Premier League 17/18 - Matchday 21

[SA Gunner]

Vardy and Lacazette perhaps nahh...

We also need to play more quick attacking football to get the best out of these players, including the likes of Özil.

I hope Xhaka took note of Wilshere's ball to Alexis, last match day. That is what we are very much in need of again.

 

[SA Gunner]

Would love swap deal with Lacazette for Vardy.

Them triple beams are a bit to strong mate. Ease up

That said, you can see how imbalanced Liverpool are when they are so severely reduced when facing a deep lying, tight defense.

Would be interesting to see what Naby Keita brings to their play next season.

Keita is more attacking central Medfield they'll be more deadly going forward

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Mahrez is absolutely useless today. Judging by only today's game I'm kind of glad we never got him.

You say that and he has an assist. Leicester is set up to defend and counter attack. Hard to look impressive as a player of his kind when you don't have the ball at your feet all of the time.

 

[Tosker]

has the betting on Mark Hughes being the next managerial sacking been suspended yet?

I thought he was more box-to-box?

Jim Beams such a universal drink , sheet feel like one now

I tuned in after the goal and it is a fair point.

What is irritating me atm really this game is that Liecester's right looks very vulnerable as Mahrez sometimes forgets to mark up properly. (then again Liverpool is creating pretty well on all sides anyway, just horrible at finishing)

I thought so too, giving them those creative balls from deep.

Most of their players are attacking midfielders, who prefer the ball at their feet.

He is but like to play more advanced then just stay deep.

Any time Mahrez gets the ball at his feet he's so smooth. Just created a half chance for Leicester with a single touch of the ball (it also being his first touch of the ball in about ten minutes).

So he's just a shinier Wijnaldum. Don't feel as upset not getting him then.

Maguire impressing me again.

Talented without a doubt. I just see a lot of potential for him to get battered similar to Özil as a "luxury" player (which is BS in my opinion anyway) player because he has a bit of an aversion to defensive duties.

Nah he quality player need to improve his tackling tho 3 red cards this season already if im not wrong

Yeah, I think I said in another thread that he looks like a red card waiting to happen when I watch him.

He's doing fine defensively right now. Tracking back, keeping shape, helping the right back, etc.

And I don't know if I buy the "battering" opinion. Mahrez is the type of player to draw fouls with his deft dribbling and tricks.

 

[Marmaduke]

I gotta say, I admire Leicester. A great counter-attacking team all things considered.

McGuire is fun to watch too.

Agree. He's impressed me this season.

Keown scouted McGuire for Arsenal last season. Rates him highly, but says Arsenal were put off by his mobility.
