Even someone who hasn’t seen him play would come to the idea that he is capable of being a premier league starter based on his goal contributions to minutes ratio.

 okay you go watch FIFA, and I'll go watch Leicester. Because he is a piss poor footballer

We're one of the higher scoring teams in the league, I can't see why we'd have to change everything around for only a "good" player who might play better, when vardy and daka are already better

 

That's a square peg in a round hole. 

...you could also call it a good option, or just Plan B!!!

Welbeck for nacho

Iheanacho’s started 70 premier league games (77 nineties) and in that time he’s scored 38 goals and set 21 up.

 

Some of the shit written about him is mental.

48 goals and 26 assists in 91 starts for us!

Rodger’s really has treated some our players like dogs - Kelechi is well within his rights to totally f@ck us off

[Buzzell]

I’m surprised how patient he is. Surely he must be so frustrated sitting on the bench. Fair play for not throwing his toys out of the pram.

Yes shows a great attitude and being a real team player - love this lad who got dropped for no apparent reason - along with Dennis Rodger’s treatment of has been baffling

I find comments like these strange, both Praet and Iheanacho are not as good as the players who are starting ahead of them.

You can only start 11 players, so we have to have quality players on the bench and ready to come on and impact games.

Praet wasn’t completely happy with this and got his loan move last season.

It’s the managers job to pick the strongest 11 for each game and it’s not treating someone poorly to not include them in the side.

Iheanacho has a quality goal scoring record, but doesn’t add the quality Vardy, Maddison or Barnes has in his all round play.

Praet is an intelligent footballer, but doesn’t defend as well as Ndidi, isn’t as creative as Maddison and his passing and game control isn’t as good as Tielemans, hence he’s sitting on the bench.

He’s bloody crap, all he does is score and assist goals!

 

Yakubu anyone?

It’s not that he’s crap, he’s just not as good as others, hence he’s on the bench.

[Lako42]

If I was him I'd be putting a transfer request in for Jan 

 

He's wasting his career here 

[Pliskin]

I’ve got a sneaking feeling he will end up at Forest in January. We’re just the kind of idiots who would sell him to a rival and then relegate ourselves. 

[Winchesterfox]

I think it's right he's on the bench, most of the time at least, but what makes no sense to me is Rodgers consistently bringing him on too late to make a difference.  

[ARM1968]

Itchy would have to start for me, most every game. He is an insane goal and assist machine. You’d just have to find a way to work with it.

Leeds I reckon. They desperately need a striker and have tried for him before (I believe).

But we won when he started, and he had a hand in both goals.  I suppose that counts for nothing in your view?

It does, and for what it’s worth I would start him again today - I just don’t think he’s in the best 11 when everyone is fit and on form.

As I’ve said, he’s a very good footballer and if we are going to get back towards the top end of the table we need good players who will sit on the bench. 
We need a full squad of quality footballers, but if we have that some need to understand they will be sitting out when everyone is fit.

I presume you didn’t get the sarcasm in my post. He’s not crap, he’s a very good premier league striker. 

[Stadt]

Excellent when he came on, should have done better with his chance but he just makes things happen. We don’t have another player with his hood up ability 

[dmayne7]

Surprise surprise, everything threatening about our play comes from him. Even when he's crap, he's still the only player in the squad (Maddison as well) who could make something out of nothing.

 

Abject management. If Rodgers didn't want to play him, why not sell him last year when we could have got a hefty fee for him? So odd. Wasting his career here.

[Charl91]

Don't think we've had anyone more hard done by in our squad than him. 

[Stadt]

He’s bailed out Rodgers time and time again. There was a moment in the first half where he dropped deep, drew in 3 of their players and scooped a lovely pass into Mendy (I think) in space. 
 

His ability to receive the ball to feet and link play is unmatched in our squad.
