Leicester fans are complaining about Nacho's performance...the same "poor ball control" mantra.
@TomHolland93

Iheanacho’s poor control leads to a foul for West Brom’s equaliser. Iheanacho makes 2 stupid challenges & Stoke could’ve scored� #liability

Good list especially for giving home based chance but Omeruo, Agbo,Alampasu missing,any reason.

Omeruo took a dip in form. Alampasu and Agbo were oversight.

Yes just a tap in. For me i think Nacho has a poor judgement of placement and positioning. Well getting more game time will help him. Musa wasnt even on the bench!

Not exactly but they should follow a rational set of parameters to indicate quality and outstanding ability.

There's no earthly reason why Kelechi Iheanacho should not be getting playing time on this mediocre Leicester team.

I think he should seek a January transfer right away. Get out of the EPL pronto. Go show his skills in La Liga or Ligue 1

Finish. If he's a dead wood, we remove him and move to the next man. In fact it would be good for the technical crew to always make room for such out of the way invitations as in inviting just one player outside our expectations. Who knows what they will unearth.

When players are invited from lower league and teams it's a reflection of outstanding performance not speculatively playing lottery.

The SE is not for speculation but for outstanding quality players.

just give me 2 players that are better than him at DM and i will discuss with u.

Playing any role in third from bottom club in a moi moi back water league already totally disqualifies you.

However, if while in that league you are the indisputable stand out player then yes there is a small possibility.

Because defending against players in a league rated 30 in Europe and defending against forward player in La Liga, Bundesliga, French League 1 and or any top 5 rated league in Europe. Can not by any stretch of the imagination be the same thing and is certainly not the same thing.

Defending against Lukaku, Neymar, Ronaldo, Lewandoski etc is not the same the same as the unknown enriks in that league.

But how do you know that his time would ever come? Are you aware of the number of players who killed their careers simply by moving to the wrong football club? Most recently names like Wilfried Bony and Sadio Berhino would come to mind. Abeg, Kelechi is too good a player to stay on the bench in a club like Leicester.

Once he becomes a Leicester City bench warmer, it would be very difficult for him to get a contract at a decent football club.

I wouldn't mind a loan move either. But for him to become a bench warmer at a football like Leicester is unacceptable. He's too good a player for that. I am not a big believer in learning by sitting on the bench especially when you're more than good enough to start.

And by the way, I think he can start for a club side like Valencia or even Seville. Kelechi Iheanacho is a top player, folks! Let's not forget that. It's one thing to be benched by world class talents like Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, but sitting on the bench for the likes of Okazaki is unacceptable.


O pari

safarigirl:
is this how he will be leaving every team that doesn't play him?

Do you think he would have a starting shirt in Valencia easily?

See ehn, I like Kelechi well well, but thia idea of him jumping ship every time things get tough is a terrible one. You cannot learn if you keep jumping ship like that.

The best thing you guys can ask is that Leicester loan him out in January, not an outright sale. A loan move is the best he can and should get and even that seems like a cowardly move to be honest.

We need to stop pushing him to leave every club, it's an unhealthy behavior. Leave am, make e dey there. He chose Leicester, let him deal with his choices like an adult

Puel is a good coach but I am not sure if the Leicester big boys (Vardy, Mahrez, Wes Morgan etc) would let Kelechi play if he's not in the clique.

Give Puel time. He wants to prove himself and will find the right balance. Albrighton in for Gray. Albrighton will give his all in these last minutes.

Swansea 0-1 Brighton (56 minutes played)
52' Tammy Abraham (Swansea) receives a slide-rule pass inside the box and has just the keeper to beat. His shot low towards the middle of the goal lacks power and Mathew Ryan easily makes the save. The linesman makes the right call and Swansea will have a corner.

You know the EPL can be a leveller.

I said donkeys ago the true test for KC as a striker will be when he leaves City. Where he was surrounded by world class international players. These are players that will make you good and even better than you actually are.

The true test is now. How well can he adapt in a very hard working team. Now there is a new manager there can be no excuses.

Otherwise his value will plummet.

If Ndidi can step up why not KC.

Okazaki is one of the most skillful and hardworking player in that team...
since the start of the season....he has been in top form...
so no one expect nacho to displace him just like that....
I believe nacho progression in the club is on a steady part...he played over 30 mins today ..with a good assist to vardy. ..I believe the English man was in a good position to convert only poor decisons cost him that goal....

so presently nacho is doing fine...

I have seen some of your comments aim at digging deep at the young man....
even mocking him a bench warmer...

good for you though...just your opinion and it holds no water...anyway

and so....the young man is not doing badly please let's cut him some slack...

no one could point to vardy poor decision making today....but nacho is singled out for criticism...

No clique here, Leicester is an unpretentious club and down to earth. Is it not the forgotten Demeri Grey that is now being celebrated.

You are making excuses for him.

Never played first team.

Not too long ago actually earlier this year about February. It was made intrinsically clear to that he didn’t want to play for England.

I have heard talk that he does now.

Which may not be surprising he wants to go to the World cup and he is a forgotten man as far as England is concerned.

Since we talking Norway moi moi league.

What about 21 year old Samuel Adegbenro in one of the two stand out quality teams in that league. Plays for Rosenburg FC as winger 13 games this season in all competitions and 5 goals.

I wonder why the esteemed scouting crew of the NFF never noticed him. But somehow went to the bottom third to club and said Aha !!! Real quality.

Adegbenro Samuel is not a Defensive Midfieder...
I asked for a Defensive Midfieder...
if you look at Nigeria eligible players in Europe...
they're enough wingers...even strikers.....ahead of Samuel....
though I agree he may be on the coach watch list....even Paul is...

but a Defensive Midfieder I guess you've none..?
