foxes21 Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 (edited) thing is if we shift him out wide, we'll have six wingers competing for 2 places. We can still play Vardy/Musa centrally, but we need that link man behind them. Okazaki/Slimani should be rotating for that role, every game. We've seen glimpses of Slimani do the Okazaki role (Vs Burnley, Brugge). But he can't do it 3 times a week. Rotate both Shinji/Slimani regularly and, I'm sure Vardy/Musa will be more of a threat and get better service. Edited 15 October 2016 by foxes21 2

That's true actually, can remember him winning the ball back and then played a through ball to the invisible man. He was proper shit today
Dan Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 I am still prepared to give Musa time, but he has got flop written all over him at the minute. 1

Spiritwalker Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 I think someone's had our pants down with the money we've payed for this guy. 1
ronnup Posted 15 October 2016 Posted 15 October 2016 Some utter rubbish here. Vardy look good today did he? Any striker would've looked shite playing up top for that pub team crap.
foxy boxing Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 maybe he'll come good in winter, after all he was playing in Russia where it gets really cold. when the whether gets colder he'll be piping hot hopefully?
Popular Post Babylon Posted 17 October 2016 Popular Post Posted 17 October 2016 He received 15 passes all game... and we wonder why people struggle. 5
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 Utilize him right and we have a real player IMO. Like others (Kapustka, Hernandez etc), they will still need time to adjust as at the moment they aren't regulars in the first team.
Rialto 290352 Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 Almost impossible to rate the strikers at the moment as the service to them is so poor. That desperately needs to change. The strikers have not become bad players but the midfield are not creating anything for them. Perhaps we need a younger mobile player to play in front of the back four plus a withdrawn second striker to link midfield with a lone striker for away games? Play a 4-1-3-1-1?

Wymsey Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 29 minutes ago, Babylon said: He received 15 passes all game... and we wonder why people struggle. But how many times did he lose the ball? Didn't seem good at ball-controlling on Saturday.

You recon the players thought they might be better just cutting out the middle man and giving it straight to the opposition instead? Bit harsh I recon they might have sent the ball elsewhere based on that. The other question it begs to be asked is what did he do to encourage them to pass? 1
lifted*fox Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 (edited) Inclined to agree with people when they say the service has been shit - it's been ****ing wretched. It doesn't matter if you've got Jesus himself playing up front - he won't score **** all with the dog-shit service they've been receiving. Aimless hoofing, shit crosses, misplaced passes. The service to our strikers is drier than a nuns cvnt in a sandstorm at the moment. Edited 17 October 2016 by daz*dsb

Why are people on here jumping on Musa as suddenly being crap? How the Hell is he meant to score goals in this team at the moment. There's no midfield supply! Lumping a high ball up to a fella who's about 5ft zero don't work!

Merging Cultures Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 Utilize him right and we have a real player IMO. Like others (Kapustka, Hernandez etc), they will still need time to adjust as at the moment they aren't regulars in the first team.I agree. And given we keep losing away from home, let's chuck all the new guys on and go for it.
Merging Cultures Posted 17 October 2016 Posted 17 October 2016 When I've watched him play for Nigeria he generally plays well. He comes deeper, gets the ball and runs at the defence. Either out wide upfront or on the wing.As an aside, Algeria will be playing in Zambia soonish, I can't wait to go and Slim and Mahrez.

I agree, but the same could have been said about Vardy when he first played in Championship. I realise at the price we paid, he ought to be close to 'the finished article', but I still think he can be successful. Having said that, he looked far more lively at Hull when he was chasing down defenders which seemed to be lacking Saturday.
