UPinCarolina Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 MOTM: Danny Simpson, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Danny Simpson MotM by a county mile. Zieler was poor, worried every time he touched the ball, didn't claim any crosses and should have done better for their 2nd. (4) Back four did a decent job imo, a freak goal to concede and a good cross/ header. 7s all around Simoson the stand out was everywhere. 8. The midfield is where we lost the game today. Musa was poor and didn't show anything until we went behind. (3) Drinkwater, unfit? Tired? Most disappointing game from him in a long time, couldn't make a pass today which really didn't help relieve pressure. (4) King wasn't his worst game, won the ball ans played it simple most of the time, nothing that stood out though (6). Mahrez our only threat, but was often double teamed on the wing, needs to be smarter. (6) Okazaki non existent (5) Slimani only his goal gives him a 5, he sulked and moaned and didn't really do anything. Vardy badly needs a goal, he ran and chased and got into the right positions but looked like he didn't have a clue what to do when it came to him. Should have scored the header. (5) Gray meh didn't seem to grab his chance a couple of long shots, but nothing that makes you think he has to start. (5) Ulloa simply not good enough for where we are or want to be. Claudio hard to see where he got it wrong today, played the 11 I would have played, made the subs I wanted to see, just didn't come off today (6) WBA did the job they set out to do, frustrated us, slowed the game down and took their chances. (7) ref didn't have a decision to make in the game, 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Zieler 4 All defence 5 - Bullied by a stronger player in Rondon. Mahrez, Musa 6 - Thought both looked dangerous at times. Drinkwater 5 - Still our best central midfielder. King 4 Slimani, Okazaki - 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Simpson is OK until he has the ball at his feet. Then he looks very championship. Good blocker tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chico1958 Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 I couldn't think of a number appropriate for the Team today But I found something that indicated how I thought they performed. Agreed ? But I still love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Zieler 5 should have come charging out for their winner but too scared/timid. Simpson 7 typical scrap like effort from him, our motm imo Fuchs 6 reasonable performance as often is the case Morgan 5 struggled early with rondon and struggled generally with pace Huth 5 made it through with no clangers before he was sacrificed for leo messi ulloa Mahrez 4 needs dropping. yes i agree claudio he is our best bet for creating something but he's stuck in a rut Drinkwater 6 busy as a bee (with no sting) King 5 another of his frequent "off days" Musa 6 so frustrating seeing someone so quick not using it to maximum effect Slimani 4 harsh rating for the goal scorer but not quite living up to his price tag, may not be all his fault though. Okazaki 5 ineffective which is probaly why he was subbed earlier than usual Vardy 6 provided a bit of urgency but still cant score Ulloa 5 its quite sad to see him get the odd cameo for us, think he could get a regular starting place elsewhere Gray 5 after all my moaning about him not getting a chance, he was pretty average. needs to start though!

He looks for the long pass every time even, it's so frustrating. There is a time and a place for it and there is a time to play a simple 5-10 yard pass on the ground which he seems in capable of doing. In games such as today, we needed our CMs to move the ball quickly with short passing to try and prise open spaces in a compact and disciplined West Brom defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 TBH I think king is being given an easy time here. I gave him a 2. Genuinely useless. One of those games where I feel like I could've done what he did; make unchallenged backwards 5 yard passes, whimp out of challenges and give the ball away under pressure.

If there isn't anything on, then I'd rather a player keep the ball (if that means playing a 5 yard backwards pass then so be it) than aimlessly play it long for a winger to beat one of West Broms massive defenders in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when was the last time either of them carried the ball forward? In the oppositions half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a while I've been surprised at how positive people are about Drinkwater. He ups the tempo of the game better than anyone else, yes, and he's had a few decent matches this season, but I think he's been at the heart of our increased predictability. He plays the same over-the-top ball game-in game-out (I know, lack of movement is also responsible), often shows poor awareness, often lays it off without bothering to look up beforehand. I dread to think where we'd be without him, but that has as much to do with the lack of alternatives as with the standard of his performances. That's not to say that anyone has been consistently better than him, but then again I couldn't tell you the name of one outfield player who I think has been genuinely consistent. Schlupp, Huth, Mahrez and Vardy perhaps, for the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCan Posted 6 November 2016 Share Posted 6 November 2016 Mahrez and Musa were the only players who moved the ball forward. - Mahrez: 8 - Musa: 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
