CPW22 Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 To create chances for Slimani we need our midfield to get out of our own half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 For £30mill I expected much more.... Missed a decent chance today, missed a free header against Manchester City too. He's a bit faster than Ulloa but I can't see anything else. We've wasted a fair amount of money this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 Before we signed him I said for that sort of money he wasnt enough of an upgrade on Ulloa to bother with. He doesnt appear to have any attributes worth pursuing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cujek Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 Kinda disappointing considering the 30 million price tag, I'm sure there are championship strikers that would have been better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 Can't play as an attacking midfielder. He's an up front man. One of the top scorers in Europe last season and we have him chasing the ball like Okazaki while we lump it forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMELcfc Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 In Portugal you can coast through games, especially playing for top team like sporting. Here, we aren't actually that good so everyone needs to play their bollocks off. He hasn't grasped that yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be wondering why he's come here at the moment. For such a good striker to put in a first half shift like that today....is criminal really. He was poor, but again, he had nothing to feed off.

adam Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 He has a bloody terrible touch, but its not his fault he doesn't get any service. We took him off just before we started putting some crosses into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much wondering why we signed him if we are Only going to play one way all season and use him as a 7ft hustling linkup man who is miles from our box.

Fennec-Fox Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 As his previous coach said.... If the manager knows how to use him, he will get him a lot of goals..... I think for the so little service he got, he's done not bad at all so far..... persist with him a little, and give him more time....trust him full game, most of his goals with Lisbon came in the last minutes, when opponent lose a little focus....you changed him what did you got?...did u score??, no, and it's not the first time...be patient a little and stick to a sold plan, not be like a leaf in a wind and changing things on every flow.

Anish Posted 13 December 2016 Share Posted 13 December 2016 He's not Shinji yet we still lump it up to him and expect hin to chase and harry defenders. He's not that type of player. Nor is he a link man between midfield and attack, hence why he has a poor touch. If we actually had midfielders who could drive forward and create something he might actually look good. The service and support he is getting has been terrible and he's looked a worse player because of it. Just like Vardy this season. Our attackers are feeding off scraps because our midfield lacks creativity and attacking nous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtcity Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Slimani and vardy are both players that want to be the point of the attack hanging on the defenders shoulder.... playing either in the withdrawn role is a waste of time as neither have the technical abilities to skip past a few players and pick a pass, playing the pair of them together in the rigid system that doesn't look like changing is never going to work we have to play 1 or the other to see the benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched him closely tonight and was lacking in his overall game. He's an in-box-striker with woeful outfield skill. Lazy when it matters and lively when it doesn't. 29 MILLION WASTED imo! 5 Million player if ever I saw one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinneyHillRanger Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Either him or vardy should be playing up front with okazaki. Tbh with little rest I expected our performance level to drop against Bournemouth. Ranieri was in a no win situation if he changed the team setup drastically people would accuse him of tinkering a winning formula and if he didn't then we see the level of performance we saw. Ranieri should have been brave and done the right thing and bring okazaki into the team with vardy for this game then got slim on as a sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was lacking in their 'overall game' tonight. Very difficult for anyone to play well, especially strikers, when the rest of the team are functioning so poorly! First time I've ever heard Slimani called lazy too! If you rate him as a 5 million player, would love to know what you rate the rest of the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblcfc84 Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 From what I've seen so far, technically he looks pretty average - poor touch more often than not. Fair enough he hasn't had the service but last night he didn't seem to be able to get the ball under and make a good pass. I though ulloa was more effective in the limited time he got on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 We're obviously not using him correctly but he technically doesn't look great. When you're as crap as we are at the moment the front line players are always going to look poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
