Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

Way too little time to make a judgement yesterday.

I liked the way he put himself about though. A bit like Samaras in his first game ;-)

I thought it was a good substituton putting him on in the Silva position where he would get maximum touches, and he did very well. He should get plenty of chances if Bony is out.

 

[Nigel De Shlong]

He will get plenty of chances this season, sub appearances 15-20 mins at the end of most games. It gives kun a rest while bony is out. Really looking forward to seeing more of him.

In pellegrini's defence I think they got the substitution ready at about 80 minutes but the ball didn't go out for ages.

He was ready at about 84 minutes, so it would have been about three extra minutes.

It wasn't long, but this was at least a start on the kid front. Now, next time he gets on, give him fifteen minutes and see how he handles that. If he does well, give him thirty minutes the next time after that and all of a sudden we'll know exactly where we stand with him. That's all you need to do to slowly integrate a kid. It doesn't require anything drastic, just subtle involvement like that initially. Kelechi definitely has 'it', and we should use him.

Loved the way Nacho stood up for himself with Berhami(I see a few red cards for him in the future) but he is a fantastic talent. I look forward to watching him for years to come.

I loved that little touch where he flicked the ball round the side of the Watford player. Showed great confidence. Not arrogance, just confidence. He looks fine physically for the job too.

Got a feeling that this kid will be one of the few to make it from the current Academy crop. Fingers crossed.

Liked the aggression and the poise from Nacho. Only 3 minutes but he looked like he belonged.

 

[Aytoun]

Was impressed in pre season games & yesterday in cameo looked like we have found one. Initial thoughts looks like a Costa but with talent.
