Ridiculous statement

It may have been hyperbolic...

[Guest Cujek]

if he can keep up the level we saw against Everton, its like a new signing for us.

 

I know there is a hell of a player in there some where, lets hope it starts to show now.

 

I just wish Rogers had Kramaric still here, i still think he is the one that got away.

One thing that stood out in BR's interview with the Athletic was how much time he spent with the fringe players. He has regular chats with them lets them know how they are doing where they are in his plans what they need to do and what to expect. The general feeling around Puel is he didn't communicate at all well.

 

Formations, tactics, personnel are all secondary to the mental side of things, you could see Nacho was fired up the second he came on, Brendan has been stoking that fire all season, telling him he will get his chance and boy has he taken it. You can see it with Gray and Praet they know why they aren't in the first XI (we're just too damn good) but they believe in what we are doing and feel a part of it probably more so than the first team regulars did this time last season.

Gets in the starting lineup for next game for me purely on those sick flicks he was doing. Goal wasn't bad either..

The head groundsman at the club said that Rodgers has focussed "intensively" on Iheanacho in training over the last couple of weeks to try and get him up to speed towards his potential.

It surely seems to be paying dividends at present.

The guy seemed to be a lost cause under Puel, was as good as gone. If BR can manage to turn Nacho's Leicester career around, that would be unbelievable.

A goal and an assist and it's only half time!

 

Talk about a phoenix from the flames! He's been outstanding.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

It’s like having a new signing! 

[Corky]

Mentioned it before but if we can get a tune out of him then we could save ourselves £25-30 million on a new striker and give Vardy a break.

Nacho man 

[foxes_rule1978]

Looks the part now, another fantastic performance 

[StanSP]

Huge credit needs to go to Rodgers for clearly sticking by him and also giving him confidence in his game and attitude to be patient and do the job required when coming in to the team.

 

Lots was said about how Rodgers was a superb man-manager and he's proving it with Iheanacho. 

 

And not only is it good for the player but how good is it for us as a club? Today showed Rodgers can switch it up and we can be so adaptive. It gives us other options in case we need to switch it up and also more important, if Vardy needs a rest/gets injured. 

It gives the rest of the team, and us as fans, confidence that if Vardy isn't playing we don't have to only rely on him to get goals now that Iheanacho is scoring and assisting.

[UniFox21]

Completely different player to what we'd seen before. He's lively, wanting the ball and being intelligent with how he uses it. Brilliant to see. 

[Nicolo Barella]

2 goals and 2 assists in about 90 minutes of PL football

[M0901]

Everything about him oozed quality. Dropping into the right areas to receive the ball, did the dirty work and the sublime. Absolutely delighted with his form! 

[Paninistickers]

Clearly a quiet lad who's prone to self doubt.

 

Well done, son. Take a bow. Superb today. Heskey style.peformance

[Foxin_Mad]

Great performance again from Nacho. Have to say he looks quality now, he wants the ball, he runs  intelligently, he does quick flicks, his finishing seems improved.

 

Like a new player.

 

 

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Was great to hear the fans singing his name too, will only get better I think. Once he if full off confidence we will have a cracking front 2 to choose from. 

[Lambert09]

Looks like we’ve just found our way to get Praet in the team! This could be huge.

Some people on this forum ridicules my posts when I said nacho was a great player, a confidence player who needs an arm round the shoulder, I'm so pleased I was right, because I got it totally wrong with Caglar
