As for Slim, I'm very impressed with him so far. I think his attitude should put some of our established players (who sometimes seem to take their place in the starting lineup for granted) to shame. It was especially evident in last game vs Boro, I love this kind of warrior mentality. I'm still looking forward to see his on the pitch partnership with Mahrez being developed. I was expecting a bit more from Riyad in that regard, but well... it'll come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the kind of player that makes you think after a match to your self "I can go to sleep knowing that we have a player hitting the ground running like it is his last time playing football" And I am one of the few people that have yet to give up on the slim-vardy partnership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 3 December 2016 Share Posted 3 December 2016 His threat and goals only come from well-taken set-piece crosses it seems at the moment. Hence he must play either with Fuchs, Albrighton or Gray involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you're classing Man City as the weaker opposition? In that case I say fair play to you .

This above formation is based on the current situation/availability. Are you still a fan of 4-4-2 ? I just want the lads to play some positive, offensive football and have some breakthrough game. That's why there's Moose instead of Albrighton (who is out of form anyway). Its not like our defense are earning their pizza these days... At the very least I'd like to see more than couple goal attempts in the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limeydale Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 Slim should get a mention of how well he played Saturday and his two outstanding assists with out which the game would have ended in a tie. Well done Slimani!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox2 Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 I hope that whatever player we bring in to the midfield and it looks like it will be Ndidi has a good shot on them. He must be a CM's dream as some of his layoffs/holding up play are just begging to be put in to the top corner like King on Sat although I still don't see King as anything more than a squad player unfortunately, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leamington Fox Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 I must confess that I argued for starting with Vardy on the bench on Saturday, with Okazaki and Slimani starting. This is one of many reasons why I'm not a football manager. I think I saw more than enough to persist with Slimani and Vardy starting together, with Okazaki on the bench. I am not down on Musa particularly, but I can't see how he gets into our starting XI if we've got a fully fit side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 4 goals and 3 assists in the league so far meaning he's been involved in a goal every 88 minutes he's been on the pitch! Not bad for someone who's only just settling in. Imagine how good he could be when we start creating more chances again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 He looked aboslutely shattered on Saturday and no wonder. He ran like a man obsessed. Right now, this energy is great, but I can see him trying too hard sometimes. When on top of his game, Vardy is masterful at knowing when to press at full tilt and when to fall back. Slim could learn a bit from Vards there, because if we can get him to play 90 minutes instead of 60/70 minutes a game, it could prove crucial. I loved how much he cared about missing that header late first half, but next time he might actually hurt himself slamming the ground like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 Well he set two up on Saturday and nearly put one or two away. If we can pair him with Vardy successfully, the potential for goals is insane. I really rate him and hope he can fulfill his potential with us.

The only other players that I can find with more than 1 goal or assist per 90 minutes so far this season are Diego Costa and Alexis Sanchez.
