Leicester City 1-1 Manchester United
That’s what makes the draw with Leicester City so frustrating because Vardy’s goal on the counter-attack was avoidable with better defending, but it’s still a point away to one of the Premier League’s in-form teams, so it could be worse.
Leicester’s Jamie Vardy celebrates his record-breaking goal with Christian Fuchs in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
“I think it’s common knowledge now that I’m getting an injury every week”, said Vardy. “I think when you want to be the champions at the end of the season then you have to win these kind of games and we didn’t do that so I’m disappointed”.
Feyenoord’s legendary former midfielder and manager Willem van Hanegem has heaped criticism on Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, claiming his team’s style of play is enough to bring him to tears, as per AD (via Football Oranje).
“I’m delighted but the main thing was the performance”.
But Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has always been adamant that Vardy is going nowhere, and the forward told Sky Sports News HQ that he is in no hurry to move.
Jamie Vardy’s record scoring run will encourage Premier League clubs to scour for further hidden gems, according to fellow non-League graduate Chris Smalling. “I have the feeling we could have won this match”.
At the start of the season, not many would’ve fancied him or Leicester to be in some seriously hot form, but we’re nearly into December and neither seem to be losing pace.
Scoring in his 11th consecutive Premier League match at the weekend, Vardy has continued to win plenty of plaudits and is now said to have attracted the attention of screenwriter, Adrian Butchart. “You’re number one now and you deserved it. #11inarow”. Instead of spending millions and millions on players that still might not do it you can take the risk on a non-league player and they can progress well.
“If you can find some sort of hidden gems in the local sides or non league sides, it’s a no brainer to give those guys a chance”. In the third or fourth phase we have to create more, but it is hard because you have seen where Leicester City stand on the pitch – it was in the 60 metre area.
