Is Danny Simpson doing enough?

Recommended Posts

Posted

Too early to say for sure, but he's doing a lot better this year than he did last year and fair play to him for that.

Still bang average all things considered. If we blew all our January beans on a good RB and nobody leaves I'd consider it a good window.

De Laet offers attacking threat but is a bit of a liability defensively, particularly so when Mahrez is in front of him.

 

Simpson is much better defensively, but not great at all going forwards. An average player, but nothing special. More consistent so far though...

 

 

Both are mid-lower prem players, which is fine for a club our level. However, we've started to progress into a top 8 prem club, and neither of them are quite at that level. Definitely get an improvement in January and sell one of them (who gets sold depends on the type of RB we bring in). That's not to suggest that they're not both very capable players, but the club has a vision and unfortunately they're not quite up to the level we need.

I wasn't his biggest fan on or off the pitch but he's been great the last few games. Minus letting Rondon score but why is he on him for a corner anyway? If there's a decent option out there then sure, go for it, that goes for all positions, but I'm happy at the moment.

Improved a lot. Too easily beaten in the air though and so always a risk at set plays. Would still like to see us sign a better RB in January if one is available. We must keep strivng to improve on what we have, hence why I still think we should sign Austin, even though we are scoring loads!

Pros of our two RBs:

 

Simpson - better defensively

RDL - better offensively, quicker and probably better in the air too

 

Not a lot between the 2 but certainly if it's Mahrez RW then Simpson shades it. 

 

Both OK options but as mentioned, Trippier would be a great addition. If so i'd probably keep RDL as he offers something a bit more different.

are you mental?

Austin would be perfect if and when Vardy gets injured. Would be a top signing and surely would be a bit cheaper now? Send them Kramaric on loan for a bit too if they want.

Nope. Think Vardy and Austin would be a dream pairing personally. Both score goals for fun. If we want to make the step to the next level, consistently, then we need to keep pushing and improving and Austin is an improvement on our other strikers in my opinion. 

 

Kram to go on loan. Ulloa and Shinji back-up strikers.  :thumbup:

Lost his man for their goal but other than that I thought  that was his best game for us, good enough? not convinced 

He did lose him, but rondon timed his run well, no great fan of simpsons thought he was shocking last year but  this year hes

getting better, hes not going to get up and down but looks pretty solid defensively, my only problem with him is he always

knocks the ball backwards and sideways never trys anything slightly adventurous,

We nearly got relegated last year and have had a great start to this season. Not sure that equates to us progressing into a top 8 Prem club just yet.

Keywords being 'started to'.

The better right-back is whichever one is lucky enough to have Albrighton in front of him. In this case, Simpson. 

 

I kinda feel sorry for De Laet because he always had Mahrez. 

Posted

Prefer him to De Laet. I dont think De Laet is that good attacking, seems like he is dreaming for most of the game as well.

Would be good if we could buy a right-back that can play on the left as well.

Albrighton plays on the left and Mahrez on the right when both start?

 

And they switch throughout the game.

If we are to solidify ourselves as a top half team, there are eventually some truths you have to accept.

Simpson has been playing well but we need a right back of the same quality as Fuchs.
