Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

[FlemishDuck]

Why does he only get like 3 minutes a game? like, Why? He's not put a foot wrong...and right now, Bony isn't looking the sharpest (and if you go through my previous posts I never stop defending Bony) so, why isn't he getting a little more trust to go out and have a go?!

Because Bony's profile was more fitting to the issue at hand than Iheanacho. Iheanacho aint no target man or hanging striker, aka he's not the kind of player like bony who's main quality's are such things like strenght and Aerial abbilety, and the issue was that Leicester was being rather hard and numerous in the box and that this asks more for a brute force type of player than a more flairy and lighter type of player like Aguero or Iheanacho. Icheanacho like Aguero is more the type of a deep striker/finisher, players who's quality is more along the lines of speed, maneuverabbilety, dribbling and technique. These same quality's ment that Iheanacho could also be used as a winger which is how Pellers used him today with the consideration afcourse that he is not a superb crosser and thus should act more like an inside going winger.

Point is, if the defense is a hard one to break, conventional wisdom would tell a manager to put some beast in, heck in the odd occasion some would even put a CB there for that reason because they tend to have the strenght and aerial abbilety. Bony is our only targetman i presume. Iheanacho i presume is more a replacement for Aguero shoudl ageuro fall out and the situation is more to the likes of such a player, with other words more room and more intent to exploit fast counters, but then i guess Iheanacho will only see limited playtime when Ageurro is fully fit. He's still only 19 years old though and i bet he gets a nice salary here so if i were him i'd consider being somewhat patient.

If youre unhappy with Bony, get a better beast type. As a belgian i'd suggest Lukaku for this kind of work, wouldn't be surprized if half the forum would be ok with that one.

Four minutes.

He should be given more game time, but in this game his quality's were les likely to pay off. We lack somewhat on the aerial and strenght department at front and Iheanacho is not a targetman type of player neither. you need to play Iheanacho in the type of game situations where Ageuro would thrive on too.

This is far too sensible.

Whilst I don't think he's as good as most on here do, I'd certainly have him ahead of Bony at the moment.

Id rather see someone run the channels and work a bit. Hell, even a bit of enthusiasm would not go a miss.

It doesn't help when the opposition's CB's can just push you down withought fearing to get a penalty for it. No surprise that Pellers subbed in Bony when they had floored Ageuro withought punishment for it. If i would have been Pellers i'd send Bony in there saying get in the thick of that and don't feel to sorry if you accidently crush someone's ballsack.

But he wouldn't be told to 'run the channels' he'd be told to play amongst 5 defenders with his back to goal, like Bony.
That's exactly where Pozo played & Kelechi when he started ( & struggled).

Now youre doing it too, being sensible and all that...

Channels? I guess running the lenght of the Manchester ship canal woudl be a solid training. If there was room it would have been more at the flanks i fugure and thats where iheanacho was set today.

An alternative perhaps would have been to put Yaya there instead of Bony. I'd try that sort of stuff.

Bony will love that instruction then :)
