It's not Slimani's fault that it's been hoofed up to him though. When we're having a shit game, we hoof it up to Vardy and Okazaki too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very average but absolutely not toilet. I see he got the 3rd best note amongst his teammates behind Gray and Drinkwater. That ridiculos instant cross inside the box from Albrighton when score was 0-0 typifies the kind of services he got today. difficult to have an impact in such conditions.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 24 September 2016 Share Posted 24 September 2016 It was shocking to see us not float balls into the box with his quality there we were actually trying to pass the ball through them instead. Just makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 24 September 2016 Share Posted 24 September 2016 Hoofing the ball up to him all game long. He's got no chance of doing anything with that. Second half was a bit better from him. The team was poor overall. I don't think he was any worse than Vardy or Mahrez. He wasn't even the worst player on the pitch at all. Amartey + the back 4 were all worse than Slimani today.

I am really curious to see how Leicester will start their offensive during a game ( apart from the obvious long ball). I had a little "echantillon" of it against Chelsea.

Koke Posted 24 September 2016 Share Posted 24 September 2016 He's kind of right about Mahrez defending a lot. Imagine Hazard and Sterling playing as wingers in a 4-4-2. If Mahrez played in a 4-2-3-1 then he might actually be more consistent, but we can't build the team and formation around one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honnestly this Slimani thread and I am talking about Slimani and you find it abnormal... Today defense was awful and drinkwater was working on his own in themiddle ....and the attack was 99% of time defending. That is my points.

chicagofox Posted 24 September 2016 Share Posted 24 September 2016 I thought Slimani found some lovely positions against Utd where he was free in the box and but for poor crossing he would have probably scored. I'm thinking of Albrighton crossing straight to De Gea when Slimani was unmarked in the six yard box. He was also well placed for Gray's cross that ended up being a shot and there were other occasions. He also put a decent shift in I thought. His Algerian teammate on the other hand deserved to be hauled off at half-time. If we ever play one up-front it has to be Slimani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inckley fox Posted 24 September 2016 Share Posted 24 September 2016 I won't be too hard on him because he worked hard and the supply wasn't the best in either half. However his first touch didn't look top flight standard to me. If we go 4-5-1 then, unless we give one of the wider attacking roles to Vardy (ahead of, say, Gray and Mahrez), I can Slimani being benched for a while. It'd be harsh, but we might have to do it. Some say they'd prefer Okazaki to Slimani in a 4-4-2. I haven't seen enough of Slimani to agree, but if Okazaki continues to take his chances, or if Ulloa continues to look the part in his cameos, I can see Slimani struggling to make the eleven in either a 4-5-1 or 4-4-2. I'm sure he'll eventually step up and make the role his own, but it might not be as instant as hoped. And if that happens, I suppose questions will be asked about whether our summer business has really strengthened our starting eleven. Early signs aren't amazing.
