Kelechi Iheanacho

[Foxes96]

Always comes up with big goals. Puts a shift in and can look decidedly average for most of the game at times and then gets a goal when it matters. Thought he played well today and his link up play is often good just his touch etc which lets him down at times. Think if he played consistently would be a 20 goal a season striker. Would happily give him a new contract, offers us something different and Vards only have a couple of years left surely.

Definitely a confidence player, heard he’s brilliant in training at scoring wonder goals but just couldn’t translate it on a match day, maybe it’s fan pressure . Hopefully this is just the start.

I was defending Nach when he was getting slated by others, then I conceded and thought he was rubbish, now I think my original opinion was correct. He's a confidence player and needs to play in a certain set up and at the minute the way we're playing suits him

This makes me so sad, should have been getting off my tits singing this in vicky park last June now it will never happen

Took his recent goals really well. 
Played a great forward ball to Vardy too.

Really good positional play tonight.

His 1st touch can sometimes be a little poor, but I think that improves the more he plays.

[Eskay]

If you want any reminder never to pay attention to the 'pundits'.....the chance he missed v arsenal (when 3-1 down and about a minute to go)he was slated......fast forward a week and he get MOTM and the guys in the studio are talking about how great he is.

Always rated him. You can’t expect someone to perform when the minutes you get are limited. He’s clearly a confidence player and the more game time he gets the better he will perform consistently. Well happy for Kel. Keep it up!

[Scotch]

Starting to think that the way forward is signing a potential partner for Nacho. 

 

Hes essentially useless up top on his own but as part of a pair he is a totally different player. 

 

Nacho and Eduoard  could be very good. 

[M0901]

Amazing how after his penalty miss against Palace, he’s now fought his way back into the team and now he’s undroppable! It’s a funny old game.

[Bamboo]

He is science fiction right now and it is a joy to behold. Playing with a real attitude, long may it continue. 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Brilliant goal again he's a a goalscorer I've said it all along when Vardy isn't firing or other attackers are out he's a must play. First touch was well off tonight but sometimes it is and doesn't matter a jott when he can finish like that.

The boy can finish! Never doubted that. Great to see his increased work rate too. Was hoping he would step up when we needed him most, and he really is! 

[UHDrive]

Iheanacho is playing great football right now but I still dont think he'll be here after next year. We will be getting a new striker anyway and I dont see him as a 20 goal a year prem striker. 

[eblair]

love him is pure chaos, reminds me of jeff in way he can look absolute world beater one minute to dribbling ball off the sideline the next

Would be foolish to let him go.Apart from the fact he can score goals,we would have to go into the market looking for a potential two new strikers.Not the easiest task at the best of times.

Well I’ll be the one to say it

 

not sure if it’s the post victory beers, but I genuinely believe a prolonged run in the side would see Iheanacho get around 20 goals a season...

[brucey]

He's just waiting until the Man City buyback option is close to expiring before getting good

Forgot about that

Rodgers isn’t having him. Watch his post-match interview on sky...
 

The interviewer tees him up with a question about Iheanacho’s form and he quickly says he’s working hard and then proceeds to eulogise about Vardy and talk about the team shape.

 

Compare that with a question on Tielemans just seconds later and he talks at length about the quality of the player and his performance.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him on his way in the summer.

[Analysethis]

Its a shame that Brendan doesn't really rate Kelechi IMO. 

 

He played Ayoze when Vards went for an op despite Kelechi not letting us down when called upon, especially in Europe (3 in 7 I think playing with "Lesser" players) and disappointingly, he never praises Kelechi when due.

 

The reporter lined up a question in the post-match interview about how important Kelechi was but Rodgers almost looked irritated! He turned to Vards contribution in response LOL!! I love Brendan but its evident that he wants someone else as a back-up striker which is a shame.

[Webbo]

He took his goal well, I thought he'd blown the chance but he was very calm and collected. I think Brendan took him off and not Vardy because Vardy keeps 2 defenders backs just with his presence. It shouldn't be seen as a slight on Ihenacho.

Thought that at the time. Normally Rodgers is effusive in his praise of individuals if they are singled out by the reporter. Was strange how he pivoted to talking about Vardy.
