Koke Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I was just casually reading some pre match reviews for our game against West Ham and once again we were labelled as a counter attacking team. Its not the first time we've seen this. Some lazy pundits/journalists trot out that line now and again. Though I'm not quite sure where that label comes from. We haven't played that style of football in like 3 years. Nowadays we completely dominate possession and our full backs spend most of their time near the opposition penalty box. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I know penalties are still goals but Vardy has scored 1 goal from open play this season, do people really think he's one of the best strikers so far 3 games in once they've taken their blinkers off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's because they only watch us when we play the likes of Man City and Liverpool, and sit deeper. Very annoying, though.

He did win 3 of those penalties in fairness and his all round play allowed us to win the way we did at Man City. 4 great pens 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a player in Calvert-Lewin's form and he'd been beaten by someone who had pretty much only scored penalties then the majority would be moaning, lets be honest 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked if he has genuinely been one of the best strikers in the first 3 games. Which he clearly has been. CL will win POTM, and rightly so, but Vardy has been one of the top performing strikers so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it took about 15 years to shed the tag that we were good from long balls and set pieces. So, with past form being taken into account, we'll probably be recognised as a possession based side by the average pundit sometime around 2035.

He's doing his job as a forward and doing it great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. He's just one of those players. Craig Bellamy was similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 To be fair whilst most of Vardy’s goals have come from 12 yards out, most of DCL goals have come from 2 yards out. 5 goals in 3 games is N outstanding start to the season, no matter where they have come from and both players are outstanding candidates for PotM.
