Kelechi Iheanacho

[filbertway]

The great shame is that Rodgers will drop him given his first opportunity. Absolutely love Kel. Hes been given a chance to prove his worth for next season and is showing how good he is when given a chance

[Fox42]

What a guy 

 

 

[Patrick]

The technique and goalscoring instinct he has shown in the past few games has been brilliant to see. He's clearly an excellent striker when he has confidence.

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

that may have been me, i take it all back now

I, too, have been critical of Nacho in the past and taking nothing away from his recent performances and this afternoon's superb efforts you have to remember it was relegation fodder in front of us today.

 

If he could be more consistent then we could have a world class player on our hands.

I'm in love 

[GlennyFox55]

So so pleased for him.

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

....this is the situation that we had been looking for when we bought him in!!!

The early injury which stopped this happening, then playing a lone striker and Nacho just not performing or seeming to put the effort in when he played. Having consecutive  games has helped no end and being slightly withdrawn now plays to his strengths. A bigger feature could just be how Vardy is redefining his own game, he has always read the game well, and now has become a great supplier to Nacho, that is one unexpected turnaround.

Kelechi ❤🥰

[frany104]

What a great guy and he’s deadly in front of goal. Makes me laugh all the hate he used to get because he wasn’t in form having 10 minute cameos here and there. You can see with a run of games and confidence he’s a good striker. He needs a new contract ASAP and we then search for a partner for him. 

[fox_favourite]

I take back everything that I said about him. He’s happily proved me wrong and when confident, he’s excellent. Needs a striking partner though. 

[Foxes1]

When we bought him wasn't  there was talk of Man C putting a buy back clause into the contract, if so does it still stand we may get 100 million for him of them. 

[Sly]

They do have a buy back clause in the contract. It’s been mentioned on BlueMoon

Surely that should have expired. There was one. 

[Blue ROI]

From Famine to feast.

 

Fair play Nachoman. 

[Collymore]

5 goals in 3 games. What a time to hit form. 

[foxfanazer]

Chuffed to bits for him (and us). Have to hold my hands up and admit I'd written him off previously 

[yorkie1999]

Like most players, getting a run in a side is the most important thing. The quality was always there

[ARTY_FOX]

Finally showing my faith in him was warranted. He's absolutley quality.  Been saying for ages given games he'll score. Love him. Absolute baller. Boys clinical. 

[southfox66]

Finally we playing him in the right way put him in the box and he will score goals that's how he played at Man City, I think we need to allow him to become our main striker and Vardy has to take secondary role but the way Vardy set up the two assist today still show the big role he can play without having to be the main striker. 

[Fox92]

Right I've slated him a fair bit in this thread especially so I am dead pleased he is looking confident and now scoring, given this run of games he's getting.

 

But, as I said in the post match thread, two up front is what I like to see (especially against sides at home who are in the lower half of the table). It's more of a threat and neither Kelechi or Vardy look as isolated given they're together. I know we won't play today's formation all the time but it was great to see Perez changing positions with Kelechi at times also.

Class act!

 

You can feel the emotion in his speech... he clearly has had some inner demons plaguing him for a while now. 
 

Will be interesting to see how he progresses going forwards... players like Di Canio and Cantona were mercurial; they had great ability but also had mental demons too. But when those players matured / fixed their problems they became all-time greats. 
 

Nacho doesn’t have the talent of those two but the guy is a natural born finisher. Under Pellegrini at Man City he looked like he’d become a Premier League superstar. Man City weren’t going to give him the time to develop but we were supposed to be that club! Nacho in the right team can score 20 a season IMO. Finishes 2 and 3 are proof of that. 

[peach0000]

I'm just wondering if @Muzzy_Larsson still doesn't think he's good enough for the SPL?
