We were dreadful period !!

[Bazly]

The Mercury ratings are funny. Huth on a 5, I don't think so.

Zieler 5

 

Simpson - 4

Huth - 2

Wes - 3

Fuchs - 2

 

Amartey - 4

King - 3

Albrighton - 3

Mahrez - 3.5

 

Slimani - 4

Vardy - 2

 

Subs - 7.5

 

Ranieri - 2

 

Gray and Shinji must start against Porto and Man City. Love Claudio to pieces but he's making a rod for his own back by persisting with tactics that clearly aren't working at all. We're the worst side in the league at the moment, no mistake about it. Dour tactics and management.

 

Desperate for him (and us) to sort ourselves out. 1 point from some very favourable fixtures and routinely humiliated by anybody further up the table. Crap.

[lgfualol]

Thought we were good in parts today. 

 

ZIeler 6 - decent saves 

Defence 4 - Total liabilities sometimes and too old. League 2 attacks could cause them problems. Simpson got destroyed. 

 

Albrighton 7 - best of the starters in my opinion, created a lot but faded in second half

Amartey 5

King 4  

Mahrez 3 - Had a lot more space than usual today but didn't look his normal self. Put in a bit of defensive work but no match for Sunderland's players

 

Slimani 6 - Gave the ball away a lot but put in a lot of effort and was strangely taken off 

Vardy 3 - Just depressing to watch him  used to set the tone for effort but that's gone

 

Okazaki and Gray 7's. Musa 4 - Every time he crosses the ball a kitten dies

[Realist Guy In The Room]

Thought we were bollocks against a poor side today which is disappointing to say the least.

 

Zieler 2 - At least half a dozen times the defenders hacked or sliced it clear instead of letting him collect it.  They quite obviously have no faith in him and its not hard to see why.  Total dogshit as a keeper.

 

Simpson 3 - Bullied all day and did nothing to stop crosses coming in.

 

Huth 2 - What he was doing for the first god only knows and why he takes it upon himself to charge out to try and win the ball 15 yards in front of the backline is just suicidal.

 

Morgan 3 - Back to the Morgan constantly sliding around on his arse.

 

Fuchs 5 - Joins in the attacks but doesnt have the pace to get back.  Not his fault but remaining solid should be our first priority.

 

Albrighton 5 - Did ok but faded out of the game once they sussed out that all he was looking for was the reverse ball.

 

Amartey 1 - Looks like he's been on the Special Brew.  Cant pass, head, tackle.  Looks slow and, well he's just shit isnt he?

 

King 2 - I love Kingy but that was an awful performance.  Looked scared to try anything.

 

Mahrez 3 - Seriously Riyad what's your ****ing problem?

 

Slimani 1 - I dont care what anyone says, this bloke is no better than Ulloa.  In fact i'd say he's worse.  £32m for this div.

 

Vardy 2 - Playing like he's got a copy of that book up his arse.  Totally let the limelight go to his head. 

 

Subs

 

Gray 6 - Looks like he gives a shit and needs to start the next couple of games.

 

Musa 1 - Doesnt even look like he can kick a ****ing football.

 

Shinji 6 - See Gray.

 

Claudio - Go.  Just ****ing go.  He doesnt know how to sort this out.  Yes he won us the league and we'll always love him for the perfect season but this is a different level of shit.

[Koke]

We paid £25.5m for Slimani + add ons. Not £32m. 

 

And to say he's not better than Ulloa is laughable His passing is erratic but every other aspect of Slimani's game is better than Ulloa.

[Chico1958]

Claudio - Go.  Just ****ing go.  He doesnt know how to sort this out.  Yes he won us the league and we'll always love him for the perfect season but this is a different level of shit.

 

And replace him with who ?

 

Fat Sam, Harry, both questionable on the Finance side

 

Someone said Dowie, is that how low we have got

 

Pearson, arrogant self serving nob

 

The owners won't put up with it much longer but as long as we're in the CL who know's ?

 

Claudio can stay, he can go when he wants to go................................. Blame the puppets not the puppet master.

[Maggie's town fox]

Said it last week and I will say it again. DROP Vardy + Mahrez, In with Gray and Shinji. How the bloody hell does Okazaki not start when he is our in form player. It's a bloody joke also about time Claudio shook up the defence, would be no worse with Benny + Woz. At least we face Man City next week with their best 2 players banned, pity the other 9 weren't sent off as well.

You're just simply wrong.  He's gash.

He's not gash, just never worth that money. At least he's contributed with the odd goal. Having said that I don't see how ulloa has just been pushed aside 

[Chester Dontlie]

ZIeler 6 - If it wasn't for a couple of his saves, we could be losing by a considerably bigger margin. Had absolutely no chance to pick out any of their goals. Also I liked when he went to their box in the added time  

Fuchsy 4 - another substandard game but he still can cross... sometimes 

Huth 2 - no comment

Morgan 4  - couple life-saving blocks first half, then very poor second half, so close from becoming a hero in the added time

Simpson 4 - poor

King & Amartey 1&2 - the vanishing midfielders. They neither help in defense nor create anything. We could as well put Wasyl in the centre, he might get sent off but at least he will show some fighting spirit. And he won't pass backward and sideways as often as these two  

Albrighton& Mahrez  4&4 - no idea what's wrong with them

Slim 5 - had a mediocre game, I like his working ethic but he needs to work on his passing skills

Vardy 3 - welll, he helped to win the corner in the end... what happened to you Vards 

Subs:

Okazaki 7 - brilliant goal, clever link up play, tries to close down the opposition, should be starting every game 

Gray 7 - great assist, hopefully he'll start more games as well

Musa 5 

 

Claudio 1 - His tactics and team selection made Sunderland look like Barcelona. In the first half the players weren't even pressing. The changes were too late, we were already trailing. I voted stay and probably won't vote go unless the worst happens, but I hope he'll reconsider his tactical plan and start picking players based on current form 

 

I was hoping that Boro game would be the catalyst for changes but it's increasingly more difficult to remain optimistic. 27 points to safety suddenly seems like a whole lot... How long can West Ham and Swansea underperform? I'm genuinely worried about Leicester now

Agree with all those scores - and comments.

Awesome argument. Oh and your post is utter bollox.

[WigstonWanderer]

For me, Albrighton & Amartey were at least trying which is more that I can say for Vardy.

 

Not sure what's up with Slimani, some really dodgy passing. Musa looked total rubbish.

 

Seriously poor performance. I can't think of another team in the PL that looks worse at the moment. Perhaps we need Tony Pulis. At least he knows how to play hoofball properly.

Not a great deal between them but Slim obviously has more to give, just hope its soon.

 

Not sure if erratic passing can be excused, fairly fundamental aspect of the game at any level.

Just like the team can't be ar$ed to put as shift in, I can't be ar$ed to rate them.....oh, OK I will...from the back...4,4,2 4,4,2 4,4,2 4 subs 4,4,2
