volpeazzurro 3,207 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October 12 hours ago, honeybradger said: One of the weirdest signings weve made in the PL, was useless at newcastle for half of 18/19 then had a good run of form towards the end of the year playing off rondon making him their top scorer. I cant see how our scouts didnt factor how bad he was in the first half of that season before newcastle's system change as that half of the season was more relevant to how we play which is without perez hugging a target man. At least slimani had a quality season with sporting beforehand, at least ghezzal was a left footed rw to try and replace mahrez, i just cant see how our scouts thought Perez would fit into this side. Wasn't Perez a player that allegedly Rodgers specifically wanted as opposed to our usual scouting channels? Hence possibly his continued selection in the forlorn hope that he might come good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he's regularly slaughtered on here for not being a Mo Salah type wide forward, which he's not. I'll stick with my view that he was, unusually perhaps, our best forward last night.

Kevin Russell 191 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October He works hard, has a decent touch, but he is not a player that makes us stronger - he gives the ball away a lot too. I really want him to be good, but I find Rodgers continued faith in him enormously frustrating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FoxinNotts 1,534 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October With Vardy Injured, I think we should give him a go down the middle. I think he’d operate in a two better tbh. maybe Ünder/Albrighton RHS Slimani/Iheancho No.9 & Perez in behind Barnes/Gray LHS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Always Next Year 248 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October With Vardy injured, I think we should give him a go in the dressing room. I think he’d operate better with a brush in one hand and a mop in the other tbh or maybe not. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s been appalling. He’s been consistently our weakest link yet he gets defended on here after every game. He isn’t going to come good, he’s just not very good. £30 mill down the pan.

Anyone and everyone knew when we bought him he was a £12m routine, non descript, unremarkable lower half PL player. And that we'd spunked £30m on him. 18 months in and still his finest moment for us was scoring in the last minute for us at St James, albeit he was playing for the oppo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When he has got the brush however, he's got a nice touch and is best coming from behind apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sampson 2,889 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October 54 minutes ago, baldeagle said: Just seen this be interesting to see what some people think to it Don't know about the stats or 2nd best played, but he was clearly better than Tielemans, Barnes or Iheanacho. He's not had the best start to a season, but last night was certainly a weird night to scapegoat him on, because there were much worse performances from our other attacking/creative players. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reynard 1,207 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October Last night was better but overall he's not been value for the money spent. For sides like us if you're going to spend 30 million on one player they have to make a significant difference. He hasn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
honeybradger 487 Posted 19 October Report Share Posted 19 October (edited) 4 hours ago, baldeagle said: Just seen this be interesting to see what some people think to it Apart from an ok cross into slimani i cant remember any other chances he created, in terms of the other stats he's always been good defensively for us that's not the problem, the problem is that this is the 4th game running this season where he's had no obvious threat going forwards aside from a few unthreatening shots and 2 forgettable chances created. The other underperformers in this game such as barnes, tielemans and praet have all had good starts to the season to fall back on, perez does not (iheanacho is also being talked about negatively despite this being his first start this season). The criticism he's getting is based on him being ineffective from the right wing because he cant cut inside, he cant cross, he cant carry the ball up the wing, all of which is expected of a winger, not necessarily because he played bad but because he is very limited in that position, it's not his fault so it may seem harsh but it's just how it is.

Again, people think Perez was bad yesterday... look at Barnes or Praet, both did the arse end of fook all. How about this.... Perez, Barnes & Praet were all shite. Perez you can give credit as he tried to do something with the ball, regardless of how poorly that went. Barnes looks like he thinks hes the dogs bollocks at the moment (which I like) but it didnt come off for him Praet was a passenger and isn't a number 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LCFCCHRIS 180 Posted 20 October Report Share Posted 20 October If he's been scapegoated it's because he is consistently very average as a winger. You never really believe he'll do anything apart from a simple pass to someone who might do something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pmcla26 1,946 Posted 20 October Report Share Posted 20 October If Perez was a Leicester lad and Barnes was Spanish it’d be amazing to see the contrast in people’s opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
