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.

But Michael2 is on another level...lol. Nigga does not miss a lick...lol


but I lie?

If it's a deserved one, fine, if not the ref gets disciplined!
MetalJigsaw:
so what do you say about the late penalties being awarded to home teams

Saw what the ref in Nantes vs PSG did?

What about what the ref in Westbrom vs Arsenal did?

iffa hear, the haters are just hiding now, probably drafting their 3-page rebuttal on the uselessness of the team he scored against and how he will have to score in the EPL to be taken seriously. They are coming


Meanwhile, more people viewed this thread to rad about Kelechi than those who viewed it when the CHAN team was playing yesterday

I saw shocked when I saw the viewers viewing cos of nacho... That's great love

I don't anybody hates him... They just want the best for him

And there are some set of people they don't like it when you hype players they will automatically dislike such a player and started looking for mistakes in him...


Anyway... I'm happy he scored two brilliant goals today...
Faleye missed almost exact second goal of nacho in yesterday match against Rwanda.

Faleye is talented but still raw..

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.

A toast to drills..... grin #RaiseYourGlasses

Well, before we conclude he is improving lets see at least 5 more matches ... grin grin
Seriously , I want to see more of his first touch in a difficult position and see how he handles them...If he can do that then he has arrived.

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

If true, then good news for the nigerian duo

No, you are just being a little skeptical but dont expect some of these guys to understand. We all agree Kelechi needs to improve and his performance today gave alot of people hope.

bench Ndidi in which future?

Ndidi that is likely to move to a bigger team next season? I bet the only reason Leicester is buying this Silva guy now is to ensure they don't have a similar vacuum when Ndidi leaves as they did when Kante left

somehow:
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!

f that's the case, puel should better damn the Media or FA and use players that are delivering

The same Media and FA will cry foul if he fails on his Job because he stuck to lethargic attackers

Someone wrote Nacho is a tap in master - Nacho scored a brilliant curler from distance.

Another said Nacho can not trap the ball - Nacho scores a beauty after a lovely first touch.

What we the supporters of Iheanacho see while sitting down his haters won't see even when they climb an iroko tree.. Lol grin

I mean check out this guy's stats and compare with any other Nigerian plying their trade in football world over currently, his game time to goal ratio out beats everyone else yet haters will be on his case day in day out.

Nigeria u-17 kelechi was scoring, in Man City Youth reserve team, dude was scoring, IN Man city senior team under Mancini kelechi was scoring, even under Pep's Man city where he had less playing time - he was still scoring, In Leicester under this demon of a coach called Puel, Iheanacho is still scoring.

Even in Super Eagles Iheanacho is firing on all cylinders yet people won't let him rest. Calling for him to be dropped from the world Cup squad.

My question is: if you drop him from the squad who do you replace him with?... Is it this lad at bournemout who has scored just one goal since January 2017 that the NFF is disgracing themselves begging with cap in hand to come play for us?...

Or is he to be replaced with one of these other overgrown, overfeeding and over pampered "init" boys?

Or to be replaced by Kayode that have been firing blanks even when he has seen more playing time?

The truth here is that form is temporary while class is permanent. For many football players in the world, the more time you seat on the bench, the more your confidence drops, the more your performance drop... But as for kelechi Iheanacho, even with more time spent on the bench, he delivers most times when called upon.

To me that is class, to most of us his supporters that is raw undiluted talent. You are only blind if you decide not to see it.

Kelechi Iheanacho (21) vs Fleetwood Town:
49 touches,
37/40 passes,
2/4 shots on target,
2/2 dribbles,
2 key passes,
2 fouls,
2 goals.
This is an improvement if you ask me.

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.

Try not to confuse the ability to score goals and ability to make play work. Iheanachos potential as a goal score has never been in doubt but he must contribute to the play and make it worthwhile . This includes pressing, passes which starts with ball control(the area he struggles with) and finally goal scoring. He should be able to keep his ball decide play.

But like I said, I understand your passion to see him improve. I also have same passion for Nacho. I am just happy that he got his first touch issue sorted which led to a class act goal. At least, you shine teeth small for that one naa abi.... A prelude to many more like it wink
