Based on the pre season form of Nacho and Maddison, it’s the lack of Maguire I’m more concerned about than Vardy.

yep the guy who is Garunteed to score 20 plus goals a season is not a concern and will be the difference between relegation or competing for a top six place great quote.

I can “garuntee” that’s not what I said.

Well he’s had 4 PL seasons and reached 20 twice so hardly guaranteed is it, also its pretty clear the comment was about who will replace them

the quote was he was more concerned about not having Maguire than having Vardy present at the moment, strikers who consistently score goals keep teams in this league even when they have a Shakey defence.

Nacho is playing well and I hope he goes on to score 20 plus this season, Vardy however does a hell of a lot more and scores goals, the prospect of him establishing good link up play with Maddison is exciting it will tear defences apart.
I am more concerned about Vardy being injured as he is and will be the difference between a good season or a bad one imo.

I didn’t realise I was talking about the season in it’s entirety. It was more about the first game or two. Answer me this - against Man United away from home, would you rather Maguire and Iheanacho, or Benalouane and Vardy?

I’d like you to take into account the pre season form of Benalouane and Iheanacho.

Apologies I have misread your post for the Man Utd I would undoubtedly prefer Maguire, Morgan is just as much a liability as Benny if Maguire is fit he starts for me.
 
IMO I'm not too fussed about Vardy. Nacho has had a great pre season and ultimately given Vardy's age we need to start planning for a future without him anyway so he should probably start playing a lesser part as he gets older... infact, in the circumstances, even if Vardy was available (and I'm not sure why he isn't - he's practically had a break while on WC duty anyway!) I think our defence is the bigger cause for concern, as it has been since we won the title pretty much. At least we have made an attempt to rectify the situation by bringing in Pereira and Evans. Evans' injury is unfortunate and leaves us with a problem. I'd just chuck Darnell Johnson in at the deep end rather than play Benalouane who I'd rather just wasn't at the club......
 
Benalouane wasn't bad yesterday. Morgan looked far more shakey and less assured. Mind you, the opposition was a little....well....it was a bit shit really.

I'd be doing everything possible to get Maguire and Evans ready but if this isn't possible I think I'd play Benny and Johnson. Of course, that ain't gonna happen.
 
We don't need Vardy really. He never scores against the big teams.

He’s super important for us, he really is. As soon as he’s back in the team the better.

But if we have to see either Morgan or Benalouane line up at Old Trafford (we’ll probably see both), my eyes will bleed.

Maguire needs to come back pronto.

Utter madness of the Lord Melchiy variety.
