Suzie the Fox Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Missed 1st half. 2nd half - not much to shout about at all... I guess they were all knackered and sweaty
TheMightySystem Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Nice to see we have stopped closing teams down.
eunmac Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Yes he faded in that game, but still want Mahrez to stay.

Always looked taller, we were in for him before, Just wanted his name more than anything to see if we are still linked anywhere. Think we definitely need to sell: Musa, Mahrez, King (or loan, not much point though) Probably Ulloa as we will never play to suit him. Need CB, CM, Winger, Striker
Chelve84 Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 We desperately lack any sort of creativity and need to address this asap because we can't keep the ball never mind build an attack. Ulloa musa Lawrence just are not good enough and although I rate slimani he just doesn't fit our style. We need a proper number 10 who can in pockets of space and play some killer passes. We have too many similar midfielders now. They can all pass side to side and back but haven't got the intelligence to drive with the ball and play a incisive pass. We need to invest and get rid of the fringe players that just don't suit us

He's not had the best season last season i'll give you that, but we've had so many terrible backup strikers over the years here who couldn't do anything i'm more than happy with his contribution Each to their own I suppose, but I don't rate him at all...

Dan Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 There is zero creativity what so ever without Mahrez. If we lose him and don't replace him properly then we'll struggle.
UniFox21 Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Nothing too glaringly wrong at either end, vardy had a few he could've put away which will come with games, nothing too bad at the back. Only issue being lacking creativity once mahrez and albrighton went off
tsintskaro Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 There is noone in midfield who can actually do something useful in attack zero creativity

A good career with Sevilla but never mind let's dump him

We need to pursue someone else instead of sigurdson desperately Dynamism as much as creativity. Any team can create chances if they see enough of the ball. We need an energetic, athletic, strong sort of player in midfield instead of King if we want to continue with our high energy dependant system, just someone who can create counter attacks as well as skipping past a player or two.
Guest Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Considering most players had only had 45 mins of pre-season match time before that I was very happy with it. The first half team were much better than the second half team. Ulloa for Vardy sums that up. Maguire gets my player of the match. Thought James had a good one too.

That's my main issue with him, Iborra, Leo... all far too plodding. No edge to them.
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Hard to judge from two friendly openers in energy sapping conditions with lots of changes in both games. But here goes as a few thoughts: Need RB back up for Simpson Maguire is already looking a great signing Ndidi is class but we need a complementary creative player in midfield James possibly offers much more than Drinkwater or King Iheanacho is needed! Need to ditch some players Need to keep Mahrez

Genuinely, we look solid (I don't think we'll concede a lot) but we ain't got enough goals in us. If we play the Arsenal of today, that might be ok....
KingsX Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Early days. My biggest individual concern is DD ... the assumption seems to be that a bounce back season is guaranteed, but I didn't see any bounce. I may "bounce" the Boudebouz thread, we could have used that type today.

kingfox Posted 22 July 2017 Posted 22 July 2017 Drinkwater continuing his shit form from last season, no way should he start the opening game against Arsenal. If we end up keeping Ulloa over Slimani, it will be one of the worst decisions will ever make. King's time is up, he offers nothing.
