themightyfin Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Feed the "Moose" and he will score outstanding today
Webbo Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Apart from his goal he was hardly outstanding. Not bad but not brilliant.
Charl91 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Not going to say he was outstanding, but he was pretty good, and a lovely goal to boot. Certainly deserves to keep his place.

He was everywhere working hard off the ball and looked dangerous every time he got it. Great vision with his passing and great goal what more can he do???
RobHawk Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Looked a little lightweight at times when holding the ball up, but an encouraging performance non the less. Hopefully he will kick on now he's got a goal

His goal gave him a bit of confidence perhaps.

Thought he took his goal really well, little shimmy opened up the two defenders and a good finish. Looked decent on the ball too and thought he showed a good range of passing, but I wouldn't say he was outstanding.
Merging Cultures Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 I think this will have done his confidence a world of good and he could now go on a good streak, assuming he gets more game time.
StriderHiryu Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Sat right down by the touch line so got to see him closely in the first half. Actually started terribly, giving the all away and getting shrugged off. However, he really grew into the game and contributed a lot - not just his goal. He he needs confidence from a run in the side and to settle into the league. You can tell there's a great player in there if he can get his head right.
RobHawk Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 It was a great finish for his goal, but fair play to Mahrez too, the defenders looking to cover off his run was the reason it opened up for Musa to have a go.
Webbo Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Tbf I don't think he's a winger, he'd be better suited to the Vardy role.
foxes21 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 If Ranieri's planning to use him as a winger, then where does this leave our other attacking options? Possibly: Wingers: Mahrez, Musa, Gray, Albrighton, Schlupp CAM: Okazaki, Ulloa, Kaputska CF: Vardy, Slimani
Nick Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Just now, Webbo said: Tbf I don't think he's a winger, he'd be better suited to the Vardy role. Agreed - he'd work well in a three as well if we ever actually lined up outside a 442!

lgfualol Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Thought he was brilliant today. We didn't miss Albrighton's defensive efforts and we certainly didn't miss Albrighton's horrendous attacking attributes. He started slowly but that was always going to happen, he hasn't really played that much in the Prem yet and grew in confidence as the game went on.
FireFox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 He was great at LW in a 442... because we had Okazaki. Our highest rated player for today on WhoScored.
steflcfc Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 First half before his goal he worked hard and tracked back when needed, but struggled and lost the ball a few times when he was in possession. He had a decent game not outstanding, but not poor by any means. He will need game time week in week out to pick up a better understanding with the players around him. But a decent home performance for him to now hopefully put down a marker for regular starts
Tielemans63 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 I thought his performance was very encouraging. There's more to come from him I'm sure. I remember reading an article about how it took him some time to adapt to life in Moscow when he was first at CSKA but once he found his feet he became a key player. I'm confident the same will happen again. The PL is a big step-up but he's showing signs that he's capable of making the leap. Same with Amartey, he may be getting annihilated for the THREE minutes he was on the pitch but it takes time for players to adapt. Drinky, Vardy, Morgan- it took these guys plenty of time to adapt to the PL and look at them now.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Got better as the game went on, worked hard getting back an all, but clearly still a bit short of confidence. Good effort today overall, puts pressure on other players to deliver and gives CR options. Well done Ahmed, delighted for him and LCFC.

It's fine, he just feels silly at the moment for slagging off Musa saying he's not fit to play Prem football and now he's digging himself deeper - funny really, with a hint of sad.
FireFox Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 1 shot, 1 goal 3 dribbles (tied with Mahrez and Drinky) 2 tackles (Fuchs had 4, Drinky and Okazaki 3, no one else 2) 1 interception (King, Morgan, Simpson, and Drinky also 1) Made the pass into the strikers and a great run for his first goal. Got fouled before the 2nd goal, advantage was played. Chased a lost cause down to win the corner for the 3rd goal.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 22 October 2016 Posted 22 October 2016 Certainly an improvement on Albrighton of late, he had a very good game. Albrighton needs to step it up because Musa is certainly capable of playing in the position
