IF IF IF they win.
I believe they will but this season.....we never know from game to game.
I think even the most ardent Leicester supporter knows that putting 5 past Spurs is not going to happen. Maybe when Vardy was in his prime ?
Sadly (imo) Jamie Vardy, who is destined to be a Leicester legend is now 'past it'. It is not just that the goals have 'dried up' watching him over the last few months has been painful ? His 'touch' has deserted him. His 'extra' pace has gone, he cannot run past defenders now and consequently plays closer to the last defender and starts his runs earlier to gain any advantage. I read where Werner of Chelsea (who also relies on pace) has been caught offside 41 times (the most) and Jamie Vardy one back at 40 offsides.
I do not understand how Vardy can start against Chelsea the other night while Iheanacho was on the bench. Iheanacho has scored 16 times
in 2021 while Vardy has scored 2. Iheanacho comes on as a sub and scores !
I have a lot of time for Brendon Rogers but he has flaws (imo) he is the type of manager who hugs his players a lot and constantly praises them.
No bad thing maybe but I fear he struggles with the difficult decisions. Starting Jamie Vardy on the bench is one such decision. The beginning of the end for Claude Poel at Leicester was not playing Vardy. He, Vardy is a 'big' personality in the Leicester dressing room and the manager(s) need him 'onside' This again (imo) is the reason Leicester have not recruited another striker during the last couple of years. Only in 2021 has Iheanacho 'come good' If Leicester bought another 'pricey' striker they couldn't leave him on the bench all the time and Vardy would have to share 'bench time' One of those 'difficult decisions' for Brendon Rodgers.
Don't get me wrong, I think Rodgers and Leicester are doing a great job, but we can always improve . . . yes ?
