I know how city play thats how I knew that would happen. They dont need to completely change how they play to deal with stopping Vardy from scoring that type of goal. Its easily avoidable.
Send them your CV mate, if Pep's rumoured break clause materialises you could show the world where he was going wrong.

Vardy would walk into the England team right now. Probably retired thinking he would be overtaken by younger players but this season he is the best English forward and his big game record is exceptional.

Not really, the vast majority of games England play is trying to break through teams who defend very deep.
Kane is much more useful, Vardy's main threat is rendered virtually useless.

That's not true. Leicester average more possesion than us for starters.

So you'd rather have Vardy over Kane when trying to break down stubborn deep defences?
Cool.

Clearly Vardy is having no problem breaking down stubborn defences. 17 goals in 18 games, six clear of anyone else.

As for Kane...

"Vardy would walk into the England team right now."

That doesn't mean I'd drop Kane. It means acknowledging that there is someone who has been much better this season.

So where would you play Vardy?

Completely agree. Vardy can only play one style of football and that is quick counter play where he is up against one or two defenders over the top. He is lost at international level as he doesn't have the adaptability or mentality for that level, one of the reasons he retired rather than backing himself and giving it ago.

Not knocking him as a player. But i find it laughable how when he goes on a goal scoring run like this, people start acting like he is world class. He isn't, he can play one system and plays that well. That is it.

Watford getting a point today would be a miracle, not sure if I even want to watch that one.
