Kelechi Iheanacho

[The boy Linacre]

The big fear was if Vardy got injured we had no back up, now both Perez and Nacho can cover.

 

You have to say that if Brendan has been instrumental in this improvement he has earned the contract pay rise he got last week.

Hope Man C don't activate the buy back clause

Not sure if this was tongue in cheek, but the buy-back clause was only valid for a year after we signed him.

This turnaround makes me wonder whether Rodgers could have coaxed a player out Silva?

I think Silva bulking up by 4 stone, growing 4/5 inches and shaving 3 seconds off his 100m PB is beyond even Rodgers. Or would attract interest from the doping agency

I think it's easy for people to get carried away with Iheanacho after just 2 games. I mean he is still only the 2nd best striker in the league behind Vardy.

God like, but even god would struggle to do the

[Clever Fox]

Another great performance today. I love his movement and strength in possession. 

He's playing with a smile again with the weight off his shoulders. 

Long may it continue.

[Guest ttfn]

Absolutely superb today, picked up some great positions off Vardy and his ball to Vardy for the first goal was weighted perfectly in difficult conditions.

 

He’s finally looking like the player we signed.

[theessexfox]

He’s showing that he’s more than just a goalscorer - he has a sublime first touch and a great weight of pass. Really pleased for him 

[whoareyaaa]

that ball to Vardy was top class, perfect weight through a tight space while megging some **** in the process

If he continues like this, the 25M fee paid will seem like a bargain. Who would have thought, another one of Rudkins' bargains.

The backend of his first season I thought he showed some promise, got a couple of really high-class assists (West Brom away springs to mind) but last season I did give up on him, looked too lazy to ever make it here. Has upped his work rate, has clearly worked with the coaches and is now in a team full of confidence and the last two appearances he has looked superb. His renaissance makes squad depth look a whole of a lot better.

Started to well now about time.

Couple of good touches and passes doesn't mean theyre now sublime attributes of his 😂 He had one of the worst first touches id seen for ages Not so long ago, but I'm pleased he's doing some good things for once

[Livid]

He’s looking good, making the runs, holding it up, making the right pass, putting in a tackle (yellow card my......) and finishing his chances.

Others getting in on the Nacho wagon now 

[Ric Flair]

He is really very dangerous in that inside right position behind Vardy, must be a nightmare to pick up. 

[Tielemans63]

He's potentially better in the Perez position than Perez is 

[HybridFox]

So happy for him. He's made a case to be a regular starter based on those performances. Link up play between him and Vardy is a joy to watch at times

[Blueman1967]

We could be saving a bit of money in January, and I was wrong about him 

[StriderHiryu]

 

Says it all! What a turnaround from the Nacho man!

[MC Prussian]

I'm so glad for Kelechi. Had to go through some really rough times in recent months and years.

 

Part of me hopes Rodgers can work some more on Iheanacho in order to form him into the player everyone would accept to replace Vardy in a few years' time.

Love his role as alternating between almost a false nine and a conventional centre forward. Happy to come deep and allow the midfield runners past him so he can slide them in, but also happy to run at a defence.

Really quite versatile.

[coolhandfox]

Looks trimmer and a couple of yards quicker than he was last year.

 

Good to see him producing the goods!
