He put some other threatening crosses in, and made some good challenges in our third. Did a lot of defensive work positionally too. Definitely a player who has taken a step back this season. Don't forget he played almost every game last year on the left hand side, but he did look a lot better on the right today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we know it is his tactic, and it worked amazingly last season. But it hasn't been working that well this season, and with a striker like Slimani, we should be getting quality crosses into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sober mate, my opinion is, he's did better than he has, but he's been that awful, it's not hard to be better. If you take his performance compared to his last say 10, he was great, for him, but still not great. To me he isn't in form or confident, looks leggy, and I will stick by what I posted, I would take him out of the firing line, and rest him, we have other options.

Didn't want to try to 'hide' the 2 of 11 when one was headed onto the post and the other into the net. Also was Rob Tanner's MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm saying, he's played far worse, Not saying he played poorly, but for me wasn't great, and didn't do enough to warrant keeping his place.

dedlock Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 A peach of a cross for the goal. Not long after that he made a well timed tackle in our penalty area, the sort of thing Andy King does that gets largely ignored. In common with his teammates he was less impressive second half.

Babylon Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 Incredible ball for the goal and a good finish. I was waiting for that last week, I was slating them both so much I expected them to shut me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 Did anyone notice whenever Payet switched flanks, Albrighton also switched flanks and helped nullify him? Very smart tactics from Claudio, we are lucky to have a winger with the attributes of Albrighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzinderFox Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 Bar a few misplaced passes in the first half I thought he played really well today, really put in a shift and was quite positive going forward too -More so than usual. Slimani really needs Albrighton more than any other player to be on his game and supply him with a steady flow of decent crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Dog Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 Certainly a better player when played on the right, and so he should be with a player like Slimani in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 Much better - which isn't a surprise given he played primarily on the right. Superb cross for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimateWinner Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 MOTM today, so much better on the right, without having to cut inside he can exploit defenders who haven't got their man yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lako42 Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 Funny how Leicester fans say they just need their players to give 100% and they will be happy. Albright on gave everything for the team today and people still slag his passing and crossing stats off. A player like him will always give the ball away but he works his bollocks off and today his delivery was the difference between 1 and 3 points. We need to give players credit where its due when they give 100% regardless of outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give players credit where its due when they give 100% regardless of outcome. Today he was great, got back well and looked dangerous... can't see how anyone can question him too much. However he hasn't had anywhere near that level of performance often this season, one assist says it all. I would love him to continue like he did today, being on the right certainly made him more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancognito Posted 31 December 2016 Share Posted 31 December 2016 The opinions on here You'd think we were talking about Josh Low or Lee fvcking Philpott. Albrighton has suffered more than anyone with our reverse winger system which hopefully is finally being put to bed as an old and sussed out idea. Yes, he has the occasional bad game, yes, some crosses are wayward but I wish the likes of Mr Ballon D'or put as much effort in as he does. He tracks back, made a great tackle on Payet in the box and even beat two men to recover his own shit pass at one point. Some of the opinions here, even when he's been MOTM in a lot of people's eyes are just ridiculous. He got dropped earlier in the season and Schlupp came in and showed us just how shit awful a winger can be. And credit to Albrighton as being one of the few who actually stops to applaud the fans too. Half the team sprinted off and were probably half way through the shower gel by the time he went off the pitch. It's nice for players to give a shit.

Good post, You know whatever the situation he will give his all and the same can't be said for everyone this year. Today was his best game of the season up there with Bruges away. The cross for the goal, the cross for the sitter Slim missed, his defensive work, he skinned players left right and centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
