Bear with it ..   some nice comments towards the end ...

 

 

Pity nobody reminded him that he called our owners clowns and that decent Leicester supporters should drive them out after they sacked Claudio.

Interesting, hardly shocking given Southgate is still in charge.

 

I don't think he'd be asked anyway. Kane, Rashford, Abraham and Wilson all ahead of him in Southgate's plans.

Wilson involved in the smallest way possible.  

 

I agree anyhow, he wouldn't be asked and would reject anyhow

No doubt it’s been mentioned 100000000000000000000 times but is that 6 in a row from our GOAT?

[Sir Shep]

If you put Jamie in to Wikipedia our Vards comes up second, just after Jamie Lee Curtis, legend!

[dmayne7]

Lacking in energy today and pretty poor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to some fans I heard on the way out.

How many goals in a row is he up to now?

3 goals 2 assists in 3 games this month. Surely a write-in for player of the month for the second consecutive month! 

 

 

That would make him the 6th player to win 5 or more player of the months in the Premier league! 

 

Legend. 

That is quite the crowd to be linked with, all legends of the game!

 

On a side-note, I was at an awards do the other week and was sat next to some Preston fan... they asked me who the greatest player I've ever seen was, blue specs off... I still think it's Vardy! If he was early 20's he'd be worth more then Mbappe!

5

Correct me if I’m missing something but I make it 7:

Burnley (1)

Southampton (3)

Palace (1)

Arsenal (1)

Brighton (1)

 

No one appears to be discussing it so I must be wrong!

[Dorkingfox]

It is not the actual goals it is consecutive games he has scored in

Sorry, had a few beers... I've interpreted it as how many consecutive games.

The record is for consecutive games scored, but yeh he's on 7 overall

[whoareyaaa]

Only Vardy could beat his own record. no pressure ..

Got it. Stupid rule.

The thing that makes vardy even better is that 95% of the time his game is so simple, but he is so good at being deadly. His game intelligence is also first class.

 

Take the first goal for example. Most strikers would have taken that on and not squared it, but his awareness and unselfishness meant he laid it on a plate for Perez. This was a crucial time in the game which was in the balance at that point. I guarantee you the likes of Kane et al. would have shot and potentially squandered it, when there was a better option. This is what makes him better than anyone imo, he makes the correct decision, which is also reflected in his conversion rate.

a bit revisionist. vards had had two clear cut chances that he didn't finish and that definitely factored in to him waiting

Legend. 

Mane probably the only player to challenge him this month. Shame that our game V Everton got moved to December 1st! Otherwise yeah he probably would have took it. Liverpool play the Saturday...

Be amazing if he could though take it to 15 this time !!

[StriderHiryu]

Brilliant all round performance today! If we are being critical, he should probably have scored a few more goals, but he led from the front and though Kasper wears the armband, of recent I feel like Vardy is the real leader of the team. He set the example throughout the game, despite the rain and it's infectious and makes the others run as hard as he does. Very unselfish play on several occasions too, both Perez and Maddison should have scored from the chances he created for them.

 

Overall player of the season in the league for me so far. He's ageing like a fine wine!

[st albans fox]

The passage of play second half where he bullies their players in the centre circle and then beats the cb to the bouncing ball to go clear and set up Pérez (the first chance not taken) is just incredible ........ it should be shown to all kids who want to be a striker ......it’s not just about sticking it in the back of the net ......its the desire and the mucky stuff that needs doing !!!!

[Ric Flair]

Less than a year ago he was on the periphery of our play, and in some games he is still less involved but it's quite amazing the difference in the two regimes. He was at the epicenter of every break we made yesterday, he was electric. 

 

What I love about this team is, we will quickly switch from either counter attacking to possession based football whatever the game requires of us. We only had 47% of the play yesterday as it became clear that with Brighton leaving gaps at the back with their play that we could set traps and then quickly expose them, food and drink to Vardy that. You love to see it, you really do.

Hardly shocking considering he just got stuck on the wings and was barely used effectively. 

Southgate is all about the youth development in the national team, no room for Vardy there,

 

I'd fully expect Vardy to reject the call-up, if Southgate ever gave him a call.

[January47]

I always thought the year before the World Cup and six months after he wasn’t fully fit. Was carrying a groin injury which also meant he couldn’t train properly. Seems to be over that and with a proper close season rest is showing just how good he really is.
