UPinCarolina Posted 2 January 2017 Posted 2 January 2017 Mostly 6s - 7 for Morgan, Huth, Kasper, Amartey. MOTM Huth. Boro gets a 6. Ref got an 8.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Huth easily motm. Mahrez and Musa lowest rated
Aus Fox Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Huth MotM 6 all around 7Kasper, Mendy and King 8 Huth 4 for Boro 8 for the ref
Guest ttfn Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Schmeichel 7 Simpson 6 Huth 8 Morgan 6 Fuchs 8 Amartey 5 Mendy 5 King 8 Mahrez 4 Okazaki 5 Ulloa 4 Boro 4 Ref 7 Ranieri 2 for ambition, 9 for execution of what appeared to be his plan, so let's call it 5.5
Dickov22 Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Kasper 8 Can't remember him making many saves but he's fast turning into our most important player Simpson 6 Thought he did fine Morgan 6 Loses a mark for that poor header in the second half but otherwise untroubled and solid Huth 8 One of his best games for us MOTM Fuchs 6 Up against a quick opponent but did ok. Tried to get forward King 5 Tried hard but invisible once again Mendy 5 I must have watched a different game to most, thought he seemed very limited in what he could do Amartey 7 He looks awkward on the ball but I thought he did ok, especially first half. Intercepted a lot. Needs more confidence when further up the pitch Mahrez 5 Poor game from him but he did keep trying to make things happen Okazaki 3 Terrible as he has been in most games this season. Loses the ball so often Ulloa 6 Thought the formation set him up to fail. No service at all but kept going subs: 6 for Gray and Albrighton (if both had started we would have won that game). 1 for Musa; he is not a footballer. 1 for Ranieri- the gulf in our performances from last season is astounding. I have no idea how he thought we would score a goal with that formation and if he's playing for a point at Middlesbrough then that's a sad indication of the level we are now at. Starting to wonder if he just got extremely lucky last season and how much influence Shakey and Walsh had on team selections and tactics. This season has been awful . I didn't expect a title challenge but with the money we spent and the amount of good players we have, we should be top 10 easily. Thought the referee was good.
davieG Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 For a player often maligned by some fans for his physicality, King made seven tackles – more than anyone else on the pitch – three interceptions and two clearances.

Mahrez and Musa lowest rated You got to be joking, Okazaki was a waste of a shirt, hardly got involved, at least Mahrez tried to get something going, but it's hard when you win the ball, look up and you have the whole team behind you.
kingfox Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 7 - Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Mendy, Amartey, King 6 - Schmeichel, Fuchs 4 - Okazaki, Ulloa 3 - Mahrez
Fox92 Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Schmeichel 7 Simpson 6 Huth 8 - Solid. Morgan 6 Fuchs 6 Amartey 6 Mendy 6 King 5 - The amount of times he should turn and release a player is unreal. Mahrez 4 - Lack of something going on but then again Ulloa/Okazaki are not fast so it's different. Okazaki 5 Ulloa 7 - Did all he could. Won his headers, linked up ok and chased the ball. Nobody was ever close to him for him to knock down too.
TheSomersetFox Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Mahrez harshly rated because of what people expect of him rather than his actual performance yet again. Played a couple of great first time passes to set up counters and to try and get us in behind, only player who used the ball well when he had any support.
AKCJ Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Schmeichel - 5 - Nothing to do all game. Simpson - 4 - Made George Friend look like Gareth Bale. Morgan - 7 - Would have been an 8 but for that disaster that went unpunished at the end. Huth - 8 - Very solid. Nothing got by him. Fuchs - 8 - Shame Chilwell isn't a right back because Fuchs is too good for him to break into the side more permanently. Mendy - 7 - Misplaced some passes and looked knackered at the end but that can be forgiven. Really do think we've got a good lad here. Amartey - 7 - Solid display without doing anything too fancy. To think he's only 21, he's going to be a wonderful footballer. King - 7 - I thought he put a right shift in, wasn't anonymous at all. Peach of a cross that Ulloa should have gambled for. Mahrez - 3 - He's performed once in that central role. Once in about a hundred times. Put him on the wing, let him drift out of the game because he can ruin a fullback one vs one whenever he feels like it. He's a luxury worth having on the right wing. When he's one vs two (or more), he struggles, in the centre De Roon just stuck to him all game. Shinji - 5 - Worked his arse off but nothing bounced his way. Ulloa - 4 - Little service and poor movement meant he was anonymous but he should have scored that corner. I'm sure that Slimani would have. None of the subs influenced the game enough for me.
kingcarr21 Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Few harsh critics on Ulloa. Won the ball a fair few times and closed down players well. Maybe a 6 but certainly not as low as a 4

Ulloa did very well, all he could, but has been harshly rated. Ranieri got it wrong; our set up was all wrong. I'd argue that Mahrez shouldn't have even played in that team as we were never going to get behind Middlesbrough with Ulloa on his own.

However the team did absolutely nothing to help him (or rather, Ranieri didn't set up in a way that gets the best out of him)

When i see Mahrez getting 3/4's and Ulloa/Shinji getting a couple of ratings higher for similar performances though... I don't get it. I see why people do it, Mahrez influenced yesterday's game with good touches and moments here and there then drifted out of the game for a bit. But he showed more class than the other forward players imo. I gave them all 6's personally, did what they could in their own ways in a system that was never going to suit any of them.

I don't think that a 4 is that harsh, he definitely was poor. However the team did absolutely nothing to help him (or rather, Ranieri didn't set up in a way that gets the best out of him) First half he won loads of headers and made a fair few tackles defensively. That to me warranted at least a 6. He can only do so much with what's supplied to him. If 6 is average + and 5 is average - then where is the average mark? If we don't have 1 to choose from then as far as i'm concerned 6 is the average mark. 'He definitely was poor' is your opinion and one I don't fully agree with. Considering he had no service whatsoever he did all that he could to help the team defensively. We all have different views on a players performance. I'm not saying I am right and you are wrong its all a matter of opinions but I do think a 4 is a massive kick in the teeth and very harsh. Even your reason for giving him a 4 is he was anonymous cause he had no service. Surely that's not his fault? EDIT. Sorry I reread your post. He had little service and poor movement (not no service as I thought you had wrote before I double checked) I still stand by the fact that I believe a 4 is harsh.
RowlattsFox Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Mahrez had some good runs but was he either fouled (usually by Clayton) or was just crowded out because no-one is ever with him. He doesn't get the space when he is running from central areas. Ulloa works hard but is too slow to really effect the game, he's always just that little bit behind where he is needed to be. Okazaki was terrible and offered nothing. I don't think the top 3 really new where they were playing. The 3 in the middle did ok but one of them needs to take control, either by driving with the ball or attempting to be creative. Centre backs solid but Boro tactics perfect for them.

Totally agree, Riyad getting some undeserved bashing on here today. I really think he tried but he can't beat 5 men on his own. Worst performance I've ever seen from Shinji yesterday and Leo was Leo. Not sure why he doesn't stay up front. Riyad was consistently our furthest player forward. Midfield 3 all played ok and as @davieg points out Kingy was doing a good screening job. It's just a shame that's what Dan A and Papy were there for too. Really missed that link between midfield and attack (and the one time Kingy drove forward as we know he can, no one gambled on his cross), and we had no width to provide an outlet. Ref was decent. Boro were poor in final third (thankfully).
sm1 Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 8 Ref (motm) 7 Huth & King - dominated the midfield, best player on the pitch. 6 Kasper, Simpson, Fuchs, Mendy, Amartey & Ulloa 5 Morgan, Mahrez & Claudio 4 Shinji - completely anonymous. We basically played with 10 men for most of the game.
FireFox Posted 3 January 2017 Posted 3 January 2017 Can't believe some are giving the ref such a high rating. He was decent, but hardly good - missed a clear pen for them. Maybe people are just rating him too highly because he wasn't so bad like recent refs?

Thought he was refreshing compared with recent refs. Got most things right IMO, but pen could have gone either way.

okie fox Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 17 hours ago, FireFox said: missed a clear pen for them. It would be a harsh penalty since Huth was standing still. He is entitled to his space on the field. In the old days the ref might have given an indirect free kick inside the penalty area for obstruction, but that doesn't happen anymore
okie fox Posted 4 January 2017 Posted 4 January 2017 Huth 8, Grey, Albrighton 7, rest 6 apart from Fuchs 5 (Traore too fast for him), Musa 5, Okazaki 4 (too weak)
