Popular Post KingsX Posted 22 June 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 22 June 2020 Dunk is on nine yellows, so the next costs him two games. BHA can ill afford that. Not sure whether that will affect his positioning or aggressiveness. You’d think it at least rules out the professional foul if Vardy receives a pass on his shoulder. Another reason to play aggressively and test them early. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV is world class and as said before prime JV aged 20-25 is upwards of 150 mill and the best striker in world football. He really is that good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanolegend1989 Posted 22 June 2020 Share Posted 22 June 2020 Lets hope he gets the golden boot he deserves. With Abamayang struggling in a poor team and Aguero and Salah the other threats, I could see 22 goals being enough to get the boot. 3 more for Vards come on son! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 22 June 2020 Share Posted 22 June 2020 Perhaps we overachieved (by quite a bit) in the first half of the season and have underachieved (not quite as much) since - but we're third and shouldn't lower than fourth. Imagine saying at the start of the season that with eight games to go "we might finish ... AS LOW AS FOURTH" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at our results after xmas and I might be wrong but we’ve only beaten imo 2 very poor sides - villa and West Ham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing it around keeping possession uses just as much energy if not more than the tesm sitting back letting you play. Yes you can make the opposition move around by moving the ball but to do that the possession team has to constantly be running on and off the ball creating the triangles to keep the ball. A major point of moving the ball around in possession isn't necessarily to physically tire teams, but mentally tire them. Concentrating on keeping compact for 90 minutes is extremely difficult when you're being constantly moved side to side. You have to watch both the ball, opposition player's movements and your own teammate's movements. However, if it's done slowly, then it completely defeats the purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UPinCarolina Posted 22 June 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 22 June 2020 Definitely want to see Nacho and Vardy on pitch together more than we have this season to date. Nacho is not the player he was last season, mentally. Seems like he has really improved there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Le Bleu Posted 22 June 2020 Share Posted 22 June 2020 Are they showing the game for free on YouTube? This is City's official YouTube channel. Or is it just a fan chat thing to go alongside watching it on Sky. By looks of it, they're streaming the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience the Foxes' return to Premier League action alongside former favourites Steve Walsh, Gerry Taggart and Tony Cottee." It's a talk show, I think it goes on during the game, but they don't show the game. Edited 22 June 2020 by Beechey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he will grow into a top top player and play for an elite club. Vardy is world class but hes 33 and is not at his peak, but prime Vardy is a world class striker and a Premier League great. If he was 20-25 now he'd be worth 150 mill, absolutely no doubt about it. You're a bit off the deep end for me. Praise YT all you like, he will batter sides if they give him the time and space to do it, but Praet has very few weaknesses and I struggle to remember him having a poor game. You can think YT is essential without dissing the Denis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're passing around at a walking pace, the other team can defend at a walking pace. If you're moving around then the defenders basically just have to match that effort. The reason we probably do better later in games is because our squad is younger and fitter than most other squads. Or certainly was earlier in the season. Done correctly it gives you a competitive advantage later in games done badly it achieves nothing and fin - ask vards if he likes playing against a possession based top side that make him chased the ball from side to side or one that punts it forward so he doesn’t have to chase it like a dog !

Hes got no weaknesses because hes got no strengths either, hes just a hard working journeyman midfielder whose a good back up but is not a starter if we want to be anything more than a mid to lower mid table team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not JV likes playing BR possession based style. In the short time he's been here JV has expressed that BR has improved his game more than anyone before. He has added so much more to his game and is a much more rounded player than the Old Vardy sit on the shoulder and chase everything. As time goes on for him over the next few years I see his gane adapting even more. At some point he will loose a yard of pace its inevitable but adding extra dimensions to his game now and understanding the game more is what he will gain from a manager like BR. So while he may loose his pace he will never loose the most important part of his game. His finishing. He feels BR can add years to his game and talks are already underway to extend his contract beyond 2022 when he will be 35. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referencing how much JV likes running his balls off between opposition centre backs who are playing keep ball in tandem with a deep lying CDM ..... like I said, if possession based play is done correctly (ie with pace on the ball and purpose) then it’s pays dividends later in games.

Also one of the best managers. It's crazy that we have this quality of player and coach, but we do. Top 4 is right this season... And it will be a brilliant achievement.
