Strikers

Vardy: 5/10

Due to poor service, Vardy had an anonymous game.

Coming off at half time, he hadn’t made the mark he would have looked for.

As his role has changed this season, it’s clear to see that Vardy is still looking to get to grips with playing alongside Slimani.

Usually his pressuring of defences is backed up with Okazaki however alongside Slimani it’s a one man job.

With very little exposure in-front of goal, it’s no wonder he was getting frustrated.

He’ll hope his fortune turns against Porto on Wednesday.

Slimani: 6/10

Club record signing Islam Slimani’s link-up play with the midfield was great.

The towering figure held off pressure from Manchester United allowing the midfield and wingers to push up.

One criticism however is how slow he releases the ball when Vardy is in-behind the defence.

As Slimani is new to the side, it’ll take time for the Algerian to instinctively look for Vardy.
