Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

The headlines should be about Kelechi - but they won't - they'll be about Martian, Marshall, Marzipan...fuck knows...whatsisname.

Took our lad only a few minutes to show his class!

Lineker, Shearer and Wright talk about Iheanacho on MOTD. The analysis of the body positions really interests me -- I would have never noticed that live -- and just look at how he anticipates the rebound. Impressive. Hopefully he gets more time on the pitch in coming weeks.

It looked a nailed on penalty from where I was stood but maybe someone who watched a stream could clarify.

Their chance near the end looked a mile offside too. Who played him on?

Lines man played him on.

Honestly, I don't really mind how Pelle has handled Nacho so well. Giving him spot minutes here and there to get his feet wet. He was put in a position to succeed today and he came through. It's a long season and Nacho will undoubtedly get more playing time as the season progresses. Getting the match winner should definitely earn him some more playing time. He's a top level prospect, in my opinion.

Thanks for posting that.

It was my Mum's birthday yesterday (she posts on here as zabadabablue) and Kelechi gave her his shirt at the end of the game. I'd post a couple of pics but have no idea how to upload!!!

He should get nod over Bony for the West Ham game if Kun isn't fit to play.

Bony is a completely different kind of player & Kelechi is nowhere near as good as him in a traditional cf type role. It depends on whether Pellegrini wants someone to lay the ball off (as Bony did fantastically well v Palace) or someone to roam around & run in behind but not necessarily keep the ball.

I would start Bony, especially if DeBruyne is playing & bring on Kelechi later. I don't think it should even be a consideration tbh.

Ha, Niall Quinn just called him an academy player.
