I want more from you! - Shakespeare says to Vardy
Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has scored six goals in his last seven Premier League games but manager Craig Shakespeare wants more from the England international.
Vardy, whose 24 league goals were crucial to Leicester's title triumph last season, had scored just five in the league this season before Shakespeare took over as manager in February.Leicester are 15th in the league and sit just six points above the relegation zone with a trip to Arsenal due later on Wednesday.
"At the moment, he's banging in the goals and we need that to continue from now to the end of the season,"
"I'm reluctant to say he's back to his best, as I want more from him, but his goal scoring of late has been very good, confidence and full of running, we need a Jamie Vardy threatening defenders, getting on the shoulders and being a goal threat as well."
Shakespeare said the mental toughness of players like Vardy has been instrumental in helping Leicester climb to within touching distance of safety.
"I think all players will go through peaks and troughs, they have that and they have to stay mentally tougher which Jamie did," he added.
"It's about rolling your sleeves up and making sure you turn those indifferent performances into good performances and you see the Vardy that we're seeing out here at the moment, playing full of confidence but a goal threat as well."
