Once again he's shoved out wide and once again he's anonymous. I like Perez but either play him through the middle or dont play him. We have Barnes and Under who are better on the wing than Perez is.

 

He was OK today but I felt he was just plodding along without influencing much 

 

🤔

Perez was immense in that first half yesterday

I swear half of you aren’t watching the same game as me

I hold my hands up and say I have been critical of Perez this season but he has shown that playing more inside he can have a positive I fluence.

[RowlattsFox]

I didn't think he was that great last night, unsure really what position he was playing after the formation change, but he stills adds a different dimension to the side with the positions he takes up, and helped Justin have the space he needed on the right. 

[casablancas]

That take down to set up Justin for Thor, god whatever we call him. That control, driving run and pass all set JJ up for his ball. Lovely.

That's what I felt as well. Perez generally has good link up play but sometimes he just plods along. Its more of a criticism of where he plays rather than the player himself.

 

I would like to try him as a false 9 when Vardy isn't available but that would require Albrighton not to play at all.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

He was alright yesterday. Found pockets of space inside and linked well first half. But he does get dispossessed a lot in traffic. He's technically good on the ball. But needs to.be stronger in the collisions. Can't criticise tactics given the result. But would rather see Under there.

[LVFox]

Really good game again I thought, that 25 minute spell in the first half where we tore through them had a lot to do with his movement of the ball, constantly taking up positions which gave Justin loads of room down the right. He will never be a 15 goal or 10 assist "Winger", but he is really smart in how he plays, presses well too. Has really come back to form since being left out.

[M0901]

Rodgers is finally seeing where Ayoze can flourish. He was good again. 
 

For a big money signing, his attitude is first class, really pleased he’s getting himself back in.

 Nor me....

 

I'll have to change my Position on the Sofa....Watching footy & trying the Karma-sutra is getting somewhat difficult these days...

[deep blue]

I'm half and half with Perez.

 

On the one hand, I can appreciate his pressing, his close skills and movement, how he opens up space for others (and definitely needs to be played as a false number 9 or support role). On the other, he frustrates me. So often he gets knocked over or loses possession cheaply.  And there are many situations where he seems to duck out of challenges, hold back, or simply not be as sharp or ruthless to a goal opportunity.  In this latter, I am comparing with how Vardy would have reacted ("if only that had been Vardy ..."), which I admit is unfair.

[Hollyfox]

As always with him, some great technical play, and some poor/weak hold up play. 

He's definitely got something about him, in terms of ability, but he really needs to toughen up. 

Too many times, dispossessed, and looking up at the ref, wanting a free kick. 

 

Don't dislike him, but feel he's got to provide us with a bit more.

Like Vardy hitting the post,or blasting side or over the top..

 

Nobody,nothing can ever compare to Vardy,even his misses Border on the WTF moments..!!

Unique celebrations, Eagles, corner-flags quivering in fear,when he just Breezes by....

[UpTheLeagueFox]

The pass to Vardy before Maddison's worldie - if that was Tielemans, fans would be creaming themselves.

[dmayne7]

He was shocking in the first 20 mins; classic case of his lack of physicality. After that he was a different player with some very clever touches and movement.

 

Problem is with our set up is that those supporting Vardy have to be a threat constantly so drifting in and out of games at times (as most attacking midfielders/wingers do) is an issue. Basically you're allowing Vardy to not be involved at then get a goal or assist, so if you've got another playing you're having to carry at times, it's too much for the structure of the team.

 

Perez's numbers are decent but because of this, I feel that he needs to have truly excellent numbers for us to all accept him. It's why Barnes can be very wasteful and still an asset, as he's giving the opposition something to think about all game.

 

[coolhandfox]

People seem to forget he was involved in the move for two goals and would have one himself without a good save from Ryan.

 

Goal 2) He's take down of the ball and pass to set JJ away for the cross from Vardy's goal was excellent.

Goal 3) He plays a great ball in to Vardy who lays it back to Maddison.

Fully agree. Commented last night on that take down for the JJ pass ... ‘twas orgasmic

His link up play was really important today. Moves defenders around and out of position as well creating more space for Maddison. 

Yeah I’d agree with this. Similar to what Okazaki did, creating space for vardy/others. Been pleased with Perez last couple of games

Seems a bit unfair and loaded to make Ayoze seem a failure, no? If he needs to have exceptional numbers, but others do not, then I would suggest you may be judging  harshly or using the wrong numbers ? 

 

He is very skilful no doubt, and he does put himself about a bit, he was tagged teamed quite a bit yesterday, but still created opportunities.

[Goober]

He'll be vital over the Christmas period with rotation and that. I like him a lot

Good lad

Perez is fine

I simply don’t think people really watch him enough. I’ve said physically he’s lightweight but he’s got a lot to his game that compensate for that. I’m glad we have him here at Leicester and pretty much always have been.

Rodgers sees him worth which at the end of the day is what matters

...I thought the improvement in his contribution, stemmed from the change of format!!!

[smitha]

Good contribution when he came on, definitely has something to offer, can be knocked off the ball easy but offers a lot going forward, excellent cross for the second equaliser. Gets a lot of stick on here but I like him, reckon we could see more of him over the next couple of games.

[Guest Hansifüx]

maybe a lucky punch  but he deserves cheers in general. I am starting to appreciate his style more. 

[HybridFox]

Impressive yet again. Instant impact today and certainly proving to be a valuable wildcard 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

He offers a lot more than people realise.

 

his overall game is very strong. Got good feet, picks the right pass and knows where the net is.

 

should play more
