#4 Vardy's absence felt

Image result for jamie vardy — Jamie Vardy was suspended for the game.

Though Leicester looked lively in the second half and created many more chances than they did in the first, without their talisman, they seemed slightly weak in the attacking front. The Foxes are known for their long outfield ball to Vardy who runs in behind the defense to make something out of nothing, however that outfield ball was out of the play with Jamie Vardy's absence.

However, Claudio Puel must be impressed with his side's second-half performance. They were a constant threat throughout the half and caused Liverpool defense lot of troubles inducing a mistake from their Goal Keeper Alisson.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
