Did he walk round and clap and wav to his mrs at the end ? Or did he scuttle off in utter embarrassment at The at the disgrace to their profession him and his mates had just put on

I thought he was one our better players. Never gave mahrez a kick. Its difficult to pass the ball when the only movement is on the opposite side of the pitch and it's even more difficult to cross it when there is only one statue in the box. C'mon Dave his distribution is bloody awful and his ability to cross a ball is about the same level. For me he needs replacing.

His distribution and crossing is no worse than Charlie Adam's for example.

His distribution and crossing is no worse than Charlie Adam's for example. He's a professional footballer. He should be able to pass a football with a modicum of accuracy and put a decent ball in now and then. He can do neither.

How good was his passing and crossing today? The problem lies with the players ahead of him rather than the player himself.

I thought Pieters wasn't bad today, he kept mugging of Mahrez, which I thoroughly enjoyed

Pretty harsh.
He did alright today, in a position that doesn't suit him. His crossing just isn't good enough though.

Erik has put in a peach of a cross which diouf really should have scored from.

Very noticeable second half that Eric had a lot of space on the left wing to get to the line and presumably cross (to our loan forager JW) but he chose to turn back and play it in to a packed midfield where we eventually lost the ball and gave Leicester the advantage

He's no good in all honesty. He's constantly making mistakes left, right and centre. It could potentially be the difference in relegation and survival.

He is OK in a full back role when fully fit. But he is totally unsuited to a wing back job. He is slow to get his crosses in and they are poor when they do come in. Yesterday in the second half we should have gone 442 with Ramadan on the wing ahead of Pieters or we should have replaced Pieters at wing back with Ramadan.

I can't help but feel watching him that he hasn't been fully fit and free of injury in months. Always looks to be struggling to me.
But with Muni made of glass there's no real alternatives is there?

He's just about ok in a back four but his quality on the ball leaves a lot to be desired. For me definitely needs up grading.

His crossing is atrocious apart the odd one here and there. Simply not good enough and needs to be addressed as a priority in Jan

You said now and then though. I give you an example of now and then and you move the goalposts Defensively he's excellent as he was yesterday. He barely gave mahrez a kick.

He's not an attacking full back. To continue to urge him and then rely on him for out attacking play in the second half was just plain rank bad management. he seems to have a bit of understanding with Arnie, no Arnie , no Erik.

We need a new left back, desperately to either replace him or at least give him some competition.
I like him as a player, but he's had a shocking 2016. His crossing is awful, not great for someone playing wing back.
And although a defensive full back he leaves a lot to be desired there too.
Charlie Taylor from Leeds seems a good choice.

Or did he scuttle off in utter embarrassment at The at the disgrace to their profession him and his mates had just put on Other than the last home game where he was playing some great balls down the line to Arnie, his passing and some of his crossing is poor. One thing about him you can't say though is he's someone that makes a player clap the fans when they get subbed, the first and last to clap at the end of the game to all four sides of the ground. A pity he has indifferent games as he's a player I really want to do well.

He barely gave mahrez a kick. Moving the goal posts to the back of the stand is the only way he'll find the six yard box Dave. For such a good defender he's wanders out of position and gets caught on the wrong side far too often for my liking. Mahrez is hardly the Mahrez of last season is he. I like Erik, he's a bit of a warrior but IMO lacks quality.

If we are to persevere with wingbacks,then Pieters is not the answer, his main weakness is his crossing,and always has been,not to mention his bungling into the back of forwards and giving unessasary free kicks away,and as said on here when he has got space in front of him,he chooses to play the ball inside where we end up loosing it....

Second half he put in several good crosses but we had plodder Jon and no-one else in the box. Erik is not a problem, the way we set up is. It beggars belief that our front 3 players were Allen, Bojan and Walters

Yesterday in the second half we should have gone 442 with Ramadan on the wing ahead of Pieters or we should have replaced Pieters at wing back with Ramadan. This exactly. And never mind changing it part through, we shouldn't be playing with a back three anyway, as we don't have any wing backs at the club.

Pieters was one of our better players. For their two goals the crosses that came in, Bruno let the first guy cross past him and Charlie the second. Positionally though 95% of the time he's always where he needs to be and he was playing further forward than used to (under instruction I reckon) to cover the loss of Arnie ahead of him. Sitting back into a back 4 when we lost the ball. His crossing isn't the best but he's a left back aiming a cross at Walters on his own. Going forward like that Walters should already be in the box and at least one other running into either the front or back post (wherever Walters isn't) to attack the cross. He didn't give Mahrez enough space to create anything g when he was attacking down the right and that takes something!! My arse he needs replacing. A rest would do him good. He gives his all every game.
