He is miles better than Musa though. Barnes is stinking the place out week after week and gets considerably less stick, he has been worse than Daka for months. Aside from Maddison and Faes I don’t think you can argue anyone is having a decent season for us.
 

What does Vardy offer over Daka or Nacho these days? Sadly, not a lot. 

I agree than Barnes has been terrible for a long time, and Vardy is in a sad decline. None of the 3 should be getting on the pitch. 

 

But people seem to have this idea that Daka is going to suddenly turn into a goal machine as soon as we start playing well. No chance. He's a good finisher on the few occasions he gets into a goal scoring position but in all other aspects of being a striker he's English lower league standard.

I think Mendy is up there with the thickest player along with Thomas, Amartey and Barnes. 

I’m not sure where you’ve come up with that. The guy get's into space and is excellent at retaining possession. I think you’ve made a snap judgement.

People seem to weirdly make every defence in the book for Daka, because they don't want to admit he's just a bit crap and a waste of money. It seems like any por performances he has are everyone else's fault but his. How is it a funny stick to beat him with? Shouldn't he take responsibility for his own countless poor performances too?

If it was just him turning in countless poor performances then probably, yeah. Given it's not just all our strikers but pretty much all our players doing so then it's not hard to see why people are beginning to cut him a bit of slack and it's difficult to make a definitive judgement on him when he's playing in such a dysfunctional team, which is different from saying he's "great"

It works both ways though - creative players need strikers to create space and get themselves into good positions. A good striker still creates space and chances for himself though, which Daka just doesn't. Last season for example, it was so much clearer and we scored statistically so many more goals and got more points with Vardy in the side rather than Daka, because Vardy could create chances for himself before his pace went this season.

Simply he’s about as poor as any other player in our squad at the moment bar Maddison, it’s not about defending him it’s about looking at the bigger picture that something is very wrong with the set up of this team at the moment and the way they are managed. To judge any player under this manager just isn’t right. The system and style of play just does not suit this team and the players we have.

Daka does position and move well though. He was the only one doing it this entire game until Nacho came on. His finishing is definitely worthy of criticism, but he makes stuff happen. 

You were just arguing that Daka can't be blamed for lack of service! Now you're saying Daka had service and got into good positions but can't finish! You're creating contradictions and arguing yourself in circles to try and defend him,

 

He doesn't make stuff happen! He's had chances today against a League Two side and fluffed the lot of them. 

 

He's scored 3 goals all season, but he's making stuff happen? 

 

How is he making stuff happen but getting no service? Can't you see that's a complete contradiction and pretty half-hearted buzzphrases to try and defend him.
