Jamie Vardy Appreciation

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Write him off at your peril. He’s had lean patches in the past, but I’ll admit this time it doesn’t look good.

[sm1]

Really is sad to see Vardy like this. Poor allround, his decision making, finishing and pace all looked to have deserted him. He's gone through poor patches before, but this time it feels different. 

[Guest David Oldfields Gate]

You could put Pele in his prime in this team and would do no better than Vardy at the moment. The problem is not him.

Giving him another deal was madness. He's our best ever by miles but he's 36 for ****s sake

He's still 35 - until next Wednesday.

 

Don't age him

Wouldnt you think that the new deal would have been less money compared to the old one though ..

well I know it makes for a funny post but we all know this is not true.

 

Vardy missed some shots. We cant say he’s the problem as there’s too many variables  involved but  an aging striker who’s relied on pace plus he missed some straightforward shots.. we’d be naive to think that was not part of the problem..

Why do I keep seeing this  Vardy missed two good chances today.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Vardy is struggling but so is the rest of our attackers, this for me is due to the tactics and style we are currently utilising. We create very little and this is so reminiscent of the last dire months under Puel. We need fresh ideas and tactics where we are on the front foot, pressing high and getting in teams faces, thus current shite of passing sideways amongst our defenders until someone lumps an aimless ball into the box is not going to help any of our forwards let alone Vards.

He missed chances today that he he'd bury two years ago. Man is finished sadly. He's 36. Time to move on.

They were not clean chances,and just always in such circumstances  off his perfect runs..

I still believe even Vardy fans sometimes fail to see,other teammates moves

and the good balls the assists were,after good clean pressure,no matter how short.

We can talk about crispness of Vardy,but it was also the crispness of the passes and the movement to him.
Vardy has changed his game,he had to,he doesn’t charge down lost causes,but

still made & saw space & chances…The team movement is now out of sync…

I believe Vardy still has the games in him,but the movement for him & Daka is not ticking right… 

I would love Nacho & Vardy to play more,but when Nacho does play,even score,

his alround control,when we open up defences,is lost because of his lack of immediate simple ball control…worse than Perez or others who get criticised…

[GingerrrFox]

He’s a legend, no one will ever argue that. He’s been one of our best ever but it really isn’t helping the club move forward by clinging on to the past. A proportion of our fan base need to understand that Jamie Vardy now isn’t even half of what Jamie Vardy was 3 years ago. Listen to any ex professional footballer and they will tell you that all of a sudden you find out you just don’t have it anymore, that is clearly dawning on Vardy now.

[Corky]

Keeper made two good saves from him today. Thought he was more involved than usual 

[adam]

There's a reason why not many sides play with a 35 year old forward. The blokes sadly finished.

Did you not see Nacho dribble through their defence? Pele would of scored at least 3 in that game.

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Would have a scored that miss even a year ago, but finding it tough this season 

[StanSP]

Pains me to see how far he's fallen now

 

[SecretPro]

He's definitely done and we knew when that time came it would be the demise of Leicester City for a generation. 

 

It's been good.

[Blanchflower78]

Shouldn't have been allowed to happen. Terrible management from club. Whilst it was only a cameo, time and time again they have to turn to him. 

[Corky]

Miss was terrible. Looks like he's had enough, would like to see another manager try and work with him.

[brockmyster]

The king is dead

[coolhandfox]

Still made more happen the the rest.

 

Doesn't look happy, look disinterested

 

Would normally be angry with himself missing a chance like that, didn't look bothered.

[Thebluefox85]

He’s done it’s the end

Look the same way as he did under Puel.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I blame Coleen

He still scored under Puel. A lot too
