StriderHiryu Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 An indifferent start for sure. In the last two games he has had moments, specifically he's got into great positions to play Vardy through with a good through ball and fluffed his lines. He's got the look of a player that is trying a bit too hard rather than letting his natural game take over. Still he's a trier and fights hard every game. He gets pushed off the ball a lot, but often is tenacious enough to get it back. I think he needs a goal to settle him down and raise his confidence. I still think he's decent, but for those asking why Albrighton or Barnes isn't in ahead of him, they have a point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox85 Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 This is the problem. I'd prefer to start barnes over perez I'd prefer to start D Gray over Perez. I think because he cost 30m it's hard not to play him. I think we over paid by about 20m. He does put a shift in thou wont write him off I hope he comes good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analysethis Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 Some of our fans dismissed him before he signed and you get the feeling the wouldnt mind him failing to prove a point. Perez has got skills and has got very good talent to play in the fluid system we are trying. However, him along with most of our creative players like Tielemans, Praet and Maddison are not match sharp yet. They have been lazy and slow in the pass at times and arent timing the pass through to Vardy. IMO, in time that will come. as they get match fit they can run more and there passing will be sharper. Lets not bury Ayoze after 3 games FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lovejoy Posted 24 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 24 August 2019 Easy to criticise but his desire to win the ball high up led to our opener today. He'll know there's more to come as much as anyone but not been terrible. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sycokilla Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 He just needs to get his passing together, in every game he seems to produce too many misplaced passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelcfc100 Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 I thought he was the worst player on the pitch today. Not been too impressed with the other two games either to be honest. I’ve got a Geordie mate who’s a season ticket holder and he says he’s either unplayable or dog shit. Not sure 30 mill is a good price for someone so inconsistent. Early days yet though, fingers crossed he starts to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason Gray should play for us again is if we have some unholy injury crisis. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eblair Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 Not sure if it his fault but if Maddison plays on the other wing, we have two relatively slow wingers. Need at least one direct and pacey winger, also don’t think Maddison suits playing left wing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to **** off and give him time to bed in. Yeah this. Whilst everyone has the right to criticise you’ve got to give players a run of about 5-10 games minimum to pass judgement IMO. When people criticise Nacho or Gray they have a point as both have tons of appearances for us. For Soyuncu, Praet, Perez, JJ and Benkovic they need support! It’s also notable that despite some false starts that Choudhury, Soyuncu and Barnes all look good now. All 3 have had poor games especially in their initial appearances. Perez could still turn out to be a flop but saying that after 3 games is crazy. I wonder if he will get any time against Newcastle? I doubt he’ll start but I think a goal would do him the world of good. Right now we have the same problem since we sold Mahrez - we only have one player who reliably gets us goals. That’s why it was great Barnes scored as I feel a confident Barnes can hit double figures because he has a real knack of getting into scoring positions.

Jonezy Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 I like him. His end product need to be a lot sharper, but he is aggressive and wins a lot of balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 I've been underwhelmed. He looked so good last season and I was chuffed with the signing. He worked well off Rondon, maybe that's what he's missing- a tager man partner, but his game needs to be more than that. I'd like a return of 4141 and more settling time for AP.

Ric Flair Posted 24 August 2019 Share Posted 24 August 2019 Won the ball in their half that then set Vardy up for his goal, that's exactly one of the reasons we signed him to press and win the ball in positions that allow quick balls through to Vardy. I thought he was better today as he was given the freedom to play right, left or in the centre at times and it was better for him. He's still some way off being at his best but I'm not hugely concerned that he is a waste of money, I think he'll be great here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
