Jamie Vardy Appreciation

[coolhandfox]

I though he looked sharper today then he has for a long time.

 

Thought his movement was excellent. 

 

Another day and he get 2.

It was his best general performance in awhile.

 

Mind you it was Perez’s best game this season and Ian’s best game wearing the shirt, Albrighton was fantastic when he came on, everyone looked good, really, and not knocking the performance but they were abysmal and that was definitely a part of it. They need Heckingbottom out ASAP.

Albrighton was a definite upgrade on Ricky ...  him and Timmy aren’t doing it at the moment ...   not sure why.

[Hollyfox]

If we'd known he would only score 1 goal after the spurs game in December, most would have predicted us falling out of the top 5 or 6.

Just shows the team spirit and overall togetherness of the club to come through such a tough period, with injuries /players coming back etc. 

 

Not to mention, being in the 1/4 final of the FA Cup. 

 

Hopefully they'll look forward to next Sunday and get some decent rest, whilst Utd have a tough away game on Thursday

Heckingbottom

 

Surely one of the most northern names ever😄😄

You are Gareth Southgate and I claim my £5

You can take the mick, but I called it (per my post 28th Feb), got ridiculed on the next comment and now maybe we can all see Vardy's evolution is playing on the left/left wing.

 

I repeat take the mick, but today he put 2 goals on a plate from that position.

It's a new leaf turned over by our Jamie

Indeed ...   as opposed to Sorebottom which is much more a southern name ...  very southern ...  almost coastal in fact.

I’m only messing fella. Southgate obviously thought JV could do a job out left too, just like you said.

I've never known anybody with Sorebottom as a surname

 

Hope you enjoyed your summer holidays though👍

We obviously all know his class but today just shows to everyone else how good his game is away from scoring goals. Providing for his teammates and movement off the ball to create space for others. Little bit of a shame the goal couldn't be his but it was never going in. Still, a quality partnership forming with Iheanacho currently just at the right time. 

The week's rest seems to have done him the world of good. 

Several of Kelechi's best performances for us have come when he's been playing with Vardy. It's about time we tried to regularly play them together.

Because they're both coming back from lengthy injuries.

 

Its gonna take a long time for Ricardo especially to get back to his best.

[Bourbon Fox]

Watching the highlights, I don't actually think he was trying to score for the 5th. He gives the eyes but he's definitely squaring it for Kelechi the way I see it - even though you might interpret his body language afterwards as rueful.

 

Wonderful, mature play - today he decimated them in a different fashion.

[filbertway]

I'm just glad the credit for his roles in Nacho's goals are deserved today. Actual assists rather than people making out that he invented movement. Looked much sharper today

He's absolutely going for goal there

I think he was shooting but I see your point and he could of just been drilling it in an area.

It was hard to score without some luck off the keeper that chance though.

The 2 big chances that were poor was the one where he made himself off Bryan first half and the one Nacho put in for him 2nd - both tame left footed efforts straight at the keeper. He has to take at least one of those 2, no doubt about it.

However great performance and hopefully he gets his shooting boots on in training and gets a few goals before the end of the season as it would be nice if he gets to 20 in all comps.

I'd have whipped it near post 

[RowlattsFox]

Apart from the one off the line every chance seems to fall in his left foot at the minute. The one in first was typical at the minute, had a decent amount of time but didn't really look or aim anywhere.

He kept hitting either the keeper or players so decided to try and miss everyone, it was a stroke of genius

Imagine winning 5-0 with Vardy being instrumental in it and the the first thing that springs to mind is he didn’t score . 🙄

My first reaction after a win is something like "get in, job done, boom, three points, onwards" etc.

Others, with strong whatabouttery tendencies, seem to prefer to highlight faults.

 

One example would be after the 2-1 at Bramall Lane, where we nicked the points with a dramatic winner. I was buzzing.

Came on here and it was flooded with people moaning about a crap performance.

Joyless people, life vampires, mood hoovers, fun sponges.

Yeah but Geoff, what if we'd played someone decent?

I can hear you saying those things and it's making me chuckle.

 

£10 to a charity of your choice for every one of those you get in to commentary before the end of the season

Kelechi has entered the thread... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[CosbehFox]

There was a stat on the coverage of the Burnley game where a Vardy / Kelechi partnership had apparently scored something like 19 in 21 games? Yesterday would make that either 23 in 23 or 24 in 24.
