Just noticed that he still didn't get his own bashing thread so I thought it's about time to create one. While I admired his work rate against Wolves, his passing was a bit off and failed to make a great impact on the wing. Early days I know, time to settle and all that and I'm in no way having a go at him. I'd like to see him play behind Vardy against Chelsea, where his energy and tricks would be better employed.

 

What are your thoughts first impressions?

Probably help him if Puel didn't play two DCM's at home. 

[norwichfox 2,110]

Far too early to say, ask me after he's played at least 10 games.

[MarriedaLeicesterGirl 476]

He said himself he was disappointed with his performance. Who am I to disagree?

[goose2010 1,628]

looked ok think he was trying to impress a little too much. Will get up to speed soon enough I'm sure.

He didn't really make an impact but it happens. Boly and the entire Wolves defence were pretty impressive the whole game so it isn't surprising really.

[Guest MattP]

Didn't play well but give him 10-12 games to see what he can do. Can't start criticising after one match.

 

That works the other way as well, shouldn't get carried away after one performance saying they are brilliant like our fans did with Adrian Silva etc

Jesus of Nazareth...... What is next? Praet's warm up routine not being vigorous enough??

He won’t come up against a 5 man packed defence and Willy Boly every week

Good that I explicitely said that I'm not having a dig at him.

I know, it was more about first impressions, nothing more really.

Thought he was very good in pre-season, especially vs Atalanta and i'm confident he will be a great player for us. Will press well and win the ball high up the picth, expect to see some goals from the supply of Tielemans and Maddison to him in and around the box.

You've highlighted areas of his game that you thought were short... A 'dig' it may not be, but what annoys me is its a game, and not even a whole game, and it is his first competitive game for us..... Not every player can have debut's like Rooney did for yanited.... He is adapting, if he is still looking like he is adapting by Christmas, then there will be cause for concern.....

He may do at the KP for 2/3 of the season .....

[sacreblueits442 574]

...wasted playing wide!!!

  He offers nothing out there while Vardy is starved of supply and support. Maddison pushed wide is also a waste of his talents, they (the players) might say that they are disappointed with their contribution but they were in a format which set them up to under perform.

  We can all praise Wolves for their resolute defending but the introduction of proper width and pace energised our performance, we got it wrong at the start and took too long to correct it.

 

[MonkeyTennis? 35]

I like him. A lot. I admit my tactical understanding is limited, but even I could see he seemed a bit nervy with the ball at the Atlanta game, then gained in confidence once he scored.

 

On Sunday, I appreciated his runs and thought he often found space very effectively, but he didn't show the sort precision in finishing or pressing capability he's known for when he's on form. That said, he was a more effective threat than Vardy, especially in the first half. I think he shows bags of promise, I'm looking forward to seeing him play again.

I just described what I saw, it's still a long way from any definitive judgement.

[Facecloth 10,812]

We should sell him to a European club before the 2nd September 

[urban.spaceman 26,871]

Waste of space. Get rid ASAP.

[Haywood_6 836]

We need to get him in and around the box because that's where he comes alive.

[Fox92 10,311]

I'm confident he'll be good for us and chip in with 10 goals minimum but I don't like him out wide.

[Lambert09 1,709]

He's going to be marmite with our fan base. He's either being incredible or pretty useless. Which in honesty was how mahrez was for us, im not saying he will reach RM high's but it is often what you get with flair players. 

[don_danbury 562]

rather play raddish ghezel

At least he tracks back..!  I like him, and am confident he will be good for us.

He is a little behind most of the squad having picked up a niggle in a pre-season game and missed a couple of games from memory. We know what his skills are and he showed glimpses of those skills in pre-season so given time, he will become a valuable member of the team.
