Hollyfox Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 1 hour ago, Aus Fox said: I would recommend going and rewatching the game, the press he put on their back line was outstanding. He won the ball back in their half time and time again. Best game for us today and I only see him getting better. I'll have to have another look then. Watching from inside the stadium, I thought he needed to do much, much more. Not saying he won't be OK going forward but he was our weak link today and didn't cause spurs enough problems.

TMELcfc Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 I think despite his slowish start we are better with him in the side... pressing is much better. I think what Brendan picked today is probably our best 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charl91 Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 (edited) To me he seemed to be handy at receiving long passes yesterday (his first touch seems quite good), and he's good when we're in and around the box because he's got quick feet and good control. He doesn't seem as effective on the counter though - he's not particularly fast, seems to linger on the ball to long and can be a little lightweight. I'm thinking that he may be better against those "lower table" teams where we run up against a brick wall and need to break them down a bit more. Overall he's not had the most explosive start, but I can see the potential there. Certainly seemed better with yesterdays formation though.

Blanchflower78 Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Best game yet, lots more improvements needed but much better from him. Hope he breaks his duck against the geordies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc sheff Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Front three of barnes vardy and Perez is our best option atm. Get to January / summer transfer window and then we can reassess but for now it’s best to persist with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he should be one of the first names on team sheet, obviously not being rewarded for taking on Rodgers' remit, very disappointed...!

Albrighton will keep getting his chance - just needs to take it and make Brendan change his mind, healthy squad competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk exile Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 He had a much better game yesterday. Feeling much more confident he's going to make it here. Definitely gave us a greater balance to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made every Manager since Pearson change his mind. I'd have him in the Team also for his work rate. But BR is looking for more Goals from his wide men to help Vardy None of the wide players are prolific scorers except maybe Barnes as he progresses. As the squad develops further it may be difficult for Mark to find a place in the Team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 23 September 2019 Share Posted 23 September 2019 He was very good on the ball, but his work off it needs improving but it will, I'm sure. Look at maddison this season. Perez on saturday backed out of so many challenges he was clear favourite to win, he's petrified of a physical battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we signed him we were told he will at times look lightweight and not aggressive enough but will win a lot of tackles and overturns from pressing. He's going to be one of those erratic players which we've seen many over the years for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whilst I think that he will be able to perform on the wing in the 4-1-4-1, I think saying he was a right winger at Newcastle is like saying Salah last season was Liverpool's right winger. Technically correct, but does not fully encompass their role, contributions and even overall position in attack to the team. I actually think he could perform well in the second striker role that Barnes ably took on after Perez got subbed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he could perform well in the second striker role that Barnes ably took on after Perez got subbed off. Haha he's a modern forward who doesn't stick to the touch line and only concentrate on crossing but to simply say he is being played out of position is incorrect. For Newcastle he has spent the large majority of his career being selected to play wide right but obviously drifts in with the ball or when the action comes from the left hand side trying to attack crosses (see his winner against us last season). We don't need him to maintain that width constantly down the right, we have one of the best right backs in Ricardo and Perez offering the decoy was used with great effect on Saturday and he did what he does best at pressing and over turning the ball on a number of occasions. People make out like he's come here as the ideal Okazaki replacement and should be played off Vardy but in reality he's never been restricted to that as his favoured role. If he is going to do well here it's in a 4-1-4-1 formation or as you say as the 2nd forward in the diamond where he can drift all over the place.

Yea it surprised me a little on Saturday how little a fight he put up against rose at times by his ball control in the tight areas was beautiful to watch, I'm quite lucky with where I sit so had a great view of his play first half as it tended to be right in front of me when he was hit by kasper. Maybe once he's more confident/comfortable he'll add it back to his game and we'll have a really good player on our hands? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxin_Mad Posted 23 September 2019 Share Posted 23 September 2019 He has some nice touches so obviously has quality. I have a feeling he is over thinking the simple stuff at the moment. I think if we give him time he will come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
