Football is a harsh environment and unfortunately he hasn’t been good enough for us. So like other you only remember the bad things ? The whole team have messed up one way or another in recent times. Cags getting sent off against Bournemouth cost us the year before as did kaspers errors in the same game. You can’t put missing out on the champs league to 1 game or 1 miss mate seriously !! A loss away to West Ham cos Maddison went to a covid party and got dropped cost us then if that’s the case it happens over a season not just 1 miss 3
The People's Hero Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Got not just one, not two, but THREE z's in his name. Ayoza Perez Gutierrez. Enterprising and always finds a way to have fun, despite trifling matters like UK law, global pandemics or being quite easily recognisable. Does have both great skin and wonderful hair. Always wears a sweatband type thing on his wrist despite never working hard enough to work up a sweat. Born in Tenerife, moved to Newcastle, then here; which betrays his secret love of pissed up fat English birds. There was evidently some terrible comedy drama which was sort of about him. Not many Leicester players can claim that (or would want to) Nickname is Ayo; which is definitely coolers than Madders or Vards or whatever; but not as good as Sharky or Kevin. Is apparently a 'Fifa addict'. I'm presenting this as a positive; but whatever. We must nearly be at ten? Ok this is number 8; so the positive is he knows how to wind down when not at illegal parties with a lovely bit of sit-at-home Fifa. I wish there was an insurance game so that when I finish doing insurance as a job I can play it on my PS4. Ranked as 13 in Newcastle's all time scorers. I got that off some naff website so I can't believe its true. Maybe for the PL era? I don't know. Shearer 148. Perez 27. LOL. 27. (Got 2 for us last season in the league by the way) Has never got embroiled in some sort of sick orgy that disrespected our owners and their culture. Well, not that we know about. He might have. I hear he's actually a nice bloke to be honest, but like.. do you even orgy, bro? No? Oh. Okay then. Good. Boom. 10. 2

Why not give him a chance to carry that form on into the new season rather than be so down beat? Because I’ve watched much more of him than 60 minutes in a friendly unfortunately but you carry on wanking over a tap in from 3 yards. 2
oldbluefox Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 I thought last night he was 100% better than anything I saw last season.

Was the rest of his play that was good. Looked like the 19/20 versions of Perez and Ricardo down the right hand side last night. Yeah he did well fair enough, but as above it will take more than 60 minutes in a friendly for him to convince me he is going to be a success here.
scinnell Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 Good performance from him yesterday. Let's hope it continues
adejo92 Posted 5 August 2021 Posted 5 August 2021 I am not the biggest fan, but if Brendan trusts him, i guess i can!

Well our objective over the last two season was to get European football, which we have achieved twice we Perez playing 58 games. Oh and we won the FA Cup. The guys not a world beater, but he's get an embarrassing amount of stick. Yes he had a bad season last year, but if he can repeat his first season he's a decent squad player Edited 6 August 2021 by coolhandfox typo 2

Me too, I believe we will see a better Perez with a fit and firing Riccardo behind him. They seem to work well as a pair, Perez before Riccardo injury played 25, 7 goals 4 assists, since his injury played 33, 3 goals 1 assist. 1
Popular Post Greg2607 Posted 6 August 2021 Popular Post Posted 6 August 2021 Here's my take on Perez. He isn't and was never going to be a Mahrez replacement. But as it stands, he is the best option we have in that position. Albrighton is a workhorse, and a Leicester legend, but his outputs aren't as good. Ghezzal is poor in this league and Sowah is untested. IF we decide not to bring in a new player for this position, then whether we like it or not, Perez is the player the others have to displace. It's not exactly Perez's fault that he is picked regularly. It's not really his fault that he isn't Ronaldo. So I'll get behind him, accept his shortcomings and try not to blame him for global warming, war in the middle East, or African famine if he has a bad game. We aren't the kind of club who can have world class players in every position. One of the reasons I love being a Leicester fan is that we often have the underdogs and misfits at our club. What's not to like about that??! 5

Some of us just think that with the momentum and team we had when brendan rodgers and tielemans came in and the shakey form of our top 4 competitors, that the signing of perez (and praet for me as well although that's unpopular on here) was the difference between us getting CL and where we are now in both of those two seasons. We were clearly already on the way up in the back end of 18/19 before Perez came in. Edited 6 August 2021 by honeybradger

drumbeat Posted 6 August 2021 Posted 6 August 2021 Me, I like Perez. Good feet, one of the better 'ballers' in the team. He is prone to one touch too many and, relatedly, doesn't get his head up enough. Often tries to over complicate and make stuff too clever. And he is probably too slow for our game (not Ghezzal slow though). That all said, I reckon he is a, um, useful/adequate/capable/valuable member of the squad. The kind of player that can make something happen (or at least take a part in it happening) In an ideal world, yes, I'd probably move him on but we're not in an ideal world and so he'll do, and I'm happy with his contributions and output. He's certainly not a liability. 1

Well, if you heard the musings of a appearance clause in his contract then maybe it is. Also, it makes me laugh when people like Amartey get stick when he plays as a backup when we're threadbare, and apparently that's absolutely fine for the majority on here. Perez plays first choice for a full season whilst drastically underperforming, but you're a crap fan, ungrateful etc if you point that out apparently. I hope he turns it around sharpish if Brendan persists with him this season as we can't afford one of our key forward players to return such pitiful numbers again. 3

We are unfortunate that we aren't blessed with quality in that particular position though.... Perez has scored 10 in two seasons vs albrighton's 3 in 3 seasons.... whereas albrighton has generated twice as many assists.... or Perez has 15 total goal contributions in 2 years and Albrighton has 13 in 3.... Whichever way you cut it.... it's our weakest position. If the club don't rectify it, who is to blame?? Albrighton 2020-21 31 1 5 2019-20 20 0 3 2018-19 27 2 2 Perez 2020-21 25 2 1 2019-20 33 8 4
