Overall how are we doing? Can’t watch or listen as I am at work.

I think we’re playing pretty well tbh. Looking slick and sharp

At the moment we are excellent.

I’m just gonna focus on Perez whilst he’s on the pitch, to see what all the fuss is about on here ;) 


Notes so far (in self isolation and have nothing better to do):

 

2nd minute - aware of the movement of Maddison and Vardy, drifts in field to occupy the ten role as Madders goes AWOL

 

3rd minute - tracks back well, break up opposition attack 

 

6th minute - great interception from the keeper, slides in Maddison who’s first touch is poor the

 

9th minute - stretches but fails to meet slightly over hit pass from Barnes, had drifted into #10 again to offer for the ball 

 

10th minute - dribbles in field, just about finds Maddison, who moves the ball on, eventually lost by Barnes 

 

11th minute - drops in alongside Youri to give more passing options to CBs as Villareal press high  

 

12th minute - driving run by Bertrand, Perez is the only player in the box for him to hit, but he is bought down for a FK (he’s on front post duty, ball goes over him from the set play) 

 

14th minute - moves infield as RP drives up, Perez move into the half space and makes room for Ricardo to run into, they try a 1-2 but their defender intercepts the return pass. Some very tidy triangles with him Riccy and Fofana follow. 

 

17th minute - another great run into the half space and he is in behind - swings a nice looking ball in but just over the head of Vardy. Ball comes back to him, another dangerous cross in but he is offside

 

20th minute - trend continues that when off the ball he is drifting infield and close to Maddison and vardy, as ricardo intercepts he is making a run off the shoulder of the last defender, but the pass is blocked 

 

21st minute - found on the edge of the box, good close control, crisp pass, finds Barnes, who passes to Maddison who is bought down for a FK (Maddison is being fouled a lot) 

 

GENERAL NOTE - throughout the game so far, he makes quite a lot of lateral runs from the wing to and from the number 10 position, to widen and narrow the shape depending where the ball is, and where Maddison is. 

 

24th minute - presses their winger in our defensive third, with Ricardo, who forces the ball out for a throw 

 

25th minute - in defence he moves back in line with Youri, covering the rightmost lane 

 

26th minute - on the break he is 2nd highest player. Poor through pass from Maddison fails to find Vardy 

 

 

Very solid from him so far. Impressed.

Not too bad. 

 

Pereira looks good going forward up the pitch. Centre backs comfortable. Maddison on the ball a lot and getting fouled just as much. Vardy looks a bit isolated. Tielemans with some classy touches.

Villareal look miles off the pace, La Liga starts after us right?

Same weekend I think.

That’s a sad level of detail for a friendly but fair play
