foxy boxing Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Slimani and Musa, both came here after scoring loads for their previous clubs and with huge price tags and have just not delivered YET on what we expected of them both but they still have chances to prove themselves here and in this league and we all hope that they will deliver the goods at some point!

FoxinNotts Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Slimani is a very good striker. He hasn't really been given a prolonged run in our team, as we don't really play a system in which he slots straight into. Vardy would have to change his role in the team to accommodate Slimani's inclusion. Or, simply swap out Vardy for Slim via substitution or rotate them. Forget price tags. We have two very good international strikers, fitting for a team still in the champions league. Just enjoy it. In two or-so seasons time this probably won't be the case. It's just a shame that it appears we can't really play them together effectively. I'd rather we concentrated on getting in a proper no10 to play with Slim/Vardy, to slot into the Okazaki position.

Blue Collar Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 18 hours ago, coolhandfox said: He is a mistake, a result of a poorly planned summer recruitment program, were we failed to buy one player who strengthen the 11! He's a spearhead striker, we already had Vardy, how many clubs play with two strikers now days? We didn't need him, or Musa! However unless the club are willing to lose a massive amount of money, we are struck with him! When you consider Liverpool got Mane, Man City got Jesus for a similar price! Let be honest, we have had a scandalous season in the transfer market! I think he will be off to China and LCFC will make a profit. Or they can bundle him with Mahrez in a BOGOF offer. The club will at least learn their lesson and never purchase a player for more than 400.000 pounds unless they are absolutely convinced that he is the next Mane or Jesus who have already achieved so much.

Wymsey Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Often looks clueless, though he can be unstoppable in set-piece plays. Like Okazaki, can either be poor or superb, and no in-between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 He was really poor today. I do think he's got something to offer but probably not in a counter attacking team. Our transfers this summer have got to do down as our worst of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl the Llama Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Put in the graft for sure but that miss was shocking. Dude needs to score: That was the sort of chance that you miss if you're nervous but you put away without even thinking when you're on it, we just need to get Slim back on it.

the fox Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Oh boy, the coming two weeks will be toxic, but to be fair, he wasn't good, misplaced a couple of passes and missed a one on one ( but so did vardy and Carroll). But he at least put a shift and a couple of tackles in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokes Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 I didn't think he was that bad, he isn't really a one on one striker. But he put himself about a bit and bought us time. Which is more than you can say for that fraud Musa who was horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree, he desperately needs a goal. After that horrible sitter against Derby and the one on one against Swansea he seems to have lost confidence in front of goal.

Most of the people here can't wait for one of his mistakes to happily pull the trigger. Completely obssessed by a price tag he didn't set. I wish him to go.

desertfox2 Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Just a confidence thing I think he will come good. Yeah, he should have scored and would have had he been full of confidence, can't write him off just yet. He does press and puts in a shift the rest will come. Vardy has missed some chances he should have scored in the past couple of games. So even the best miss chances at times. Ayew missed a sitter too. It happens. If either of our 2 starters get a knock then we will be glad we have Slimani in the squad. Give him time. My patience is running out with Musa though.... Should be settled in by now and if anything seems to be getting worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oedipa Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 It's obvious why we bought him: Champions League goals, off the boot of Algerian team mate Mahrez, which he provided. Teams were always going to sit back and let us play it into the box this year, especially if we had Vardy and Okazaki up front. So we needed a big man who could lean on them and hurt them for it. He's proven good at that. Obviously I expect a £30m player to be able to do more than just head it. But he's an improvement on Ulloa, who can't trap a bag of cement. Speaking of, is it time for a thread about Premier League players with a touch like a baby elephant? Leonardo may have scored some important goals (with his head mostly), but I'll be damned if I can understand how a player can get near to that level with such terrible ball control. Slimani's better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
