Vindaloo FOX Posted 24 January 2022 Posted 24 January 2022 Need to build the team around him over the next few seasons. 2
Bptiger Posted 24 January 2022 Posted 24 January 2022 Has anyone noticed how often he goes to ground or he just falls over , not sure if it’s his boots or he has bad balance

I’ve been critical of Bouba’s start to life at Leicester but this guy has been terrific in the main. His premier league involvement has been sporadic with us generally favouring Vards to start, but 7 goal contributions in 9 games says everything. I don’t know about everyone else but I always feel Daka’s a threat either with his pace or his poachers instinct in the box, I think this guy is mustard and will continue improve! Even more impressive when you consider Vardy has 3x more minutes played 1

This approach is how we've progressed as a club, not signing someone like Vestergaard on huge wages just because he's played averagely in the PL for a few years. If we sign a PL player we should be looking only at those who have excelled in the PL. Mostly they'll be out of our reach financially but occasionally one will come around that is attainable eg Evans. But in the main picking up talented and hungry young players from Europe is a better way forward, I think. Edited 24 January 2022 by Sunbury Fox

lgfualol Posted 24 January 2022 Posted 24 January 2022 Would score 60 goals if he started every prem game. Bloke just loves goals.

coolhandfox Posted 24 January 2022 Posted 24 January 2022 When fit we have 3 great strikers in Vards, Kel and Daka. 2

I think maybe you've got him confused with Shinji of circa 2017 1

Going to get better and better when service comes. The sign of a good striker. When he gets a chance he’s a really cool finisher. He looks isolated at times though as the lone striker. His game isn’t a target man who’s going to hold the ball up well and bring in other players all the time. He looks like a fox in the box to me. Either we play someone alongside him or we get the midfield further forward to supply him better. Without either I think he’ll have barren games where he looks lost.

Be interesting to see him and nacho together
theessexfox Posted 24 January 2022 Posted 24 January 2022 He’s done really well - I know it’s not really his game and I’m not expecting him to be Giroud, but he’d benefit from being able to hold it up a bit better and relieve pressure when we’re under the pump
Number 6 Posted 24 January 2022 Posted 24 January 2022 Still looks quite raw at times but undoubtedly has a knack of finding the net or being involved in goals. Very good return so far given the limited game time too. Thought he was going to be a similar player to Vardy and he has the 1v1 finishing to match, but looks a slightly different type of player to me. Would like to see him play with some support alongside him - either from Nacho or Vardy - but he seems to be developing nicely and is one of the plus points in a fairly disappointing season so far.

I like Daka a lot but I don't think he has the same strength and aggression as Vardy. 'I like Daka a lot but I don't think he has the same strength and aggression as Vardy'. Neither did Vardy at Daka's age, it's easy to forget he's only just turned 23 years of age. Neither is he used to the pace and physicality of Premiership football which is not to be underestimated. Can anyone remember Drogba's first season at Chelsea? He was quite poor to be honest but what an unplayable powerhouse he became when he got his feet under the table. Daka needs game time even when Vardy's back, as does Iheanacho. They are the future. That is in no way disrespectful to Vardy because he still has a vital part to play and there's room for all three here! I think some of Daka's runs off the ball are remarkably clever and if he'd been playing at Man City or Liverpool I think he'd have scored even more because their players might have just seen his runs also! I think he's made an incredible start to his Leicester career personally and will be another Fofana ie this time next year we'll already be struggling to keep him. He, like Tielemans and Fofana, will understandably want and deserve Champions League football. We blew that 2 seasons running. This sumner's transfer window will be a defining moment for our long term future as will be whether we keep Rodgers or not. Edited 24 January 2022 by volpeazzurro 4

Imagine if we’d opted for a ‘proven’ player instead. Like Perez? 🤣🤣 Just keep Rodgers and his mate away from the recruitment team until the end of summer 🤣.
Nicolo Barella Posted 25 January 2022 Posted 25 January 2022 Next season, if we can somehow translate Maddison's occasional good performance at RM this season into consistency, imagine this team Iheanacho Daka Barnes Dewsbury-Hall Ndidi Maddison Thomas Evans* Fofana Justin If Evans ever returns to his previous levels... 1

Maddison playing in the half spaces seems to be a role that has worked for him to a degree but he needs to be the '8 or #10. We resolve the issue for the Right side, stop fudging the issue, can we please get it done.

Popular Post funkyrobot Posted 10 February 2022 Popular Post Posted 10 February 2022 Struggling with the physicality in the Premier League again. He needs to bulk up and add a bit of shithousery to his game. He’s got a lot to do to fill Vardy’s boots, particularly this element. It’s too easy for matip and VVD. 5

HesNotGudjonsonn2 Posted 10 February 2022 Posted 10 February 2022 I agree he needs to work on his hold up play but I think he is instructed to run off the shoulders so needs the through balls. 1

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 10 February 2022 Posted 10 February 2022 He's doing alright up against arguably the best cb in world football, think he looks up for it but he's not really had a sniff, not much more he could be doing, maybe get in to space for madison when he has his chance but doubt he'd have passed anyway. Looks lively. 1
