He’s set up plenty of Vardy chances, they’ve just not been finished. Add to that Vardy has been injured/suspended/not fully fit for about half the season so far. I think Ricardo and Maddison have been about equally creative. Chilwell slightly less so. I think it's a bit of both, to be honest. I can see Vardy's shortfalls too, of course.

shilton_fox Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 Cost us the game with his arrogance of taking every set piece. Talented player but not as good as he thinks he is and must work harder. 2 atrocious penalties Man City and today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 (edited) We have a fair amount of issues right now, this man isn’t one of them. He’s young, he’s going to improve, lay off him. I think people always jump on players who are active on social media and show themselves having a good time. He’s probably great to have around the training ground. Lingard gets the same thing at United, Ali at spurs. They are allowed to have personalities and shouldn’t be scrutinized for having a laugh. I’m not sure where this impression of arrogance with him has come from, I actually think he seems level headed.

La-li-lu-le-lo Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 He’s a young lad who obviously lacks experience from time to time. You can’t expect him to take games by the scruff of the neck just yet, give him time and he will come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 He is a cracking player no doubt - I need him perhaps to calm down with the on field simulation for free kicks and penalties though if he’s going to win me over as a footballer. What he does off the pitch as long as he’s not hurting himself the club or anybody else, I don’t really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 12 January 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 12 January 2019 I thought this lad was supposed to be an expert at set pieces? His corners are a hybrid of Paul Gallaghers and Matty James. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 13 January 2019 Share Posted 13 January 2019 If he was even 10% of the player he thought he was he’d be incredible. He’s average. Andy King puts in a performance like that (not his first bad one over the past 6 months) and he gets absolutely hounded. Gets away with it because he scored a free kick against Huddersfield.

ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 13 January 2019 Share Posted 13 January 2019 If he focuses on bulking up, gaining upper body strength and working on his game, he’d be phenomenal for us. Instead, he’s more interested in how many likes he can get on Instagram and being ‘one of the lads’ Needs to take a leaf out of Chilwell’s book rather than, based on current showings, Demari Gray’s...

Demarai Gray actually did something good today, was involved in the build up that led to our goal. Did more than Chilwell did around the box with half the pitch time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but on the basis of a whole season, Chilwell has established himself as England 1st choice left back whereas Gray is still the same player we signed in 2016 just with extra miles on the clock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilwell can bomb up and down the wing all day long, provide no goals or assists, put in crap crosses and generally create nothing but gets praised to high heaven, and he gets 90 mins every week Gray is expected to create and score goals, its a much harder task. People keep saying he hasnt developed but i dont agree with that. Today he was one of the best players on the pitch and he often looks the liveliest. We sort out our transitions through midfield and I think Gray will start to flourish 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I still don’t know why King is sidelined so much. He is not as bad as many makes him out to be. He goes forward and links up well with Vardy.

Tom12345 Posted 13 January 2019 Share Posted 13 January 2019 Back to Maddison, does anyone think he is a bit too much of a selfish player? He wants glory too much for himself and that is affecting his game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eblair Posted 13 January 2019 Share Posted 13 January 2019 he's so greedy, when he plays it looks like he doesnt give a monkeys about team winning only his personal stats and reviews he takes ages to pass the ball on and slows us down so he looks pretty 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it seem that anybody we sign we just suck their best abilities out of them. Time and time again we sign players who I think will actually be able to beat the first man at corners (Gallagher, Albrighton, Maddison etc) but they don't. It's as if they purposely fail to beat the first man on purpose. Then we've got Maguire, best header of the ball, sitting on the back post - as if the balls even going to come that far 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
