reynard Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 20 September 2019 Share Posted 20 September 2019 5 hours ago, henrik_62 said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OadbyBlue Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 Honestly I thought he looked lively today especially in the first 30 or so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l444ry Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee7 Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleolly Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 Thought he played well today especially in the second half looked stronger on the ball today than he had done previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 (edited) Not great so far . Seems a bit lost out wide. Either play him closer to Vardy or Albrighton should be playing Edited 21 September 2019 by adam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
