Babylon Posted 28 March 2018 Share Posted 28 March 2018 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Gerard said: The evidence so far suggests he's a flat track bully. That's not necessarily a bad thing but it means he's largely ineffective against superior teams or maybe teams at our level. Not sure what evidence we can glean from 3 premier league starts.... other than he clearly hasn't got the trust of our managers yet.

One goal in 473 mins of PL football this season equates to 7 goals a season if he played virtually a whole season. In his defence he has bullied inferior teams in the cups and that's not a criticism of him as someone needs to do it and Vardy's strike rate is no better against inferior teams as it is against superior teams. He has had two assists in the PL this season in his 473 minutes which equate to 14 over a full season. They were both sublime assists as well so he needs credit for that. I haven't given up on Iheanacho as he has great pedigree and is still very young but I have mostly been underwhelmed with him so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuchsntf Posted 28 March 2018 Share Posted 28 March 2018 I would Play him and Trust him until EOS.Try to find a system,that can incorporate him and Vardy as a pair. Maybe See If we can get Diabete Into the Set Up. Okazaki to take a Back Seat.Then your chosing between,Gray and Albrighton. No Matter how Puel Wants to Play it,I wont criticise His selections,He has for me Carte Blanche,He is the Guy on the Trigger,and will have rightly his own Agenda. His priorities might Just Not fit,or agree with some of the Fans,who believe He has something to prove,in their eyes. IMO the Run in until the EOS,it will be the selected Players who have to prove their commitment and Potential,for the right to be in next seasons Squad. ..ITS a simple,we are Safe now we and Puel "have to Know" and yes the Ambition we should have,should see us at least competing for that highest covetted Position of 7th. But I wont hold Puel to it. I prefer to See a controlled and successfull rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokes Posted 28 March 2018 Share Posted 28 March 2018 I was worried about him when we signed him, I don’t think he is a bad player, just a bad fit for Leicester. Players without that intense work rate rarely fit in with the fans here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Yakubu in the team we underperformed as a team and disappointed in our league position. It was only when the team ethic was brought in by Pearson that we had success.

We had a little run of wins midway through 2010/11 with that Sven loan team where we were superb, banging goals in and playing some amazing stuff. Then we got unstuck against Cardiff (?) away and never looked the same, think that culminated with Weale ****ing it at Forest. Then Sven had a proper window and ****ed it bar Nuge, Kasper and Konch.

With that in mind you'd think Iheanacho wasn't that well paid at Man City so if we've offered him £115k a week we deserve everything that is coming to us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off memory when Yakubu smashed that goal at Derby things were looking really going. We played Norwich midweek and went 1 up, only to lose 1-3.

MC Prussian Posted 10 May 2018 Share Posted 10 May 2018 Will come very good in the future, if given the chance. Works well alongside Vardy in a CF role, maybe not the most physical of players, but compensates with his skill and speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he's the heir to Vardy's throne but no issue with his search for game time in different positions on the pitch as it'll only improve him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee7 Posted 10 May 2018 Share Posted 10 May 2018 Him and Vardy potentially could be a lethal partnership with the right players around them. Iheanacho is more than capable of sliding passes in behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateWinner Posted 10 May 2018 Share Posted 10 May 2018 Dudes got fast feet If he was more consistent, him and Vardy would be one of the best attacking combinations in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 10 May 2018 Share Posted 10 May 2018 Was last night his best performance in a City shirt? Maybe. Given his price and pedigree Nacho has been a big disappointment. 2 league goals is poor going. But that said the potential is there and ultimately I do see him being our next number 9. In fairness he’s also started to improve his play as the support striker which is encouraging to see. But I’m hoping for a much bigger contribution from him next season.

Popular Post RonnieTodger Posted 10 May 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 10 May 2018 (edited) Was delighted for him last night. Considering how shit we've been lately, he'd been one of our better players. Created our only couple of chances at Palace and got dragged off at HT. Did nothing against West Ham, but so did everyone. When we had a good first 20 minutes vs Southampton, he looked our most lively spark then too. Hopefully with a good run in the team, he'll produce the goods.

coolhandfox Posted 10 May 2018 Share Posted 10 May 2018 He need a run of games, he has talent and a good skillset, but still doesn't look match fit. I think with a good pre-season and a run of games he could be very good. One of my big criticism of Puel is he doesn't give players a proper run, one bad game you are dropped.
