On their day, that Liverpool midfield are frekkin' awesome, they way way they ping the ball around. Bit shakey at the back mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Claudio has bought in the right guy in Mendy, his reputation as a genius will be assured. Amarty will hopefully nail the midfield place down looks and athlete and is a big bloke to have along side drinkwater. Can't see Mendy being as good as him personally.

Yes he puts a lot of crosses in, but 90% are poor. Any else notice Fuchs bomb on a lot more than usual? Just wish we had a Fuchs at right back. Fuchs has Albrighton to help do donkey work, so wont be left exposed. Simpson was great again today, does the job we need him to do. The perfect foil for somebody like Mahrez and the most underrated cog in our machine. Was telling that despite how comfortable we were in midweek, we still missed him.

Webbo Posted 17 September 2016 Share Posted 17 September 2016 I'd like to mention Vardy's long range ,diagonal pass to Mahrez that dropped right onto his foot. Pass of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel a little sorry for Albrighton as whenever he gets into a good crossing position he has to turn and get it on his right foot. He did a good piece of skill in the first half megging the full back getting to the byline but then put in a weak cross with his left foot.

Pass of the match. There were a couple of other contenders webbo - both long diagonals from drinks and Riyad plus albrightons through pass for vards first half. Some interesting changes to the dynamic with slim in place of shinji. he doesn't chase back as deep as shinji and holding midfielders are therefore less stressed. This puts more pressure on DD and DM as the midfield two. considering burnley played a midfield three plus two wide, our two were outstanding today. Slimani harassing further forward than shinji clearly makes a difference to the opposition defence who have to worry about two forwards getting amongst them. Claudio has some thinking to do ahead of yanited. He surely won't consider going this formation there after seeing Liverpool dismantle us without a midfield 3 to compete like for like. Anyway, so many impressive performances today. Only Huth, Morgan and Zieler didn't really impress and that was because they had a quiet afternoon. burnleys back two were very strong in the air and slimani won very few aerial duels. Yet he scored with two headers! Danny's withdrawal left a big hole re the tempo of our game. Really noticeable that the team weren't sure what to do with the possession once he had departed. He really controls our game and any absence would be huge. presume that mendy would be able to take up that role, given his apparent passing capability. Couple of occasions today I watched amartey get involved and was reminded of NG. He is very young and whilst he won't ever be a direct replacement, he does have more physical presence than NG. . Give him a bit of time with more of Claudio's coaching and we may have another gem on our hands. Anyway, let's hope that next week sees a change in our away fortunes. Porto is only a few days later!

MurphyMagic Posted 17 September 2016 Share Posted 17 September 2016 Fantastic performance today, just a shame we couldn't bang a few more in to wind Dyche up a bit more.

Alan lcfc Posted 17 September 2016 Share Posted 17 September 2016 We have to remember we are champions teams like burnley wouldn't be expected.to come out gung Ho against a city or utd away, they tried to close us down and keep.it tight, we were far to good for them,we are champions and won convincingly like champions should, bring on utd. Slimani looked class and the type of player that is going to take defenders out of position,.giving more space for vardy and marhrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 17 September 2016 Share Posted 17 September 2016 Very comfortable win, should've been more than 3 but we played at a quick tempo and it was noticeable how much the full-backs were contributing. Fantastic to see Slimani (who was impressive otherwise) get a couple, fabulous ball by Fuchs for his first. Zieler did well, I liked the fact we tried to play it out more and not just launch it each time. No issue of fatigue, complacency etc, just a professional, positive display to end a great four days for the team. Six goals and none conceded should lift the confidence much higher after last week. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 17 September 2016 Share Posted 17 September 2016 I just wanna say that Fuchs was fantastic today. Both defensively and offensively. Some of the balls he put into the box were sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 17 September 2016 Share Posted 17 September 2016 My thoughts on today. Glad we got in front. And although it wasn't early. Bet it changed gravel throats half time talk Without getting out of 3rd gear we were to good for them. Amartey will grow into the role. Anfield was a harsh lesson yes. Silimani will lighten the load on Vardy who despite not scoring had some quality moments. Still love the fact we have defenders who defend. Albrighton is key to how we play. Oh and ranieri was correct it seems the cl music woke mahrez up The players definitely had less of a cl hangover than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
