The biggest 2nd half upcoming in a long time. Get behind um lads!!!!

0.5 a penalty isn’t it? 

Just checked and the penalty is 0.79 XG

[CloudFox]

KDH isn't quite on it today, and we're missing creativity in the middle. Ndidi has had plenty of chances to release Vardy or Fatawu, but either mishit it, or turned back (probably lack of confidence he can make the pass).

The both scenarios can exist. He’s done what I have mentioned more times than crossed the ball. 

 

right now though, it’s goals that win us games. A defender with inaccurate passes might not cost us games, so I’ll take those issues all day long if he’s going to get crosses in like that..

[Guest Col city fan]

Funny ol game..

I’m no fan of Hamza, but that goal-line clearance could literally have saved the season. 
If Brom went one-nil up there, our heads would have dropped.

Huge moment in the game that.

As for Vards missing the penno… could be equally as crucial

No, depends on the model but 0.75-0.8 is typical

Vardy gets away with so much but if that was Daka everyone would be calling for his head.

 

However I think Vardy has achieved more in that first half that he has in his last 4 games for us.

That's because Vardy has proven himself here and is one of our best ever strikers, if not players. He's also 37 and winding down in his career. 

 

Daka has shown nothing here outside a few glimpses of quality and is in his prime. 

 

Vardy has earned some grace, Daka hasn't even earned a place in our championship matchday squad.

Wonder why…oh wait, look at the record! 

So in Vardy's case it as all about history, but for Daka its all about the now, feels fair and unbiased.

You’re spot on!

**** his record.

 

I'd expect him to have his record bringing leicester into administration with his 190k PW wages 

 

Honestly the best thing for the football club will be when he leaves so we can move on with the new generation.

 

Look he was amazing and what he has done for the club is nothing but exceptional but he should of left last year

Anybody praised Faes for the cross for the goal?

Its not though is it? Hes had some dreadful penalties over the years

Yeah, sure, but unless I'm misremembering, he tends to smash penalties in? Top corners are quite common from him I thought.

Was just about to. It was an excellent cross.

[Lionator]

There’s a lot of dooming here but we’ve played well, they’re dangerous but nothing we can’t handle. Need to push on though like we did v Norwich.

Wilf scored because of Vardy's header but he always makes me nervous when Vardy takes a penalty.....seen miss important ones before but they didn't cost us the game

Great cross, but he also showcased some of his other skills

Not fantastic, we're lucky to be ahead. Faes doing his best to create a goal for them and Choudhurys positioning has been hit and miss. Ndidi sure scored but isn't really looking on it.

 

They're playing so narrowly though, need to get it out to Fatawu and Mavididi more

Mavadidi ran into space a few times but Faes ignores him and he sends it back putting everyone else under pressure. 
 

He plays like he’s sabotaging us but it’s more likely a case of Hanlon’s razor. 

[LanguedocFox]

Didn’t realise that Big Nige and Sharkey were both on Sky.

No they’re usually between 0.75-0.9 depending on the taker and keeper

Honestly.

 

Vardy

DAKA

maybe Ihanacho 

 

Shouldn't even be anywhere near the team sheets anymore 

Vardys a decent squad option still. Daka and iheanacho I agree on

 

Problem is, Cannon don't look too great either yet.. needed games earlier In the season.. too late to experiment now

 

Vardys experience will see us through.. he'll score 

[Ely fox]

It’s Don Goodman. Yeah he talks a load of rubbish aswell. Lee Hendrie is far better.

Yes especially as he involved in the attack just before we lost the ball. He did really well to get back to block that off the line.
