Also the West Brom goal whilst sprinting with ball half the pitch he takes a touch near the end to get him away from the defender and open up and angle and slots the ball in the side netting.

I'm not having a pop at him or calling him shite (as far as I know I don't think I've ever done tbf) but that touch against West Brom knocking it to the side looks very unintentional to me, but recovered it with a great finish.

I can't have that at all.

Every one of those touches went where Vardy wanted the ball to go. IMO he took the touch to steer it away from the defender and create an angle to beat the keeper. It's easily to mess up when you've had so much time to think but that goal was top quality for me.

Not denying that it's a quality goal, the touch looks poor though.

A few own goals on here like.

It's evidence that the vast majority of fans know very little about the game. Yes we can all watch Messi, Ronaldo, etc and see they're fantastic players but most are judged on perception. I think the majority of you look at a player like Vardy and judge him on being released at 16 by Sheff Wed and then spending his mid 20's in the non league before not setting the world on fire in his time at Leicester up to this season.

I've watched 11 Leicester PL games this season and I see a player whose work rate and pace is world class. His touch and movement has improved beyond all recognition since he came to Leicester. The Watford penalty incident and you'll see him take a fantastic touch as the ball comes over his head whilst sprinting.

The majority of goals he's scored this season have been finishes in the side netting. I look at him and think there is enough evidence to suggest that he's the best striker in the PL apart from Aguerro. I might be wrong but the evidence is beginning to mount up that he's top quality and not a flash in the pan the ignorant will tell you without analysing what he does as a footballer.
