Dahnsouff Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Let me start by saying What is going on do we think? He didn`t look like Marc yesterday, seemed "off" somehow. Is it lack of pitch time? Or is it something more final do we think? i.e.; has he been made aware of his standing within the team, and its getting him down? 4.50 on (Sorry - its "Sharks")
Sampson Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 He was great in the last round. It was just a poor performance. I dont think thrres anything wrong.
Meat and 2 veg Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 He wasn’t any better or worse than normal Marc imo. Works hard but lacks any sort of end product and must be a dream for a full back to play against.
TheSomersetFox Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Had somewhat of an off day but he still worked his bollocks off and got himself into good positions. Still a great player to have
les-tah Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 he seemed quite greedy last night... Whenever he had a shot or took on that extra man on he would of passed it sooner and set someone else up against a better opponent.
Fox92 Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 He's average, that's all. Can't fault his work effort but, contray to what people say, you need more than that to be a starter. He got into good positions last night but his final ball was poor. We've come along way since he first signed and our options of Perez and Barnes are much better.
Vacamion Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 One slightly off game. FFS. He's a club legend who starred in so many of our greatest moments and he always works his socks off without airs and graces. What's not to love? [taps nose and winks] You don't always have to take on and beat a man if you cross it early, or turn inside to cross.
CosbehFox Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 You seen from a number of players last night where the issue lies with playing cup games only. They lack the match fitness of competitive football. Notably decision making suffers
StanSP Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Just an off game. All players have them. Wouldn't look in to it too much.

One of the best crossers of the ball to ever play for LCFC, doesn't have end product?

murphy Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Do we really need a new thread just because a usually reliable player has an under par game?

Whilst I disagree that he has no end product, same as you, there's probably some truth to the assessment that he's a fullback's dream. Once the defence is set he can't beat a man and he's rather one footed as well, so he's easier to defend against as you just show him into his wrong foot.
filbertway Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Thought it summed him up to be fair. Put in a hell of a shift, did some stuff that looked top class and some stuff you'd expect to see on a Sunday morning down the local park. Marcy Marccccc.
Dahnsouff Posted 30 October 2019 Author Posted 30 October 2019 Polarised pedants every fewkin where The point of this thread was not to have a go at Marc FFS some people are so willingly outraged. The point was to query WHY he has not been involved more, as people state he has always been an important first team member, this season less so.

I really think it's just as simple as Rodgers wants goals from his wingers, and if he can't, Rodgers'll take players who he thinks could have goals in them if he's lucky, and Albrighton must be the bottom of his list

onekeithweller Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Just an off night but he's also much more effective with Vardy in the team causing panic in defences, drawing defenders out of position and creating space to play into.
Remember Kember Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 I agree he had an off night last night in terms of his decision making but his overall work rate was still there. He was my favourite player from the title winning side but the fact is the team has moved on. He is still a vital member of the squad and made a positive contribution when he came on at Southampton however we now have so many options in wide areas that his starting opportunities are going to be limited. Knowing him as we all do he will just knuckle down and do what is asked of him.
baldeagle Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Apart from not being able to score last night I thought he was one of our better players
Guest TheBear Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 Typical Albrighton performance of the last 2 years for me, a lot of graft and endeavour but seriously lacking in any real quality. I think that our team has just outgrown him to some extent. Good to bring on as a sub to see out a game but no where near a starting role and wouldn't consider bringing him off of the bench to change the game...
Beechey Posted 30 October 2019 Posted 30 October 2019 They're all allowed an off-game. Shouldn't change our opinions of him even slightly. I think he should have been substituted off purely because he was having one of those games, but I'd still happily play him again.

It would be more critical if we'd lost that game because of him missing 2 or 3 one-on-ones. Thankfully we're creating so many chances that him missing his chances didn't change the outcome.

Iheanacho made some fine runs which dragged the defence out of position yesterday, including making the space for the second goal. I don't think that's it.
