leicesterisme Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 Don't like to be negative but have to say he was woeful and looked disenterested. I can accept losing the ball but then to stand there with his head down and not chase back trying to win the ball back isn't acceptable.
deep blue Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 I agree with Crinkly's assessment and think he may well come good in time. But what puzzles me is what others have pointed out - when he comes on for the last 15mins or so and we need to hold onto a lead, where his main job is to help run down the clock and take the sting out of the opposition. The things he needs to do are so well understood and simple - make himself available as an outlet - hold up the ball - don't give away possession - for those 15 mins or so, use your youth, pace and enthusiasm to chase all over to harry the opposition He rarely manages to do those things. Hard to believe that those aren't exactly Nige's instructions to him when he sends him on, and hard to see why he doesn't carry them out.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 We need to get off of his back. Do people know how hard it is for a striker to come on with 15 minutes to go, when all you're doing is soaking up pressure and playing on the break? Had his passing been better we'd perhaps have scored at least one more goal. They were relatively easy passes to make too. We needed some pace up front when it was Nuge and GTF up front. I'd have definitely put waghorn on instead. At least hes match fit. Schlupp did hassle their back four which was exactly what was needed, but he just couldnt sustain it. Or couldn't be bothered. Despite not being match fit hes still a young professional athlete that had one main job to do for a 15 minute spell- which although it didn't cost us, he still failed to do.
Candidcamera Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 I think that he is a great young talent. If Konchesky had gone in the Summer he would be a regular in the team. Pace and can cross the ball well.
Bayfox Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 Looked decent against man city. but did himself no favours today. Looked ****ed about 5 mins after he came on. Showed no desire to close down and had 2 decent chances to play lloyd in and ****ed both passes up. hardly playing his way into contention on that evidence. wouldn't write him off yet but surely he knows he must take his chances if he wants to play up front.
Soar Fox Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 I think that he is a great young talent. If Konchesky had gone in the Summer he would be a regular in the team. Pace and can cross the ball well. You need a bit more than pace and the ability to cross the ball to be a good steady left back. Where Konchesky lacks pace he makes up with with good positional sense, something where if you've seen games with Schlupp playing he lacks. I don't think he'll be very good either at left back or striker but with good management and the right coaching he could be turned into a decent left winger.
Foxes1 Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 If he goes out on loan who would you have a go at then. How about Konchesky, Drinkwater, Marcin, Nugent at this rate we will have no-one left at the club, perhaps that is what some of you want.
Number 6 Posted 22 December 2013 Posted 22 December 2013 Not enough composure or a good enough shot to be a striker for me. Though I see potential as a LB. Very useful to have him in the squad with the level of cover he gives us.
DennisNedry Posted 1 January 2014 Author Posted 1 January 2014 Well done today Jeff for scoring and sticking 2 fingers up to me and a few other people today. Keep it up though lad, cus I'm still not convinced.
Guest shearfox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Well done today Jeff for scoring and sticking 2 fingers up to me and a few other people today. Keep it up though lad, cus I'm still not convinced. He lacks match practice, showed today he is still capable...
LCFC FOX Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I got shot down when I said he did well at QPR, he's came on and didn't stop running again. I like Jeff
Guest Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 The guy is pure skill just needs to get the mental level to the same postcode and he'll be an excellent Prem player.
leicesterisme Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I got shot down when I said he did well at QPR, he's came on and didn't stop running again. I like Jeff You got shot down because he was shit at QPR. Fairplay to him, he's responded well today, hope he kicks on now.
Guest shearfox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I got shot down when I said he did well at QPR, he's came on and didn't stop running again. I like Jeff He didn't do well at QPR though, brought on today I was very good...
Guest Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I went on the Foxes coach to Rotherham and I've never doubted him from that day onwards.
Lobsterboyuk Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Still think he's not pressing enough during play but fair play for the goal, was a great ball from Knocky
KFS Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 The fans were on his back today because he didn't show the energy levels that Nugent did. Bet that's fvcked with a few FoxesTalkers
whitlock Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Just saw his goal, didn't particularly look convincing but a goals a goal.
dayday Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 The fans were on his back today because he didn't show the energy levels that Nugent did. Bet that's fvcked with a few FoxesTalkers I am i my forties,and the shit this lad gets really pisses me off,you moaners seriously need to get a grip because on the whole he is not a bad player,if we get promoted and thats a if,moments like today will stick in your mind as a key to our promotion
Thracian Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Just saw his goal, didn't particularly look convincing but a goals a goal. Not if it had been a penalty - at least to some!
Guest Col city fan Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Im glad for the lad. I think there's more to come from him if he thinks about his game a little more. And if he gets opportunities like he did today.
Bert Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Can we not just be positive? The negativity is boring.
KFS Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I am i my forties,and the shit this lad gets really pisses me off,you moaners seriously need to get a grip because on the whole he is not a bad player,if we get promoted and thats a if,moments like today will stick in your mind as a key to our promotion Just to clarify, you don't think that was my opinion do you? Because it's not
Babylon Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Can we not just be positive? The negativity is boring. Yay he's brilliant next Ronaldo.
dynamark Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I am in my fifties not relevant of course.Jeff has a great chance in the game ball sticks,strong and fast rides a tackle,reminds me of milner and glen Johnson.Possible prem standard player for us if it happens.Good effort today bit surprised james didn't have a bit to do as he has looked the most comfortable at the higher level,Should be in for Stoke stick to 442 wide game nothing to fear
