Iheanacho

[Kinowe Soorie]

Seems to miss the bread and butter chances. Strange player to me.

[peterborofox]

Said it for two years. He should be one of the first couple of names on the teamsheet

 

He's so much more nowadays than just a scorer. He's become a good link up player and comes deep and almost into the Maddison role too. 

 

Top player, just hope Brendan has woke up to this now 

[RumbleFox]

100% our first choice forward right now. People say some weird things about him but if you look at the stats he’s a goal involvement machine. Pleased for him. 

[Lcfc-1992]

Listen, Leicester might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Kele’s at the wheel, man. He's doing it.”

[Corky]

Said it earlier this season but this lad has real character. Not really trusted by any manager here yet he works hard and contributes. The fans are now firmly on his side. He delivers.

 

Top lad.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

His movement today was different gravy. When he’s on confidence he’s a really good. Surely must have a run in the team now.

Have a day off man, no one dislikes or thinks Iheanacho is crap they can just acknowledge we won't get the best out of Daka with our form or how we've played this season. 

I know tonnes of people who think he's crap; just have a look at the state of this forum normally.

[Buzzell]

Should be our first choice striker without a doubt.

Absolutely this. He has limitations. But he is easily the most influential forward we have right now. Vardy and Daka have virtually no impact, currently. One of them is unlikely to get better. One of them might not have a ‘better’ to aspire to. No-brainer, therefore.

Yeah scoring and assisting goals is a strange one for a forward 😂

Goal and two assists, only makes the case stronger for him to be playing more. BR has explained why he hasn’t, but can’t help thinking we’ve missed out not playing Kelechi enough. Yes he has his downfalls but seems to me to have more of an influence than Daka and probably the better option (at least for the time being). Not to say Patson isn’t more suited to certain games but I’m yet to be fully convinced. We need more from him in my opinion. 

Just to add to this, Iheanacho ended 2020/21 as the club's top goalscorer but since then must feel hard done by in terms of game time. At the same time though, it's obviously been tactical as well with the right winger situation.

Things happen when he plays. Yes he misses some big chances but his goal contributions make up for that

Would love to see him given the chance to establish himself as our #1 striker.  
 

next season without Maddison and probably Tielmans you need a player to build around and it could be hm

[Sunbury Fox]

Very unorthodox player who let's be honest can be immensely frustrating, but his goal involvement stats speak for themselves. Have to give him a run now.

Nah, I get what's being said. As @foxfanazerjust said, Nacho makes stuff happen but can equally look like he has clown feet. Enigma is the word.

The main question is why the **** has Nacho been sat watching for most of the season?! 
 

Get quality wide players and attacking midfield options around him and he will find them and score goals himself

You’ve kind off answered your own question we’ve not had quality wide players to get around him .

Yeah but he doesn’t miss bread and butter chances, to the extent that it’s worth a mention alone. If that’s the case, Vardy and Daka do. He’s unpredictable and an enigma sure, but these words should be understood with positive connotations , rather than negative.

[Ric Flair]

No brainer that he starts at the min. Vardy is way off it right now and Daka's been poor of late.

 

It's his to lose now and I think he'll enjoy the directness of Tete and in time Barnes running on from his positional play from deep.

Kind of, but not really.

 

I agree in part re. quality wide players but Nacho's minutes this season have been criminally low regardless. We were using Barnes and Maddison on the wings for large chunks of the season, and I think Nacho would link up better with them than Daka has, particularly as we've spent most of the season struggling to build from midfield/wide areas into meaningful attacks that lead to clear cut chances. Nacho helps that far more than Daka, and arguably more than Vardy.

It’s mad. He’s clearly a very very good striker. 

[HybridFox]

Loves a goal against Villa too x

Why do you assume they're being used negatively?

[lifted*fox]

has to start. has been weirdly frozen out at times even though his stats say he's our best shot as actually making things happen in the opposition box. 

 

can't fault his application, spends months in the cold and comes into games / cup games and does the business. 

 

miles ahead of vardy and daka.
