Said it in the match thread, but I think Fatawu could be converted to the Ricardo role. Seems to have the talents for both attacking and defensive roles.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Loved his bird impressions tonight flapping his arms up and down every 5 mins. First was of a Norwegian Blue (parrot) if I'm not mistaken.

[funkyrobot]

One of Winksy’s poorest games for us, he was continually targeted in the 2nd half. The instant he got the ball he was pressed by 3 Sunderland players and he gave away the ball multiple times in dangerous areas. It was a good tactic tbf. 

[Hammo]

Mavididi and KDH both dreadful. Winks not much better.

 

KDH in the last seconds… wtf was he doing?? So nearly cost us two precious points. Inexcusable.

[justfoxes]

Abdul Fatawu take a bow tonight he was here there and every fuching where great going forward superb coming back to help defend, certainly got my MOTM tonight !

By the way who did sky give it to tonight more likely a black cat !

[Brooksy]

KDH probably the worst of the lot. Thought Winks was appalling.

Fatawu motm and that's for his defensive contribution.

[Topman]

KDH and Mavididi been so bad but unfortunately we don't have anyone to replace them, today KDH over hit every simple ball, giving away in dangerous position and got away with it same with Winks! Only player that came out with any credit was the defence, as soon we go a goal up we just sat back and invite pressure, I don't understand why we don't go for th le 2nd 3rd? Is this the manager decision? Or the players lacking belief?

Winks was out because he relies on balls from Vesty. Those balls weren’t being played to him. The issue was with Cody and Doyle.

Happened in the QPR game too. Doubled up on the wingers and sat one guy on Winks all game. Without Ricardo he's doing all the work in there because Hamza's not used to the inverted role and kept drifting back wide.

Winks (as he did at Leeds) looked really lightweight at times. Thank god Ndidi is back; we need some more physicality in the midfield. 

Fatawu MOTM. Thought Doyle and Coady also played well. Vardy very good first half. 

 

it’s great to win but the performance was worrying. Why do we take our foot off the gas once we get a goal and allow teams to creep back into games? Must be Manager tactics. 

[Sly]

Fotmob had Hermansen as MotM

[Scanchez]

Thought Coady was MOTM.

Winks had a stinker for once.

[Blueman1967]

Coady was steady, as was Mavididi, Vardy scored, good to see Ndidi back
