Off the top of my head, I've only seen one player for us who has won the game on his own; Emile Heskey..

 

There was a game against a very good Chelsea side at home, maybe second season into the MON years and Chelsea simply couldn't cope. I think Emile got both goals. Frank Lebeouf resorted to kicking and fouling him and even then he came off worse. Heskey that day played like Mbappe. He was unplayable. 

What would a 20 year old Heskey be worth in today's market? 

 

Back to back double figure goal tallies for a teenager in the Premier League.

 

You'd be looking at 70-80 odd million surely.

Kante in every game of the title winning season.

 

Only half joking!

 

Some great ones in this thread already, but one that very weirdly game to my head was Mark Davies against Yeovil away. I'm sure it was on TV and hilarious just how far above that level he was.

This. Can remember week in week out sitting there laughing to myself about how on earth we had the best midfielder in world football.

Literally any time Ngolo walked on a pitch.

 

More obscure, I wanna say Mark Davies v Yeovil (but it may have been another team ) he looked like he'd go and be an international player. He was clearly well below his level in his short time with us.

Was devastated when he didn’t sign

He had 1 in 10 games where he was Mbappe level. Usually against sol Campbell at Spurs or Southgate at Villa. In the other 9 he'd mix up being very good or totally anonymous. A little like Barnes if he didn't get a break early on his head went down. 

 

Massively underrated for us. At the time he was such a quiet timid lad I wonder if he knew how good he was. Funny, as now he's in his 40s he's a really good pundit and advocate for us...not the quiet lad of old

I dont know why but I also remember a 17 year old Emile coming against Norwich and changing a game. I think we were 2-0 down. David Nish was caretaker just before O'neil took over. Heskey came on and we won 3-2 (Emile scored and I think it was the winner). 

 

Great comeback.

As much as people talk about Vardy, Kante and Mahrez during our title winning season, the best ever peak of a player I’ve ever seen was Vardy during that first year or so under Rodgers between Feb 2019-the March 2020 lockdown.

 

He was 3rd top scorer in Europe only behind Messi and Lewandowski during that year or so and I think we actually bettered our points per game from the title winning season during that period.


He got 30 goals in 34 league games I believe in that time 
 

Felt like Vardy was unstoppable and would score virtually every game during that period.

Vardy in the 5-3 comeback against Man Utd. Involved in every goal.
1 goal, 2 assists and won the 2 penalties. 

If he was juiced for any game he played for us it was that one. He was an animal that day
