Kelechi Iheanacho

[Hales]

Well done Kel, so good today. So pleased for him. You could see how much that meant 💙

[nabb7]

Football aside when you see how emotional he was after his third you can’t help but be so so delighted for him. Monster performance!!

[splinterdream]

Will we offer him a new contract I wonder? 

[Beachyboy]

5 goals in his last 6 as many as hes scored in his previous 54, what a stat!!

[lgfualol]

Unbelievably good today, so pleased for him.

I'd be wary about doing that given he's not shown any consistency for us with fans in stadiums.

5 in his last 3

[Goober]

The ultimate confidence player. Unstoppable and currently undroppable

[Farrington fox]

Really pleased for him. Looks a different player tbf. Has something just clicked or has Brendans input been key.

Think Vardy is out again after this. Seems to be really limping since the last assist to Nacho.

Think he stubbed his toe

[Stopper]

Really pleased for him, have been critical but who hasnt.  Has had a run of games and he’s doing a job.  Fair play !

Perhaps because until the last three games we’ve not exactly offered him our supportive best. So delighted for him. He’s earned our respect now IMO.

Absolutely delighted for him.

 

There's always been a quality player in there, even after the missed penalty at Palace when he hit rock bottom.

 

He knows himself that he probably hasn't been good enough, or been given the opportunities. 

 

To be almost in tears after scoring your first Premier League hat-trick, shows how much he cares.

 

Well done Kelechi, your determination and effort, when called upon in recent weeks, has been superb.

 

You earnt that.

He was in tears. No doubt about it. The camera pulled away but you could tell he was actually sobbing just before. So pleased for him.

Well he has the one time he's had a run. December-Jan (might be out on timings) time last season he was our best player and then got dropped by Rodgers as per.

 

Be mental to not give him a new contract now.

We’ve finally got the ‘Man City Iheanacho™️‘ wow 🤩 

100%. I think a lot of us have been critical at times but i think deep down we always wanted this nacho to show his colours. Definitely a confidence player and i hope this is a corner turned and long may it continue for both him and city. Well done nacho,  fantastic play keep it up mate!

People forget he’s only 24; still got his best years ahead of him.

[StanSP]

Anyone else just beaming with pride for Kel today

 

Feel like a proud dad moment for the kid that finally came good. He's playing with such confidence and just seems to be enjoying his football now.

 

2 of the goals were relatively easy to finish but a player with confidence makes those kind of runs and times them perfectly which he did today. The third was the icing on the cake. Superb hit. 

 

[lcfc_forever]

The emotion he showed when he got his hat-trick was lovely to see.

 

What a partnership he's formed with Vardy. So pleased for him. The talent was clearly there, but Ihenacho's now got the confidence as well and playing with another striker has brought out the best in him.

[dynamark]

Give vardy some credit also but he just seems to ignore the keeper and put it in the net very odd

[BigGibbo]

Good lad. Different animal with a strike partner. Fingers crossed this gives him the confidence to lead the line on his own too. Let's see it against top teams now.

[Analysethis]

In farness to Kelechi he seems to play in sides when its our 2nd string and with that its not really a true reflection of his skills.

 

He has shown he can play as a striker but also looks really good in that Maddison no 10 role too. The fact that he is playing with mostly the 1st team means we see the real Kelechi.

 

He deserves a new contract or else we need to cash in during the summer.

[HoChiMinhFOX]

Imagine Édouard and him as a strike partnership 🔥🔥

Anyone know if the buy back clause is still active? If he keeps this up Man City could really scumbag us.

lets not get carried away, he'd need to show this sort of form for about 2 seasons, for that to even be entertained from there side, which would be brilliant for us.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Really happy for Nacho, definitely a confidence  player and he’s brimming with it now!
