him in a good Championship side, he still wouldn't stand out. 

[Foxin_Mad]

He is no better than Demari Gray, average player who is mostly average or below average, occasionally does something above average. He will make a very good living out of averageness.  Musa was s much better player. The lads 24 now, should be at his peak. For me we need to ship him off.

Has a decent level of ability, but lack the mobility or the physical attributes to make a impact.

 

He movement is so poor for a PL forward

We Need him,Shipping him off statements After Transfer window has closed doesn't help..I

[whoareyaaa]

he is best played in a 10, having him as the main striker just doesn't work

[hejammy]

I don't think he is a terrible player at all, I do think his decision making is terrible though. He takes an age to react also! He can hold on the ball up yes, he is strong. His first touch isn't bad, BUT he takes an extra 4 or 5 second to react than most , he makes stupid passing decisions, he fouls when really there is no need to foul. He just isn't the brightest spark unfortunately. 

[Rigga]

Had a decent opening 20 mins Where he looked lively..

very poor after that.
Two particular instances were really frustrating... a blatant push in the back on konsa when konsa has nowhere to go.

Followed by a real lazy offside. Our attack broke down, Villa then attacked, the passage of play was about 20seconds before we regained possession of the ball And Nacho was still offside from

our previous attack..

Yeah he would.  If you give him plenty of chances he would score hatfuls.

[LCFCCHRIS]

He normally looks decent with Vardy on the field imo.. as @FrankieADZ said a lot more to him than Perez, both goal threat wise and setting stuff up. 

[Dahnsouff]

So Nacho comes into the side to replace Vardy and take up the same job, the same position.

He just isn`t that sort of lethal predator like Vardy, he is a more cultured player, a creator and a some time goal scorer.

He will not break the lines, he needs support, or, he provides the support to another (Non-Vardy) striker.

 

He IS a good player in an appropriate system and I am convinced this is true. 

 

 

Whoever mentioned Musa....

Must have been watching a different game as he barely gave the ball away, held it up well, linked nicely. But he won't suit that sort of performance today. It goes into him and then there's nobody running beyond because they're all so used to doing Vardy doing that whilst they drop deep. The manager has got to coach that into them when we're going to be without Vardy.

I agree. I thought he played alright considering he was the only person up top having to cope with their back four alone. He never gave the ball away and made a couple of neat turns that created opportunities. He was far more effective than slimani. 
 

Iheanacho won’t work in our system until we get runners beyond the striker though. Under must replace Perez for iheanacho to become more effective.

[StriderHiryu]

Brilliant today, fully deserved his goal but worked like a dog for the team.

 

For me he gets way too much stick on here. He's a very valuable addition to the squad and is capable of real quality.

 

Respect to the Nacho man!

 

[Bourbon Fox]

He's a team player, patient, and most importantly he comes up with the goods when he's needed. Not easy when you don't get a solid rhythm of starts.

 

He's an unsung hero and he deserves some love.

[frany104]

Good player and doesn’t deserve half the stick he gets on here. Valuable member of the squad. You won’t find many better back up strikers in the league. 

[Kevin Russell]

Anyone who said we should play Perez instead of Kel watch this evening’s game. He created chances and scored his goal - very good performance.

[TheCryptoPoet]

Pretty convinced now that our best full strength team is a 433 and that it includes nacho. He's a good player and noticibaly better a bit deeper and with support. He can't play that lone Vardy role. 

 

Kasper

Ricardo

Evans

Soy

Castagne

Ndidi

Maddison

Tielemans

Nacho

Barnes 

Vardy

 

Think that'd work well and to the players strengths, full attacking width comes from full backs with ndidi shoring up the defence when they do. Plenty of pace, counter and link up play up top as well. 

 

Gives us a good bench too. 

[FrankieADZ]

good game from Kel tonight, has an eye for a pass and can finish too

dont get me wrong he has his off moments but atm hes an important member of the squad, even with Vardy fit

[RowlattsFox]

He's inconsistent within games, he always will be. But he has goals in him, he gets a few chances you'd bet him scoring at least one of them. 

[FoxesWalk]

Kelechi is a link up man, that’s his role. We should change the way we play to get the best out of him if he needs to start up top alone when Vardy is out. 
 

He functions very well with bodies around him, and often with his back to goal. Get Barnes and Maddison up around him and we will get goals.
