Stuliasz Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 Mahrez Provides a Positive in Winless October lcfcratings.wordpress.com In a month where City only picked up one point out of a possible nine, positives are always going to be hard to come by. The performances of Riyad Mahrez were voted to be superior his teammates, and as a result he picks up the LCFC Ratings award for October's Player of the Month. Even those who played in all three games could not match Mahrez who sat out the Newcastle game due to arriving home late from international duty with Algeria. Wes Morgan delivered the second best set of performances as he continues to be voted one of City's highest performers. Jamie Vardy rounded off the top three despite not coming close to the heights that were hit during the Manchester United victory in September. The United win seems a long time ago after a run of poor displays sees most of this month's awards going to the "least worst" rather than the best. Only 30% of the ratings given to players this month were over the average mark of 5.5 with five individual performances rated 4 or below. Only four performances made it above the 6 mark, with the display by Riyad Mahrez against Burnley comfortably voted the best during October. Unsurprisingly the Burnley draw saw the best team and managerial performance, as well as the most favourable change in supporter confidence for manager Nigel Pearson. However after a sharp fall following the Newcastle defeat and a small drop after Swansea, Pearson ended the month with his lowest confidence percentage of the season so far at 84%. Elsewhere Swansea City were voted the best opposition the Foxes faced by some distance, with Newcastle faring the worst despite their 1-0 win at St. James' Park. The Swansea defeat also saw the best refereeing performance from Mike Jones, with Martin Atkinson's performance at Newcastle the worst despite a reasonably average rating. October also sees the first monthly "Best Eleven" (to be taken light-heartedly!), which is chosen from the average rating of anyone who played without taking into account the minutes on the pitch. With four games in November, hopefully there will be more positive performances to reflect on this time next month. Thanks to all who voted during October!

Thracian Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 What a condemnation those ratings are. After an exciting start we're reduced to a whole month of football where only one player rates an average avove 5.6. That's not getting the best out of people. Even worse for a team supposedly having a go - only one attacker approached a 6-rating. I'll sure be interested to see next month's figures.

I'll sure be interested to see next month's figures but I will certainly need you to help me out as I am not very good at interpreting things even after sound exegesis by the OP. We are all doomed!!

Guest ttfn Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 You know it's been a bad month when a 2-2 draw at home to Burnley is the team performance of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 An out of form Vardy who only started once up front came second and Mahrez who only started twice came first. Says it all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 30 October 2014 Share Posted 30 October 2014 I bet Riyad's buzzing! 5.99 for player of the month On the plus side, it can only improve next month. Either due to lower expectations or a higher level of performance. Edited to say, nice work on this. I find the stats interesting and a decent amount of effort must go into putting it all together.

Stuliasz Posted 31 October 2014 Author Share Posted 31 October 2014 can't believe cambiasso gets such a high rating all the time Guessing there is a level of sarcasm in this but just in case (and for those who do genuinely believe it), I think his honeymoon period is over. His ratings so far: Stoke (A) - 8.20 Man Utd (H) - 8.59 Palace (A) - 5.70 Newcastle (A) - 4.91 Swansea (A) - 4.29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
