Albrighton cannot play right wing

[lcfcsnow]

He can’t beat a man

Therefore he either runs into trouble or crosses from so far out it goes out of play or into the keepers arms

He was released by Villa as this was his position

 

When he’s the on left

He runs more effectively down that side and cuts inside onto his right and swing balls into the box

Therefore he doesn’t have to beat a man and can use his right foot to much better effect and therefore better quality crosses

 

For example today we’ve created one chance where we hit the bar in the one minute Albrighton was on the left, nice play with Chilwell leading to a corner which he whipped in from the left. It’s braindead management to play him there and I’m tired of moaning about it.

[Dr The Singh]

He would only be really effective if he had a big target man

[somebum]

Yeah but we need to fit our most important player ben chilwell in somehow

[Aus Fox]

I thought he's put in a couple of great balls tonight, just no one on the end of them.

The bloke in the other side, however...

[foxile5]

I thought he'd been pretty useful tonight. 

[M0901]

He's been pretty useful

[Swarles Barkley]

Even when he crosses we got 5ft defenders against 6ft defenders. Smart of us to let 2 big guys go 

[lcfcsnow]

He might have the odd moment but it’s a waste playing him right when he’s infinitely more effective on the left. Moving over to that side saved his career.

[LcFc_Smiv]

More concerned about what's going on over on the left side. Have we bothered to fill the full back and wide position or are we playing with 9?

[shen]

He's traditionally been better on the right, in my opinion. His crosses find their man more often when he's there and I disagree that he cannot go by his man.

This season he's not played there much, but I guess he hasn't been too influential in the main this past month.

We could try and put in a cheeky bid for Slimani from Newcastle?

Uncharacteristically poor game from Albrighton

[Chester Dontlie]

Even if we had a team of basketball players in the box today Albrighton's crosses would still miss everyone

[TheUltimateWinner]

He’s either class or awful

 

But his work rate never changes, even though he was poor tonight he still ran himself into the ground.

 

Hes been one of our better players this season and certainly one of our most improved. 

 

normally after he has an awful game he has one of his best ever so here’s hoping

My point is he doesn't perform when he's switched onto the right. Luckily it's been quite rare as we usually have Mahrez there but I knew without him tonight we'd end up with Albrighton playing right wing even though he's poor every time.

[FoxInTheBirstallBox]

Makes you think was albrighton originally not in the plan for today's game but had to drop in for mahrez leaving him unprepared?

 

But saying that you can't say he can't play right wing after 3!!!!! Years of everyone saying he should get into the England team. Stupid knee jerk reaction

Lol. 

 

He's a winger and was shit tonight. Like the rest of the team to be fair. Be it on the left or on the right he knows the drill and it's not the first time. As one already said he's either good or bad.

He's like Okazaki, maximize their ability in games or are easily nullified. You can usually tell what you're going to get with either after the opening 10-15 minutes. Personally I'd sub both of them when they start badly, it's pointless them playing.

The points been missed again. He's played right wing sparingly over 3 years because we've usually had Mahrez there but as soon as he's out or subbed off he gets switched over, even though he can't perform there. Left wing he gets away with it because he doesn't have to take anyone on and can come inside, performs much more effectively.

[lcfcsnow]

He can’t play central midfield either as he is for this second half for some unknown reason. Left wing or nowhere, sort it out Puel.

[Monsell1976]

But he works hard ?

[Arriba Los Zorros]

I think he's marginally less shit on the right, as at least he doesn't have to cut back onto his other foot and remove the element of surprise. He shouldn't be starting for us on either wing though, just not good enough.

[foxinsox]

He certainly ain't no central midfielder!
