Kelechi did have opportunities and with Gabriel Jesus signing in January and Kun's suspensions there were chances to show signs of improvement to the rest of his game (which does need more work). Pep helped to develop one of the best attacking players around so it isn't the case of not wanting to work with world class players

Some methods don't work with everyone and a different coach may be the thing for Nacho. Just because Pep improved Messi doesn't mean he can do that for everyone. Different approaches work wit different players. His opportunities withered away after one bad performance and pretty much killed him after that.

Of course the kid has to have talent to work with (which Kelechi has to some degree) but Pep did have the most impact on Messi's career. Kelechi hasn't shown enough to stake a claim which is unfortunate for the kid.

Never got a proper chance under Pep. Even when we were desparate to convert some chances.

That doesn't reaffirm anything other than its a team that can't develop players and that Pep is a tactically inflexible manager.

Iheanacho is a special talent. The problem with many on this site are that they are short sighted and write people off immediately. Watch him go elsewhere and become that great player. He showed it in the U-17 World Cup, his first season here and even as recent as the first few months of this season. He will improve, all he needs is a coach to believe in him and some game time.

It could also be interesting if he joined hoffenheim while Man City happened to drop out of the top 4. Think about it....

No shortsighted at. He isnt a special talent IMO. A poacher he is, but he has little else to offer. Are you advocating that had we played him more, we would not be in a battle for top 4?.

That's just not true. He's a creator as well and the stats shows it. As an example Aguero has 1 key pass per 90 mins in the PL this season. Iheanacho has 2.3 KP per 90mins. Aguero is dispossesed 2.5 times and has 2.8 unsuccessful touches per 90 mins. Iheanacho 3,6 in both. Iheanacho wins more aerial duels and has two more assists then Sergio despite playing 1700 minutes less. I'm not saying he's better then Sergio but he deserves way more chances than he's been given and he hasn't even been close to as poor as some of you points out. He started the season perfectly and then after a poor performance against United in the League Cup Pep stopped playing him. Awful treatment of a 20 year old player.
