Managing Iheanacho

[Silva Citizen]

I think we all agree the lad done well today.

His confidence and enthusiasm must be sky high after that, but bearing in mind the run of games following Sunderland, if you were Pellers would you give him the nod to start at Sunderland, and rest Aguero for Leicester, or would you bench him to keep his feet on the ground ?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Half a game each. Start with Kelechi and then bring Aguero on for the second half, to get him warmed up for Leicester! Nowt to this managing lark. 'Tis a breeze.

 

[MC ID]

Hes clearly a special talent and he will inevitably end up getting more minutes as the season progresses, hopefully overtaking Bony as the number 2.

However he's going to have a really shit run of form at some point, because every player in the world does, and I'm hoping certain shitehawks realise we should get behind him and not destroy the kids confidence and wreck a potentially brilliant player as is normally the case for a young player in the Premier league.

I'm glad Zabba stepped in after yet another argument between our lads about who should take the penalty. These arguments are the sign of confident players.

 

[mad zab]

Kun and David will return for the Sunderland game. Kelechi should be the go to man after Kun.

No, they're a sign that they aren't listening to the manager. I'd like to think that a penalty taker is nominated before the game, if not then the manager needs a kick up his arse. I personally see it as unprofessional, but that's my view.

I heard on the BBC that Pellegrini sent a message on for Ian to take it.

I can go with that!

 

[tiggsywiggsywoo]

Kel is in a good position now. If MP played him in high pressure games ie PL he would have been under pressure. Now he as his hat trick is confidence will be high therefore making it easier to handle tougher games. Bony as done his job by taking that pressure over the last three months or so. MP and Kel owe him.

Or... Play them together? They've already shown they are capable of it at Norwich and West Ham.

 

[KingCarlito]

I'd rather rest Silva for Leicester and play both Iheanacho and Aguero at Sunderland. With the balance of Navas and Sterling on the wings.

I'd have him as the #2 ahead of Bony in all circumstances starting now.

This, you pick your team with Sergio, if you have a comfortable lead you swap him like for like, if your losing you put him on with Sergio, he deserves more minutes based on form, if his form dips you reassess, football isn't complicated unless the manager feels the need to pick players on price tag or reputation

 

[trevorriley]

Pep will make him an even better player... this guy going to be very good

 

[buckshot]

Why not start them both and go 4-4-2?

 

[Itsaar]

I would play both in the two games, get a lead then look at subbing Aguero. Play Navas and Sterling on the wings, perm any two from Nando, Dino, Delph for middle. Bring on Yaya if not goin well/or to rest players. Sagna as CB with Otto. Job done.

This should be more productive than Aguero and The Beast together.

I really don't see this happening, as Kelechi has been getting more game time, people like myself have stayed tight lipped and enjoyed what potential he has. I think the problem was many of us were seeing the potential, and he wasn't getting enough game time to fulfill that potential, now he is getting that game time we are starting to see him blossom.

Best youngster I've seen since Lewandowski at Lech.

Keep it going Nacho.

Leaves you short in midfield against a lot of sides who only play with one man upfront. Midfield is the key area on the pitch; control that area and you will probably win the game, shite defending notwithstanding!

Against most sides I would agree but we are talking Sunderland here.
