I'm not sure if Vardy is Football Manager Tactics perfect for us but, fuck, there are so few teams on earth he wouldn't improve. At the very least, look how well he's adapted to different football styles and systems, most of which he's adapted to at the top of the game after his 30th birthday. It's remarkable.

It's become a pattern, and it's something Smith must take responsibility for and sort out.Yet another "inconsistent" ref, the same one who denied us a stonewall pen at Arsenal.Is it those things, or is it simply our substitutes aren't as good as theirs?

It's remarkable.Certainly true when he is in the kind of form he has been so far this season. I still think we need more of a target man type at the moment though and Wesley just isn't that at the moment. Would be interested to see Wesley perhaps partnered with that type of striker and see how he got on.
We need to ensure performances like this against the weaker sides in the division.If I have a slight criticism, it would be that we have probably been slightly under par (compared to the Liverpool & Arsenal performances) too often. Brighton, Palace and West Ham spring to mind with possibly Burnley and Bournemouth as well.Play as well as that on Sunday and we'll beat Wolves.
