Ghezzal is by no means great or my favourite player, but he seemed more busy and productive than anyone else 2nd half. Had I not watched the game, some comments on here would lead me to believe he did nothing - it rather suggests that people sometimes watch with a pre-conceived notion of players, which I'm quite sure we all do to a degree, but come on. He played one decent ball over the top a few minutes into the half, then he had one good chance that just went wide, apart from that I thought he was his usual garbage self. The guy is too slow to go past people, he just gives the ball away. As for turning on the ball and looking backwards, every time he does that I just want to smash something.

Well, I disagree on the 1st para (calling anyone that plays and tries hard 'garbage' for us isn't on, imo), and as for the 2nd one, I hope you feel better soon.

StriderHiryu Posted 16 July 2019 Posted 16 July 2019 Scunthorpe might be "only" lower league opposition, but not everyone has fared so well...

Unnamed trialiast goal **** me, retire hurt now palace, I thought that shit only ever happened in the original football manager.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 16 July 2019 Posted 16 July 2019 Really excited for this season. That first half considering it’s our first run out was different class. I think we are going to look immense come the Atlanta game. Cant wait to see the service Vardy gets from Pérez, Barnes, Youri & Madders linking up.

City1884 Posted 16 July 2019 Posted 16 July 2019 As has already been said, we had a very promising (not perfect) first half, using half of the 1st 11 and half reserves. Followed by a pretty abject 2nd half, using a mix of reserves / u23’s / shop window players. It’s not really surprising how the game went on the whole. Positives: Great build up play with Ricardo, Perez, Tielemans and Vardy. Perez finding the net on his first appearance. A decent performance from Leshabela, building some confidence for the lad. A clean sheet. Amartey looking tidy after injury. A high intensity first 45, which is good for fitness levels. Negatives Jakupovic made a couple of howlers with his distribution, possibly due to lack of game time / lost confidence etc Soyuncu got caught in possession, whilst out of position a few times when marauding up the pitch. If he’s going to push forward, he needs to find a safe lay off at the end of it. The players in the second half that we may be looking to either loan out or offload (Jakupovic, King, Ghezzal, Elder, Knight, Iheanacho etc) did nothing really of note to help their causes. Still early days though. Bring on the next one!
Dan Posted 16 July 2019 Posted 16 July 2019 Enjoyed that first half. Thought we played some really neat, controlled stuff - surprisingly sharp for a first friendly. If that's what we're turning in in the first friendly I'd like to see what else we've got. Perez the sharpest. He was really decent. I think with friendlies it's hard to read too much into them but with the first in-particular it's hard to be too harsh. The second half was a chore but it was a much weaker side than the first. Decent run out.
WigstonWanderer Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Classy performance in the first half, not so much in the second. Like the look of Perez. Thought Albrighton looked really good and fitted in well with this style of play while still offering a little more of the old direct style Leicester.

Sums Ghezzal up fairly well. Never going to make it here. I find it hard to concieve that somebody decided this chap would be a good purchase.

Also thought Papy looked assured and quality too. Ricardo is of course just top notch. 1st half very good, second half not so much.
CosbehFox Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Personally the big positive for me was Brendan giving it Nige vibe in his merchandise. Absolutely lovely tucked in number and clean (but black) trainers. We are on our way

bfox Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Really impressed with perez, going to be a top player for us.
