Kelechi Iheanacho

[Corky]

He's always been a threat in cup matches for us, albeit mostly against lower league opposition.

 

Scored 6 in the league in the last six weeks and his general play looks good, too.

[Spudulike]

What a fantastic interview. I felt emotional after that. 

 

My new favourite player.

Bloody love Nacho! Looks like he’s really kicking on and now knows his role in the team...if we can keep him and Vardy fit and in this sort of form (with Vards adding a few goals) for the rest of the season we will be fine and may even pick up some silverware with the FA Cup

[Mike Oxlong]

Saw someone in the match thread ask why were we bringing on Marc at half time. I thought he had a super 45 minutes 

[baldeagle]

Goals aside I thought his all round play was fantastic again today put a couple on a plate for Vardy and some of his hold up play was superb 

[Shamomoa]

Iheanecho is my new favourite player did you see his interview ❤ need more players to give interviews like that! Let's hope he keeps it up! 

[Guest Dirkster the Fox]

Refreshing a footballer scoring a hat-trick means so much to him.

 

I'm not into blubbing, but that was a genuine huge moment in his life and I'm glad I could watch him do it live.

 

Well done NACHO!!!

 

[Reginaldo]

Well done Kel, doing your mum proud 🥲 

[LCFCbwoi]

Can somebody post the interview up? 

[HighPeakFox]

Fabulous performance, lovely interview, and a world class birthdate too.

[Ian Nacho]

Could see how much it meant to him. I know he gets paid well but it must have been a tough few years mentally to never be the main man no matter what you do.

or game changing moments...

This season he s Really started to realise his potential....Really Happy for the guy....

£50m buyback clause until 2022, we need to hide him a little longer

A shadow of the team they were last season. Just goes to show what injuries have done to smaller clubs with lack of depth and scheduling due to covid.

[StriderHiryu]

The blades were poor but should we play this formation more often? Not only does it unlock Nacho, but Perez looks much better too. Vardy might not have scored but for me was sensational too. I prefer the 4213 but this system seems good against bus parking teams. 

[Tuna]

He's such a lovely guy and it's wonderful to see him doing well, I've written him off loads of times, he's showing us what he is capable of now and I hope it continues.

[5waller5]

So pleased for the guy, he's clearly a humble atypical footballer personality, and finding confidence and form has been a long tough journey for him.

 

To find that form in such sensational style clearly means so much to him, it was so endearing to see the human under the kit break through after the third goal went in.

 

His humility in the interview will have won him many friends, he seems like such a nice down-to-earth lad, in an alien world of designer labels, massive pressure, and huge personalities.

 

He had me in tears today, I'm so pleased for him, I really hope he can keep smiling and believing in himself!

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

For me it's quite clear he's a confidence player but when he's on form he's deadly. When I looked at his goals pre season 2 seasons ago they were always great goals, he has gone backwards but maybe that's the clubs fault for not managing him properly. He has such good positioning and we play now to his style. His pace let's him down but he's now stronger on the ball, he's a great option, I'm not sure he's an £80k a week option though and that's the problem

I'd disagree, a competent defence would deal with us in this formation with very few issues. We lack width and end up playing at a snail's pace.

 

We were fortunate against Brighton and Burnley. Today we beat a team that had given up and werent up to the job.

 

4 2 3 1 done properly with overlapping full backs gives us another body further up the pitch. Its still our best formation for breaking down weaker teams for me.
