Vardy’s miss vs Boro was worse and cost us the same amount of points. I imagine you won’t be forgiving Vardy either? 

Odd comment. We were two down at that point and he also scored later in the game. Daka had to chance to kill the game completely and ****ed it.

This has been covered. Vardy has credit in the bank so it doesn't count.

Just don't.  Recently won player of the month and has decent stats since coming into the side.  Overall game has improved massively, and improved us too, but is missing some premium chances. He is still a work in progress since coming back, and can continue to get better. 

 

But no, he's a donkey and doesn't deserve to wear the shirt again.

Vardy has done more for this club than Daka will ever do. Vardy is also 37 at the end of his career. Absolute no comparison.

 

Vardy was also running in with a defender on his heels against Middlesbrough. Daka had more time, and more time to think on Friday. Vardy would have buried Daka’s chance on Friday, especially with it being at Elland Road, and has been doing that for the past decade in big games. I cannot recall the last time Daka scored in a big game or against another good team.

I have to, how else will they learn?

Vardy is one of the best strikers to ever grace top flight football.  But he's not even our best striker now and over the last 2 years has not converted high quality chances. He's great to have around, but I would be foolish putting my money on him converting that, especially the amount of ground Daka made up. There is no defending Daka's shot, i shouldn't need to. But it shouldn't be all that defines him following coming back into the team.

 

And he did score a perfectly good goal in the leeds game

Comparing a miss is not the same as comparing the players. Nobody is comparing Daka to Vardy as players.

 

Edit As pointed out by @moore_94 the xG for Vardy’s miss was actually higher than Daka’s, but as I say, it’s the miss not the player being compared.

It doesn’t define Daka. My point is big moments which is why I feel Vardy would have scored that alone. Of course I’m not claiming Vardy is our best striker anymore, but big players deliver in big moments and that’s what still separates Vardy from the rest.

 

When Daka scores in at least one big game then I will concede. But we’ve QPR next so no doubt Daka will score

I responded to OP asking if someone was forgiving the player (Vardy) for the miss.

In fairness Daka did deliver but the linesman issued a chargeback and the ref refunded the scoreline.

Good point. I still wouldn't feel confident in him being played through on goal in a big game though.

Daka DID score his chance to win us the game but the ref disallowed a perfectly good goal. Don’t forget that part.

This is it for me. Daka scores tap ins against dross and that's about it.

No. You think it’s jealousy?

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Don’t get the hate for daka thought he had a brilliant game, played big part in the first goal, scored a perfectly good goal and missed a great chance. Link up play was very good, held the ball up, always a threat in behind and closed down well. Can’t see how you can single him out on that performance. Might as well take digs at Riccy P for misplacing a pass during the game.

Possibly inferiority 

[scinnell]

Daka has improved his game massively. His link up play and ability to drop deep has greatly improved since the start of the year. Usually Daka is a good finisher, but he has missed two great chances against Boro and Leeds - I am sure this will improve. We missed Daka's high press during the run up to Leeds first goal.

I sympathise with him… I’d of probably missed it to

He’s a goal poacher. That’s his job.  It takes more than just sticking your big toe out.  The positional awareness, the reading of the game and getting there before the defender or goalkeeper. The way he managed to get his foot up high and over the ball for the goal he scored was impressive the control needed for it too... It’s a big disservice to say he  scores ‘ tap ins ‘

I would say there’s a big doubt he will score

Plymouth, Millwall, Rotherham, Stoke and a penalty against Watford. Dross.
