dnewty Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Lot's of player's played badly today but those players have had lot's of good performances in the past. No one can say the same for Perez, does the odd good flick and absolutely nothing else as far as I'm concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danfox76 Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Perez was that bad Gray would have been better up front, and that's saying something 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Iheanacho has played well and delivered in the past at least. Time to get him back in the side, because Perez is absolutely woeful. Slow, clumsy... just shite. As I said in the match thread he’s like a poor mans Elvis Hammond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more than capable deputies. It’s pretty disgraceful how this fan base treat our squad players. Not as lone strikers they wouldn't. Iheanacho doesn't suit our system and Perez should be used as a 10 rather than up front on his own. Not their fault for sure, but they should be held accountable for their performances on the pitch. Quite frankly that was a disgraceful performance from Perez and questions should rightly be asked, he offered nothing for 89 minutes of that match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no reason we can't get someone like Giroud or someone of that ilk.

Col city fan Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Definitely wasn’t our worst player today. Maddison was utterly awful. He contributed absolutely nothing today And Perez just isn’t a striker. LCFC need to sort this out. The reliance on Vardy isn’t a joke anymore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigga Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Poor performances all over the pitch. tactically crap also. too many players strolling around when you really need to compete with an energetic Leeds team.. let’s hope it’s a blip as it was a similar time last season that injuries and poor form took hold that we couldn’t even shake after the covid delay to the season... we don’t have enough in the squad to cope without the likes of Vardy and Wilf... especially when games are going to come thick and fast.. Seems we are not in a position to spend though so it’s a case of suck it up and what will be will be.. I defo think a fresh face though would give us a lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to agree to disagree. I see nothing stopping us getting an exciting young player like Ollie Watkins or Che Adam's, even Callum Wilson (not necessarily now but of that ilk as I was crying out for them when they were brought from the championship to the premiership). Even the likes of Danny Ings if promised regular rotation would I'm sure rather play for us in a title race than Southampton.

You must have witnessed a different game then. He showed some nice touches at times but hes an expensively bought premier league forward, what do you expect. Outside of that, he consistently made poor choices, was lightweight, offers no threat in the box etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question I would ask you is who specifically? The giroud types are hard to find. Perez and Iheanacho both had decent records when we signed them and I will add iheanacho gets more than his fair share of goals over a season.

Dahnsouff Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Too late to replace this window, so we either stick with Perez in this role and hope it gains traction play Nacho and hope it better (and it is hope, not a certainty) Either way, they are treading water until Vardy is back, but please do not rush him back!!

JJD_LCFC Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Perez always gets slated. He is not a striker, or a winger and never has been. He is best played behind the lone striker. His effort is always very good. Brendan got it wrong by playing him as a lone striker ( + as a winger last year). Spend 30 million on a player with 0 attributes for where you pick and play him. If he plays you need 2 up top. Can not play the same system with Perez or Kelechi leading the line. Bamford was class today. That is how a lone striker plays.

majaco Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 He does some good things. He lacks the overall quality of many of our players. He does not deserve to be scapegoated. Unless we have become a really entitled club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people at our club who's entire job is scouting and recruitment and if they can honestly say they can't find any better backup to Vardy than Perez or Iheanacho then they are failing at life lol. That's all I'll say on the matter 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Harsh to blame the result on Perez when there were so many abject performances. But have to question Brendan why he started after the Everton game. Should have set alarm bells that we needed an out and out striker today. Wasn't his type of game from the start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
