Hammo Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 Let's be honest, Marc's crossing is erratic. But his work rate is consistently second to none, and that rightly elevates him above more gifted players challenging for his place. He is in great form at the moment, full of confidence, and when he is, he is a massive asset to the team.
Buce Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 He really is a model professional and the very definition of an unsung hero.

Am about four pages late but was gonna say this. Surely nobody "hates" Marc Albrighton? Even if you find him a bit one dimensional or prefer other players, he's an absolute hero. Works like a trojan, often pops up and delivers when we really need it. Might not score a lot but he scores key goals. Man for the big occasion. First ever champions league goal, winning goal in a champions league last sixteen, cmon.
volpeazzurro Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 To me, his work rate alone makes him come across as an individual that appreciates every single moment of being a professional footballer. He never gives up, always gives of his best and is an inspiration to colleagues and supporters alike.
fuchsntf Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 Will always be one of the top 3 automatic names ,on gameday playing list!!! Also one of the first I would bench,to introduce a different tactic,or player... This player for me,is underrated,he is not just a runner,but has a fair amount of technical skills,I still argue one of our ever best crossers, not his fault if he either runs his socks off,or through quick thinking and skill finds he is ready to cross,and nobody,or only one player who is supporting Making a central run... Sorry if some posters don't agree,but since we signed him,he will always IMO be considered one of the most consistent,die for the gameday top 3 "Mr Leicester" player in these last few seasons... like any player he will have very avg.games,but he's such a solid p!ayer,it's wasted time trying to pick up and analyse mistakes/errors.
lcfc sheff Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 just want him to be consistent and get an England cap, would be fantastic to see.
Danno Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 He’s brilliant at spotting a pass too, probably better than any CM we’ve got.
Koke Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 We often forget how awfully injury prone he was before he came here. This was one of the reasons Aston Villa refused to give him the contract he wanted. He didn't warrant it. He could barely string together couple of 90 mins games in a week. Since he arrived at City he's been playing non-stop and is on of our least injury prone players. Overall, Albrighton is a streaky player. He has patches like this where he is immense and he also has periods where he is terrible.
Clever Fox Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 Definitely should be in the England Squad. A great player to bring on especially if chasing a result.
Russell sprout Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 Let’s look at what he’s been through in the past 3-4 years, lost his mother in law in the Tunisian terror attacks,was instrumental in our title success, scored our first ever champions league goal, like the rest of us has experienced the tragic loss of vichai, yet how he conducts himself on and off the pitch is that of an exceptional professional, and any young kid wanting to know what makes a good pro and someone who’s dealt with extreme pressure on and off the pitch should look no further than Marc albrighton
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 As a professional footballing man, there are none better, he is supreme. An absolute legend and for me we tick better with him than without. I’d like to believe he is a really top bloke who I’d enjoy the company of.
frany104 Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 He’s been brilliant the past few games. His crossing is either tremendous or dreadful though. He works so hard and everyone in the squad should follow his work rate.
Anglodanglo Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 Humble bugger is our Marc Just said on MOTD his corner which led to Ricky's was rubbish A great and honest attitude alongside his unquestionable workrate is the lesson all kids dreaming of a football career should learn first. Once that's nailed they can work on funny handshakes
Unabomber Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 Love that he scored a few recently, needs to adds more goals to his game and looks like he has. One of our best ever signings absolute bargain.
foxile5 Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 If he'd have been operating in the era of Shearer and Sheringham his final ball would've made him the first name on England's team sheet.
Dames Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 With the engine he has i’d be tempted to convert him into a CM. He’s very similar to James Milner and I think he would adapt very well. Would help solve a few problems we have as well.
Clarkey123 Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 His on the pitch understanding with Vardy is a thing of beauty :’)
UPinCarolina Posted 26 December 2018 Posted 26 December 2018 A long while ago, someone on here said they thought he would be the last of the title winning XI to be playing regularly for the club. It seemed a little far-fetched then, but less so now. He does what is necessary.
Gordon the Great Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 20 hours ago, Leicesterpool said: Hoping Gareth Southgate is watching him! Should have been watching him from the international dug out for the past 4 years, especially when you see some of the players that have been awarded caps. The most consistent player on city`s books over the past 4 years.and that is saying something!

More Paul Lambert decision really just wouldn't play at all, funny the three manager's before him at Villa MON, Houiller, McLeish all liked Albrighton.

The Quick Brown Fox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 I was saying yesterday, MA doesn't do anything spectacular but he does most things well. He's been dropped by new managers to only go and get his starting place back. Says alot about his work rate and attitude. Glad he's ours!
