You, sir, are an Ostrich.

He’s had the groin problem for a while, so what does that tell you?

[Mythyaar]

Sad that we're thinking along the lines of "anyone but Iheanacho" to fill his role. But shows how important it is to plan NOW for a future without Vardy.

 

[RowlattsFox]

****s sake. I thought things were going a bit too well....

 

Obviously want him back for the Europa league campaign and final stages of the season. But he's missing some crucial games.

Hmmmm

Need a winger or cam asap then, will allow Pérez to be the cf 

Or for Under to be given a chance, step up, and get some goals.

[Merging Cultures]

Harvey to move up front, with Under and RP to go to the wings?

[UHDrive]

NNOOOOOOOOO!!! Kelechi needs to shine now and I wouldn't put Perez up top either. Granted Kelechi is more of a back to goal player but over the course of this season he has actually got better in terms of runs similar to Vards.

[Christoph]

Time for someone to step up to the plate. This is really the chance for Nacho or Perez to try and cement themselves a bit more in the team.

If Perez is replacing you in the team, who comes in for Vards?

[Blue and white]

Hope we've learnt from last season when just before lockdown Vardy was injured, giving Iheanacho four starts in a row scoring none, including that horror show at Norwich.

[filbertway]

Will be interesting to see how we play. 

 

God I hope we win some games in this period, just to put to bed the ridiculous notion that we're going to crumble to dust as a club when the irreplacable Vardy leaves.

[RowlattsFox]

Kelechi had a decent run last season, hopefully he can again. He was woeful against Palace and people are remembering that but he did ok in the Europa leagues in his way  

 

Hopefully Vardy back for Wolves. 

[Sunbury Fox]

There is no getting away from the fact that this is a huge blow. Even when not scoring Vardy is so vital as his very presence creates uncertainty in the opposition ranks and hence space for others. Really very worried about our chances over the next few weeks as I have no confidence that either Nacho or Perez can play a lone striker role. Brendan might need to change the shape of the team to compensate.

[Guest StevieLynex]

I wonder if it's the same op as last time

Please play Barnes upfront and not nacho. Please.

That he’s been in some discomfort. Not that he has been noticeably poor

We have bigger problems, didn't even know @Peckfortonfox was playing, he has been anonymous ffs, sell him quick

I thought that, too. Would be interesting to see. Part of me is loathe to see us mess around with a winning formula. But part of me would be curious about that. Would allow Under his chance, too, without dropping Albrighton. 

[Walshy5]

Right, we need a Covid outbreak to get all these games postponed until he's fit.

Yes. Use him as a makeweight in a deal for ......../

[jeffschlupp]

Here's Rodgers' comments on coping without him:

“We’ve played without Jamie before and scored and won. He’s contributed to the team over these past few weeks even if he hasn’t scored. When you don’t have one of the top strikers in the league, it’s always going to be disappointing. It’s not overly concerning. It’s our best chance of getting him back. Ayoze Perez is a natural striker. He doesn’t threaten the backline as quickly as Vardy, but he’s a great finisher. I‘ve got Kels who can offer a threat too."

 

I think that is why we are in the market for a no.10 - Perez is going to lead the line for a few weeks which leaves us short for Maddison cover.

 

Perez

Barnes Maddison Albrighton

 

with Iheanacho, Gray, AM, Under in reserve

Get someone to organise a house party quick

[Leicester_Loyal]

Got no confidence in Iheanacho stepping up. Please prove me wrong. 

[ARM1968]

Now is the time for Donyell Malen - get the lad in. 

[casablancas]

Could this be used as a positive ... the lads will know that the media are convinced that we are a one man team. Surely they would be able to use that knowledge as a motivator, knowing that they need to step up to make a statement could be motivating. Perhaps like most I’m clutching but in the past playing ruggers I’ve used similar situations to motivate myself and team members to try and kick on into another gear.
