Wolfox Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 I hate it when we Leicester get dammmed with feint praise... 'work rate' 'passion' 'desire' We are quality and we have quality players capable of quality play... Marc epitomises what people don't understand about this team. Yes, he 'puts in a shift', but, he's a fine quality player, capable of taking on a player and fllaoating in the sweetest of sweet crosses... He's great and we are lucky to have him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 I really like Marc. He's an honest hardworking pro. When he hits form can be a decent creative influence. I just sometimes feel he's a little one dimensional cutting into traffic 'every time' regardless of the scenario. You can't cross it Marc when there's 4 players in front of you! Mix it up squire.

martyn Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Of all the improved performances since CR left, Albrighton's (along with Fuchs) form has seen the most dramatic turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have changed so much in so little time. Even more so now they are all playin great again... I think it will always remain a mystery but Ranieri must have been doing something very wrong for so many players to have changed so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton is consistently one of our most underrated players but Shakey obviously has faith in him. He put a massive shift in today and worked his bollux off. His passes and crosses don't always come off, but you can't fault his work rate and effort. He's a very valuable member of our team and I'm delighted he's found his form again... The Mahrez that has been slated all year long? Don't think Albrighton has ever not been a fan favourite, has he? I mean he's been shit for most of this year but I've never known anyone not appreciate his work rate and his professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick out any player thread and it's full of stupid comments like that from retards after bad games. Or if you're Col, after they've had a blinder. You'll find loads of people calling for him to play in match threads throughout the year and most of the season ticket holders I know love him.

EastAnglianFox Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Absolute filth of an assist, cant believe how many of the pundits have overlooked how good that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 18 March 2017 Share Posted 18 March 2017 Give me a worker any day and you'll see someone who makes mistakes. That's the nature of workers and Triers. I've loved Mark since he settled into the Team under Pearson. Good players make the simple things look easy. That's why very often they go unnoticed. The quality of his Goal against Seville was of the highest order. The confidence and level of skill he displayed by taking the Ball on his Chest ( inside the Box) controlling with his right to wrong foot the Keeper and score with his left. Is why I believe he is one of the first names on the Team sheet every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The whole world smiles Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 One of the greatest ever signings in my lifetime, I'm 32. And certainly the best ever free signing we have made. It's criminal he does not have an England cap or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - not sure what they were told to do by Claudio this season (I assume Fuchs and Simpson were told not to cross the half way line) - but have been excellent post-Ranieri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mantra " if its not broke dont fix it springs to mind" Both Shinji and Albrighton were v important for the team balance last year, and I read somewhere that CR seeming to look to ease them out of the first XI did cause tension in the dressing room. Marc has defensive and offensive qualities, it's just a bit sad that the inverted winger thing limits his undoubted crossing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Been absolutely sensational recently. Even beating his "great escape" form atm. His assist was pure filth. No idea how he's never even been given a chance for a run out for England in a friendly given some of the crap that's been picked ahead of him the past couple of years!

EnglishOxide Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 This guy is quality for us when given a bit of freedom. He has suffered this season exactly like Mahrez in that under Claudio he only ever received the ball in his own half and was therefore ineffective, but since the change he had shown his creativity and ability overall without compromising his defensive abilities. Sure, he's not as good as Mahrez in terms of pure ability and never will be, but at his best he has done enough to be a constant starter over Demarai until Demarai can improve on what Albrighton brings to the team.

waylander Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Always puts a shift in even when we were struggling . Would be the first name on my team sheet. Oh might be second or third . Or fourth or fifth . But he would be there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 He has been our best ever free transfer. Since he's arrived he's been instrumental in the great escape, winning the title and was our first ever scorer in the Champions League. Villa meanwhile languish in the Championship. On top of all this he's a great person too. Delighted he's playing so well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
