Melbourne Fuchs Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 I predict, that manager confidence will drop to 94% for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Really like Albrighton. He's kind of like a more commited Guppy. Every team needs an Albrighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndidi 7 broke up play well kept it simple. Mahrez 8 - Always dangerous. Okazaki 8- His link up play and ability to hold the ball is superb. We look better when Shinki is on form. Vardy 7 Musa 2 - What's the point. Slimani 2 - Would be nice if he tried to jump. Chilwell 6 - Bright. Shakespeare 6 - Thought we invited pressure second half and his subs were wrong. West Ham 5 - Poor. Referee 3 - Inconsistently poor. Funny i thought Ndidi had his worst game and was far more sloppy in possession than Drinky.Lost count of the times Ndidi gave the ball away but to be fair they both looked shattered in the 2nd half. Harsh on the ref, seen a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Maul Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Safe to say Musa will be bottom. I can't remember him doing anything other than not tracking runners and passing the ball straight out for a throw in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfan92 Posted 20 March 2017 Share Posted 20 March 2017 First game I missed since the 5-2 Arsenal game. Luckily we won this time! Those criticising Craig for trying Musa and Slim as subs have to let him give these players a chance to show they can up their game too. If we base players on their performance earlier this season under CR then we'd struggle to find 11 players that deserve to start. And it's true these two players weren't part of our special title winning season so may find this sudden change in intensity difficult to immediately adjust to. I'm okay with them making the odd appearance, just as long as they don't persistently play if they aren't performing to the same level as the rest. We know Gray can do it and Amartey seems fine to slot in wherever needed. The jury is still out on Musa and Slim. Even Musa has had occasional glimmers of what he can do - Everton in the cup and Barcelona friendly. He needs to be playing at at least that level on a regular basis though or be condemned to the sidelines and replaced in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 20 March 2017 Share Posted 20 March 2017 Schmeichel - 9, best form of his career. Benalouane - 8, glad he's been given a chance to restart his starting berth claim again. Maybe he needed it some period out and trust back in him again after some time out - which has seemed to have benefitted in terms of how he reacted here. Vardy - 8, Without him being in-form, the team would have been low on confidence and hence returning to Ranieri's era this season and lacking in ideas too. Albrighton - 8, suddenly he's become another vital asset to have in the team - with tracking back but also keen to get up the pitch. The rest - 7. Musa - 5, had a poor run out, but he's been low on confidence for a while now, but once it comes back - certain he'll be at near his peak again.

Chester Dontlie Posted 20 March 2017 Share Posted 20 March 2017 A disappointing display from Moose to say the least but I still believe he'll shine for us... someday! He just needs more minutes to get in form, but I can't see Shakes dropping anyone to accommodate him. Same goes for Slim who still doesn't look 100% fit after the injury. I though Drinky and Ndidi were a bit off, West Ham overwhelmed us in the middle and last 20 minutes or so were almost too much to handle. Our possession must've went down from 60% in the first half to 30-40% or something in the second, a pity none of our midfielders tried to hold the ball. If it wasn't for Kasper... He was MOTM obviously, couple world class saves, absolutely heroic performance. Benny proved he can do the job on the Prem level, kept a cool head the whole game, can't say I'm surprised, well done to the lad. It's only 10 points to safety!

Thracian Posted 21 March 2017 Share Posted 21 March 2017 It became quite clear we needed additional assistance in central midfield once Shinji went off. No matter how you look at it, we don't function well with just two central mid-fielders, it has to be 2.5 which pleaded for the use of King or Amartey in the closing stages. I still don't understand the reasons we turn to Musa. Every squad member will be keen to get involved yet we turn to a man who's shown weaker evidence of being effective in the Premiership than anyone else. No, I've not given up on the bloke. He's got pace and finishing ability, even if both seem to have been severely rationed since his arrival here. But he seems very little use as a supplementary midfielder who can also support a striker. Truth is he struggles with one job let alone two. In military terms we left N'didi and Drinky tackling overwhelming odds in midfield when Amartey could have provided height and added muscle or King could have provided cool passing under pressure and at least a bit of late-arrival support up front, even if it might have been a little bit later and scarcer than in the past. I even wondered if we could nip over to Ipswich a bit quick, and bring in Tom Lawrence for the last 20 minutes! The crisis really exposed our limitations and our lack of specialist depth. But seriously, why? Why would we turn to Musa in that situation. Had we been chasing a late equaliser or intent on exposing a struggling full-back, sure. But to supplement a defensive situation by offering an outlet? When has Musa offered that in all his months here? He's not the best at resisting a physical challenge, not an instant controller of a ball, he's an indecisive and unreliable passer which gives him 0/3 in terms of basic requirements. He's fast and has an eye for goal given space, but that wasn't the essence of our need at the time. And, we'd have paid for the choice had it not been for Kasper's brilliance.

the fox Posted 22 March 2017 Share Posted 22 March 2017 one question, do people have a personal vendetta against mahrez or something, he does more than okazaki and albrighton on offense and he is playing good defense but they get all the praise for doing half of what he does while he is labeled as "average", 2 goals and 1 assist in the last 3 games, many one on one passes, 4 dribbles and 3 tackles a game. i can imagine how would this forum have reacted if it was gray doing that, he will be labeled "the best young player in england" in no time, i hope he leaves this summer, some people dont deserve him here, he gets alot of abuse for no reason.

It's pretty weird. Got a feeling they either never liked him, prefer more basic players with no flair that run around or look busy, or Mahrez' playing level was so high last season anything he does now is called average.
