Kelechi Iheanacho

But Nacho should have given it away?

Again, he made a mistake, like all young players. I would expect the more experienced ones such as Otemendi not to make errors such as diving in(not limited to the goal or this game)

Lawd??? Come off it there was plenty of time to deal with this, it should have been delt with, instead Ota lunged in again and went to ground again! One misplaced pass and he's woeful?

His pass completion was 70% today, which is well below the standards he needs to achieve to propser under Pep. He had six shots and four missed the target, badly by my reckoning and in some cases he may have been better passing but I have not seen any video replays so I have to go with just what I saw at the game. Maybe it won't look so bad when I get to watch a recording of the game.

Most of the time it's our centre backs giving the ball away or roaming off the defensive line when there's simply no need to put us in danger like that.

Yes. And I blame them for giving it away. I don't jump forward to blame the attacking player who may or may not have been open.

I don't even know what point you are trying to make or why you think anyone is doing that.

His biggest issue today was having to play alongside Kun who was interested in only himself and his quest for the golden boot.

I'm actually getting pissed off with Kun, as magnificent as he can be and his selfish play.

Early in the game Kelechi didn't play him in and boy did Kun let him know and it clearly affected the lad imo.

Yes you should defo watch it again especially his interchanging with De Bruyne and Aguero some very promising passages of play with him in the thick of it... made some mistakes sure enough(nobodies saying he was brilliant today) but far from "woeful" got our only goal was involved in most of our best chances I think that says it all.

 

[sir baconface]

Looked scared today, as if intimidated off his game.

Yes, I could forgive his error because he is young. But this doesn't make the error any less his, and anymore someone else's. It's still his error, even if it is understandable. Ota slid in to attempt a tackle. He failed, bit the error of continuing to put us under pressure was Kelechi's

Ok.

some of the comments on this thread are shocking and depressing. getting on a a 19 year old who has frankly smashed it this season and criticising him because he has made the odd mistake therefore suggesting we should loan him out or just not place faith in him. hes been awesome this season and exceeded all expectations from this time 12 months ago. his sccoring record is incredible for such a young lad an the quality of his finishes is that of a natural born goal scorer.

fucking glad some of you lot dont pick the team.
