An attacking midfielder isn't always going to be successful in their passes, it shouldn't result in a goal though if we're in the oppositions half, it's really not madders fault 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrefelderFox666 Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 We've been average at best. If we can step it up, we can sneak this one. Luckily Schmeichel has been outstanding and we are still in this. Not all is lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the time it's a bandwagon trend to slate him. Maddison and Perez are trying to occupy the same space and both are suffering because of it. Perez has very rarely displayed a reason for playing him up front and all he can do, with his lack of pace, is hold it up and lay it off. For him to fcuk up his first go at that when under no pressure at all clearly showed how he was about to play and he needs an unprecedented turnaround to rescue this. I suspect he'll be off for Iheanacho soon though. Edited 31 January 2021 by Flappit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copunk Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Mendy getting by passed a bit too easy, looks skakey today, kasper standout player for me for his saves, Barnes playing well enough and did brilliantly for his goal, could go either way this one, disappointing to conceded straight after we scored, been defensively solid last month or so, so to see us cut open that easily was gutting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fktf Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Missed the 1st half - how are we looking? Seems from comments that we're second best, but ft match threads are always full of over reaction.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 We're in a proper game. We're really missing Ndidi, I think Mendy is struggling to have an impact on the game. Maddison doesn't seem quite on it but Leeds are pressing really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played well Leeds but are only drawing still and gave chances away, we can easily win this even if Leeds do play well. I mean they’ve done exactly what they wanted to do and they’ve turned the game in to a basketball match and we’ve let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez does get alot of stick, but I have noticed he isnt aggressive in anyway shape or form, and is easily muscled out of play, be nice too see him get a bit more scrappy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 We'll go 3 at the back. Would rather put Justin in there and save a sub but that means Ricardo going over to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the ball away over 10 times? Dont over exaggerate to try and make a point. Even the commentators said he gave it away alot. Don't try and Under exaggerate to make your point sound more valid than my point. Take him off put under on and we win.

sdb Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Real lack of pace. Wilf and Vardy were perfect for this game. Madders and Perez too similar and need some direction at ht. I'd go 352 for more pace and better chance of defending (maybe even attacking) set pieces.

Phube Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Can Leeds keep up the 5 players swarming to the ball for the second half? If so it's a loss/draw. If not (or we play faster passes and not backwards) then we win. Simples! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 I thought Perez had some great touches but it’s all coming when he’s coming back to goal and nothing really happens afterwards. I don’t think it’s working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 We still have two Jamie's in the squad according to sky. Carragher has identified Jamie,ie Maddison. I think it was Souness who picked out Jamie Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Just now, Facecloth said: I think Albrighton has been fine, great run at one point. I mean fine bring Under on, but it won't change anything massively. We need focal point up front, the wingers are fine. I disagree. He hasn't even had an average half. I don't blame him because this isn't the style of game he thrives in. We need someone quicker and more dynamic than a work horse. He can play poorly but still not be bad, I dont see the issue beyond you just seemingly don't rate Ünder which is fine. But Albrighton can still also have a bad game.

Seems from comments that we're second best, but ft match threads are always full of over reaction.. Could be better. We struggle with their high intensity and very active pressing all over the pitch. I trust in the players to react and respond better to it in the 2nd half. We do need to be careful about their midfield runs from deep, though. A few times they've got through and Kasper has saved us. Definitely need to be sharper and quicker with the passing to get round their press. Need our creative players to get going quickly - Barnes and Maddison especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
