Iheanacho isn’t good enough, scored a few goals recently but horrible first touch, wayward shooting and at times no plan with his passing. Disappointing

Iheanacho is a ducking dreadful player

Iheanacho is actually dreadful at football. Can’t pass a ball 5 yards. Can’t control a ball from 10 yards. Makes awful decisions. #fpl #WHULEI

If Iheanacho was English, the media would have put a jaw dropping price on him and rank him with the likes of Mbappe, Haaland and Neyma.

 Though West Ham defeated Leicester 3-2 in their English Premier League encounter on Sunday, Iheanacho’s brace was able to restore some dignity and faith into the Foxes team.

In-form Lingard had scored twice in the first half before Leicester’s Bown goal in the second half.
