Farrington fox Posted 22 February 2020 Share Posted 22 February 2020 Dunno what’s up with the lad. Needs to get his shit together fast. Can’t see Benda dropping him though, he worships the ground Vards walks on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ttfn Posted 22 February 2020 Share Posted 22 February 2020 Just now, themightyfin said: Really wish people would stick to playing Fifa when they come home from school when they clearly know nothing about football You’ve made nothing but dismissive points in this thread. Engage with the question. Why is he better than Iheanacho at the moment (concussion notwithstanding)? Touch, passing, movement and finishing is all off at the moment. Loads of completely understandable reasons for that - new baby and injury to say the least - but the lack of goals is the symptom rather than the problem. He’s a great striker but he’s in very poor form and we’ve not won a game he’s played more than 45 minutes of since 8 December. There’s a pretty good case for trying something different in the interests of the team. Nobody is advocating dropping him forever. Im also not sure it’s healthy to have a player that’s “undroppable” but that’s probably a different discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted 22 February 2020 Share Posted 22 February 2020 Ok I get the picture you want him to start, this was in no way meant as a disrespect. But I will repeat having watched this game for 30 years every striker outside of Messi or Ronaldo is droppable at some point no matter how good they are.

He won’t be leading scorer at the end at this rate. He’s been woeful for months now. If we had options we’d be trying them, but we don’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s bloody obvious, short runs he’s still good, but anything about 35m+ out it’s a poor lay-off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 22 February 2020 Share Posted 22 February 2020 I thought he was good today. Certainly looked a lot better than Aguero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikw Posted 22 February 2020 Share Posted 22 February 2020 I thought he was better today then he's been for a while. His recent slump seems to stem from his wife giving birth and a couple of niggling injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he made some great runs. He beat their defenders to the ball virtually every time. Unlucky with his finish to hit the post. I'll give you that he lost the ball a few times but the support at times took ages to arrive. Worst performance you've seen from him in a long time? I think the scoreline is clouding your mind. Do you remember how he played under Puel? Even Vardy in his current form is ten times the player he was under Puel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzFOX Posted 23 February 2020 Share Posted 23 February 2020 The whole team is missing the edge the X factor, mojo, midus touch or whatever you wanna call it. That has been the difference between an average foxes side to the 1st half season side which was blowing teams away. This is a critical juncture our club is at now. Either we finish this season strong and claim 3rd spot or we start to slip away slowly. Chelsea picked up 3 points away but more than their win was how they battled today for every 1st, 2nd & 3rd ball hungry to win. Leicester simply cannot be complacent any longer. To arrest the slide we need to NOT lose no matter what then start to follow quickly with a succession of wins to get full confidence back. cmon Rogers do something! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 23 February 2020 Share Posted 23 February 2020 (edited) I think he made better runs yesterday, looked sharper, but there were still some moments where he looked uncharacteristically poor. In the second half he tried a back heel to Chilwell and completely messed it up. Also a few time the ball went up to him with his back to goal, he got the ball held it up and then messed up the pass. He was really unlucky to hit the post first half, if that's slightly to the right, it goes in off the post and we're all saying he's back.

RowlattsFox Posted 23 February 2020 Share Posted 23 February 2020 We've looked decent at times with Perez and Iheanacho together so wouldn't be against him being on the bench for the next game. I guess he's earn't the right to stick with him but you can't keep playing him for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 23 February 2020 Share Posted 23 February 2020 Yes he's a legend, yes he's out best striker when on form. The fact is he's been off-form for quite a while. Just because he's still the top scorer in the Premier League (due to the inadequacies of the other strikers) it doesn't mean he's beyond criticism. Yesterday I would say he was our worst player by a distance. Iheanacho made more runs into the channels and looked more likely to create and link up play than Vardy. There were so many times when Chilwell, Fuchs or Ricardo got the ball and they were crying out for a striker to run into the channels, and yet Vardy was simply holding his position and not moving. When Vardy did get the ball, more often than not he didn't have the pace to beat his man (Walker and Fernandinho both beat him on runs) and he was so sloppy in possession. That attempted pass to Barnes in the second half was woeful. I'd give him another game at Norwich but if he doesn't deliver then I'd seriously consider dropping him. I'll be taking him out of my fantasy football team as well!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 23 February 2020 Share Posted 23 February 2020 When his early shot smacked the post I thought 'here we go again'!! Vardy is indicative of the whole team currently. Not playing bad, just 10 per cent off what it takes to be real winners. Brendan needs to fire Jamie and then all up. Pizza!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
