Mark Posted 19 January 2020 Share Posted 19 January 2020 1 hour ago, CityIsBlue said: A side 3rd in the Premier League should not be reliant on a player who has spend 1 year in League 1 and half a season in the Championship. True but it says a lot that he’s our most productive winger even though he’s underperformed compared to when he came back from his loan spell. His directness makes things happen, Gray is direct but it doesn’t effect us positively because he hasn’t a football brain. Pérez looks like he’s never played the position before every week, and is slow and weak. Albrighton is no longer effective apart from the odd game on the left.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 19 January 2020 Share Posted 19 January 2020 Was much better today, probably his best ever game for us. I only wish he'd try to take on the full back more often, rather than passing back to the LB constantly. Still, more games like this and he'll cement himself as a regular in the starting 11.

I'm almost certain that our wingers are under instruction to play the ball backwards constantly and it's what Chilwell was ribbed about last week. A lack of directness and bravery is starting to cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a mixture of Barnes trying to play it safe and our tactics. Either way something needs to change ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetly Posted 19 January 2020 Share Posted 19 January 2020 I am not sure he is going to be the player we hoped he would, he shows in patches that he is a very good player. when I watch him he seems terrified to make a mistake, he needs to show a bit more aggression both in attacking and defending. I do like him and would love it if he makes it here. Get him in the gym strength and conditioning & stamina work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John12345 Posted 19 January 2020 Share Posted 19 January 2020 Its his 1st season in the PL effectively. He aint doing bad. Ronaldo he is not, but thats once in 20 years. He should be able to be coached /gain experience to become a very good player. I remember when Ndidi first came in. He didnt look to be any world beater. Now hes the heartbeat and probably the only player in our team whod get into any side in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was selected to be one of the shepherds in the Nativity when I was five. It helped that I had a lamb that went ‘baa’ when you rocked it. A toy lamb not a real one, my parents weren’t that mad. My lamb was awesome. The big day came and I suffered from a wardrobe malfunction. A bright teacher sorted it out with a pin. It was my time to shine. I strode out into the lights, in front of the hundred or so families - the pin came loose, my trousers fell to the floor as though I was in training to become a Leicester mayor. They laughed, I cried - but it’s still not as embarrassing as our idiotic fans in this thread. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For his own good we should aim to try and move him on for a reasonable number. Just out of curiosity, who in your opinion what players currently in the EPL are top 6 level wingers?

TheUltimateWinner Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 Worth noting he looked better being the sole person driving forwards whilst Fuchs sat back. Seems he had more of a clear head knowing Chilwell wasn't going to bomb past him! I think getting them to understand eachothers games better would go a long way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 14 hours ago, LestaAl said: He has 3 goal, 7 assists and a cross accuracy of 1 in 8 . They’re the numbers, not sure it’s the whole story. I just feel we need more from a left winger. Do accept he seems to play better with Fuchs but let’s not get into the debate about Chilly. Has he got 7 assists? I thought it was less than that, but if that's correct then over the course of the season he could finish on 5 goals and 12 assists. Marc Albrighton would trade his PL medal in for those sorts of figures in a season, Christ when we won it he got half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense. He's got 2 goals and 1 in the cup this season and 5 assists. Nothing special but he's doing ok. Perez numbers don't look that bad either but when you take out that Southampton game and consider he hasn't scored and only provided 1 assist at home all season it shows a potential weakness of ours. I am usually a stats man for attacking players but sometimes players could have fairly ordinary goals and assists but be an integral part of the good things that a team does and it feels we don't have that from our wingers, so much is relied upon the sheer brilliance of Maddison, Ricardo and Vardy. Tielemans was one to rely upon but he has gone AWOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 He's learning and progressing quite well really. His stats are quite good and as he gets more experience he'll be an asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickov22 Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 All about confidence with him. When he’s feeling confident he will run at his fullback with ease and almost always beat them for pace. He just needs to do it more regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costock_Fox Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 He was our most dangerous player yesterday, they doubled up on him in the second half which meant he couldn’t be quite as effective. Hopefully the goal sees him kick on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can follow up yesterdays goal with another in the next few games then suddenly he might just become accustomed to regularly scoring, like he had no bother with at every other level he has played. He definitely has huge potential, I can't help but feel Fuchs behind him helps. A conundrum for Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think he has been our best wide option this season, he had a few shockers against Man City, Liverpool and then a couple after but that shouldn’t be the yardstick for a young players ability. He looks a genuine threat when he’s on his game, direct and causes no end of issues. Edited 20 January 2020 by Costock_Fox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 20 January 2020 Share Posted 20 January 2020 If he could get the hang of cutting in from the left and not hitting every shot straight at the goal keeper then he'd soon start to rack up the goals. Yesterday he had 2 other half chances from the left and both were too close to the goalkeeper. His 3 league goals all have come from him shooting from the right side of the goal, i'd be having him work day in, day out at shooting from cutting in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
