He was never really loved by his team mates. They hardly feed him with the ball unless when there is no other option. And when he scores, they don't celebrate with him joyfully.
His selfish nature caused the hostility, remember last season against arsenal when man city was in danger of missing out on the UCL they needed to win the game, kelechi had aguero open on his right,you know what he did, he shot against a player, lucky enough for Man City other result went there way. Selfishness is one aspect of his game he needs to improve upon, look at Suarez from his days at Ajax, he always score and assist others, that is an important part of new age football.

I think it is beyond that single incidence. infact, if you observed City players before that encounter, they weren't that welcoming to him. I am guessing maybe they feel threatened by his youth and talent, or, they just want to systematically bully him and make him know his age and place in the team. But whatever it was, it hasn't done him, Nigeria or the club any good.

But Nigeria suffers more, his age also affected him, man city has 90% old players until last two summers when they started buying youths players, most of them feels he should be playing in the youth league.

Thank you and some will compare him with Messi, Messi at his age runs the entire pitch even now still run back to help the defense and midfield.

Messi runs the entire pitch. I doubt you have thoroughly watched Messi. Iheanacho has a high work rate than Messi in his early twenties.

The way I see it.
City isn't going to finish in top 4 in EPL this season. As I don't see either of Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool not being in the top four. Chelsea had won the league.
City won't win the UCL either.

Will Guardiola still have a job in City come the end of the season? Time will tell.

I watched Jesus against poor Westham side, I saw no extraordinary talent or skill set in him, only Sane showed such promise.
Jesus is all hype, I remember that Depay came with such in EPL, and we know how that ended, where is Januzaj?

All Iheanacho need do is work hard in training, learn new skill sets like free-kicks, and he will weather this storm with time. Now that the spotlight is less on him, is the best time to grow his game under low pressure, and show his worth whence called upon. This is a challenge for him, he can let it Mar him or he can use it to spur his career into the next level.

Then it means you are just seeing Jesus play...And you think a sane coach will bench Aguero because of an ordinary player? And about your top 4 analysis, one point separates 2nd and 5th, Arsenal and Liverpool are not outright consistent, a run of 5 straight victories can make the difference

Thank God for kelechis goals. It has somewhat covered up for him. His link up play and his on the ball control needs some polishing. If his movement as silky as iwobi who has scored less goals in arsenal. He will be indispensable to pep. I hope he ups his overall attacking strenght

I have never fancied mancity as a club for him. The club is too plastic and need success as quickly as possible to justify their enormous spending.
Iheanacho needs a club like [b]Borrusia Dortmund [/b]or [b]Arsenal
. There, He is going to learn the technical aspects of the game at his own pace and become the great footballing maestro he has the talent to become.[/b]
Bingo. Those are the two best clubs in Europe for young players, Borussia being superior since Arsenal's youth strategy has always been in danger of not outlasting Arsene Wenger.

For Iheanacho, imo, his biggest weakness since arriving at the first team seemed to be his dribbling and first touch. He seemed to have lost confidence in both completely when he was doing both rather comfortably at the City 2 squad and U17. His first touch especially is telling and informs his dribbling struggles. If it were merely higher levels of competition, then his dribbling might go down but his first touch should still remain about the same when he is unmanned. It seems to me that he initially ran into trouble showing close control around defenders and lost all confidence in his ability to control the ball under any situation.

To me this is the biggest reason that he is struggling to impress Pep. Guardiola likes creativity across the pitch bc that's what he had in both Barca and Bayern. Technical ability is not the strongest part of the English game which is why I always bemoan the fact that Nigerians seem drawn to that league moreso than Germany or Spain. If you look at English footballers, only the elite can be considered to have deft touch and above average dribbling skills and none have been elite dribblers in recent memory. This is Pep's biggest issue with City as a whole. I don't think he's as great a manager as he's called out to be; he didn't create the system used at Barca and Bayern has won the Champions League the year before he arrived and none since. But he's used to a certain caliber of player who can create out of dire situations by holding and dribbling out of danger. Iheanacho had flashes of that ability but noone to teach him how to hone it. They developed him as an out and out striker and he lost that aspect of his game, perhaps forever...

If you look at what BVB has done with Dembele and Pulisic, they did not try to breed the creativity and expressiveness out of their games merely to fill a role. I'm not saying that Iheanacho ever had the natural dribbling skills as those two or even Iwobi, but he would have been put in a position there to use it to the best of his ability and become the best player that he could potentially have been. Now, I'm not so sure that this can happen. I don't know why African players can't get on at German clubs; is it a matter of not trying or no interest there? Isaac Success' ventures in Spain has potentially made him a better player than he would have been coming straight to England. Imo, his potential may not have been the same as what Iheanacho's was, but he has just about caught up to him.

Perhaps having a German coach for the national team could change this and Nigerian academies can gain connections to the Bundesliga pipeline, but Nigerian's themselves may not see this as profitable. Most Nigerians watch and have access to EPL matches. Those matches make more money in Nigeria, so clubs from England know that they can buy Nigerians and sell their merch whether or not they play them or properly develop them. There is no such incentive outside of England so their up-front offers will never match England's for Nigerian players. So it becomes a question of whether the player himself will [i](or can) [/i]make a decision for his own future or go along with the plan.

Iheanacho has good movement off the ball. If you look at his runs, he times them well and moves well into spaces behind defenders. He even often makes the pass thinking a few plays ahead to how the potential teammate will set him up for goal and immediately starts making that run. That's football IQ. He has that, and he mostly is a good passer of the ball. He just doesn't have the overall playmaking ability and that's what Pep values, players who can create off the dribble and one-touch pass without a break for long periods of time. He's not that type of players and hasn't been set up to be since his time at City. Moving now would help, but where he moves will determine how he develops. If he goes to a mid-table EPL team, then he's done. He'll be a target striker forever. If he wants to develop into a more complete player, then Spain or Germany is best. Even Italy would be better. Or perhaps Arsenal...
