Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 March 2021 Posted 6 March 2021 Right surely he'll be fit and back in for the Sheff United game? A whole 8 days away and we badly need another attacker fit.

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 14 March 2021 Popular Post Posted 14 March 2021 Much derided on here, often for good reason, but he was great today! Much better in this position and in the 3412 system. 6
Popular Post Bert Posted 14 March 2021 Popular Post Posted 14 March 2021 Fantastic today. No coincidence it was at 10. His pressing, tracking back and link play was brilliant. Especially after being out injured and taking a knock. Great finish for his goal. 19
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Yea very good today. I’ve been critical in the past, as have many, but excellent today.
David Hankey Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 It's all to do with consistency. We know he has the ability.
filbertway Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Pointed out by many many people that his natural role is obviously as a 10. His lack of any pace or strength doesnt matter here and he can do what he does best in the middle. Fans couldnt possibly have a correct opinion about a player that the manager doesnt seem to notice though 1

Hales Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 He was really good today and thoroughly deserved that goal 👏👏👏👏👏
Guest Col city fan Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 He looked fit, full of running and played in his best position Really good today
Collymore Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 I can't work out if he looked quicker than usual or Sheff Utd were slower than other teams. Probably a bit of both. He looked excellent to be fair.
Nalis Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 He will be needed in a 10 as we rotate the squad next season if we get into europe / champions league. 1
fox_favourite Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Fair play to him, he played well and took his goal well and a very neat pass for the 1st goal to unlock their defence. Needs to show that on a more regular basis.
foxfanazer Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Maybe in the long term our injuries this season could be a positive. Given squad players a chance and to be fair in the main they haven't let us down 1
Koke Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Not taking anything away from Perez and Iheanacho but Sheffield United are quite possibly the worst ever team we've faced in the Premier League. But this can be a great confidence booster for both, especially Perez. 1
KrefelderFox666 Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 A couple of loose passes and lost balls but overall very good performance. Great to have him back. Deserved his goal, could have had 2 or 3. 1
Popular Post South Shire Fox Posted 14 March 2021 Popular Post Posted 14 March 2021 (edited) No more wasting the bloke out on the wing where he has no attributes to play there, he is a number 10 who plays best centrally behind the striker linking play, as shown today. Going forward hopefully he can be in a rotation with Maddison Edited 14 March 2021 by South Shire Fox 17

Going forward hopefully he can be in a rotation with Maddison This. As a second choice to Maddison its as good as we can get imo. I said similar about Kelechi a few weeks ago when there was this huge outcry for a 2nd striker when Vardy is out.
majaco Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Contributed well overall today. Hopefully, we will see some consistency. There was a moment when I found myself whining, 'Perez' in the first half when he played a short square ball to a defender to break up our attack. Shortly after, he started contributing well. Long-term, we can get better quality; short-term if he plays like he did today, he will be useful.
dmayne7 Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Classic Perez; some really good bits and really poor bits. Particularly an incredibly easy pass to Vardy that he somehow overhit and let the defender get back in. But, fantastic finish and involved in some very nice link play. Sadly, I think that's his best position. Not as a 10 behind a lone front man but as a 10 behind the 2 so he's got more opportunity to drift into little pockets of space which we won't get in any other formation. Nonetheless, great to have him back at the moment. 1
Koke Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 I can't remember a more lightweight player we've had in the last decade. Mahrez was pretty lightweight but Mahrez would quite easily out-muscle Perez.
Eskay Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 He actually put himself about a bit today and tracked back. There was one really meaty challenge where I was convinced it wasn't him! 2
M0901 Posted 14 March 2021 Posted 14 March 2021 Best system for him is 3-4-1-2 as proven today. Yes, the opposition were extremely poor, but he’s better on the turn, and in the pockets behind their midfield. Out wide he’s wasted and he’s far too lightweight and slow to be a no9. As a 10, his quality shines through.
