Player Topic: Kelechi Iheanacho (2015/16)

With his confidence sky high and with world class players playing behind him surely a start against Norwich at home wouldn't be too much to ask?

With Sevilla game coming up though where Nacho isn't eligible, I dont think he'll drop Bony as he'll want to build his confidence. I reckon we'll play the same formation with Mangala/Demichelis swapped for Kompany / Otamendi.

Watched him closely last night and was particularly impressed with his desire and the maturity he showed, that assist to debruyne showed great vision and maturity, many players would have gone for a shot in that position and you would not blame them if they missed, but for a kid who is looking to make his mark, to pick out a pass in that situation showed he belongs to this level.

Along with his first touch passing, his movement was excellent to throughout the game, a bit like aguero and that's where he has edge over bony, should start against norwich

I think he should a start against Notwich because he can't play against Sevilla and Kun isn't back until Liverpool so it might be a good time to give Bony a game out as he'll certainly play against Sevilla and Villa.

So excited about this kid. However not as simple as some are saying to drop Bony who is a much better hold up player and allows us to get out of defence better than Kelechi would on his own. Bony's problems begin when he turns to face the defence!

About time he got a start and what a start it was this kid has it all a good footballing brain his vision and awareness and hunger last night said it all, superlatives aside very excited about this kid..
Nacho Nacho man..

I think he will start on Saturday, be interesting to see if he can hit the same consistency as last night. Will be another member of the squad who can start to push Navas, Sterling, De Bruyne and Bony for starting spots if he continues the way he does.

With Sevilla being so important and with Bony our only striker for Europe I would for sure rest Bony on Sat! Give Kelechi a start in the Prem up front !

Getting rave reviews right now on Sky. "A star is born", and all that stuff. Then they look for the negative slant and say "but if I were him I'd get out of there on loan because he'll not get the opportunities." Holloway and Brian McDermott
