Match Ratings : Man Utd (H) 5-3 : It’s Jamie Vardy’s Party as City Humiliate United

http://lcfcratings.wordpress.com

 

Sunday 21 September, 13:30
Barclays Premier League
King Power Stadium, Leicester

 


 

Leicester City 5
Ulloa 17′, 83′ (pen), Nugent 62′ (pen), Cambiasso 64′, Vardy 79′

 

Manchester United 3
van Persie 13', Di María 16′, Herrera 57'

 


 

On a historic day where Leicester City put FIVE past Manchester United, Jamie Vardy was rated the best of City's group of heroes by a total of 494 fans who voted. Vardy put in as close to a perfect performance as it's possible to get on his first start by scoring the goal that put City into a 4-3 lead, and providing assists for each of the others in a "variety" of ways. Once again, City's Argentine duo of Leonardo Ulloa and Esteban Cambiasso excelled, earning some outstanding marks but still some way off the eventual winner and former Stocksbridge Park Steels star Vardy. Danny Drinkwater's full return was worth waiting for and he followed closely behind his midfield partner Cambiasso, while the supporters also gave marks above 7.5 to all but Kasper Schmeichel and the three substitutes.

 

Nigel Pearson demonstrated his tactical nous again earning a near perfect rating from the supporters, with fan confidence in the manager still near 100%. This demonstrated the home support's appreciation that despite Louis Van Gaal's assertions that he knew everything there was to know about Leicester, he still wasn't able to find a winning formula against a matchday squad that literally cost hundreds of millions less.

 

Despite a wealth of attacking talent and Di María scoring one of the best technical goals the Premier League is likely to see this season, Manchester United were not deemed to be particularly impressive opposition earning a below average vote from the City supporters, largely down to the shambolic defensive display put in by their back four. Referee Mark Clattenburg and his team of officials received a fairly generous rating from the City supporters, after he agreed with Jamie Vardy's assertion that his contact against Rafael for the second goal was simply shoulder to shoulder with the following collision in the box a retaliation from the Brazilian.

 

Thanks to the 494 who voted, adding an LCFC Ratings record to all those that City broke at the weekend!
