Iheanacho

It does seem a strange thing to focus on, when a player who has been harshly treated (surely we can agree on that?) comes into the side and delivers a match winning performance. Focus on the superb through ball for Tete or the movement and diving header I say. It just feels like some people are desperate to give him backhanded compliments. 

The focus is on neither the miss nor the the through ball, the focus is the apparent contradiction of the same player being responsible for the both. Hence the use of the word... whatever word you want to use for it.

What's the opposite of an enigma? 

Good question - very enigmatic. In footballing terms - Kelechi Iheanacho

Would be harsh to drop him for the next game..

He’s played himself in to start without doubt.

Footballer in doing something good and bad in the same game shocker

you’d think so.. but this is Rodgers we’re talking about..

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers: "Our football was outstanding, we could have had more if we had been clinical...

[ian__marshall]

Just rewatched the Tete highlights on the Tete thread and that through ball from Iheanacho for Tete's goal alone was absolute class. The vision and weight of pass were perfectly executed. If Maddison had done that pundits would have been raving about his technical ability. Needs to maintain his place in the team.

I love him so much, his run of form in 20/21 was just laughably good and he always seems to have an impact, hope he’s around for a while longer 

[NasPb]

Our unsung hero. Kelechi iheanacho is a blessing. He's just so heterodox. Love him as a player and surely a great man as well. Deserves to be the first name on the team sheet with Maddison

Nacho, our leading goal scorer/contributor per minute once again showed why he should start every single game.

 

2 assists, 1 goal.

 

Why does Rodgers keep having him on the bench or subbing him off???

Nacho was our leading goal scorer two seasons ago. He was our best goal contributor per minute, but Rodgers kept dropping him. He has played himself to start since 2-3 years ago, but Rodgers is just blind so we will need to wait and see.

[Marutimon]

Let's say that for one season we actually start Iheanacho week in, week out and he manages 2800 minutes of football in the league.

 

And use his goals per game average when he does play...

 

He's a 16-17 goal per season striker. Plus some 10 assists to boot... Possibly more if he gets in form.

Wanted him to start and he's delivered. Delighted for him. Hopefully this is the start of a good run of form for him. 

He has always been in good form. He just didn’t start.

[Ian Nacho]

Our number 9 now.

The annoying thing is he can keep up these performances for a month, man of the match for consecutive games but the second he has a stinker, which Vardy and Daka have every week this season, good as, he'll be back in the wilderness for a prolonged period of time and some on here will justify it by saying how inconsistent he is after one bad game. Still makes my blood boil, why I largely leave this thread and in fact this entire part of the forum pretty much be, some brain dead people about. 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Just watched the miss again on MOTD, should have scored.

In a lot of ways agree with where you are are coming from…

but don’t forget, a while after Rodgers began, Nacho was given his chance…

He stolpernd, his feet were in another stadium,and he quite let a few times, chances go a begging be because he was failing to pick up easy controllable passes….

He even got slated across this forum after the CP penalty…( which I found unfair)

So Nacho carried baggage…..

For me after awhile a couple of seasons,it’s worth digging into that matured player

& see how he,can give us another outlet…

like you I thought after our first few games this season,we needed that change,preferably alongside Daka…Like ALL managers they have their favourite set ups, Like Gillies,Bloomfield,MON, it takes awhile,but change is forced..

Rodgers took sometime,but even I and other fans still needed convincing he can now be the positive influence we need as first choice,because he still has problems,controlling his first ball & movement.

Though now he is the man calling the shots he deserves a solid run in the side,

miskicks n all.

A thousand times better than Daka

That would have an been an A star performance if he had but still has contributed more than Vardy and Daka have in recent games.

[coolhandfox]

Needs a team around him that has legs, pace and movement. Which is possible now.

 

Much better when he has players running beyond him like the pass for Tete goal.

Love him

I always believed he had a football brain, he just has to start to get it agreeing with his feet,on a more regular basis…

At present for he has to be given the chance…this is his time..!!

[Clt1900]

I would say his touch has improved 10 fold since he first came to Leicester.
