Rigga Posted 26 January 2022 Posted 26 January 2022 Jeez..Kel was unbelievable last season.BR just doesn’t like him.. why would we want a defensive forward ? BR May do when abysmally defending leads…
An Sionnach Posted 26 January 2022 Posted 26 January 2022 Werner, fast skillful, good first touch - no goals. Iheanacho, not fast , moderate skill, dodgy first touch - plenty of goals. Why? He does the unexpected and defenders hate that. 4
lcfc_forever Posted 26 January 2022 Posted 26 January 2022 (edited) Rodgers' brand of football is controlled offence. He likes his teams to be on the front foot, aggressive in the press, run hard and play to well-practised patterns. Despite his very good form in the past few months, I think Ihenacho is a bit too maverick for him. Yet he's shown more patience with Barnes, which I don't think is merited, as he's been inconsistent and not worked hard enough. Looks like Ihenacho will get a run of games alongside Daka, which would be deserved. Maddison seems to play well alongside Ihenacho as well. Edited 26 January 2022 by lcfc_forever

If you get Barnes in full form he's one of the best in the league. 1

He was unbelievable last season, breathtaking. 2

If this was about the number of chances they each create as opposed to goals it would make some sense to me (I'm not sure I describe Nacho as less skilful than him, although 'differently skilled' sounds ick) But in terms of goals? Nacho can finish. Werner is bobbins at it. Edited 26 January 2022 by turtmcfly

I would more likely suggest it is ‘do not lose approach’ we rarely start the game on the front foot and then only react when we go behind in games… when we do on the rare occasion take the lead, he immediately goes defensive inviting the opposition onto us… which costs is more often than not unfortunately .

We've taken the lead in 9 of our last 12 matches and scored 30 goals in the process. There's times we're turgid and horse muck but bar that weird negative mode he seemed to send us in to after we scored vs Brighton we've not been that pragmatic since the early part of the season as I think he's realised we're so crap at defending this season that we simply have to keep pushing. 1

No doubt he was great last season but Ihenacho had a barnstorming end to the season at a similar, if not better level. Yet he's appeared to show more patience with Barnes compared to Kel.

Both are really good young players, just pointing out they've had contrasting treatment. Edited 26 January 2022 by lcfc_forever

Yet he's appeared to show more patience with Barnes compared to Kel. I don't agree with Rodgers on Iheanacho, he should have been more integral but it being him or Barnes isn't the debate. Barnes is a left winger for a start and last season in that 4-2-3-1 him and Maddison were superb for a few months up to their injuries. Iheanacho then exploded and I must say he was one of the most devastating finishers I've seen in those few months but he was the only player that the 3-4-1-2 we played suited, he carried us through to the FA Cup final along with Tielemans and I thought he was going to drag us across the line for the Champions League. I still visualise that chance he had to sweep us 3-1 up vs Spurs with about 20 mins to go. But with most of our midfield and attackers fit he still is a conundrum. I'd play him in the midfield diamond with Daka or Barnes and I think that's likely to happen once we resume next month. 3

Exactly my thinking, I think a diamond with Ihenacho and Daka upfront is our best setup. Appreciate we've hijacked a thread on Ali Cho!

He came with a big reputation to Chelsea and is struggling to trouble the score board. Just looking at his 2018/20 season, he was allowed so much space in the box it was ridiculous. Most of the time the defences were so split apart he was the only player in the oppositions 6 yard box. That kind of space is not going to present itself to him in this league, and he needs to adjust his game to be a success in this league.

Lesta2014 Posted 27 January 2022 Posted 27 January 2022 Wonder if this is the soumare sequel deal? Heavily linked in January and was probably all tied up, will join in the summer?
