I'm a big fan of Slimani but I judge him on his strengths and attributes while understanding he's being asked to play a role that doesn't suit him because he's also the type of striker who plays on the last defender and he relies on early balls in to the box. We're asking him to do all the donkey work that Okazaki does and criticising him because he's not good at it. He's a no.9 being asked to play like a no.10 and people need to understand that.
No he's not got the best first touch but anyone who plays will know that a poor first touch and indecision on the ball are often down to lack of confidence and sharpness and he's not going to be all that confident and definitely not sharp.
Fact is without his goals we would have been bottom of the league before CR was sacked and if you do the maths that's what you'll discover.
He's a quality goal scorer and gives us an aerial threat and is the best header of a ball in the league in my opinion with nobody coming close.
He needs a proper preseason, some more quality around him and time to develop a partnership with Vardy, injury free because we've by no means seen the best of him yet.
