What a player Vardy is. I can't understand why there's so few strikers in English football who just run in behind like him. He's such a good finisher as well. Good to see Bo playing regularly now.
Because there are no English strikers with any good pace other than him. Before you say it, Walcott is not a striker...
I think Walcott is a decent example of o be honest. I was talking about PL and Championship on the whole though. Not just English players.
Whether it’s a one off with Vardy or not, I have to admit he’s placed my words on a plate and scored (even) more goals whilst I’ve been busy eating them. Racism aside, he seems to be special type of dim though – even for a footballer. I don’t think I’ve seen so many clichés delivered at once before with such a distinct lack of emotion – good stuff. Well played Leicester though.
I like my post on page 2. "Vardy should be nowhere near an England squad, that he is is a damning indictment of the state of our game. Well done to him, a testament of effort over ability. If Huddlestone, Livermore, Curtis Davies had half his application we wouldnt be in the ****" Spot on I would say.
Sad truth is, if Huddlestone, Livermore, Curtis Davies, et al, showed the same level of application as Vardy they would be playing for bigger teams than us and earning a lot more money.
Leicester appear to have scored 5 penalties this season, 3 by Vardy and 2 by Mahrez. Vardy seems to take them when he is the one who is fouled and Mahrez if it's someone else who is fouled (Mahrez/Drinkwater). I hope all 5 pens were legit as Vardy did seem to go down easily in the Championship the year they went up (and were awarded 16 penalties). They do say true pace is what scares defenders more than anything else. You have to have something about you to score in 10 consecutive premier league games.
I like that, looks like I was one of the few who was fine with Vardy getting in the squad. I wonder if EPT still feels the same as he did then?
Really, he needs to be played in the middle with players like Walcott, Lallana and Chamberlain out wide. Problem is, Woy will be afraid to have him leading the line and will just shove him out wide like he has been in the couple of England appearances he has had. My ideal XI (with a fully fit team): Hart Clyne Stones Jagielka Shaw Milner Wilshere Chamberlain Barkley Walcott Vardy
Mahrez is our first choice penalty taker. Vardy is second. So Vardy takes them when Mahrez is off the pitch, which was the case for his penalty against Bournemouth. The only exception was the one against Watford when Mahrez handed it to Vardy to keep the scoring run going. And yes, they are all legit
It's good, but I'd still have Rooney in behind Vardy instead of Milner/Wilshire! Wilshire will be gone soon anyway, his injuries are too much & by the time he hits mid 20's he'll be a has been if he's still playing! IMO!
When he's fit, Wilshere (with an E, not an I) is arguably our most gifted player alongside Barkley. Big no no on Rooney. He seems to have an affect on England the same way Huddlestone does on us. He might have good ability, but putting him in the team seems to make the team play differently.
Spurs are currently giving West Ham a good going over, 3-0 five minutes into the second half. I really dislike Noble.
He's just a water carrier. I find it strange that people moan about superior passers like Shelvey getting in the England squad and suggest him instead.
