theessexfox Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 What a win, so many top performances Kasper - 8 - Brilliant RDL - 6 - Looked clumsy, nothing going forward Morgan - 9 - Immense, back to his best Moore - 9 - Immense Konch - 7 - Did well Knocky - 7 - A lot of hard work Drinky - 7 - Played well James - 8 - Pick of the midfield Dyer - 7 - Dangerous, lacking end product Nugent - 7 - Worked hard, hassled well Vardy - Worked hard, hassled well and scored a good goal GTF - 6 - Didn't do a lot Schlupp - 5 - Poor hold up play when we needed to keep possession Was - 6 - Did alright NP - 10 - Spot on
Danno Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Schmeichel 7 - some great stops De Laet 6 - meh Morgan 9 - absolute rock Moore 9 - ' ' Konchesky 9 - different class Knockaert 7 - did OK Drinkwater 9 - best midfielder in the championship by far James 9 - classsssss Dyer 7 - worked hard Vardy 8 - great goal Nugent 8 - much better, almost got 2 assists.
martyn Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Vardy, Moore and Morgan 9 Nugent 8 Everyone else 7 except De Laet 5
Rasmic123 Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kasper 8 - solid as a rock all game De Laet 6 - Had a difficult time against Hoillett Moore - 10 An absolute rock, him and Morgan look like the best centre back partnership in the championship Morgan - 9 Same as Moore, absolutely fantastic Konch - 7 Very solid Knocky - 7 Poor in first half but proved to be an attacking threat in the second Drinky - 7 Played fairly well but I wish he'd have a pop sometimes instead of always looking for the pass, on the edge of the box you should be shooting not spreading it out wide James - 7 Solid Dyer - 7 Hit and miss but was always dangerous Vardy - 8 Great goal and ran hard all day Nugent - 7 Put a good shift in
bluesbrothers Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 The pressure was mad. That's one hell of a shift everyone has put in. Kasper - 8 - Brilliant RDL - 7 - Steady as ever. Glad he's back Morgan - 9 - Immense Moore - 9 - Brilliant foil for Wes, our definite first 2 at CB. Konch - 8 - Didn't stop moving forward, some great tackles, absorbed some torrid pressure well. One of his best games for the club, full stop. Knocky - 7 - A lot of hard work Drinky - 8 - He's here, he's there, he's every fookin' where... James - 7 - Brilliant start, bit quiet after the card (understandably) but so unlucky to rattle the bar. Dyer - 7 - Great workrate again! Shocking shooting today, but who cares when he created that much. Nugent - 7.5 - Hassled them all half and great head for Vardy's goal. Also bonus half for the squirrel incident. Vardy - 8 - Great goal, great workrate, completely different player this season. GTF - 7.5 - Played a massive game from the bench. Got stuck in, played some top passes and of course got Mr. Barton his marching orders! Schlupp - 5.5 - Chasing everything down. Needs to work on his touch Was - 6 - Not on for long but helped see the game out. Nutted by Benayoun and barely even noticed. Hilarious.Squirrel - 10 - Sign him up
ScouseFox Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kasper 7.5 - saved when he needed to. Not much to do second half compared to what I expected. De Laet 5.5 - consistently poor in possession, ok defensively. Morgan 9 - Rock solid. Back to his best. Moore 9 - A young Wes Morgan. Konchesky 8 - Shaky start, thought he'd end up getting terrorised by Phillips but he dealt with him nicely in the end. Knocky 7 - Quiet going forward, one or two sparks but did well helping out and kept it simple when necessary. Drinky 8 - Classy. James 7.5 - Quietly effective, unlucky not to bag. Dyer 7 - Usual self. Should've scored, mind. Vardy 9 - King. Nuge 7.5 - Defensive striker was his position today.
kingfox Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Schmeichel 7 - Some key saves De Laet 6 - Passing poor at times, probs our weakest player today Morgan 8 - Absolute rock, kept Austin quiet Moore 9 - MOTM, headed everything, quality performance Konchesky 8 - Pleasantly surprised, how he kept Phillips quiet, well done Konch Knockaert 7 - In and out the game, not effective enough in my opinion Drinkwater 8 - Couple of sloppy passes, but the amount of times I said "Well in Drinky" must of been pushing 20. James 7 - Kept to his task, closed down well Dyer 7 - Like Knocky in and out the game a lot Nugent 7 - Hustled and bustled, a little bit better Vardy 8 - Bags of energy, and a quality finish
bovril Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 From the tele:Kasper - 9 Pretty much faultless, and kept us in it at a difficult time. RDL - 6 Moore - 9 Morgan - 8 Konch - 7 I think he's underrated, I haven't seen him run ragged this season despite his years. Drinky - 7 Ball retention can improve. James - 8 Dyer - 6.7234 Arghhh, pacey and dangerous but jesus try to do something with the ball.Knocky - 8 Kept the ball well when we were coming under pressure.Vardy - 8 Great goal, great effort. Nugent - 8 Unsung hero again. He is pivotal to our chances.
Lloydy Dyer Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kasper - 8 Dealt with everything he needed to and had pretty decent distribution as well today RDL - 7 Nothing bad, nothing good Moore - 9 Wow! This boy can play, hope he gets another good run of games now Morgan - 9 Brilliant as always. Never missed a tackle and showed great strength Konchesky - 7 Same as RDL but with some good balls down the left side as well Drinkwater - 8 Together with James orchestrated the whole City game and especially good in 2nd half James - 8 See above Dyer - 7 Not his best game, should have got some of his shots on target but nevertheless great pace down the wing Knockaert - 8 Struggled to get into the game at start but never gave up and put in as much effort today as he ever has Vardy - 9 1 million quid? sounds like a bargain to me Nugent - 9 looks likes he's learning from vardy now, ran his socks off all game and looked rejuvinated
brockmyster Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kasper 7 - solid enough De Laet 7 - glad hes back much steadier at the right Morgan 8 - Brick wall like usual Moore 7 - Some cracking blocks Konchesky 8 - back to his old self brilliant performance Knockhaert 7 - Worked well defensively for once James 7 - Held midfield well Drinkwater 7 - Needs to ****ing clear it sometimes instead of ****ing about, but same as above Dyer 6 - Meh shouldve scored Vardy 9 - Brilliant, finally showing people what hes about Nugent 7 - Like the old nugent, worked hard
Dickov22 Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kasper 7 Made some good stops but a couple of corners he could have come for, but didn't De Laet 5 Could have given away a penalty. Given a hard time. Morgan 9 Absolute rock. Back to his best Moore 9 Shows what I know as I'd have played Miquel before the game. Moore was excellent- such a brave player who gives everything. Konchesky 7 Did his job. Fantastic header clear late on Dyer 6 Some awful finishing today but worked hard and provided us with a good outlet Drinkwater 9 Gave everything. Got some very important blocks and tackles in, used the ball well. Brilliant James 7 Disciplined performance against some top midfielders Knockaert 6.5 Did his job and defended well. Unable to create much Vardy 9 Workrate, touch, movement all brilliant. What a goal. Nugent 7 Better than recent games. Worked hard, did well for the goal Schlupp 4 Shows what I know (again) as I thought he might start today. His use of the ball was atrocious. Poor GTF 7 Did exactly the job Pearson's brought him here to do. Some good touches, and brought a calmness to our play when in possession. Wasilewski 7 Did fine. Almost gave away a pen though! In Nigel we trust
Tielemans63 Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Thought we did well to play with 10 men after Schlupp came on....
Bettsj2 Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kapser 8 - Good saves, good handling. Bad conditions for a keeper but he handled everything well. RDL 6 - Match time he needs and bearing in mind the length of time he's been out, cant be too critical. Wes 9 - Best performance of the season Moore 9 - Best performance ever. Austin tried to target him and Moore just bullied him. Konch 7 - Steady game. Didnt venture forward which helped maintain our defensive gameplan. Knocky 7 - Played a very free role today but always ran his balls offto get back into the defensive right side position. Mature performance and only gave it away a couple of times. Drinky 8 - Bossed the middle James 8 - Looking like the player towards the end of last season Dyer 8 - Always an outlet and mostly dangerous with it. Feet turned to Toblerone when shooting. Nugent 8 - Much better performance. Ran, hassled and linked with Vardy very well. Vardy 9 - All round game was excellent and the finish was superb. Subs GTF 7 - Held it well, linked play and put his foot in. Schluppenator 6 - If he could pass he'd have played Dyer in twice. Only member of the squad that looks to be going backwards. Was 7 - Big and mean was just what we needed at that point. Nigel Pearson 10 - The perfect away performance. Let them have it and frustrated them.
Bert Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Kasper 7 - A standard game for him. Commanding, some nice saves and good distribution. RDL 6 - More time under his belt after a long lay off, did ok for most of the game. Konch 7 - Solid, didn't let their pacey wingers bother him. That's experience for you. Morgan 9 - His best game of the season so far. Moore 8 - Didn't think he was as good as Wes today but he still put a beastly performance in. Knocky 7 - Added a decent amount of work rate to his game today, sometimes he switched off though. Whenever he had the ball all he had in his mind was to go goal. Dyer 7 - Wasted 2 Golden chances, again. Starting to become a regular thing. Always have them a problem with his pace though. Drinky 8 - Ran the game for us. He's such a massive player for us. James 8 - Him and Drinky compliment each other so well. Unlucky not to score. Did well picking up the scraps today. Nuge 7 - Worked hard, and got an assist (not sure if it counts though because it was a header? ) more of the same on Thursday. Vardy 7 - Great enthusiasm, work rate and endeavour. He'd not have scored that goal last season because he wouldn't have had the confidence to shoot. Great instinctive first time finish. GTF 6 - Did ok, another one who offers a lot just with his experience. Schlupp 6 - Not on for long, I thought he did ok though. Wasyl NA.
Corky Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Schmeichel- 8 (Some crucial saves and distribution was thoughtful) De Laet- 7 Morgan- 8 Moore- 8 Konchesky- 7 Knockaert- 7 Drinkwater- 9 James- 8 Dyer- 6 Nugent- 6 Vardy- 8
The Blur Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Schmeichel- 9 MOTM Kept us in the game at times De Laet- 6 Ok defensively disappointing in attack Morgan- 8 Thought he was getting found out a lot on the floor in the first half. Recovered in second half. Moore- 9 Close to MOTM for me. Immense in second half. Konchesky- 7 Did his shift but there was a brief period where he got drawn to the box at times too often leaving Dyer to do all of defending on left wing. Knockaert- 7 Worked hard Drinkwater- 8 Made some great interceptions and passes James- 7 Solid and sensible Dyer- 7 Our best and worst attacking threat. If Knocky has his chances.... Nugent- 7.5 Did his bit- Much better than his performance at Watford when I last attended a city game Vardy- 8 The player that we all know and love. Great finish. Schlupp 5- Tried hard but wasteful in possession GTF 7- Slowed the game down- wish Schlupp has his touch and mind. Was- Not enough time
Guest ttfn Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Schmeichel 8 - Some good stops and distribution was pretty good considering the atrocious conditions. De Laet 6 - Did fine up against some tricky wingers. Morgan 9 - Best player on the pitch, amongst a batch of ex-England internationals. Moore 8.5 - Second best player on the pitch Konchesky 7.5 - Solid Knockaert 6.5 - Entirely ineffective in the first half, better in the second. Surprisingly useful at the end of the game, using the ball intelligently. James 7 - Did fine, came close to doubling our lead. Drinkwater 7.5 - On the whole he used the ball very well. Still wish he'd move it quicker, but whenever we threatened to do anything he was invariably involved. Dyer 7 - Dangerous but wasteful. Nugent 6 - Another lackadaisical performance. Bottled at least 3 50/50s in the first half (one of which should have seen him clean through). Good flick on for the winner. Vardy 7 - Good finish and worked his nuts off. subs: GTF 6 - Did fine, fortunate not to get booked. Schlupp 4 - Did almost everything wrong. Wasilewski 5 - Mental.
Grewks Posted 21 December 2013 Posted 21 December 2013 Why are people saying De laet was disappointing going forward? I thought it was clear he was told not to get forward? Hence the fact Konch didn't either. It was clear today that the full backs were not given as much freedom as usual, and probably the reason we were not caught on the counter as much as we normally are.

Fox92 Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 Schmeichel - 8 De Laet - 6 Morgan - 9 - MOTM Moore - 7.5 Konchesky 7- Thought he was excellent, especially against a faster player. Knockaert - 7 Drinkwater - 7.5 James - 8 Dyer- 7 - Still think he comes inside far too often, leaving Konchesky exposed. Played well though and perhaps should have scored. Nugent- 7 Vardy- 8 - Excellent finish

I generally agree with what you say Bert, as I do with your player ratings. The only thing that i couldn't quite work out was your love for Ben Marshall!!
Bert Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 I generally agree with what you say Bert, as I do with your player ratings. The only thing that i couldn't quite work out was your love for Ben Marshall!!I wouldn't say I loved him. He just offered much more then people gave him credit for, and I wanted people to see that.
deanolegend1989 Posted 23 December 2013 Posted 23 December 2013 Kasper 8 - Solid, Good saves. De Laet 6 - Poor start, bad passes and could of been punished. 2nd half better. Morgan 8 - Like a rock, 1 mistake with his positioning for the Phillips chance first half. Moore 9 - Top Draw..much better than Was. Konchesky 8 - Very steady on the whole..poor start for ONeils decent chance but improved as the game progressed. Knocky 8 - Very good. A bit incelated but very good little touches to keep posession in tight areas, couldnt do much more tbh. James 8 - Very classy, dominanted midfield and reads the game brilliantly. Drinky 9 - Top draw. bar one laboured pass near the end he was fantastic. Dyer 7 - Good performance, beat his full back and gave us an outlet. Should of scored though. Nugent 8 - Good performance from Nuge, good passes for Vardys offside(onside) call & Dyers chance and worked hard. Bottled a few chances but a lot better. Vardy 9 - Runned, Hassled, Stopped them starting attacks as easy and a constant threat. A wonderful finish just summed his performance up. Brilliant. MOM - Drinky/Vardy/Moore are all worthy winners.
foxfanazer Posted 23 December 2013 Posted 23 December 2013 One of Kaspers best performances for us imo. Was a lot like his dad, coming out and making himself big which gave the strikers no time
