Kelechi Iheanacho - 2016/17 Performances

[Bill Walker]

I was really impressed by his short cameo yesterday. He possesses a footballing brain along with power . For such a young age, he's light years ahead of so many. He looked so strong in the build up to the 3rd and then the awareness to go around Given and then look up for the wide open Nolito. And that dummy on the 4th. He knew exactly what he was doing. Very impressive and will only improve under Pep. Exciting player.

Yep I agree, I was enormously inpressed like you but also with his coolness,no panic at all, what a prospect, and Pep seems to like him so he should get plenty of chances.

I think I will invest a couple of quid on him getting 2 or more goals on Wednesday night.

Going in my sun dream team Wed night also have a feeling he'll back a couple.

I know it's a big call, but this kid is seriously good.
If he does a 'Charlton' with his left peg, he could become one of the best players in the world in 4 years time. He was sensational yesterday with his sub cameo.

I haven't seen the goals again, but I did actually wonder if two things were intentional.

For the 3rd goal, was that layoff for Silva intentional or a heavy poke past the stoke player he was trying to beat?

Also, I couldn't make out whether that was a dummy or did he just miss the pass?

If he did both things on purpose, I'm impressed.

IIRC we first noticed him in pre season last year when he was definitely playing behind the strikers and looked like a real gem there.

Amazing as it may seem it was 3 pre-seasons ago in the USA, scored in 2 of the games as a trialist, and then trained over there for a while.

KELECHI: (Pep) has brought his own style. It’s going to look easy on the pitch when you have lots of players to pass to. #mcfc
KELECHI: @aguerosergiokun is a great striker and I’m learning from him. It’s not pressure, it’s a dream come true.

Hope he gets a start tomorrow. Has never let us down.

 

[ono]

Has anybody heard anything? Worried about him after the way he went down.

 

[BlueMedic]

Looked bad.

Any updates

If he's out for a bit surely were in for a CF

Unless we're happy with Sane, Nolito or De Bruyne up front
