Vestergaard

[Collymore]

It's took me ages to work out his strength but I feel it's some how getting his telescopic legs though to the ball when challenging at ground level.

 

He went up against some units against Rotherham where I expected him to be fail but he some how bludgened himself through people getting the ball.

The 17 mill & 75 k are Leicesters fault !! You can't blame him for us throwing the cash around.

No player says "no no, I'm not worth that "

PS.  That wasn't his first decent game !!

Yet another solid performance from our most consistent centre half of the season.

 

Anyone blaming him for the goal have literally never played centre half/football before. He forces his man who is the main danger under the ball so he can't score, it's Doyle who was completely flat footed and switched off to allow his man to get on the inside of him and then beat him in the air despite having a decent height advantage.

 

Again he was tidy on the ball, won more headers than usual today even clearing a few set plays which we had looked vulnerable in with these sort of sides. 

 

People who still are moaning about his level of performance are people who watched how bloody useless he was 2 years ago and are unable to change their mind, despite what's in front of their eyes. Against most centre forwards at this level he will be more than good enough, and not sure it's a given that Coady walks in personally.

He had a very good game on his debut V Man City, but you have clearly chosen to ignore than one.

[Fox92]

Another good performance. Both Vestergaard and Faes have been solid this season.

[richard123]

Vestergaard is a decent player at this level. Like many, good in the championship, not so good in the prem. I think he also suits Enzo's style. 

 

[whoareyaaa]

he done fine today, the one thing he does have is leadership qualities.

Actually, that is unfair.  I thought he was bloody useless when he played for Southampton and haven't changed my mind.

I think some people are not taking into account the relegation clause wage restructuring. No way he’s on 75k a week and Ndidi 80k it’s way off the mark. All clubs have a substantial wage reduction clause for whatever league they are relegated from. If a player and/ or his agent doesn’t agree to this then it shows a lack of belief in their own ability.

Even if there has been wage restructuring, most of our players are still on massive wages (for the Championship). I've absolutely no doubt that this squad, as it stands, is the highest earning squad ever seen in the English second tier, and by a comfortable margin too.

[Finn Claw II]

I think Relegation wage clauses were 30%-40%.  It’ll be interesting to see if he is offered a contract at the end of the season.   
 

as soon as Coady is fit, Vesty will be back out the side so will be cover and that’s the best he can hope for no matter what division we are in next season. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Another weekend closer to Coady being back.

[BenTheFox]

I thought he played alright. We've managed to get some use put of a player that we all thought had no future here. That's got to be a positive, right?

[Rossiter]

I've seen him play well for Denmark. He did say that he wasn't as fit as he would've like when he came to us. Hopefully he's had a good pre season and we will see him playing better.

He is doing everything asked of him and wasn't at fault for the goal. I'm not convinced there is much of a ceiling beyond this but he has been a rock at the centre of Enzo's build. When we bought Coady, i never thought i would be writing anything like that. He deserves respect for how he has conducted himself this season.

 

He's not the long term solution, but i don't understand why anyone is having a go at him right now.

As it seems you were a centre half you will know that art of having play from wide allows you to get the forward.under the ball but the better centre halves judge when to take 2 steps back to meet thd flight. Doyle now has no time to react.

I used my eyes in the other league games this season in which he was poor at best, so no idea what you’re talking about there.

 

He was decent against Rotherham, so credit where it’s due, but apologies if that’s not enough to win me over following an absolutely dire previous two years.

 

He wasn’t at fault for the goal today, either, you are right there.

[JayT - Always A Fox!]

Coady comes straight back in. He’ll be the main man and captain. Enzo built the team around Coady, Winks and Ricardo.

But, its nice to know that there is no need to rush Coady, and if there are any after effects of his Injury we won't be pushing him into lots of games too soon. Furthermore, there is going to be an injury to either Coady or Faes at some point. 

[Jobyfox]

When we have a decent run of games with a player in the team who isn’t very good there is a danger in thinking he’s better than we thought. It happened with Amartey last season. 
 

He’s got a long way to go before I start thinking he’s decent but, while he’s in the team and not costing us points, I’m happy to give him some leeway. This isn’t the time to criticise him especially after maybe his best performance ever for us.

 

At some point I still strongly suspect we’ll need better and I hope Coady is the man. What’s for definite is that Jannik’s ceiling isn’t that high so if we do progress in the right way his time will ultimately be limited

 Completely agree it’s not his fault I never said that. Doesn’t mean I have to rate him as a footballer tho, was just explaining why some are ‘triggered’ by him. 
 

I’m sure Danny Ward would have a few decent games in the championship

His first job once it sees the ball being delivered from wide is to get tight to the centre forward, which he does. Even if during the flight he dropped back and jumped it is questionable whether he would have got there, which if he had done and missed would have caused even more confusion.

 

Doyle has a clear view of the flight of the ball, his body shape is all wrong, if he opens up his shoulders he can see both the runner and the ball coming in and deal with it effectively, which considering he is a centre half himself he really should be doing. For reference for all his attacking limitations how often did you see Danny Simpson get beat at the back post, hardly ever because his positioning tucked inside close to his centre halves was very good.
