He NEVER affects the play when he comes on. One screamer against a United side when we're 4-0 up and apparently he's the saviour.

sk3since03 Posted 18 December 2016 Share Posted 18 December 2016 I'll admit to being a fan of Albrighton's but Grey has to start ahead of him from now one no question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbtcity Posted 18 December 2016 Share Posted 18 December 2016 It's a shame vardy didn't hold out a bit before getting sent off as albrighton looked pretty tidy in a 3 Man midfield for the whole 5 odd mins once ranieri shook it up and went 4-3-1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad biker Posted 18 December 2016 Share Posted 18 December 2016 Tricky one to call is Demari, wouldn`t start him ahead of Albrighton at the moment due to his lack of defensive qualities, he was absolutely awful in Porto as well, hardly pushing Claudio for a start, is clearly a very talented lad though, quick, direct and skilfull, hope he stays patient as I see an exiting future for him with us.

Lovejoy Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 I get the manager wasn't taking today's game seriously, but I had to raise an eyebrow when he brought Albrighton on today. One goal and two assists in the entire calendar ear of 2016 is pony, never ever going to help us win the game from the bench. The myth that he is any good is baffling, I just pray that Gray was withdrawn to save him for Wednesday and this clown doesn't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 Couldn't believe we didn't move him to right back once Wague got injured and move Amartey centre back. Instead we brought on a like for like defender for must keep things simple, later taking off Gray for Vardy, and who scores the winner? Their right back. Would he have been all that way forward if Gray was still on? I doubt it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretPro Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 He's a fraud. People fall for his running around and aiming punts towards the box. His end product is actual crap, he loses the ball a hell of a lot and his whingy little face needs a slap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc old boy Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 i cannot understand how he even gets on the bench,,the commentator said Leicester are bringing him on for his crossing abilitys 89th minute Leicester corner floats it into the box no pace no swerve the goalie plucks the ball out of the sky, shocking corner 90th minute goal to millwall,it was not just today hes been like it all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtillidrop Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 Easy to get on his case but he helped us survive and win the league in previous years. Offers more when we don't have the ball than Gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMELcfc Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 His work rate can never normally be questioned but last couple of games he's been dog. He looks like he's even starting to give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanlegend Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 Steve Walsh (the scout) once said it's not necessarily about what you do with the ball but more importantly it's what you do without the ball. Sums up Albrighton. Hard working honest professional. If we had 11 Albrightons we wouldn't be in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 18 February 2017 Share Posted 18 February 2017 In a few ways, he can be a poor man's James Milner. What made me question in particular was why he sometimes tried to cover the wingers but fails to tackle much etc. Didn't where to put but scouts have monitored winger Jonathan Cafu most recently. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4237692/Leicester-Everton-West-Ham-send-scouts-watch-Cafu.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray needs to improve his decision making and learn to pass the ball as creatively as he sometimes crosses the ball. He's got talent but it's raw as gold in an underground seam. The other thing he needs is greater strength, stamina and the determination to do damage at every opportunity. Our coaches should be working on the details of it day in and day out. To such an extent that the lad wouldn't recognise himself by the start of next season. Chilwell the same. He's another with such talent and is clearly a good, strong athlete. But he's so soft mentally and so prone to momentary lapses of concentration. Again, the club should be working on those things. Conditioning games to strengthen his mind and his relentlessness. Faults are there to be improved in every player but I don't see evidence that we're working on them any more than our approach to dead ball situations. I don't care if it means extra time at the training ground. Either players want to be the best they can or they should take up something more sedate, As for Albrighton needing a rest, I've never known a first team footballer ever "want" a rest. He needs revitalising and refocusing. He needs someone to make him feel young again and eager to improve some more. By upping his crossing accuracy and improving the incisiveness of his ground passes. They might even get him to relish a tackle more, but that wouldn't be a priority, simply a bonus. PS: I wrote this without noticing his passing stats at the top of the thread but they serve to prove my point exactly. The bloke's operating at half-throttle and should be working up to 75% accuracy minimum. It's not unrealisitic it's creating reasons to concentrate on the training ground and improve. .

Fox92 Posted 19 February 2017 Share Posted 19 February 2017 I can see why Pearson never played him for a while. People talk about "defensive ability" and "work rate" - I just don't see it. His end product is horrific. Yet again though it seems the manager just wanted to bring him on. Albrighton was nowhere near as effective as Gray or Kapustka.
