#4 Jamie Vardy cuts an isolated figure in a drab Leicester performance
Trending
With United increasing their dominance as the game progressed, what became a familiar sight on the pitch was striker Jamie Vardy cutting a frustrated and isolated figure in United’s half. Desperate to get on the scoresheet after a long drought, the reigning Football Writers’ Player of the Season was forced to sit deep and try winning the ball from his opponents so that he could open up a goal-scoring chance.
Once the hosts went three down, the body language of the players plunged – which slowly but surely decreased Vardy’s involvement in the game as a striker at least. The players looked lost, frazzled and horribly short of confidence, a saddening contrast to last season, where teams would fear Vardy’s pace on the counter-attack - which was the source of a fair share of their goals which helped them clinch a title.
With relegation unbelievably looming large, the manager and coaching staff face an uphill task of instilling some motivation into this group of players, who, at the moment look a defeated bunch.
