Ayoze Pérez

[reynard]

Doesn't look up for it, doesn't look good enough at the moment and hard to see what he offers. Can he play with Vardy? Ealry days though but he needs to settle quickly now and prove his worth.

With the lack of genuine width (Barnes aside) I don't understand why Rodgers doesn't at least try pairing Perez with Vardy up top and playing a diamond in midfield which would get more out of Maddison as opposed to sticking him out on the left wing.

 

Could have Ndidi at the base of the diamond, Maddison at the top and Praet and Tielemans in between.

This is essentially what we played vs Sheffield Utd at times and although Perez won the ball for Vardy's goal which was set up beautifully from Maddison we were still largely limited.

 

There's something lacking in our fluidity if Youri and Maddison aren't centrally with wingers and attacking full backs stretching play for them to constantly have options. We seem to press better as a team in this system too and Vardy is involved infinitely more in this system, not to mention the sheer amount of goals he's scored when we play 4-1-4-1.

 

In the 6 games we've played either 2 DCM's or the diamond he has scored once. In the 9 other games he has 11 goals. This is a player who's record against the top 6, which is perceived to be the reason we are playing 2 DCM's is in the last 4 seasons PHENOMENAL as well. I just don't get Rodgers game plan currently.

Can fans please give new players time to bed into a team?

[Paninistickers]

Agree he should be given a chance by fans.

 

Doesn't disguise that he was - again-  worse then useless  today

[Fosse93]

Thought he played well today.

Thought he played fine. He for sure wasn’t useless.

OK. I accept useless is too much.

 

But he's way behind gray, Barnes and Albrighton IMO

[OadbyBlue]

Honestly I thought he looked lively today especially in the first 30 or so

[Harry96]

He wasn’t that bad today, people need to remember he’s playing out of position.

How the **** does that work?

[UniFox21]

He had moments of class with dribbling etc 

But still has work to do, a few times he's been on his heels in terms of making a run and picking passes

[Guest]

I thought he was ok. A few loose touches and passes but he held the ball up well and played a part in a few good moves. Thought he was more effective overall than Barnes.

[Tielemans63]

I thought he had a solid game. Just needs a goal. Thought he showed some nice touches today and did a good job of pinning Rose back in his own half which gave Ricardo a bit more space.

[l444ry]

Just won against the Champions League finalists and people feel the need to find someone to criticise. Took all 14 who played to win that game today and Perez was one of them.

We all see it different.

 

I thought Ricardo was totally overwhelmed first half as Rose just robbed or coasted past Perez as if he didn't exist

[Fox92]

Said it all along but he needs to be more central and closer to Vardy.

He wasn’t far off being our best player in the first half.  Certainly offered more than Barnes.

Fair play. As you say, everyone sees it differently. I was far more worried about our left hand side in the first half. Good job Aurier can't cross for shit because he kept getting down that side quite easily.

[Billy Big Balls]

I really think the price tag is messing with some people's perception of him. He was pretty good today other than giving the ball away in dodgy situations a couple of times.

 

One thing I like about him over the other wingers is he offers an out-ball if we can't play out. He wins his fair share of headers which can be useful for getting up the pitch quickly if we're under a lot of pressure. 

[lee7]

He wasn't terrible but he wasn't great either. For me he is the weakest link when he gets in the starting 11. Gives the ball away needlessly in promising situations and often too light weight but we are only 6 matches in so hopefully given a run of games he'll improve. 

[foxfanazer]

Thought he did alright today personally. Got himself involved. Desperately needs a goal or two

I've been saying it all along too. When he gets up front he looks so much more dangerous.

 

Today there were some nice touches, but several dodgy ones too.

 

We need proper wingers out there and not use Perez and Maddison like we have been in recent matches.

[Raw Dykes]

I thought he was much better than he has been today. 

 

It's still early days. There is a player in there. Might just need time to settle in. Might be that he doesn't usually start any season well, like at Newcastle.

[kyleolly]

Thought he played well today especially in the second half looked stronger on the ball today than he had done previously.

[adam]

Not great so far . Seems a bit lost out wide. Either play him closer to Vardy or Albrighton should be playing
