Kelechi Iheanacho

Going to be a big big player for us in this next phase of games.

Outside of Partick Thistle, he's found the net in every game he's played for us (albeit a couple disallowed).

I fancy him to notch another against Dundee too at the weekend. Can only see his performances getting better and great to see the attitude he's brought to the club. Far removed from this supposed entitled prime donna we were getting.

 

Just a high quality football player. A likeable one brought in by accident

On more on one occasion, you could see him visibly * off with what he was playing with. Not that he was great himself.

 

Aye he wasn't great but he was the only actually trying up top.

Rodgers system seems to completely isolate the Striker. It happened with Kyogo, Idah and now Ihaenacho.

 

Might be more in line to be * off with his own end product. He moves like he is stuck in quicksand. He was gesticulating to players on why they weren't on the end of his crosses or not chasing shots in when he should have his hands up apologizing for some awful efforts. His touch and reaction for the chance the defender blocked from the Tierney was like Sunday league footballer ago had been pulled out of his bed 10 minutes ago.

I don't think he has shown anywhere near enough. It's time for either Kenny or Yamada to show if they can offer anything more.

 

Agreed, plus Iheanacho is too deep or wide far too often.

 

Was the same problem I had with Idah, far too often he was either out side or too deep. Kyogo was the same but it actually worked out to start with as he had the pace and ball control to make it work.

Starting to see it with Iheanacho as well, but neither him or Idah are fast enough to make it work.

 

We know Brendan won't pick Yamada, not matter what. There is quality there, but it is always a gamble signing players in those circumstances.

Doesn't help that he was drifting wide as you say, when we needed him in the box.

 

He’s not a poacher, in the style Kyogo was. His game is not to make front post runs, he is more effective as a link player. He might suit 4-4-2 better.

 

When we signed him I pointed out he needs LOADS of chances if he was going to score and we're just not creating chances

 

He’s the last name I’d be criticising today.

He will be absolutely fine, he’s shown plenty since joining.

 

Could see how raging he was numerous times at some of the players in the team. He wasn’t great but he wasn’t bad either and at the moment he’s being hamstrung by playing with far inferior teammates and a system which is isolating him and starving him of any sort of involvement in the game.

 

Think he is getting a very, very soft ride from some here considering the abuse being fired in every direction.

He was brutal today. He has 1 goal from play in 7 games. He is slow as Christmas and has no right foot. It was always going to take time for him to get up and running but he's not getting any better, probably going the other way if anything.
