dannythefox Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 If Vardy doesn't get the ball passed him to run on to he struggles. We didn't do it once today can't blame him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChownLC Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 Lacking confidence and not making any runs. Cant remember the last time he put a shift in, just seems to jog around this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raj Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 We look better without Vardy in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 I expect him too keep making the runs to give us an option. Not to effectively down tools because he isn't getting every ball he wants. And if the ball isn't played in repeatedly then sort it out in the team video review of the match. He's not worth a starting place if we don't play to his strengths but his responsibility is to play with the same motivation and intensity that we know he is capable of whilst he's on the pitch. That's what we're paying him handsomely for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 He's ****ing shit right now. Bin. Slimani to start for he foreseeable future for me. Maybe it will give Vardy the kick up the arse he needs if he misses out on the next England squad. Jumped up ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Walsh5 Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 I don't know whether CR has tried to change his style of play or not but we he isn't playing to the style that got him where he is today. Watching him play now he'll be standing around on the halfway line doing a lot of pointing & passing men onto others. He doesn't chase & pressure players like he used to which forced them into mistakes or putting the ball out of play. He isn't hanging onto the last man playing on the shoulder waiting to be slid through, he's dropping deep and getting into positions which doesn't benefit him or the team. He's become easy now to play against, it doesn't help that our midfield & defenders just hoof the ball up to him (god knows what they expect him to do with it) I feel sorry for him I really do as he isn't getting the service that he was. But I also want him to go back to the way he used to play, he set the tone for us pressing, pressuring & harrying. Now all teams do is pass the ball around him whilst he goes through the motions at looking like putting a bit of effort in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 Wasn't making many runs off the ball at all today. Possibly he knew he wasn't going to get any service but a bit of movement might have helped the team in other areas! Very lacklustre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make enough good ones and eventually somebody will find you. Yet again, both the quantity and quality of his movement when we had possession was sorely lacking. Just saying he actually did move so no need to act like that. Everybody is shit, it's not just Vardy... We don't have a player that creates chances.

peterborofox Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 Looks like he's added three years on his age during the summer. Doesn't sprint any more and can't beat a man. Hope hes not just burnout but looks half the player of last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seemed to have changed our playing style a bit now Vardy doesn't have much room behind opposition defenders now other teams know how he plays.

It's a mystery. It's no mystery! Why are people finding this so hard to understand? Our Champs League group was a piece of piss. The Premier League is miles better. The standard is far superior. Vardy is not getting any ammo in the Prem league because we are playing so badly. There is no fluency. The quickness has gone, the sharpness, the counter attacking with pace. We have a midfield that can neither defend very well, not attack with conviction. Mahrez looks a different player to last season. All the ingredients that Vardy thrives on (speed, incision, making the opposition unsure what you are gonna do) has gone. And so therefore has Vardy's game. Vardy should have gone to Arsenal. He'd have been playing in front of Ozil and Sanchez. Today, he was playing in front of Amartey and King. If he'd have moved, I think he'd be on 6/7 goals for the season by now.

Guest ttfn Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 1 hour ago, Col city fan said: I'm guessing Vardy is possibly not running as much because he knows the through balls ARENT coming. Our midfield creativity is fookin awful this season. He's not really been moving since day 1 though (when he did actually get several good opportunities). It's not like he's taken a look at the midfield and gone "what's the point?", he's playing just the same now as he was in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a player that creates chances. It's a two-way street though. You have to move to make space for the chances to be created. So much of last season was about his movement, pace, desire and intensity. Not just for him but the whole team. All 4 are lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any striker would lose a little motivation in the end. After last season, playing in front of this lot must be a little soul destroying I'd imagine.

splinterdream Posted 26 November 2016 Share Posted 26 November 2016 Not sure if it's just me but Vardy always seems to pull away from the player with the ball when it would make more sense to run towards the player with the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
