[Monsell1976]

Anyone gets above a 5 or 6 I would be very surprised.

 West Brom poor, officials poor, couldn't work out who's throw it was, allowed far to much time wasting.

 Shakespeare has to go.

 Vardy motm just for his effort.

[ZeGuy]

Kasper 4.5 Poor positionning on the Free Kick.

 

Fuchs 5.5

Morgan 6.5 Did the job and did it good.

Maguire 6.5 Class defender. Enjoy him while it lasts, because he's gone next summer.

Simpson 6 Defensively solid, as always. Forward crap, as always. Still, consistent perfomance.

 

Albrighton 5.5 Tried a lot with little success. Put a shift defensively, but very inaccurate forward

Ndidi 6 played well.

Iborra 6 For a first start in a damned midfield two? Got the job done. Head and shoulders above King

Mahrez 6.5 Missed a sitter but scored at the end of the day. Main attack threat, as always. Undroppable atm, suck on it haters.

 

Vardy 5.5 quiet game. 

Nacho 5 I refuse to write him off. We play dogshit football with no plan and no ball on the floor. No wonder he looked a bit lost on the pitch. His association with Vardy doesn't look promising though. Another player who's used to play with people who actually don't treat the ball like a bomb and called crap by the FT experts. Would be better off if combined with Slim.

 

Subs

Chilly 6. Good cross to Slim for the goal. WB and no RB. 

Slim 6 Proving game after game why he should actually play more and how much of a threat he is in the penalty box. Some will cry if Watford or Everton come for him in January.

King N/A ????

 

Shakey 4.I lost it when he subbed King on with 3-4 minutes left. He wanted to save the draw no matter what. I voted go. The PL is more than he can chew atm. 

 

Ref 6 Was okay. WBA's GK should have gotten a red.

 

WBA 5.5  Came for a point and got it.

[sm1]

Kasper 4 - mistake ridden game

Simpson & Fuchs 5 - defensively ok, but Simpson just can't pass. Also seemed to be carrying some extra weight. Fuchs slow all round today

Morgan 6 - Good game but like Simpson hoofs the ball away too often

Maguire 7 - Defensively good, but also took on the responsibility to carry the ball forward, because neither of our mids could be bothered to.

Ndidi & Ibora 5 - both were pretty average, but seem to be the best we have currently

Albrighton 5 - put a shift in as always but his passing & crossing was off today.

Mahrez 6 - Lively with the ball and our most skillful player. One mark deducted for the missed chance.

Vardy 6 - absolutely no service but still put in 100% effort and tried to make things happen. 

Nacho 2 - Wondered around the pitch like a lost sheep who didn't give a fvck about the game. Capped the match by giving the ball away when it looked like we had a good counter attack opportunity, which then lead to the West Brom goal. Reminded me of Schlupp's performances last season. Truly terrible, that's another Nigerian that's had our pants down.

Slim 6 - looked hungry and was all over the place, both wings and in the middle. Hope to see more of him in the next few games.

Chillwell 6  - another good cameo. Really needs a run in the team to develop his game.

Shakey 4 - poor tactics and should have taken Nacho off sooner. Redeemed himself a little by changing the system.

 

[Chester Dontlie]

Kasper 4 - poor passing, didn't even move towards the the ball defending the free kick 

Simpson 5  - defensively ok had one good attacking run but his passing was atrocious. He would make a great RB if he only could pass
Fuchs 5 - so-so, his passing was as bad as Simpsons, very disappointing from Fuchsy 
Morgan 7 -  rock 
Maguire 8 - MOTM. flawless in defense and what's most embarassing was our best attacking option. Two shots on goal, if I'm not mistaken that's 50% of our total, ffs! A pity none of them went in. This lad is a treasure.
Ndidi & Vince - 6 & 6 Both could do much better. Ndidi needs to improve his passing a bit. Vince is still a bit rusty - that was his first start though, he's still trying to gel with the team. At least he is capable of thinking on the pitch, can pass, he's comfortable on the ball, gets in positions and doesn't disappear from the game - which is a massive improvement on a certain club legend. The two of them just need to play together week in week out so they'll know each other better. 
Albrighton 7 - dangerous on the wing and tireless, did really well
Mahrez 6 - Poor first half, missed a great scoring opportunity, only started playing better after they scored. Well done for scoring the only goal but for every 2-3 nice touches each game he has twice as many frustrating moments. Instead of carrying the team, he's often being carried
Vards 6 - Ran a lot but little came of it. Won a free kick. Slightly disappointing
Nacho 3 - Had a very poor game but let's give him time. Surely he can do much better than that. I'm not sure he should be starting over Shinji and Slim though. Looks unfit and suspiciously short on confidence, I wonder what's wrong. He isn't nearly as fast as I though he would be
Slim 6 - Good sub. Active, aggressive, well done Slim shady!
Chillwell 6  - decent, showed some much needed urgency in attack

Shakey 4 - OUT. Not good enough. We need another shake up and the sooner it happens the better. I think we were lucky to draw this. If they had a proper striker like Vardy instead of Rodriguez who kept falling over or losing ball all the time we wouldn't even get a point. What was that King for Iborra substitution about? Shakes only knows
 

[fairbanksh]

Kasper 4 positioning pooragain

Simpson 5 not a fan defensively not all that gets played round a lot

Morgan 6 ok but not a captain 

Maguire 7. really good defender

Fuchs 5 big fan but really sloppy game

Ndidi 7 good player but too much asked in a two

Iborah 6 still improving far more of a captain than Wes

Albrighton 6 can’t fault the effort but impact not all that

Nacho 5 lost 

Vardy 6 no sevice whatsoever but still lots of effort 

Mahrez 7 still by far our best outlet

but lacking in confidence I feel 

Subs

Slimani 7 needs a plan b to play to his strengths 

Chillwell 7 surely could be tried in a 3

Shakey 3 really poorly set up team yet again For his part responsible for club currently going backwards

Ref 5 he’s Mike Dean!!

WBA 6 

[Guest]

Most of the team were average.

 

Morgan and Maguire above average

 

Kasper, Mahrez poor

 

Fuchs very poor

 

Slim and Chilwell best overall

[Redouane]

Maguire was insane! How can you people be giving him 5-6? He was a beast in defence, a beast in midfield and a beast in attack.

 

He will definitely get poached by a top European contender in the coming years

[Koke]

Maguire defended well and actually took initiative and carried the ball out. If we had a creative midfielder in front of him he would look even better. MOTM.

 

This squad actually has some good players but shame we have a shit for brains manager.

[Fox92]

Kasper 4 - Terrible distrubition at times and should not be conceding free kicks from that range

 

Simpson 6

Maguire 7

Fuchs 4 - I'll keep on saying it, he's no better than Chilwell

[M0901]

I must've been watching a different game but I thought Morgan was brilliant...

 

Proper warrior's performance with some vital blocks and tackles, and loved his rugby tackle on Dawson in the corner of the pitch.

 

Maguire, Chilwell and Slimani all with good displays. Ndidi and Simpson okay, Front two poor.

[Outfox the Fox]

Schmeichel - 5 - generally OK, but at times did look a bit dodgy today (not just for the goal)

Simpson - 6 - defended as well as ever and had a great shot, that should have got a goal

Morgan - 6 - still a man mountain (in defence and attack), if only he had some pace

Maguire - 6 - hard working, good attacking instincts and decent recovery, but he commits himself far too early and forgets about his prime duties and where he should be spending most of his time

Fuchs - 5 - as Schmeichel

Mahrez - 6 - still flatters to deceive, wonderful in parts, woeful in others

Ndidi - 7 (MotM) - without him we just wouldn't have any midfield this season. At times clumsy and began to foul too much in the second half, but he was on his own for most of the match, having to cover the whole of the midfield and protect the defence and simply ran out of steam

Iborra - 4 - poor, far too slow, too negative, can't play any pass other than sideways or backwards; simply nowhere near Premier standard

Albrighton - 6 - worked as hard as ever, without much reward. Covered so much ground on the left and the right and genuinely looks like he may be able to do a job as a Right Wing Back

Iheanacho - 3 - absolutely woeful - the phrase, "wheres the money gone", keeps coming back to mind. How he is worth anything near £25m, I don't know. Add him to the list of awful buys for big money recently (Musa, Slimani, Iborra). He's got no pace, no control, no brain, no physicality, no passion, no desire to compete, no idea!

Vardy - 6 - as Albrighton, worked his socks off, with no reward. Not his best game today, but we would be totally lost without him 

 

Slimani - 5 - he's a big bruiser with no great skill, but he can do a couple of things well - unfortunately, one of those (head a ball), only works if it is served up on a plate for him and he doesn't have to move!

Chilwell - 6 - did make a difference when he came on. Like Mahrez, he can be wonderful and woeful in just a few short minutes. However, we have a great Left Wing Back in he making - if we ever decide to use that system!

King - N/A - not on long enough to say, but you can bet your bottom dollar,that he will be back in again for the Swansea game (despite never really justifying his place), simply because we don't have any other options

 

Shakespeare - 4 - disastrous initial team selection and formation. Why he ever persevered with 4-4-2 when it has proved so useless this season, I don't know. Why he stuck with it last night for so long, I don't know. Why he played Iheanacho, when the only attacking success this season (Okazaki) was on the bench, I don't know. I would have given him a 3, but for the fact that he did (eventually) go to 3-5-2, tried the Wing Back formation and got some reward for it. I so hope he starts with that system for Swansea, otherwise, bye-bye Shaky! 

[ZeGuy]

Can see Shakey breaking Ranieri's record at the vote of confidence.

[Guest MattP]

Schmeichel - 4 - Put us in trouble on a couple of occasions and despite it being a good free kick I have no idea what he was doing, did a two step then just watched it go in.

Simpson - 7 - Probably our best player on the night, didn't go anything wrong.

Morgan - 6 - Solid although had little to do, can't knock his performance.

Maguire - 6 - Literally the only signing we have made in the last three years who has actually been an improvement on what we have got.

Fuchs - 4 - Thought he was pretty bad for most of the match, his head and heart don't seem to be in it anymore.

Mahrez - 6 - Not at his best but again the only man we have who can properly scare the opposition, touch and finish was magnificent for the goal.

Ndidi - 4 -First half OK, second half he was Junior Lewis, as soon as he had to pass forward it was comical at times, can't blame King today for it.

Iborra - 4 - Made me want to get my boots on, looks like the 37 year old veteran who has been dragged out the bar and is 5 years behind.

Albrighton - 6 - Thought he was pretty good, had nothing to work with and was more than capable at RWB.

Iheanacho - 4 - We have had our pants pulled down, first touch is laughable and clear as day he only scored goals because he had numerous geniuses supplying him at Man City. Okazaki in next game.

Vardy - 6 - Feel for him and I think he'll be asking for a move soon, which would leave us in big trouble.

 

Slimani - 7 - Should have been on a lot earlier given we started to toss balls into the box, lovely assist.

Chilwell - 7 -In this system he is excellent, fully expect him to start on Saturday.

King - N/A - What the point of this was I still don't know.

 

Shakespeare - 6 - He's clearly out of his depth but I do feel sorry for the bloke, been totally hung out to dry behind the scenes and trying to get a decent centre midfield together out of this lot when none of them are good enough is an impossible task.

 

I've mentioned this a couple of times but the Sky stats last night had us covering 7 kilometres less than West Brom over the match, we've got some very lazy players in the team now.

[Sunbury Fox]

Staggered that some people are giving West Brom 6 out of 10! Thought they were dire. Only had 7 touches in our penalty area in the whole game, with their goal being their only shot on target. If that's the way a mid sized club has to play to consolidate itself in this division, I'd rather be relegated. 

[Captain...]

5 for Kasper - poor distribution and Nacho - He is not Okazaki and can't expect him to play that role, then he tried to do too much with what little possession he had.

 

7 for Maguire and Iborra - thought he looked very classy an upgrade on our other midfielders, but he hasn't learnt the Leicester way of hopefully punt forwards and praying Vardy makes something out of nothing. Had a calming influence in the middle and helped us keep possession and not looked scared of the ball.

 

7s for Chilwell  and Slimani as they came on and changed the game.

 

8 - Albrighton, thought he was superb, covered every blade of grass, great defensively, put some dangerous balls in but Vardy and Nacho were no match for West Brom's defense.

 

The rest 6

 

Shakespeare  - 7 and stay, a bit late now, but I thought the tactics were right, we didn't just lump balls at Evans and co, we kept the ball tried to work openings and restricted them to very few chances. If Mahrez had tucked away that sitter, or Nacho hadn't had a brain fart we would have walked away winners I'm sure of it. We were the better team all game. He reacted well to going a goal down, changed the subs he was preparing and changed the formation, his subs got us back into the game and rescued a point. The King substitution was a weird one.

[jayfox26]

Cant believe people are giving WBA ratings above 5. They were absolutely disgusting to watch. We huffed and puffed and weren't great but at least we actually tried to win the game. I get teams parking the bus against the top 6 but playing away to a team of a similar standard and making little attempt to attack is embarrassing. Teams like them give the prem a bad name. Would love them to go down but won't happen as Pulis will keep scraping his boring 1-0's and 0-0's.
