l444ry Posted 15 September 2022 Posted 15 September 2022 Maybe Rodgers should play Vardy in a front two before deciding whether or not he's finished as a starter. Vardy is another classic example of Rodgers masterplan of how not to use players to their strengths. In other words, pick his system then shoehorn players into it. 2

Vardy is another classic example of Rodgers masterplan of how not to use players to their strengths. In other words, pick his system then shoehorn players into it. Vardy does OK in a front two, but usually as the provider than the finisher. I think it's his movement and the space he then creates for the other forward that is a huge asset. As a goalscorer though in his 30's, he's been far more prolific when plated with a #10 behind him and wingers (at least 1 anyway) 2

And it's the kind of finish you'd expect to see from a regular starter full of confidence. Maybe JV has been working with him closely on the training ground 2

Everything about his performance when he came on was peak Vardy. The running, the hassling, the little touches for other players and then a goal straight out of the Vardy play book. With him coming on for the man himself who'd gone off looking a bit tired it felt eerily like watching a profound moment. A passing of the torch. I felt reassured but also a little sad. I'm a big Patson fan and I hope this is the start of an era but it definitely also feels like the beginning of the end of one. 18

If it does then we will definitely start to climb back up the table with contributions from kel and barnes and the like too. 1
Ian Nacho Posted 3 October 2022 Posted 3 October 2022 Showing real signs of becoming the Vardy replacement we’ve been longing for. I think the time is now for Patson to start games on a regular basis. 3

It's not really that ends of the pitch that caused us the problems to put us bottom. We are scoring plenty but if we don't increase confidence and quality at the back it will be a long season.
Lcfc-1992 Posted 3 October 2022 Posted 3 October 2022 Hold up play was very good tonight, usually something that lets him down

Are you that chap that commentated on England v Italy, ITV, European Championship final last summer?
brookfox Posted 3 October 2022 Posted 3 October 2022 Think my favourite thing about his goal wasn’t the finish but the little turn and run at the defence he did before laying it off. Feel like he’s getting the confidence to now do that as opposed to take the easier option and lay it back where it came from. Nice cameo and now must be close to a start. As much as he’s a legend I do wonder if it was heart over head extending Vardys contract. 4

If Vardy helps with the finishing touches to Daka's development, even if his own game contributions wane, it will be money well invested. 4

I would rather he come on against tired legs after Daka ran himself sick for 60 minutes. 1

Though Vardy will like yesterday comeback with those odd performances...He still created & had good movement last night..
CosbehFox Posted 4 October 2022 Posted 4 October 2022 With the 5 subs role, Rodgers if he’s going to play this shape has to go with 60/30 split. One of them runs their legs off and then throw another on
Fox92 Posted 4 October 2022 Posted 4 October 2022 Great finish. I thought he played well at Spurs tbf. Comes on last night and gets a goal. Asking serious questions now about starting instead of Vardy. 1

On that point about Vardy, often feel the city and club haven’t made into as much an icon as he is. Go Rome with Totti. Maradona with Naples. Even Belotti with Torino. There’s a reference everywhere you look Edited 4 October 2022 by CosbehFox

Vardy should be used as an impact sub these days, his best days are behind him. He was our worst player last night, lost count the amount of times he was offside. He should come on with 20 mins left in a game, Daka should start from now on. Vardy has been brilliant for us though during his career.
