HankMarvin Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 way down on interceptions and Pereira is ahead on tackles

His passing accuracy statistics are very misleading, as I'd not be far wrong when I suggest that a fair proportion of those successful passes are sideways or backwards. And don't get me started on his shooting boots. He wore them once for his long range strike against Stoke City at home, but other than that, I'd much prefer he leave the goalscoring instinct to those with better scoring reputations. Row Z near enough every time. Yeah, fully agree. Did you guys see the pass after he got a pass at the edge of the opposition box as part of a decent build up with 5 or so players in forward positions ready to make a decent move? What did he do? He instantly hit it back all the way to Morgan who was nearly at the half way line? Fans laughed and booed him. Unbeleivable.

Held the whole midfield together. Lucas Torreira probably comes closest. His fellow countryman Nandez should be on our shortlist. Kante was and is an absolute gem. Cant believe we could not keep him after winning the title. I do feel that it was a let down by him. Yes, he did win again with Chelsea, but why would you not want to stick around with your brothers whom you just won the league together in an unbelievable season? Unless you don’t treasure your brothers. I guess he didn’t. Vardy should be made a club director in the future. He is loyal and a great man.
Dan Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 He's been so poor lately. Wonder if it's confidence with him. I do like Ndidi and think he'd be in my strongest XI but he either needs time out, or god forbid, a change of this dire system that he isn't suited to.
ealingfox Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 Ndoggo more like. We've done him in - he's a good player with bags of potential but he's not had good coaching here and he's regressed big time. Don't even think it's his fault.

The combination of Ndidi and Mendy is what seems to have worsened Wilf's game. He should be played alongside Iborra to benefit from the latters football acumen and experience.
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 If we were capable of getting the best out of Silva, he'd walk into this team. There is absolutely no way he can be any less effective than ndidi and mendy
Guest MattP Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 He was never that good anyway, we just overrated him because he's young and we were desperate to believe we had a replacement for Kante. His performances this season have been absolutely shocking and I can't believe he is still in the team.
The Doctor Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 His passing has always been terrible. It's just now he's got Mendy next to him, who can recycle a ball well, it's starting to really show. Would still bench him and go Mendy-Silva for a while. You don't have the career Silva has had without being a good player, and we need someone like him capable of playing line breaking passes
Suzie the Fox Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 Happy Birthday Wilf, at least you won't be getting a Card off the ref this year
Fox92 Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 Another that seems to get picked regardless. Evans has played well, we've kept clean sheets, yet as soon as Maguire is back he's back in. Ndidi has been consistently poor but not dropped yet. What does it say?

The best players win the ball and look to be positive, Ndidi's 1st thought seems to be to pass backwards or to the man next to him. He needs a ball player next to him or he looks average. The problem we have is that both Iborra and Silva aren't effective in a 2 man mf. The only option therefore is to play 3 in mf, which i don't think Puel wants to do.
weller54 Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 Heard Papy screaming at Wilf yesterday when he passed the ball to him in a deep position... Ndidi shouted back at him... Papy!, don't preach.. I'm in trouble deep.

whoareyaaa Posted 22 December 2018 Posted 22 December 2018 Was much better today no stray pointless shots, was unlucky not to score and overall passing game was better. done well!
Kitotac Posted 22 December 2018 Posted 22 December 2018 Solid Dming today along with mendy. Totally reduced jorginho to part play
Beechey Posted 22 December 2018 Posted 22 December 2018 Playing in a three seems to take a lot of the pressure off him, excellent today. Would have loved that first half shot to have gone in.
Father Ted Posted 22 December 2018 Posted 22 December 2018 Is it just me then that thought he was quite poor in parts today? Looked lacklustre at times and his distribution was sloppy. Did the good things defensively though and had 1 good effort on goal. I think he needs a rest - there seems to be more to it?

It says Evans and Soyuncu are new Drago's.
VLC86 Posted 23 December 2018 Posted 23 December 2018 I was there when he got a shot on target. Thinking about it, I might make a commemorative T Shirt.
Rigga Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Has had plenty of stick this season. Has still won plenty of tackles to nullify opposition attack. His passing though most of the time is safe/backwards. V Man City , can you guys remember the bizarre instance we broke on the right hand side and Wilf although with about 20 yards to run into , stopped and looked backwards. It was only the 30000 fans willing him forwards that he actually did eventually decide to go forward with it. I was flabbergasted

Wilf was doing the correct thing, get us up the pitch and allow us to get some possession in(you can’t constantly chase the other team for 90mins). The crowd got on his back & he ended up losing the ball trying to play it forward.
Rigga Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 He definately had at least 2 in front of him.. one centrally and one further up the wing. He lost the ball because the crowd got in his back ? Oh please....
