Only reason we’d sell him cos we have a clueless manager. He creates so many chances for others. 

Indeed, same reason we had no choice but to offload Praet.  You can't simply be a mid-table side that buries accomplished international players in the reserves - that shlt doesn't fly.  Kelechi has been a paragon of patience by never publicly expressing his displeasure, but even that won't last forever.

Rodgers finds it easy to drop certain players....

And almost impossible to drop others (Maddison, Barnes... albeit Maddison has been on fire lately TBH, but the amount of faith Rodgers put in him when he was shite is in stark contract with Iheanacho).

I genuinely am baffled by Nacho's omission from the team (Covid or not). Today, against his former team that brought him through, where we were expected to just collapse - and had - he stepped up and provided a good performance. 

Thankless task for the lad and he needs to be shown the love he deserves. Vardy isn't gonna last much longer and we have a PROVEN goal scorer in Nacho. I cannot understand why he isn't being given a great big pat on the back and told "keep Vardy out of the team, I dare you"

Not saying this is fair or that I agree but I think a main reason why Ihenacho doesn't play as much is the defensive side of his game.

 

There can be lack of game intelligence, he gives away too many easy fouls when pressuring opposition defenders. He doesn't press as well as Daka and we saw today his lack of defensive nous at corners (although no way he should have been defending against their biggest threats so the system is to blame as well). 

 

But his attacking qualities are fantastic and rather he plays than Barnes. 

 

We should play either the diamond or 3-5-2 moving forward so we can get him into the team. He also links up well with Maddison.

I’m a huge Vardy fan, but I think he now needs to be rotated with Daka and Kel as they have both shown they can contribute significantly as well. I do think Vardy’s overall contribution isn’t what it once was - he has to work in bursts and whilst he’s still lethal his body just won’t let him do what he used to. 
 

Personally I like how Kel has the strength to hold the ball up - I’d really like to see him with 2 quick wingers running beyond. His touch is immaculate a lot of the time, which makes it more frustrating when he has a sloppy half/game.

 

Whatever people’s views on Kel let’s do away with the slander - it’s pointless clinging on to negativity now, he’s proved the doubters wrong over an extended period. He has shown his quality and it’s up to the Manager to use it. Unfortunately, Brendan has managed him terribly to date and it feels like he wants to prove himself right more than he wants to help the team.

79 90s, 43 Goals and 23 assists for us now. Absolutely incredible numbers.

Shame Rodgers would rather persist with one up front just to get Barnes in the side.

 

Iheanacho/Vardy should be our main partnership.

Today was his chance to stick it to BR and cement his place until at least Vardy gets fit. Apart from his goal he looked completely uninterested. What is going on with our players. All of them look like they don't want to be on that pitch.

Kel has NEVER performed up top on his own - another poor call  from the manager …..

'Apart from his goal' ... This is exactly what he's supposed to do.

So a mistake by a goal keeper (albeit a great finish) makes it alright to be disinterested in the game or have a terrible game? 

Terrible game? Plenty of nice touches and hold up play in the first half but when you're isolated, what do you expect him to do?

He didn't look disinterested. He was probably disheartened by the defence conceding soft goals and the lack of service. When he got the chance he finished well. Lots of criticism due today but I think you're focussing in the wrong direction.

Our attack is the last thing we need to be worrying about. Kelechi + Daka with Maddison actually looks solid on paper whereas i have no idea what's going on at he other end of the pitch at the moment. One thing i will stand by is i prefer kelechi to barnes/lookman, whilst they are both good players i think iheanacho has more to him
