Jamie Vardy Appreciation

[Sir Shep]

He is the GOAT, but this goat needs to be put out to stud now.

Rather have a 50 year old Vardy then Daka.

He’s done isn’t he. If we are going to persist in starting him every week he needs to be in a 2 up there.

Brendan will say we can't ''control'' the game if we play 2 up top. That'll be his reason for not doing it.

[ronnup]

Time for the statue.

 

Thanks for everything 

[whetstonefox]

We all knew this moment was going to happen, unfortunately he’s part of an awful team. In an ideal world he’d be used to see games out last 5/10 minutes in a decent starting 11. 

[peterborofox]

He's well past it and made worse in a shit side.

 

Can't be relying on him to be banging them in any more 

[Gamble92]

Still confident he can recapture a bit of form and be an impact player BUT why the **** is Rodgers talking about time catching up with him and then starting him? Another Brendan masterclass

[smudger63]

He is an all time great of our club, and his story and achievements make him a premier league legend, but it's painful to see him now. You can see his heart is still there, but sadly I think he's done, and saying that makes me feel horrible. I really hope though, he can have one last hurrah, prove me wrong, and ram my opinion back down my throat. 

[Arkie Bennett]

If he continues to play enough times he will score the odd goal here and there because he has the instinct. But he no longer has the speed or the presence. It's sad but inevitable. Still the greatest, mind.

[Bazly]

Only one goal this season in 1,100 minutes. That is a pure retirement stat for a centre forward. it had to end sometime and I'd hate it to end for him as a player in a relegated team or god forbid to carry on as a Championship player.

[Raj]

Yep, sad but it's over I'm afraid...really sad to see but we knew the time would come.

Hopefully he can nurture any talent we have before BR gets to them...

Like some other  players,until I see an ethos ,spirit & character built around or on the team, it's totally not worth judging individual performances...

Vardy (Daka) too often left with no outlet, & few clean cut chances.

.Front 6 no interfacing.or chance to click into a rythme,in this type of set up & performance.

Sad

He's not been the same since his wife's case was a shambles and he ended up footing the bill to pay off the Rooney's

We’ve been carrying him  for a while now,  his frailties masked by a team at least  fighting. The fights gone and there’s no where for him to hide now.

 

 

Greatest Leicester player in my generation and will always be a legend, but just like  Kasper, it’s hard to keep justifying his massive wages…

[Daggers]

I don't need apologies from everyone who gave me pelters when I said we shouldn't offer him a contract or when I stated he needed shipping out before summer.

 

Love the man to bits, but it was always bleeding obvious that you don't rely on a 36yr old to lead your line in the Prem.

[fuchsntf]

Rodgers quite rightly, will not go to Vardy & say sorry fella, & Legend,

Time to reasses your next step in your career...

 

Vardy will see it himself, EO this season,or during next season....

Or we as a club refind our mojo, and he starts a new scoring rampage..

 

[GeorgeTheFox]

Still think he has a couple of big moments in him. He'll score an important goal or two and can sail off into the sunset

Scores the goal that keeps up on the last day of the season. 

[Hammo]

Not sure whose decline has been more rapid. Our manager or our greatest ever striker.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

There was a moment today where he did the classic Vardy shuffle from side to side with one defender to beat, and instead of creating an angle and getting a shot off, he gave Barnes (?) a meek hospital pass that the defender intercepted. 
 

For a moment I thought he would smash it in, or at least get a shot on target. But no…

 

Blokes gone sadly. Delighted to be proven wrong mind.

[Collymore]

People over reacting massively. He's a part of the Brendan machine that's failing spectacularly. 

 

He'd be prolific again under the right manager.

He's 36. He will never be prolific ever again.

Definitely Vardy we are noticing a massive difference even in the last 6 months, Rogers drop off has been more of a progressive decline over 1-2 years.
