I cannot believe you guys a are arguing about a ten minute cameo. What the hell is "he was signed for blah blah million and is expected to hit the ground running..." What of Morata that was signed for 70 million and lost a penalty in an important game? So, Chelsea fans should kill him?

Kelechi no even lose penalty, he was subbed in wrongly and I doubt he scored an own goal, so, what are you all arguing about?

Craig Shakespeare was subbing in a striker when Leicester needed defenders and shiiit went wrong, so, Kelechi should have right the wrongs ni?

Like Joebie said, it is much too early to be making comments on Kelechi, irrespective of what thegoodjoe said, so oga icon4s, I do not expect you to take goodjoe's bait, komekn, I can wholly understand though. Na so he dey do, bait or no bait.

However, if we are to discuss a player's performance, I believe Tammy Abraham, who played Swansea's full 90 minutes should be discussed....that is if any of you watched the game

I look forward to this season's EPL, so far, I love how the big clubs are struggling against the minnows. The season could have a surprise winner

My problem is the system as a whole and how Iheanacho can make a massive impact under such system. It is not a judgement of Iheanacho's performance.

I think Shakespeare bought Nacho more for his counterattacking runs he made last season in the few games he played under City but those runs were made with tidy build-up passes.

The long ball approach is not a route I feel will suit Nacho but he is just joining the side. I will make an updated verdict after watching more games.

My sister. how I wish our own NPFL can be like this. What I like about the EPL is that clubs don't respect big name oh. Or whether you are playing home or away. If you no sit tight for 90 minutes one small boy go come punish you well well. Arsenal escaped. Liverpool had to fight till the end but had to settle for a point despite leading by two goals. Chelsea we already know. Need I mention newbies Huddersfield? This is fun!!!

Hurray City!

Let the fun continue.

My brother cool down. Even coaches learn. What is most important to him is that they get it right, whether with Iheanacho on the bench or not.
The team won't revolve around Iheanacho, trust me. It's just one away game gone. No cause for alarm.

Auntie, nobody is arguing about Iheanacho's 10 or 15 minutes action.

We are just looking at Iheanacho's chances of really making a major impact I'm the EPL this season with Leicester.

Neither TheGoodJoe, Komekn nor I mentioned anything about his last game.

The team does not revolve around Iheanacho but my interest in Leicester City doing well lies with Iheanacho and Ndidi in the side.

If Leicester City wants to get it right, they need to find a way to get Iheanacho creating and scoring goals. It is as simple as that.

Their attack came from sitting deep with most of their players behind the ball and attacking by hitting the ball long to Vardy. They can create multiple chances with the system but creative players suffer because of lack of support around them. It takes exceptional brilliance on the ball to make something off it.

As I said, maybe playing Arsenal is what made it look so awful.

Are you suggesting iheanacho doesn't have such "exceptional brilliance"?

Note. I said exceptional brilliance on the ball. Iheanacho is not the kind of player that relies on on the ball movements to create havoc. Most of his damage to the opposition comes from his off the ball movement.

My brother I share your sentiments. But let's be realistic. There is a bigger figure in that club -- Vardy.

I think they -- Leicester -- played gallantly yesterday, until the last quarter. The substitution was too risky. You are playing Arsenal away and ahead. It's the season opener. There was so much at stake for Arsenal. It's common sense to be more defensive for the last 10 minutes and rely on counter attacks. That's as simple as ABC. Iheanacho had no business in that game. But Shakespeare has already admitted his mistake.

I felt fresh legs was the best option. Bringing in Amartey was okay. Making a three man midfield with Amartey, Ndidi and James. At that point Arsenal found it difficult breaking them down.

If Nacho must come on, Vardy was the person to go out. If the coach was not willing to drop Vardy then he should have moved Nacho's debut to another came.

Pulling out James was the finisher and Leicester City paid for it.

Could be the reason behind the disconnect between the midfield and Iheanacho against SA?

He ran into offside positions on several occasions due to his "off the ball movements".

Why would the wife use photoshop It is not photoshop. On friday, Austria Wien director said that a deal was close. It was concluded on friday. Teams do not always announce immediately. It took a few day for leicester to officially announce Kelechi. And Kayode is not a big name.

I am sure, there would be an official announcement next week. But his wife has confirmed it.

When you get a player who is very brilliant off the ball and also energetic, with the right midfield set-up, you can destroy lots of teams. What we lacked in the game against South Africa was the right passes to take advantage of Nacho's brilliant off the ball movement.

And guess who was in goal. No, who was in bench as Feirense's reserve keeper? Your guess is good as mine -- promotion.

Over to the Super Lig

Kasimpasa is leading 3-1 away to Alanyaspor.

Sam Eduok rewarded the visitors after he was subbed in, on the 60th minute. He scored Kasimpasa's third on the 85th, and picked up a yellow card thereafter. The game will soon over as they are just a minute or two away from regulation time.
