Ex Rangers striker, Ally McCoist has come out to say that Kelechi Iheanacho would’ve converted Timo Werner’s missed chance vs Real Madrid.He recently revealed that the miss was a poor one from Chelsea’s point of view, but a great save from Real Madrid’s point of view.
According to him, Kelechi has been in great form as a striker because he never overthinks chances, unlike the ex RB Leipzig man.
He added that Werner cannot be hesitant in front of goal at the highest stage, so he has to step up his game.
His words, “If you’re in the Real Madrid dressing room, it’s a great save. You’re patting your goalkeeper on the back, saying ‘What a save, kept us in it,’ because it is a good save.”
“But from a Chelsea point of view, when the ball gets headed back to him by Mount, I can see him thinking about it.”
“I can see him thinking about that chance, whereas [Kelechi] Iheanacho doesn’t think about it, if he’s on a run. Iheanacho just comes in and doesn’t think about it. He might still miss it, but he just comes in and just goes bang, does it naturally and that’s it.”
“It might sound a crazy thing to say, I can see a slight split-second hesitancy in Werner and that’s me watching him thinking about it.”
“I think Manchester City look as if they’ve got goals all over the place in their team, whether it’s Foden, Sterling, De Bruyne.”
“I’m not sure Chelsea will have enough goals in the team. They’ve clearly got goals in the team, with Mount and Pulisic and boys like that, but I’m not sure they’ve got enough goals in the team, without someone getting them, maybe 15-20.”
