Kelechi Iheanacho

He is a goal scorer no more no less in my opinion! He's young so still has plenty of time to improve but I can honestly say his all round game hasn't impressed much so far! Even against Southampton when he scored both his hold up play and slack passing was there for all too see, he was just lucky the majority of the rest of the players were total wank!

He seems to have a great attitude, And a clear eye for goal! The future is bright for him but other areas of his game need some vast improvement!
 
He's scored 5 in the 4 he has started

5 games.

He was good in 2 of them, the 2 opponents it makes sense to start him against.

Maybe he would have done better vs Real, Arse and today had he got more minutes throughout the season off the bench.
 
Yes, at 19 Messi has been playing in the Barça first team for two years and scored 17 goals that season; at 19 CRonaldo played 40 games for United; at 19 Kun had been at Atléti for two years and scored 27 goals that season.

Kun scored 27 goals, but he played 3741 minutes.
Kelechi scored more than half that (14 goals), was younger by 4 months and played only 1198 minutes (32% of what Aguero played).
Yes, obviously their seasons have been comparable. Kelechi had a few poor games, a few exceptional games, a few good games. Very raw, but he has had several games where he was obviously the best player on our team.

And overall Kelechi has had more of an impact lately than Kun, who seems to have tailed off by the end of the season.

BTW: If you watch all the games with Iheanacho, he just doesn't work well with Aguero. He looks much better when Aguero isn't playing. Basically two quite similar players and Aguero seems to not like playing with Kelechi (stealing his thunder?).
 
He looks better on instinct to me, when he's had a bit of time to think his decision making has let him down a bit. Still a young lad though and that will come. One of the few positives to take from this season.
 
He has world class potential and those suddenly expressing doubt need to think carefully about what we have here.

His first games in the first team have yielded one of the world's best goals per minute records. In a team not in great form and with sporadic appearances, he has done brilliantly.
 
Yep he could have had more with better composure and touch.

What I liked about him is that he never let his head go down and I would have liked Aguero or someone to pick him up, encourage him etc.

With an arm around him from Pep he will only get better.
 
At least his showings in the last 2 games means his agent might keep his gob shut for a bit...£150,000pw...yeah, right. Keep your head down young lad, work harder and don't even start thinking you are anywhere near being the finished article. Pep will sort things out
