City and probably Spurs. Lost at home to us, West Ham, Fulham and Everton so very similar trend of results. No draws as of yet so they're the new win or bust team after our maiden one on Thursday.

They've got a top keeper, some excellent defenders and midfielders but so have we nowadays. Just have to hope Ollie can eventually morph into a Vardy type and if not we get in another striker. Tough ask as Vardy in last 5 years has simply become one of the best one on one finishers in world football, you never think he'll miss a one on one unlike many forwards.

Agreed, Vardy is an excellent striker. Consistently deadly in front of the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's learning with every game and will most likely only improve at this rate. I wish he was found a bit more and a little more selfish at times, but I'm happy with him so far. If he'll become a Vardy type, I suppose time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are miles behind them in squad strenght and also player recruitment although this summer we probably closed the gap a little. They are also ahead of us in some off the pitch areas such as owning the club in Belgium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the top flight we have not had a 20 goal a season striker since Peter Withe in 1981, I think Vardy has done it three times for Leicester and hes well on his way to a 4th.

They are also ahead of us in some off the pitch areas such as owning the club in Belgium. Their results always dip when Vardy is out as we saw when we played them. Ayoze Perez and Kelechi may have cost nearly 50m between them but neither can give them anything like Vardy does. Mad to think Slimani is still there, he was 20m odd aswell IIRC. They're very good at finding defenders and midfielders there and not all of them cost stupid amounts either, Evans at just 3m. We're getting better at that finally. Certainly likes of Martinez and Barkley standard is what we need to be signing in next 4-5 windows. Another 3-4 of that standard and keep our best players and that's what you need to do to be a serious top 6 challenger these days. Leicester have still sold a Maguire for big money when they've felt it's the right time to cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
