Should have come off when Vestergaard did, if not earlier.

 

He cannot beat players. Only option is to go back all the time. 

 

I understand playing him, after he scored, but Vardy's pace has always frightened them and we needed it today.

Looks no where near the player he was.  Seems to have lost all his pace. He has been a great player for us but not good enough for a side who want to be qualifying for Europe every year.

His corners were awful. I thought Bertrand was going to be taking them now?

Same. Bertrand's set pieces were good during pre season!

I like Albrighton, you know what you're going to get from him but whilst certain others are consistently in the 11 (often ahead of him) I think this discussion is for another day,

Albrighton was not the problem yesterday, he worked tirelessly in support of Castagne helping to try and deal with Grealish & Cancelo. He played the ball to Vardy in the build up to the Barnes cut back, the flick to Castagne in the build up to Barnes hitting the bar & the ball to Kelechi for the Lookman opportunity - he was involved in anything positive we did!

It amazes me how he can’t take a corner, mind you none of our players can… but considering he’s a decent crosser of the ball it’s double weird 

Well in pre-season Bertrand took some crackers & free kicks also, but for some reason he wasn't used yesterday. Just another baffling decision.

Yeah definitely as part of the squad, no Leicester fan would argue that. However not good enough to start big prem games like yesterday.

This 100% he did the hard work that goes unnoticed a lot, he was chasing whilst they knocked  it around in triangles around him, knowing he would not get the ball but putting the pressure on. He was tired and deserved to be tired with the work he put in

I still can't understand how people don't realise he runs around a lot because he's constantly out of position. 

There are sides that will be relegated from this league, that wouldn't even start him.

 

 

Starting him, with players like Iheanacho/Daka/Soumare/KDH on the bench is just depressing.

he is so slow you may think he is 36

no use of his workrate, he and castagne were outplayed all the time.

I mean he is great guy i am sure, but the fact that he is starter for us is disastrous

Was that after he'd just given the ball away again? He's completed less than 50% of his attempted passes this season. Nobody else in the squad has completed less than 65%.

Fbref (which I assume is where you got this figure from) includes corners as a pass, so his numbers get skewed more than others.

 

Also a large portion of his passes attempted are switches across the pitch and crosses, most likely I assume are attempts to play the ball in behind for Vardy.

No. He hasn’t been for a while. The fact that we resigned him will turn out to be a bad decision. Some how he’s still our best RW, though…

Don't be daft, he's fine as a squad player and he's happy to be that

He’s the perfect player to bring on in a game where he can defend deep and ping long counter attacking passes. He shouldn’t be starting because he’s so slow and predictable.

 

I do like him but if we want to play this BR’s sort of football we need someone who is physically and technically better than him.

 

Only person I can think of in out squad to go out there is Ricardo or Lookman. I would still much rather have Albrighton ahead of Perez
