I HAVE GOT ONLY ONE QUESTION TO ALL YOU NAYSAYERS:

Did y'all see what Kelechi did today? Like I have said over and over and over again, you CANNOT SCORE IF YOU DON'T PLAY. Give the young man a chance and he would show you what he can do. And I will say it again: Kelechi is simply too good to stay on Leicester City bench. If you don't understand that then you don't understand football!

He might have gotten the 3rd goal if they were not subbed off. Just wen Leicester was beginning to cause serious attacking threat on them, they subbed both him and mahrez.


He actually scored 3.... one was disallowed for out of touch

EPIC Comment!

Bro. you are mouthed o jare! cheesy

Iheanacho is just showing why I know he will make that WC squad even with as little playing time between now and May.

CLASS is just too permanent in Kelechi's case plus he has been obviously working on himself away from prying eyes.




Nacho's free kick against Argentina and his deadly crosses was a testament of his dedication to improve. I hope he keeps the fire on that training pitch burning.

Slimani - Iheanacho, looks a deadlier combination. I hope Puel can five Slimani and Nacho a fair run of games as Okazaki and Vardy have enjoyed.

Slimani is likely to leave, as well as Ulloa and Musa, thus we should be envisaging Verdy - Iheanacho Combo.

I think i totally agree with you on that. Iheanacho, Mahrez and Slimani played with a high level of intelligence. Teamwork pays. Stamp out sole stardom in a team and you will have good returns

I will never run Kelechi down because I really love the guy, NO HOMO same with Iwobi. He is very cool and quite jovial. However, it was obvious he was struggling to impose himself on games and he needed a wake up call, and boy did he get it..lol. I want to see him grow in confidence and score a freaking hattrick against MAN CITY. Yes, I want a pure undiluted revenge against MAN CITY.

English media and FA won't allow Puel to use this combos which leaves out their Vardy even if he doesn't score for ages.

Instead of the yeye coach to be using 2 different attack duo/trip every match, e go sit there dey play with strikers that on and off.


Use ur verdy-okazaki-mahrez in the first half, pull them out in the second half except Mahrez, then introduce Slimani-iheanacho!

Use the last sub for either midfield or defender if need be!

Iheanacho has always been a talent. He just beeds to be more involved in games. If he can do what he did today on a consistent basis, City may request for him to come back. Without Vardy today, Liecester played intelligently, slow build up, no long balls to find the speedy Vardy. They played to Iheanacho's style. Andre Silva was very key to that play. But funny thing is that this coach would still play Vardy and Okazaki no matter what happens.

Another Ela!

Former England youth international Jordon Ibe has turned down a fresh approach by Nigeria to represent them at the World Cup 2018 in Russia.

Ibe has been in fine form for English Premier League side Bournemouth, and according to the online version of English based news outfit Sun, he has turned down an approach to team up with Nigeria for the World Cup in Russia.

Eligible to represent Nigeria through his father, Ibe who has six assists in all competitions this season grabbed the headlines on Sunday, when he netted the winner for Bournemouth in their shock comeback 2-1 win over Arsenal.

22 year old Ibe believes he stand a chance of playing for England, as present coach of the senior national team of England Gareth Southgate picked him regularly during his stints as U21 coach of England.

According to the Sun, the former England youth international will prefer to wait for his time with England than jump at the chance of representing Nigeria at the World Cup.

This is the second time in 18 months , that Ibe has turned down the chance to represent Nigeria at senior level, as he did same when he was first approached by former coach Sunday Oliseh while at Liverpool.

Yes Sir GoodJoe. He is improving at quite a dangerous pace without playing time. His drills time is truly paying off and I mist give kudos for your staunch belief in the theory that states,

"Playing time is not everything and not the ultimate marker for a player's development and growth. The training pitch, the drills and the time spent in practice away from match day action also contributes big time to a player's massive development into topclass acts...."

Kelechi has so far proven your theory true and effective... With really stern efforts on his side no doubt.
I believe he will keep up The fire in training Sir GoodJoe.... I believe he will keep the fire burning bright.

God sees my heart. The moment I saw the team list and I saw Iheacho as the striker behind Slimani, I knew he was gonna score. Ten minutes into the match, i saw his deft touches and I alerted yall. Only for Mr Mickael2 to start the usual. Well patience does pay. Thats all i can say. Even if he never scored in today's game, he has shown some measure of improvement. He just needs to work harder @ pressing and work rate.


I am sure he had a better performance against Leeds, this is Fleetwood, non-division side!!! Against Leeds he was good, then he went below again, I am not dancing at all

I assure you bro, Iheanacho have never been struggling. He was never given the chance to prove himself. Dude have an insatiable hunger for goals and truthfully that is the reason why I love him.

It's just unfortunate that he isn't been utilize fully under the coaches he has found himself, walahi, if with the right coach who understand his abilities, he will be world class in no time.

I mean from the few cameos his had, his goal ratio far supercedes other strikers in the same condition as him.
