You can't look at his appearance today for any insight. He was thrown on for the last few minutes when we had no attacking structure and they had 10 men back defending. There was no space or time for anyone to do anything, and no time to get into the game.

Not having a go, rate him very highly but today he needlessly gave the ball away. He wasn't at his best and did nothing to swing the game back in our favour. Think he has huge potential but wasn't at the races today.You can't look at his appearance today for any insight.

He was rusty today, he's had hardly any game time recently, that's why he should get at least 45 mins on Tuesday to get some match fitness for Leicester.Not having a go, rate him very highly but today he needlessly gave the ball away.

His first touch is always awful.
Can't believe he's our number 2 striker couldn't trap a bag of sand

First appearance in how long?
Miles away from the required standard in his overall game. I'm not too sure he will ever get there and soon to be 3rd choice.
He will get there if he puts the time in. If you base it off of this performance he hasn't had a lot of game time. Without that he isn't going to get up to standard or fix the problems in his game.
It's funny because people expect the world from a young player and don't understand that it takes time to get to level. Not everyone picks up at the same time, and for what Nacho has done so far he's getting there.

Would love to see him really step up in the absence of Aguero and give Pep a selection headache for the scouse game.

Looked like some bloke had been pulled out of the stand to come on as a sub yesterday. He was fucking awful!
The fight really started when Chalobah pushed Aguero and Iheanacho looked absolutely livid. I don't condemn violence and I don't enjoy watching fights, but I think I like that Iheanacho was so angry on behalf of his teammate and wanted to stick up for him. Is that unfair of me?
I said some things about his performance in frustration last night but the truth is that he is usually quite good as an all-round player, especially for a 20-year-old striker. And as a goalscorer he's incredible. Now he needs to step up in Aguero's absence for the Hull, Watford, Leicester and Arsenal games. Three goals from those four would be a great return.

He's a clinical finisher but he lacks technical ability.

The same can be said about players like Thomas Muller but it didn't stop him from being one of the best in his position. The point is that if Pep (or any coach for that matter) wants to use him, they have to play him to his strengths and help him get up to speed in what he is deficient on. Not playing him and benching him a whole season isn't going to make him better. The 10 minutes he got in the Chelsea game shows that as he didn't play for an entire month.

He has a whole lot of technical ability. His long shots, passing range, dead ball prowess and so on proves that. He's not an adept dribbler and needs to work on his first touch, but he has loads of technical ability. He's just not an all-rounder here.

Bingo. Some people think you have to do a million dribbles to be considered a good player or have technical ability. 11 goals in 17 shots on target shows his technical ability.

Exactly. You think he'll be able to hold his own in the 433? Not so sure that's suited for him ATM.

I enjoyed that aswell,
In some way I was pleased to see some aggression from the boys, often at times last season we would just roll over. At least we have some fighting spirit.

I enjoyed it as well. It'd be fun to see us embrace the 'bad boys' role and start playing with some bite. I think the 'us against the world mentality' would do us a lot of good from a results stand point.
