Kelechi Iheanacho - 2016/17 Performances

[capiloton]

today he did again. put aside his goal and assist.
but his clever run creating a space for Gundogan goal is catching my eyes.

 

[jon stakes]

3 goals & 3 assists in 178mins of football(less than 2 games)


No Nolito shouldn't play upfront instead of him in any game and Jesus isn't going to come in and go straight ahead of him

243 minutes if we count the CL qualifying game. Still imperious.

Brilliant today. De Bruyne was clearly MOM but he and Sterling were great.

Well done Kelechi. You have been given the opportunity and you have well and truly taken it. Proving to be a very good player indeed.

Yes that was a really intelligent run to drag a defender away.

Shame he didn't finish off the first chance. He's getting too much of a fame as a tap in king :)

3 goals, 3 assists... Barely 200 minutes of football.

BTW Someone stated he's apparently nowhere near as good as Aguero, yet his striking rate is better. He may not have the flashy dribble, but his effectiveness is unparalleled.

He can tap them in for the rest of his career as long as he does it as regularly as he has been doing. You can't teach what Kelechi does. He doesn't need to be the world's best dribbler when he can finish like he can.
Look how much we've paid for young talent over the last 2 summers. How much would we have to pay if we had to buy him in? At least £50 mill in IMO, probably more.

Iheanacho is a goal machine , he is a greedy sod at times , but top strikers always will be , he will get his fair share of games and goals this season , can't believe he is only 19 and still developing , to think MP started Bony ahead of this kid last season . Would like to think Pep will make him a truly world class striker and a natural successor to Kun when he quits and returns home in a few years time.

Wouldn't say he's greedy at all.

He makes the correct decisions to square the ball, like Stoke and today for example.

Needs to work a little on his first touch, just a little, but other than that he's a cracker.

 

[MCFC1993]

19 years old and leads the line brilliant. Great adjustment of his body for the goal and great awareness to pick out Sterling for his goal. This kid is clinical.

better all around play from him today.

we know he is clinical in front of goal which has never been in doubt but there are areas of his game (his link up play and movement off the ball/leading the line) which need developing - there were big signs of that today.
Occasionally his first touch is heavy but that will come with consistent playing time
