Lies, damned lies and Jamie Vardy's inability to pass

Recommended Posts

In the championship: We're a better team with Nugent in it. Vardy gives the defenders absolute hell.

In the premier league: Nugent may link play OK, but he has missed SO many chances, and has scored once from open play. He looks like he needs 2 seconds more than everyone else, and rarely looks like he knows where he is or needs to be. Vardy is laughed at by all defenders apart from Rafael and Tyler Blackett. Honestly, has he fooled a single defender yet with that closing down thing where he speeds up right as they're about to kick it?

 

I am absolutely praying Kramaric come good because, similar to the other 'good' championship players (Drinkwater especially) they look so out of their depth in this league.

I'm gutted for Vardy that he's not been able to take the step up. He was outstanding last season and I think most of us expected him to be better this season than he's showed. He was injured at the start of the season and didn't kick on from the Man Utd game. Just shows how significant the step up is to the prem from the championship.

if individuals are consistently under performing (Nugent) then why should we ignore that? 

 

We have a squad of players who aren't quite good enough. Why single out a few and make them the scapegoats? So counter productive. 

 

It's like singling individual fans out and calling them clowns when there's about 10,000 of them at the KP every week.

What can we discuss then?

What's the point in these threads? It's his inability to finish which is the problem. Also, he attempted 8 passes which means he's not getting the ball enough to start with or losing the ball whilst trying to get by defenders with his pace. And based on yesterday's performance, none of our strikers had much of the ball all match.

You're both wrong.

 

We showed far more quality last week against Villa. This isn't about individuals or the squad not being being good enough.

 

What we saw yesterday was a team who didn't really want to be out there and scrap for every ball.

Or he isn't making the righ runs, showing for the ball, able to control the ball? He only touched the ball 17 times.

 

In less time on the pitch Ulloa attempted 8 passes and Kamaric 6. Over the season he only attempts, on average, 12 passes per game. Now if he isn't passing or scoring what on earth is he doing?

Obviously the problem is in midfield/attack. Finally started defending properly but can't score. Vardy has certainly been pretty poor this season but he's certainly not the only one.

This seems to be correct given what happened earlier in the season. But at this level defenders need to be able to keep the ball better and also start attacks. Really difficult balance for Pearson to make considering the defenders at his disposal.

Its not Vardy that's the issue, its having to play king. What's he trying to do, practice at becoming a referee or something. All he does is follow the ball up and down his own half. Good in league one, okay in the champ, fvcking useless in the prem.

Stoke was quite a bit better than us, Bojan or no Bojan. They had more posession and just looked stronger and more powerful than us all over the pitch.

they had more possession at their place as well.

liverpool had more possession than arsenal this season. the result is what matters and bar maybe unzonzi in the middle of the park. they where about as good as villa.

difference is. bojan wanted it. benteke didn't

You are saying that no one in our squad is Premiership quality.
