Iheanacho

[Will1981]

The turn and through ball on halfway to release KDH was world class.

[dmayne7]

Still a million miles from his best and I think that sums up why so many of us thought he'd destroy this league.

 

Was really isolated in the first half and given he will always show for the ball, I think that shows it was the role he was asked to play and that the team weren't great

[Kevin Russell]

Lovely to see Kel play like this - also love to see him continually proving people wrong! 

[Raj]

Had a phase in the second half when he really looked hungry for the ball and came in deep to get it.

I like that hunger 

[funkyrobot]

A quiet night for the Nacho doubters on here tonight I guess. He was excellent. Great goal, great hold up play and showed good pace running onto the ball 👍🏻

Having a year left on his contract can work both ways.Do well Nacho and you can resign with a P/L club full of confidence 

[Old Fox]

Played well today and worked hard - linked the game and hopefully more consistency ahead

Some on here will still slaughter him though, for not being perfect

I felt he was far too deep a lot of the time. He is much, much better than he had been, but a lot of the time everything was tight in the middle of the pitch with a gaping whole up front. Don't know if this is what the coach wants or if this is Nacho's natural instinct, but Vardy doesnt seem as deep. Maybe Enzo wants the contrast.

 

Very well taken goal though. Excellent.

I’m not sure isolated is the word when we had all 10 outfield players in their half for the whole half. 
 

Just crowded out a bit. Their no.6 (who I was actually quite impressed with) was just tasked with the role of screening that pass off. 

[Number 6]

Was mixing up making runs with dropping deep, and took the goal really well. Good performance and nice as we continue to spread the goals about.

[RumbleFox]

He going to to get 20 league goals this year. Love the guy.
 

Also the whole disinterest thing is so weird. Last season I’d say only he and Vardy can hold their heads high and say they did all they could. That assist he got when he injured himself last season and his reaction to the goal was one of the most “pashun” things I’ve seen from a Leicester player years. To have him and Vardy as options in the Championship is insane. 

[tom27111]

Kelechi and Vardy both to hit 20 this season?

[Guest nathan.]

Hes been average for the last 10 games.

 

Today he was very good. 

[coolhandfox]

Interesting that Nacho and Vardy both found goals hard to come by at the start of the season.

 

Vardy failed to score in the first 5 league games, Nacho in the first 6.

 

Since Vardy's first goal he has 4 in 6 and Nacho has 4 in 5. 

 

Wonder if it's confidence or just them and the team coming to term with the system.

Interesting. 

 

Maybe the team finding the way and working with what Enzo wants?

 

He's obviously come from Man City where Haaland is a beast and dominates scoring. 

 

But Haaland didn't score in a lot of the big games, although he did the donkey work for others.

 

Maybe I'm thinking too much about Man City.

You mean THIS turn and through ball?

 

 

Nacho has definitely found his form in the last few games, and has been playing great.

Still gets moaned about constantly but still has 5 goals and joint top scorer. Was very good today especially 2nd half

[Vindaloo FOX]

He will get more goals than Vardy this season

It was interesting how many people had written both of these off in the first few games. Now they’re being managed well and they both look confident, happy and ELECTRIC. 

[whoareyaaa]

@LinekersLugs how you feeling?

It's going to be a interesting shoot out.

 

Nacho has the disadvantage of Afcon.

Would love to see them playing up front together in this league …they would get loads obviously not happening with Meresca’s formation doing so well any way
