Patson Daka

[LVFox]

Thought his movement was good today, but finishing wasn't there (the one area I'm probably most confident in him). Hold up play needs work and I'd definitely go Kelechi over him at the moment but worth sticking with.

 

 

[Clever Fox]

I think his problem is poor service.

 

We've been shit for so long passing through the lines that we can make anyone look bad.

 

What he needs is the help of an experienced attacking Coach or an Ex Striker with a different style to Vardy.

With a better Coach who can help him how to find better positioning and space in attacking area's. 

[An Sionnach]

Europe is full of dud strikers. Why do you think Ibrahimovic is still doing it at 66. These kids are one season wonders. Alan Shearer would be worth £300 million these days.

Neither Kel or PD have JV’s striker’s  instincts or footballing brain . They are slow to react and create scoring chances and the fraction of additional time they require mostly nullifies their threat . I don’t think it’s something you can learn or be coached into either 

Have you seen Jamie Vardy since 2021? Iheanacho is our best striker now. Get with the times.

Yes oddly enough I have . Don’t be disingenuous it’s obvious I was referring to Vardy at a comparable age . If your contention is correct we are definitely in trouble

That’s a fair point with your narrative. But your narrative is wrong(obviously in my opinion!). I can agree that we’re definitely in trouble regardless.

People comparing him to prime Vardy are always going to end up disappointed. 

In fact if you compare to prime Vardy uptop to whoever plays there then you will  fall short.

 

You simply don't replace him like for like. 

He's up there with the greatest striker's in our history and one of the best the Prem has ever seem.

 

Whoever lands the job to replace Vardy in the end is going to be compared, and it's unrealistic to think you will get anywhere near.

 

Judge him once he's had a run of games, instead of being in and out of the team.

There is no substitute for playing week in week out.

 

Huge plus for me today is he's getting chances. If he wasn't getting them I'd be more worried.

 

We as Leicester fans should know better then most to never write a player off. 

 

Glad we didn't with Vardy when others in his career had.

Coming from someone who has never coached or won a trophy in football and probably works at a kebab shop in Braunstone. Poor character 

What a very strange comment. !! If only people who have coached or won trophies are allowed to comment this will be a very limited forum.

Were you violated by a kebab shop worker from Braunstone ?  Is that where the bias comes from.??

Probably the fact he’s never getting service, can’t build any confidence, starts one week not the next. 
 

Again, Kelechi was the same for a while, people saying he looked like a competition winner - think it’s too early to write him off. Wasn’t that long ago he scored a hat full in Europe 

So when he miskicks the ball that's his team mate's fault. Got it.

 

Funny how when Nacho comes on with the same "service" he immediately goes on a strong run and hits the target forcing a save, then scores a few minutes later. There is zero reason to be playing Daka over him.

I am sorry but daka is not a premiership striker he is never in a position to get a pass he’s never balanced when he receives the ball , for me he is a failure and boy haven’t we had some of them 

[Raj]

If the goal was triple the size he would have had a hat trick!

Joke of a comment. He was literally in the right position every time yesterday. If you want to pick on him, the finishing was awful but to pick after yesterday to slate him not being in the positions just highlights your lack of knowledge unfortunately.

Wow you really do hate him don’t you..? Were you one of those booing Kelechi off the Bench a few years back? 
 

I didn’t say he’s playing well, I just find it surprising he’s being written off so quickly when this is the first time he’s had some proper minutes … if he doesn’t come good, fair enough, but I’ve seen it plenty of times in the past, that with a goal and a bit of confidence, they find their groove 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Nacho really needs to start ahead of him now or play him in a 2 upfront.

 

With Tete and the new LB he should get a lot more opportunities especially as Maddison can play in the middle.

[jonathan_ross]

I constantly scratch my head with wonder what the whole debate it over, all this goes to show how poor the Austrian Bundesliga is. Someone said it best last week here when they said he constantly looks like he’s playing with a balloon at his feet.

 

Someone please sort a long term loan deal out for the sake of both parties.

You say the Austrian bundesliga is poor Erling Haaland played there and he isn't doing to bad, perhaps after he left to play in Germany he was coached better at Dortmund  than we have here at Leicester.

Let me guess you back every player staying indefinitely incase they "do a Vardy". 

[UHDrive]

In terms of positioning that's the best I've seen him play and when factoring in the new right winger he now has the chance to move forward and take his chance.

 

I would only give him until summer to make that step up that's required because I don't think by that point that all the coaching in the world would make him better.

 

Daka also seems to rely too much on his confidence which is a negative for me.

A new manager? I suppose it’s how long in the future that will be…

😂😂 no I just give them a bit of a chance… not quite sure what writing them off this early does… 

 

I can’t believe though I’m being criticised for wanting a player to come good 🤣🤣 

 

God help Tete if he doesn’t hit the ground running

For the record I want him to come good, absolutely. 

 

But we're in a relegation battle. We can't be playing lads in the hope they come good.

Haaland is definitely warping people’s opinions on the Austrian league. It’s like saying the National League is a good level because Vardy came through there or the Swedish league is a good level because Ibrahimovic came from there.

 

Ive posted it a couple of times before, but if you go through the golden boot winners in the Austrian league over the past 10-15 years you’ll see that they all get taken a chance on by a PL, La Liga, Bundesliga or Serie A side and they consistently all flop, a couple even dropped down to the Italian and Spanish 2nd tiers and still couldn’t get more than 4 or 5 goals a season in their 2nd tiers.

 

The reality is that players coming from the Austrian league have consistently shown themselves to be a significantly lower level than even players coming from 2nd tier European leagues like Portugal, the Netherlands or Belgium.

 

Of course Haaland is an exception to that, but freak generational talents happen from time to time and it seems to seriously have warped people’s view of the league.

 

Regardless of anything else about Daka, I just think the argument that “he’s scored goals in Austria, so he’s got something” is such a silly one, because outside of Haaland, prolific scorers in Austria have consistently shown to be way out of their depth when they’ve gone up to the level of a team in the major 4 European leagues.

I get that, and so I agree that Kelechi has to start more games… god knows why he doesn’t when he usually impacts the game. 
I just find all the slander Daka is getting a bit unfair when he doesn’t get loads of starts or service. 

[mod hero]

Rodgers comments were interesting after the game on RL, Owynn PA asked him if he would consider playing Nacho up top in the premier league and he said he’d been thinking about it and would do so when a right sided attacker comes in.

 

Expect he will start against Villa especially with Vards being out.

 

We shouldn’t write Daka off as Leicester fans but he is in really poor form. His main strength was his finishing but that has deserted him recently. His all round game especially outside the box is questionable and has been since he signed.
