Championship level he looks decent. He is better thru the middle I agree but let’s not get ahead of ourselves with him. His second goal of the season against the worst side in the division. Yes I See now..!! Wintersisntcoming, its Bloody arrived.... Have you ever thought when Making such Blunt comments....that over These last 2 seasons, Top teams have struggle to get One up on this Blades team.. Has over 100s of seasons, there are teams, Top teams cant crack..Like .Ourselves in The 60-70s,Burnley, etc...Its football, where your Comments Lean to negative point-Scoring in the snidey, backstabbing variety....

FoxinNotts Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Consistency (as always) is all we want to see, at a good level of assists and goals. In the case of Perez, in particular, he needs to be a little stronger on the ball and in the tackle. With Maddison, Barnes, Praet and Ünder all injured, if he doesn’t deliver now, his chances will dwindle somewhat. On the flip side, if he performs consistently over the next 10 games, what a great time to stake a claim for an international call up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Perez is he plays well in maybe 2/3 games a season. As was the case last season. Same this season. You really should be expecting more from a player that cost 30m. He’s not quick, is lightweight and at times his distribution is poor. As I stated he played well against Sheffield Utd but I’m afraid that’s his level. In the next 10 games if he performs like Sunday then I stand corrected. Unfortunately I can’t see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 This is why Man Utd have been urged to sign Leicester’s Ferrari. Perez is the bomb. Sleek speed machine. £100 million and he’s theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 30m Tag ,Lays, heavily & singularly at the feet of this club, and poor investment foresight..... When I heard we were interested..I thought OK, decent call around £16-20Mil in this enviroment (back then) For me hes fitted in excellently more so when Maddison has been out...So he s done more than some Posters give him Credit for...

Dan LCFC Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 I'm sorry, I'm not quite having these comments. He was praised when he played well, criticised when he didn't, I've done it before and I'll do it again, him playing well (which I pointed out) on Sunday doesn't invalidate what's been said previously. You can't make comments about people being harsh and judging too quickly based on the back of one game. You've got to see the irony in that. Honestly, long may it continue, I thought the set up of the front three got the best out of all three of them. I'd be prepared to see it again. I just don't totally buy those saying previous critics were wrong because of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez’s link up play and overall contribution has always been that good but our fans have just been blinkered by the fact that he hasn’t added enough goals or assists this season. But he’s never been a poor or bad player. In fact, I’d argue he’s consistently decent but just not been effective in terms of turning that into goal contributions. A bit like those two blokes we all love - Okazaki and Albrighton. His link up play is good but we can't just ignore his poor G+A stats. He gets judged on that because he's an attacking player in a team that plays attacking football. I like Perez though. I just don't think he should be a starter next season. We need someone better.

I like Perez too and I don't think he should be a regular starter next season. I do, however, think, he's a valuable squad player for us. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair dues, but no Need for some to use his Price tag (Any player) as a Stick to Beat them with...Any guy who is off his Performance is Open to criticism, But they Shouldnt become a seasons target. Plus One has to look at what players bring to Balance what from the managers perspective brings... Swings n roundabouts, in an injury hit squad, are some consequences Coaches & managers usually accept.... Like a players performance..Then fans must also accept when criticising there will be other fans who will bring a Contra argument & perspective... I believe many just Risikos or Jump on the negatives when we consistently are experiencing fans...going for the Scapegoat rhetoric... then go After individuals players....and dish out the least balanced arguments.....!!! Highlighting every mistake then Conveniently ignoring/forgetting those by other players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 (edited) I'm not too sure what the general opinion of Whoscored but I go there quite often. Here is their quick synopsis of Ayoze Perez. Pretty decent numbers. Pretty strong at AMC ! Edited 16 March 2021 by gurru991 Addition 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy to do that out wide and he was always viewed as someone brought in to get us goals or have a part in their creation. We can all see now from the wing he is ineffective in producing those things and being eased off the ball so easily did not help his cause. He has linked up well with Ricardo when he is brought inside, and his one touch lay offs to a flying Ricardo last season only went to prove he was better centrally. The fact that we continued to play him wide is an argument and a question for Rodgers and his physicality is not so much of a problem in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been powderpuff on too many occasions for me to feel that he’ll ever be more than a decent squad player for us. A good performance against the worst side we’ve played since we came back up isn’t going to change that. The fact his last three premier league goals are against Sheffield United speaks volumes. That’s how infrequently he’s having an impact. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club needs decent squad players and Perez is one. Mendy is another one. And Amartey. Fuchs has been too, the past couple of years. Morgan also. You don't want them starting often but the kind of players we need now and again across a long, tough season. We're not the kind of club to be able to have two elite players for every position. PS People say about Marc Albrighton: "We need an upgrade on him to take us to the next level." when he's a more than decent squad player who never lets us down. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
