Wibble

I do find it truly stunning how people forget

Does Vardy need an op?

I think he's playing within himself. He's clearly feeling that sore hip/groin and his record of three goals (one of these a pen) in his last ten PL games isn't great. He's had plenty of chances, but he's not quite delivering his usual exceptional standard of finishing.

He missed more chances in this game as he has in any PL match he's ever played in. Is it just a blip or is he playing when he shouldn't be but he/BR feel he has to? He's not training much.

To me, he's playing like a Vardy imitator at the moment. He looks like him, and he does most of the things he does, but the edge isn't there.

Mega wibble.

Truly stunning.

Shinji is too easily forgotten for how crucial he was that season.

Also the only real strike partner we've ever found that works with Vardy!

He's a joyless, witless, petty little ****.

I tend to agree. But it's understandable.

Has probably never quite got over watching Beckham ascend to the status of immortal demigod despite playing right next to him for all those years & being twice the player.

That'd give me a long lasting case of the right hump too.

On the other hand he's a ginger shortarse so what did he expect?

You need to be realistic in this world. We all know the rules. Agree with them or not, they're still the rules.

Nugent?

LW's performance yesterday reminded me a little of how Cags started with city. He was a little rash and being taken off will probably do him the world of good. It will remind him that he's an integral part of a defence and that if he gets a little carried away we can replace him.
I've no doubt he's probably one of the most talented young defenders in the world but need to learn when to play and when not to.

That's pretty much every central defender who ever played the game. It's that sort of position. So much of it is about timing, positioning & working as part of a unit. Takes time to adapt.

Steve Walsh & Gerry Taggart were both ****ing awful in their first half dozen games for us.

On the other hand, Julian Watts was a model of calmness, good timing and positioning in that run at the end of the 95-96 season. After that, not so much.

So is the ‘Little Wes/LW’ thing here to stay?

Find it mildly nauseating personally.

I thought he was referring to Luke Wanker who, in my opinion, wasn’t his usual energetic self yesterday and deserved to be pulled off.

Judging by his name he might’ve done it himself

He can be a bit one paced but usually finishes strongly.

 

[Graz]

He can be a bit one paced but usually finishes strongly.

Probably because he usually is just brought on for stoppage time - he can only manage a few minutes. Terrible stamina.

 

[jb5000]

Looks like he should be good stuck up in the box, but rarely gets the opportunity

Nugent?

Vardy has said a few times that Nuge was his favourite strike partner.

Nuge is a modern great. What followed him overshadowed what he did for us but make no mistake, he deserves to be a club legend.

Perez is miles more effective than Okasaki ever was

That's a joke, right? It must be a joke.
Or you're Perez's wife or brother or something.

No one is denying Shinji was a crucial part of our title winning campaign. However, Perez is a far more effective player as the statistics show.

Ayoze Perez
43 Premier League games, 9 goals at 1 in 4.77 matches, and 5 assists at 1 in 8.6

Shinji Okazaki
114 Premier League games, 14 goals at 1 in 8.14 matches, and 4 assists at 1 in 28.5
