Gosh we are missing players who can hit it first time to find Vardy! Only Albrington does that now. Chilwell cannot and waits for too long. Mendy is not minded to do it at all. Ndidi may have the intention some times but do not have the technical ability to do it. Meanwhile, Maddison needs to come off. They don't have time to set up a pass. Chelsea swarm like nobody's business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea are a strong side, but we’re not poor. Hazard should have been carded. I agree with this. Chelsea away , we're playing ok. Still individual mistakes are more glaring for me than the manager's tactics. Vardy needs to know he is not above hold up play Feel like f the dissenters atm. Better off selling them and building the youth. We are set up ok, players need to step up Edited 22 December 2018 by AlloverthefloorYesNdidi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people still questioning Vardy? He can hardly be blamed for not having any service. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 First off despite all the negativity we have to remember this is a top class team we are playing away who brought our best central midfielder of all time from us and have the most expensive goalkeeper in world history behind the sticks. We've got to half time 0-0 which is a good job. Of course looking at the game, it has home win inevitability written all over it. We are struggling to get out and if we keep giving the ball away I just can't see us keeping a clean sheet for another 45. To be honest Vardy has been a disappointment today giving the ball away far too often. It's hard to play up top by yourself, but a lot of the time it's not even from punts up field, but it's from passes made to him quickly across the floor. You can't put that blame on the manager! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 22 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 22 December 2018 People moaning about being on the back foot against Chelsea away, what do you expect, play open football we will be murdered on the break. Its been a disciplined gritty display. Need more from Maddison, need to drop the billy big bollocks act, if he was as good as his swagger, we would have a player on our hands 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPinCarolina Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 Worth noting we haven’t gotten a win (or is it any points?) from Chelsea away since the 1970s, I think. They have also managed 3 consecutive clean sheets at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not Mahrez level yet and he hogs the ball too much. He should have released Vardy in the counter attacking break. Waits for too long and got dispossessed in the end. Sorry folks - he is not world class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with service though - I don't blame him for not having many chances in the half, he can only feed on the service he's given - I mean he's miscontrolling, he's misplacing passes and that's nothing to do with service. Maybe I'm just feeling more critical since it seems he's the rumoured biggest lobbyist for Puel out but he's not playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be blamed to miss 1.29 good chances per match this season (instead of something close to 0.75 the previous ones) or to only succeeded to make 3 good passes this period. He's simply bad this season and he also has a large part of responsibility in that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiriel Posted 22 December 2018 Share Posted 22 December 2018 Maddison's main squeeze must be happy, judging by how often he goes down. He also had a chance to play Vardy through, but he got greedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to do a lot more to get half a chance this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
