Two sides without much quality TBH, but well-drilled and tirelessly working. And after watching us play it's really striking to see teams that are actually trying to make things happen - no, there wasn't much in the way of finishing but at least both sides were trying to be attacking rather than just dinking the ball around towards their own end. Also, if Zaha had any end product at all he'd be world-class. He has everything else - size, speed, technical skill, strength, work rate. He just has nothing for the final ball.

This is why Barnes needs to try hard and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of Zaha's lack of end product is down to his greediness. I saw an interview recently where he said his main aim in a game is to shoot as much as possible, than your more likely to score. Surely you should be looking to maximise your team chance of scoring, not your own. There was moment last night where Meslier made a save and the ball came to Zaha right on the byline, he should have just stuck ball straight back in before the keeper got set again and the defence was still all over the place, instead he decides from the from standing on the byline the most effective thing would be to a step over, try and get past Ayling until he has something of a shooting angle and try and score. Obviously by this point Meslier has reset himself and makes a relatively easy save with his foot. No wonder Palace strikers often have poor scoring records when this **** never passes to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 26 April 2022 Share Posted 26 April 2022 To be fair he attempted several crosses in that match (and generally does when I see him). They just weren’t any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 26 April 2022 Share Posted 26 April 2022 Think Zaha is quite over-rated, on the basis that he hasn't been a real team player. Can be frustrating to watch at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 26 April 2022 Share Posted 26 April 2022 Zaha is ALWAYS greedy without the numbers to back it up. Average flashy player. It still blows my mind people tried to seriously say he was better than mahrez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 26 April 2022 Share Posted 26 April 2022 Just read that Allan completed 1 successful pass against Liverpool and it was from the kick off. I'm no amazing football player but I reckon I could take the kick off pass to a team mate and do nothing else for 90 minutes and get paid over £100k for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weller Wing Posted 26 April 2022 Share Posted 26 April 2022 With regards to Zaha ,he's a sulky annoying git ,but he's a class player that would be an asset to most sides. His price tag would be daft ,so it's a non runner but it would be wrong to say he wouldn't be useful to a club like ours. Don't know what he's like as a person though and whether he'd be a popular player amongst our squad could be an issue. I'd take him on a free or a straight swap for Perez 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 27 April 2022 Share Posted 27 April 2022 I get the Forest hate, but the idea of a derby in the PL should make Leicester fans excited IMHO. Besides - how else do you get the joy of seeing them relegated from the top flight if they never get promoted to it? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not exciting it's miserable particularly as we've been better than them for the vast majority of the last 30 yrs. You're basically adding the city ground to Anfield and the Emirates as a place we're guaranteed to get 0 points from. Keep those horrible b@stards away from us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the grief we get, I want forest and derby to wallow in the championship or league one reminiscing of past glories. The dream is for them to become so irrelevant to us that we end up loaning our players to them (in effect our B teams) so their precious Brian Clough trophy is competed by mostly Leicester City players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
