One of them as well we can’t fetch an inflated fee for and in the process keeping better players at the club for at least another season. One of them also doesn’t have an injury record which is beginning to look very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Maddison put up these numbers he'd been shamed and bullied and ran out of the city but because Albrighton "works hard" and doesn't break COVID rules he gets treated with kid gloves. Demarai Gray had similar G+A as Albrighton and he was slandered relentlessly on here. Albrighton in the last 4 years. 20/21 - 1 goal in 31 appearances 19/20 - 0 goals in 20 appearances 18/19 - 2 goals in 27 appearances 17/18 - 2 goals in 34 appearances Edited 21 June 2021 by Koke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton is a workhorse and is consistently ok at the job he does. A job where we do not expect him to be controlling games and scoring regularly. Maddison on the other hand can be unreal and unplayable on his day. His stats are actually excellent, for this reason we expect him to be a star performer consistently. Therefore naturally when he does performance we use him as a scape goat! Albrighton is good but he is almost so understated now days he’s overrated . 😂 Edited 21 June 2021 by DezFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think that stats tell the full story with Albrighton though. There's a lot of hidden value in reliable, workhorse-like players in my opinion. I used to think that Albrighton was one of the most overrated members of the squad but I really respect the effort he must have put in, to maintain the level he plays at now. He has arguably improved over the past few seasons. He sets an excellent example to the younger members of the squad and I think that is a very valuable asset to the club as a whole. I guess my point is that I think he possesses valuable qualities which can't be easily quantified as stats. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 21 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 June 2021 Anti Albrighton get in the bin, heinous opinion. Madison is madison think what you like but Marc is a hero to any serious Leicester fan, surely? Bloody brilliant and to bash him just makes you look like an utter bell end. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 21 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 June 2021 Albrighton had his best season for a few years last year for us. Transitioned from being a player that had to play a lot to produce, to overcoming many other players brought in and now seems to quickly deliver some key performances but with less assurance that he will play. Players like him, and Fuchs and Morgan before him are essential to us in maintaining the bid to challenge the top 6 each season. You cannot buy the understanding that players like them have of this team and club, it enables them to step up when we need them and that actually might be doing Albrighton a disservice as he's not even got a right winger to seriously challenge him right now, possibly Sowah but I give credit where its due after being quite critical of him in recent years, he is a superb servant for us. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 He’s going nowhere…. Mainly because it’s going to take him ages to take down the England flag bunting he’s currently got draped over the entire front of his house in Notts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Large's Black Book Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 (edited) Look, you lot are far more knowledgeable about things than I am as I don't get to see many games and have to rely on reports (and FT ) , but surely to compare Maddison and Albrighton is utter nonsense. Aside from the bleedin' obvious that they play in totally different positions, from what I read Albrighton seems often to brought on to help prop up the defence whilst also keeping their midfield honest - not to provide goals as someone was moaning about earlier I'm not committed to either of these two, but I'm damn sure that to have a squad of brilliant but one dimensional players who can do only one thing would not be as great as you think.

cityfanlee23 Posted 21 June 2021 Share Posted 21 June 2021 Madders is a weird one for me, as much as I love him and think he's a very good player. He's really inconsistent and is not someone we can rely on to grab a match by the scruff of it's neck and lead us forward. He makes far too many mistakes on and off the pitch and reminds me a bit of Jack Grealish a few years ago. Grealish is now twice the player Maddison is in terms of consistently performing week in week out, If Arsenal want to spent 60m or offer us cash + Willock I wouldnt be heartbroken to see him leave. The money would fund Patson Daka and Soumare and we would be in a stronger position than present in my opinion. Love Madders but lost patience with him, he has seemingly regressed since he first lit up the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
