Ian Nacho Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 At the end of the day if he didn't work hard he would be a league one striker at best.

VLC86 Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Used to love him but I'm done with him now, that Miss was unforgivable.

I also think he's waste of shirt at the moment but you can't slate him because of that alone. We should have buried a goal way before and Vardy should have come in way before. It's a collective shamble cooked up by the italian in chief.
Koke Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 (edited) He's got 27 goals in 60 odd games in the Bundesliga with a small club like Mainz. I'm amazed how he got that record considering how bad he is. Did he transform into a donkey as soon as he crossed over to these shores? Edited 18 February 2017 by Koke
CockneyFox Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Not exactly blessed with options up front are we? Vardy can't hit a barn door at the moment, Ulloa has been alienated, Slimani injury prone... Musa...

We play a bit more open and it's not as physical as in the Premier League. He was also younger.
Ric Flair Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Dog shit since November. Will be gone in the summer.

If we go down I could see us getting rid of all our strikers. Ulloa might stay if he starts liking the club again. But yeah Shinji started the season well. Absolutely shite now though. Wouldn't have him on the bench. Edited 18 February 2017 by lgfualol
Kasey Keller Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 He's awful, either on his arse or tripping over himself.

Topman Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 I was a big fan of his since start of season, he has been terrible since November time, but who hasn't? every single player is lacking in confidence big time, his missed cost me £300, I put £120 on a 6/4 I thought it was great odds, bookies never wrong, even we have Messi upfront we going to struggle, our team has zero creativity, once we get to last 3rd no one knows what to do....still can't wait till Seville thought
fuchsntf Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 I defended him last season, but he cant blame the poor form of others, he himself has been the one who failed to put the clean balls through, he is the one who has lost the ball so many times when we were on the attack, or kept falling down when we needed pressure to be asserted. Hes failed on the link up play. He shouldnt of been playing today, or see any of the next games has first choice. like today, it has been movements around him, where we have lost out.. He is the shadow of what he gave to Mainz, and its truely pathetic how often he spends time on his arse.He nor the coaches have done anything about it..
Wymsey Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 That opportunity in front of the Leicester fans very much annoyed me. As if he actually hesitated in kicking the ball, should've stabbed it in at first glance. He's lost some of his strength I reckon.
Thracian Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Watching the highlights again we had a lot more movement and created far more chances than the regular first team and should have won comfortably. Ranieri's attitude is disappointing. He was the man responsible for maintaining our momentum after the sending off but offered nothing. Our failing today was not in a failure to create chances but not taking them. That's nothing to do with physical fight but ruthlessness and Shinji emphasised it by failing to capitalise on several chances, the last being the football equivalent of criminal. Just hit the ball into the empty space man. But he doesn't. We know he doesn't. He never really has and still we pick the bloke. Ranieri just stays in denial and never seems capable of grasping the reasons for our problems. Even Vardy looked happier in his cameo than I've seen him for a long time and would surely have made more of the movement and ground passing we produced had he been given more time. England centre-forward against a Division One outfit and he uses him for a few minutes. For me Ranieri blames everyone else but himself. That wasn't a game where we produced nothing but a game where we didn't have the belief to take our chances and that's the boss's fault as much as the individual players because a good boss makes his team feel invincible and damned certain they'll score. The bloke is so negative, talking about being the underdog. I really wish I could have given our team talk. We'd have won by three or four clear goals and broken their gallant hearts. No kidding. Millwall won because they wanted it. We billed ourselves as underdogs, our team of so-called reserves reflected our attitude to winning and that whole approach stank of excusing ourselves from the off. Instead we should have taken the field bouyed up with belief in ourselves and the steely-eyed determination to get the ball, move the ball, attack the box and destroy them ...,not with one goal but one after another. We had the players, we had the movement, we had the skill but we didn't have the manager. He was an apology for all we want to be and I don't want our teams to be an apology for anything or anyone. They should have gone out there relishing not just the prospect of winning but scoring goals as if it's the only thing they feed on and sending the perfect statement to any prospective quarter-final opponents. But no. Millwall was the next game but our once focused club was already strolling round Seville. And with that attitude it was no surprise we didn't score at all, and haven't scored so many times. Shinji's not really hopeless - he's just not ruthless. He could be and should be ruthless but he isn't because like so many other people at Leicester we haven't improved him. Harsh? Well tell me this. Who else has improved for being here? Not Vardy or Ulloa. Not Mahrez or Musa. Not Huth or Morgan. Was Chilwell any better than when he cost us a goal against Spurs? Or Gray than the day he scored against Manchester United? I ask again? Who's improved? 1
maddog Posted 18 February 2017 Posted 18 February 2017 Still remember that lovely finish at Everton away and of course the bicycle kick against Newcastle last season. Sadly for a striker he's completely missing that 'striker's instinct'. Shinjis striker's instinct is extinct. 1

Just how has he not simply lashed it in. He tried to lob the keeper FFS!! The token Far East player though I suppose. The way he trips over blades of grass really annoys me, I appreciate that because of his size it probably feels like running through a cornfield to the rest of us but we don't masquerade as a top level footballer!

Was it even a serious attempt to score? What with Slimani's recent miss from another sitter, I do start to wonder. I've missed easyish chances as a player but never anything as easy as those. I've always thought he was the "token" player you mention but that his industrious attitude just about made him worth it because I thought he might improve. He hasn't. Not in any sense. Not that he's alone in that.

He isn't one and we don't have one, which as Champions of English football, is bordering on criminal. Our lack of goals this year confirms as such.

Cut our losses and get him on the transfer list. Complete bullshit. He was integral to the team that won last year. Granted, he along with a few other players hasn't been any good this season but that doesn't take anything away from his achievements last season. Remember that goal he scored against Newcastle? Was that "dog shit"?

I remember the same sort of drama when under a previous name of course, I happened to suggest Kramaric wasn't going to be all that in this country.
