Match Thread Leicester v Chelsea

[Miles Away]

I like him, but he's on the form of his life for us so far recently.

He's always been able to show his quality, but now he's doing it consistently.

Rodgers has done something very very right with Barnes and Maddison over the last 6 months or so to make them both turn their threat into real attacking returns (goals and assists)

No coincidence their form has coincided with big Wilf coming back into the side.

 

[Graz]

That's ridiculous as a free kick for Thiago Silva! Every header in the game has that

 

[glyn]

What a ridiculous decision that was against Vardy for the “foul” on silva

I just don’t think he was fully fit until around December time either, given the minutes he was getting

He’s exceptional. Is he actually eclipsing N’Golo now? He is more rounded.
But, like the Perez/Okazaki conversation, Kante has god status so comparisons are perhaps folly

 

[Graz]

Is it fair to say (quietly) that Vardy isn't actually having a very good game again today?

We're attacking very well and look good - but Vardy has been involved very little in that

 

[Lako42]

Lovely ball from Evans

He's been terrible quite frankly.

What s run by fofana... I could hear the bunny hill music

 

[homer]

Vardy looks dog bob again

 

[Lako42]

The annoying thing is that we should have 4 at least.

Really hope we don't regret it.

We need at least 1 more to do ourselves justice.

 

[Miles Away]

Much as I love him I think I'd consider pulling Vards for Perez. He looks unfit to me and he definitely needs a rest this weekend.

 

[parafox]

Has fofana thought about transitioning to midfield?

 

[Graz]

I'd give it another 5/10 mins but agree

The way we're playing would actually suit Perez too

I think Vardy has a 'fear factor' for defences that is still important though

 

[popillius]

When you are under pressure, playing the ball out short and dicking around with it is a but of a daft idea.

 

[Lako42]

A bit of sloppyness creeping in on our part.

 

[sparky79]

Its raining

 

[popillius]

A bit of sloppyness creeping in on our part.

Yeah. Schmeichel not being able to kick the ball in the air isn't helping.

 

[Graz]

You can hear the rain even over the fake crowd noise. Hammering it down

Don't bring Ricardo onto a soggy rain soaked pitch

If Wilf gets close enough to a player to win the ball then he does just that. He is awesome.
