Popular Post Yes N'Didi Posted 1 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 January 2023 I find it hard to understand the criticism for Ayo for the last two matches - our best player Boxing Day and was in the top 3 v Liverpool. His corners by the way were infinitely better than Tielemans and Maddison’s recently - I noticed he continued taking them even when tielemans came on on Friday. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 (edited) Friday, I thought he played quite well. Tried the right things, but due to lack of match fitness some passes were slightly over cooked or short, but the intention was correct. Corners were decent as well, we just didn’t attack them enough. What he lacks is aggression and strength, but that’s not new and something that should have been picked up in the scouting. He doesn’t suit our system at the moment.

Popular Post Fox92 Posted 1 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 January 2023 He isn't half as bad as what people make out. Decent performance at Liverpool despite the fact he's probably not match fit. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taupe Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 He frustrates the hell out of me. He's clearly a talented footballer, probably one of the more talented (with the ball at his feet) in the squad. Seriously, he has really good feet. It's his brain I question. He's not quick enough. He's always looking to do something clever rather than the simple thing. Wants the killer ball, to beat 3 defenders on the edge of the penalty area, the tricky backheel, the outside of foot flick. He just cannot play the simple, obvious ball. I can see why Rodgers sees the potential but time and again he fails to deliver. For me, he's out of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HighPeakFox Posted 1 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 January 2023 That killer pass at West Ham already consigned to irrelevance because it doesn't fit the narrative of 'he's shit'. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 A frustrating player, but better than most give him credit for. Ultimately, he'll go down as a poor signing, but I also fear we'll dream.of a signing like his in a few years... 😬🥺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't do it enough, his return for what we paid isn't anywhere near good enough at a time where we have never had a proper right winger who could have made it difficult for him to get a game, yet despite that Rodgers pretty much stopped trusting him barely a year after paying massive money for him. He has flashes of brilliance but like a chunk of this squad, his mentality let's him down. He doesn't seem to have that obsession with wanting to deliver and win games and dallies on the ball or brainlessly blazes a high proportion of chances over the bar. His final ball is poor too. Will go down as a mediocre to poor player here in a very successful era except for his final part of his contract and that says it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fair points Ric - however, my point was more 'here's evidence that contradicts - let's pretend it didn't happen, or was an aberration.'

What I do like about Perez is he has some teams that he does well against, like Nugent vs Ipswich. Perez vs West Ham and Southampton is staggering, look at his record for Newcastle and us. That's where I also get annoyed, I think he coasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 One of the many men that have earned much more than they should from the game thanks to Brendan Rodgers, it's no wonder he's so well liked. Capable of rare moments of brilliance, but very rarely delivers and with far too much regularity he kills attacks by making basic errors like misplaced passes or a honking touch. Seems like he's quite happy to have made a decent living from the game, think he's ready to go and enjoy his life back in Spain after this summer and who can blame him.

Yet our scouts and Brendan thought he was worth 30 million Do not remember that at all. They were cheesed off when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats aren't everything but I've seen him with my own eyes and they have confirmed to me at least that on this occasion the stats are absolutely bang on. Honestly wonder if we're all watching different games at times such are variances in opinions on one player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted 2 January 2023 Share Posted 2 January 2023 This thread makes me nostalgic for the days when Perez was our biggest problem. The one rusty cog in our otherwise well oiled team. Those were the days. Seems like years and years ago. He doesn't even make the top ten of problems we have now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
