Jamie Vardy Appreciation

[cruzFOX]

Vardy’s finishing is off target at the moment 

if he re discovers that he’ll be having them goals in again. Chances are still coming to him

[Dickov22]

Vardy shouldn’t be starting games for us anymore. He’s our greatest ever player for many reasons, but to expect him to still be able to perform as a lone striker when he’s almost 36 is too much. Impact sub at best now.

We can’t be waiting for him to score goals when we have as good or if not better players on the bench. Can’t think of a chance against Man City for him.

Worth listening to his recent interview on podcast with Michael Calvin. It's more in-depth - probably about as in-depth you'll hear a footballer talking about the actual game

I keep harping on about the 5 sub thing but in general the impact of attacking fresh legs for the last 20 minutes is lessened if the opposition has just refreshed and reorganised its defensive midfield. 2016 Vardy would have been a late terror but I see him more as a worker now.

As others have said, but for poor finishing this season he could have had 5 or 6 goals....... he aint done yet.

 

I agree that he has lost sustained pace and at 36 he should not be playing the lone striker for extended periods. He would still be a handful, if not a terror, as an impact sub.

 

However, If I was boss I would try and utilize him for part of the game, well supported or in a partnership.

I honestly think he would be better used starting in a partnership and grafting for 30 to 45 mins and using a sub or two to reorganise early.

Even in an early straight swap with Daka, Daka would still be finishing the game with 30 to 45 minutes less running in his legs, still fresh as a daisy at the final whistle

Lovely to see him score a couple tonight. There are very few things that make me happier than seeing Jamie Vardy score goals.

[KP Fox]

Great to see Vards scoring again. Some to$$er in the match thread posted that Vard is past it. 

[Tanya]

I was very, very concerned when Vardy didn't shoot when he was in on goal in the first half. Had some very scary thoughts on how he might be on a sharp decline...

 

And then his second goal he makes a fool of three players and slots it in, as cool as you like.

 

He never lets his head drop. He keeps pushing.

 

Legend.

His 400th appearance for the club as well. Incredible 

[Beachyboy]

All strikers need to score regularly to keep that belief, JV has always been a streaky player in terms of scoring and not scoring. His age will get questioned more and more, if we give him some fixtures like last night, where there is a greater chance of scoring, he can still be a useful member of the squad, but I like to see Daka starting as it shows we are looking forward.

Any idea how many goals he's scored for us in all competitions?

There are reasons behind his decision to pass the ball to Perez for a tap in. First off all it was Newport and strikers like Vardy often come into these games against significantly weaker opponents with a different mentality. Secondly, it was obvious since the first minute of the game that the plan was to have Perez involved as much as possible, mainly to increase his confidence/morale I reckon. 

Vardy is an intelligent player, he knew before the game that he would have at least 2-3 chances of 1-on-1 against Newport's GK.

His second goal last night made me smile so much. That was vintage Vardy and something we've seen countless time since he's been here. He's finished when he says he finished as far as I'm concerned

Brilliant gesture from Vardy.

Apologies if it was shared elsewhere but thought this was really sweet bless

Wish he was 29 again

[GingerrrFox]

It’s sad to say but he’s done at this level.

Sadly he seems to be now, 

[cropstonfox]

He's not match fit due to not playing.

Admittedly he's lost a yard but still our best forward due to lack of decent signings.

[Big Dave]

Sadly, can’t see him scoring many more this season.  Hope I’m wrong.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I think he's been on the wane for a few seasons. Certainly as regards goal scoring. He just doesn't take that early strike anymore. He wants an extra touch and more time. With the angle or opportunity ever diminishing. His all round play is still better than Daka. But the Vardy we loved is no more. 

[Bezzanator89]

Might get another 5 goals out of him, but he is really not the player that terrorises defences anymore, and even link-up play is on its way out. I won't blame him if he leaves this summer whilst the fanbase is still on his side.
