He missed two good chances at Bournemouth (prior to us going behind) and one at Manchester United too. This whole "we don't have that many chances" thing doesn't add up because we miss good chances.

So many posts are spouting we're making 0 chances, which is utter cr4p. We're creating, just not finishing. I'd be more worried if it we were creating nothing at all. I said on another thread, we have 5 or 6 great chances to score yesterday, on another day several more fly in.

How do you finish and not create?

We don't build the team around anymore and he's still only been outscored by Salah and Aguero in 2018.

Not at all mate, just me being a drive by smart arse

He’s struggled for sharpness, had a minimal

preseason and then got suspended in his first start for us so minutes wise he’s still not up to speed compared to the rest of our players 

[SheppyFox]

We’ll be lucky to recover our 1m investment if someone is silly enough to buy him come January, that’s for sure. 

[Foxxed]

He's joint top goal scorer. He's fine. I'm more worried about Nacho gaining confidence - he's the future.

[Nick]

Puel’s style of play doesn’t play to his strengths.

Probably already got it back tbh.

[Pete from the USA]

He just needs more matches. He missed a summer of training traveling with England and not playing,, then got the suspension. He will still get quick and sharp but it will take a few more matches than it would have five years ago.

[brucey]

He's always alternating between long barren runs and long scoring runs in the last few years. He'll be fine.

[l444ry]

He's probably as sharp as ever. Been asked to play a different way to suit the manager's system. Seems a bit unfair to criticise the man for not doing what made him what he is. Simple truth is that he's not allowed to play to his strengths these days.

A bit early to say but I did say pre season to a mate that I thought this might be his decline year.

 

I’d also add I think the England retiring thing seems as though it helps us but in reality does that mean he has nothing left to aim for or give for us?

 

Only a hypothesis, early days hope I’m wrong cos Vardy is god, without doubt favourite City player of all time ❤️

[cropstonfox]

Hes crap get rid.!

[elvisfmcfly]

Maybe cause we don’t create **** all for him?

We’ve had it if he’s the future.

He missed a one on one? Two chances at Bournemouth, one at Manchester United (though scored afterwards of course).

 

While I do think we don't necessarily play to his strengths like we used to, the whole "he doesn't get chances" argument doesn't make sense.

 

I feel for him playing alongside Iheanacho who is so inconsistent. Yesterday Vardy put one on a plate for him and he was nowhere. But both Vardy's movement and Iheancho's movement needs to improve.

Still seems to be as quick as ever, but not quite as clinical this season and touch relatively lacking. Hopefully just a bit rusty with missing preseason and suspension, and affected by recent knocks.

He’s 32, had little or no rest and a shortened pre-season. On top of that his had to miss 3 games due to suspension.

 

He’ll get plenty of goals this season, playing on average side just like he has for the last two years.

[lcfcrinaldi]

As much as he's out of form at the moment and maybe is past his best, even if only slightly. Who else are we going to replace him with?

 

I would still rather see him upfront than Nacho or Okazaki. And I don't see us going out in the January window and blowing a load on another striker after the heavy fee Nacho cost us.

 

I would love to see us get either Josh King or Callum Wilson, but they wont come cheap.

Before Puel he’d get a lot more chances than create now! He spends large parts of the game not in it,through no fault of his own! I don’t think there’s many strikers who who thrive whilst playing Puel ball!
