Kelechi Iheanacho

[glebe_sydneyfox]

The man with the plan scores goals

who'd have thunk it

[Marutimon]

Pretty obvious that at the moment Iheanacho is not only up there as a threat together with Vardy, but he's City's only consistent creative channel. 

 

Vardy, Ndidi and Iheanacho are irreplaceable at the moment.

Taken off again for no f***** reason

He wasn’t particularly great second half, couldn’t hold the ball up. I could understand why the change was made but the idea behind  it was irrelevant once we couldn’t defend for shit 

[Hales]

Well done Kel, one of the very few to be able to walk off with some positives. I'm sick of his blooming treatment though. Why sub him? It made no sense!

[Jakemoore]

Has to start every game and play the full 90 as much as physically possible.

Lol. Brendan dont fancy him so unlikely.  I agree though.

He made the only pass of note in attack of any players in the second half, so still would have been last off in my book.

I don't believe Iheanacho has it in him to be nasty or pissed off but its time he found it somewhere.

 

He's being treated very unfairly.

Brendan certainly has his favourites .....

[StriderHiryu]

Shouldn’t have been taken off for me, he was our best player. If we wanted to change shape I’d even suggest taking Vardy off instead because not only did Kelechi score but he was the only one creating anything. 

[FoxesWalk]

He simply has to play every game now. We need him to hold the ball and drag us up the pitch, because we can’t pass our way out. 

[turlo]

You know Rodgers will come out with something along the lines of "playing two up top causes too many issues further back as we saw today". He'll be dropped for the next game unless he plays 5 at the back

[Paninistickers]

Love him.

I think the ball has to played to you first for you to “hold the ball up”.

Agree, but unfortunately there is zero chance he'll play against Utd.

 

As highly as I rate Iheanacho, he is best as a second striker.  There's now way Brendan will play two up front against Utd

Really don't understand this view of Rodgers.  There must be several ways of including Iheanacho and Vardy together.For example, 4-3-3.  A genuine 3-man midfield would gives us much-needed strength in midfield.  The 3 up front could be Vardy & Iheanacho with Lookman.  There are several other options  e.g. an in-form Maddison playing in the hole behind Vardy & Iheanacho.

 

It seems to me so important to play them together that a way MUST be found.

[moore_94]

Well great…

You were saying?

 

 

[filbertway]

Attacked, I knew it'd be a push

 

[FoxesWalk]

Nigeria fans on Twitter are suggesting he was injured when he came off… hopefully it’s nothing serious

Tbf, we’re being careful and managing him, wrapping him up and limiting his minutes to prevent any potential injuries so it shouldn’t be too much off an issue for us.

True, i think Rodgers doesn't need an excuse to "rest" Kelechi.
