HybridFox Posted 28 April 2017 Share Posted 28 April 2017 http://mobile.lcfc.com/news/article/top-10-scorers-since-2000-2503714.aspx Amazing to think he's scored 63 goals for us. "One season wonder" eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leamington Fox Posted 28 April 2017 Share Posted 28 April 2017 He's beyond question a Leicester Legend already. I am delighted to see him back on fire and reckon we'll get another 30 goals out of him (any competing predictions as to his ultimate LCFC goal tally?). I don't think he was putting in quite the same shift for the middle third of the season. I do not know why. I do not know who, if anyone, is to blame. It would be wrong to say, though, that his work rate post-Ranieri is no different to what it was in the preceding 4 or 5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like players put in more effort when things go well compared to when things don't. I remember the Fuchs article on 'trolling' where he says it actually feels like he is more lax during the good times and works harder during the bad times. Stats showed he was converting chances at the same or even higher rates than his extraordinary season last season, but we were only creating 20-25% of the chances. His running stats were similar reading. But I never saw this so-called laziness that people accused him of. Whether it's a skewed and romantic perception of what he achieved last season, I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never would have called it laziness, but my very clear impression (perhaps contradicted by the stats) was that he was not chasing down the goalie or defenders or apparent lost causes like he used to. Maybe it was just the general dysfunction of the team for those grim months (which already seem so long ago, thankfully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pressing is only full throttle a few times during a game, the rest of the time he spends shepherding defenders and making sure they don't have endless amounts of time to make a decision. Maybe you could argue that his timing wasn't at his best, but it was mainly the collective press that was disjointed or non-existant during those dark months.

I think if he stays here, and with pre-season he will be better next season, no doubt. Every fottballer on the payrole woukd have a mentor if it wss diwn to me.... What's tge down side. To much training of teams is about teambased drills (for all)... or prepping for up and coming opposition. Slimani needs to look at the better cfs on the pl and work to master the role.... this will never end.

Every player is always evolving, even Ronaldo and Messi, football is always evolving so the players need to evolve too. What I was trying to say, is that he doesn't need a mentor just for him, he just needs a pre season and to be better integrated in the team.

Tielemans63 Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 For me Vardy's story is one of the greatest football stories ever, if not the greatest. Working in a factory to PL champion and England international in 7 years - that is absolutely mind-boggling when you sit and think about it. I love the guy and what he represents. The fact he's flawed makes him more heroic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success built via hard work rather than an abundance of natural talent, and ultimately, a winner. Oh my lovely post. To add to it in same regards to us. If you have him you love him, if you don't have him he's hated. I love how raw he is too.. isn't scared to leave a foot in or shoulder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costock_Fox Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 Seriously his celebration V West Brom last year was a thing of beauty, runs along their fans, spots a guy who clearly wants to murder him so he stops arms out wide and the fan has to be restrained.

lgfualol Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 12 goals in the league is a decent return considering he didn't have a shot on goal for 3 months earlier in the season. Think he could hit 20 if we get a Sigursson type in to play behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's the best conversion rate of any player on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
