Tbf this forum by and large have been saying he's not had enough minutes and that he's been ignored for Bony so not surprising there's an article saying similar.
It doesn't make it true mind, just a conclusion reached without anybody knowing the reasons his game time has been limited.

Just to reiterate: The article more focuses on Kelechi celebrating by his lonesome and on not being passed the ball as often as other players. I agree to the extent that I felt KDB, Sterling and Aguero often hogged the ball vs Real instead of passing to a well positioned Kelechi.

You know the rules, belittle Kalechi and total hysteria over Rashford.
Can't have the lads appearance in a CL semi overshadowing wonder kid.

I'm guessing Zabaleta taking the ball off Sterling and giving it Iheanacho wasn't mentioned?
Or that it's quite hard to pray with people jumping on you. He celebrates just fine when others score. Much the same as Mario.

I thought the reason for his solo/personal celebration had been clarified? his colleagues simply respecting it.

Can we nip this shit in the bud please?

Fucking Thierry Henry and his bullshit, cheating French twat.

Looks like Navas threw him in the air!

Looks like Navas threw him in the air!

And he didn't hit the first man either..

I don't know if you've read the article as it actually rubbish the claims about ignoring his celebrations noting that most of his goals were not the winners and that players don't tend to celebrate 3_0 or 4:0 goals like winners, first goals etc.

It also claims that is logical that in tense tie like the one against Madrid, players tend to pick more trustful options of senior players and that Nacho was pretty lost in that game which I agree, it was too big occasion for him.

Seems to me that hardly anyone commenting actually bothered to read the article.

Basically it concludes that he wasn't ignored, just understandably struggled to make an impact & that it was a bit of a strange decision to bring him on as a replacement for Silva anyway.
