funkyrobot Posted 24 August 2013 Share Posted 24 August 2013 Think people are being harsh on drinky. He was our most attacking midfielder in the first half. Got into some good positions. Ok he should've scored but he was always positive and teed up a great chance for wood. I thought only wood was disappointing today. The team played some lovely football. Some great technique shown and James did one move near the touch line that was top class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 24 August 2013 Share Posted 24 August 2013 Looking through this its funny seeing all the different views on Whitbread, especially the person who reckoned Moore made the mistake for the goal but gave him a better rating than the "decent" Whitbread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area88 Posted 25 August 2013 Share Posted 25 August 2013 I would give Dyer a 9, how anyone can justify a 7 is beyond me. He was a one man team yesterday. He was beating everybody, 3 or 4 players a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inckley fox Posted 25 August 2013 Share Posted 25 August 2013 No but it doesn't change the fact that they were awful. Which is what your original comment was disputing. We just happened to be awful(er!) for 5 minutes. So yeah, it does work that way. We're not talking about goals here we're talking about how they played. That they could have come away with anything at all is testament to the fact that we had a spell of extreme weakness. They were very poor. Fair enough. I think I've seen worse, I just thought we were pretty decent on the day. Kasper 6 - Could do little about either goal, otherwise had little to do. RDL 6 - His slow start continues, much better when he has a winger to overlap. Schlupp 7 - Thought he gave us a good option going forward and gave them problems. Whitbread 7 - Won EVERYTHING in the air. Absolutely everything. Suspect on the floor but knows how to give a cynical foul away and got some vital foot ins today. Moore 8 - Fantastic yet again, hope his great start continues, now a reliable defender. Drinky 6 - Got into some great positions, but certainly should've hit the target from 10 yards out. James 8 - Got better as the game went on, much better in a midfield 2, fantastically quick feet. King 6 - Thought he was very sloppy for the most part, but what a fantastic goal. Vardy 9 - MOTM, deserved his goal, worked hard and put them under pressure. Wood 5 - Poor, but we're not playing to his strengths. Nuge 6 - Dropped deep a bit too much, but created a goal and scored one. Dyer 8 - Changed the game and was unplayable. Shame he can't do it all the time. Knocky 7 - lovely flick for the second goal, his movement is brilliant, so hard to mark as he draws others out of position, creates space for others. Spot on for me, including the comments. I'd perhaps nudge King up to a 7, but other than that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 25 August 2013 Share Posted 25 August 2013 Schmeichel- 6 De Laet- 6 Moore- 6 Whitbread- 7 Schlupp- 7 Drinkwater- 5 (Decent build up but poor finishing) James- 7 (Excellent last 25, brilliant when seeing the game out) King- 8 (Good, solid display capped by a fabulous goal) Wood- 5 Nugent- 7 (Seemed happier today, confident penalty) Vardy- 8 (Worked hard, gave them little peace and good goal) Subs- Dyer- 7 (The good side of Lloyd. Hard running and sensible decision-making) Knockaert- 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
