Stuliasz Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 Another Huge Swing for Pearson as Esteban Takes MotM Again lcfcratings.wordpress.com Saturday 13 December 2014, 15:00Barclays Premier LeagueKing Power Stadium, Leicester Leicester City 0 Manchester City 1Lampard 40' Esteban Cambiasso won his fifth man of the match award this season and his third in four games after he marshalled an impressive midfield display in the narrow 1-0 defeat to Premier League champions Manchester City. Cambiasso, Drinkwater and King all played their part in keeping the Man City midfield of Nasri, Toure, Silva and Lampard relatively quiet, although the latter did manage to break away from his runners to nick what turned out to be the winner for Pellegrini's side. Riyad Mahrez was a consistent menace throughout the game earning him second place, while Ben Hamer impressed on his home debut to also make the top three with an excellent save from Toure one of the standout moments. All eleven starters received marks higher than the 5.5 average, with Paul Konchesky the lowest-rated starter and substitutes Ulloa and Powell the only two to be rated below average. This probably reflects City's reduced attacking threat following the substitutions. The overall team performance matched the rating at home to Sunderland where City fans were given glimpses of promise, only for it to be swiftly removed in the games that followed. With a trip to West Ham to come followed by Spurs on Boxing Day, it's very difficult to see anything other than the same happening again. On a positive note City fans did feel that Pearson got it right against Manchester City, achieving his highest rating since the 5-3 victory over Manchester United. The fickle nature of certain supporters seemed to be evident again, as there was a record 21% manager confidence swing turning in favour of the manager on this occasion. Meanwhile Man City only showed glimpses of what they are capable of and this was reflected in the mediocre rating they received, while Jonathan Moss and his assistants received the second lowest rating given to officials this season with only Craig Pawson in the last match at Villa receiving worse.

Dan LCFC Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 The manager confidence is pretty amazing really. 7th best team performance of the season. I'm going to assume another loss was voted higher (I'll guess Chelsea away) and Burnley at home, despite not losing, was voted lower. Pretty fair ratings I'd say.

AKCJ Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 What gets me about team ratings is, say if Cambiasso's freekick went in and we played the exact same way as we did and drew 1-1. Those ratings would be 8s and 9s rather thaan 5s and 6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 Konchesky gets a rough ride every single week yet I ask you to look back and see how many goals have came from his side from crosses during the entire season in comparison to down the right hand side.

Sunbury Fox Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 It's Konchesky's very poor distribution, which leads to his poor ratings. As soon as he is pressured he hits it long and loses us possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 Konchesky isn't bad defensively. Looks like he knows what he's doing. On the ball however he is midtable Championship at best. Biggest hoofer in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osavo Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 He also often holds the ball for too long then plays one of our centre-halves, usually Morgan, into trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamba's Babes Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 Konchesky isn't bad defensively. Looks like he knows what he's doing. On the ball however he is midtable Championship at best. Biggest hoofer in our team. He kicks the ball out of play with nobody around him at least once per game. It is INFURIATING! Was is also a nightmare on the ball.

Guest MattP Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 Think that's about spot on apart from the Konchesky and Vardy ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScouseFox Posted 15 December 2014 Share Posted 15 December 2014 yep, had that top 3 myself i think. think the average team total of a low six looks a bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdaz Posted 16 December 2014 Share Posted 16 December 2014 Can belive Jeff has got such poor ratings he was one of our best players certainly better than most of the team, I think even if Jeff scored two and assisted with another he would get a poor rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't contribute much and was hauled off after an hour, what rating do you expect? (For the record I rated him higher than usual this week just for not giving a goal away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was is also a nightmare on the ball. You would rather him do that than try play a pass into midfield and lose it in a dangerous area. Predominantly his job is to defend, which he has done to a good level this season yet still gets abuse both on here and in the stands. I can't think of an opposition winger who has had his pants down in the same way that De Laet has had on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(For the record I rated him higher than usual this week just for not giving a goal away) Exactly this. He ended up in the top 3 for QPR and Liverpool and he was crap in both. I thought he did fine on Saturday though. Far more switched on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a good performance of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
