Post Match Aston Villa 2:1 Leicester City

[Graz]

Don't want to be a bitter fan.

Fair play to Villa. Their keeper was MOTM tonight and their game plan worked well over both legs. I think they deserve credit.

But it could've been so, so different had we taken just some of our chances!

 

[big_mac4824]

none of our wingers close the ball down in fact they are really there are not there to do it for 90 % of any game.

 

[TommyK]

Possibly Gray should have closed him down. But that ball has come along way. What are Richardo and Soy doing? Could the keeper came and got it?

 

[Micky]

I’m really angry about that. We look fragile. For all the possession and shots, and can’t remember a really good goalscoring chance after their opener other than the equaliser.

It was a cowardly performance. We shrank as soon as we conceded. We shrink when we play either bigger clubs, or sides who have a bit of a go. That Newcastle and West Ham fit neither criterion is why they’re the sides we’ve beaten since Christmas.

We have a big game mentality problem. Have we won one this season?

Probably not but enjoy the champions league next season.

 

[TommyK]

Barnes and Perez were shit again tonight.

 

[Brown Nose]

Oh man. That's Leicester City for you.

Not the time to lay into the players, performance or anything else. They'll all be gutted beyond belief.

We were the better side in both games but failed to win either. They took their few chances, we wasted our many chances.

Could still be the second best season in our history. Need to regroup and learn from this.

 

[H T B]

Another keeper MotM and we lose.
Oh well, forget it and focus on Chelsea on Saturday

 

[Jenks]

We put out our best side and we can't beat a shit show like Villa. I give fair praise where it's due but they are near relegation for **** sake! Utter, utter ****ing shite.

 

[Rock Fox]

Too many wayward passes.

No - we had good shots on target but unfortunately, too many fantastic saves from their goalie

 

[fitz]

Gray was obviously told to cover Grealish more on the right - we were too scared of him getting the ball rather than someone else putting the cross in.

Very similar problem to the first goal where the only player we wanted to pay attention to was Grealish.

 

[glyn]

I’m gutted. Some players didn’t perform. We missed chances should have had a pen etc.

But the whole semi-final was symptomatic of the performance of a young team, not stepping up for the occasion. If we finish top four, or get to the latter stages of the FA Cup, we’ll need to find some bottle and intelligence.

 

[TommyK]

Grealish is an annoying twat.

 

[Lako42]

We can't play the game of football when teams press us, we are too soft.

Any manager who isn't a completely useless **** can work us out.

A turgid, desperate team like Villa have just done us over two legs and we didn't look like we could deal with it.

We went 1-1 but instead of enforcing ourselves on the game like most teams would we just went straight back to playing like little girls.

I worry for us a bit now as we seem way too fragile

Excellent stuff.

 

[Feriol]

We lost every physical challenge, were incapable of getting the ball into their box, too many long shots. No sense of urgency.

Villa let us have the ball where we couldn't hurt them and were dangerous on the break.

 

[Volpone]

They deserved it. We didn't.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Seriously though, I’m gutted to lose a semi final like that but thank the sweet baby jebus that we didn’t get to Wembley because we would have taken a very long, slow, painful mauling to the biggest **** of a football club in the universe. The poor mites couldn’t handle the noise generated by several fat, ginger cuppa soup drinking bindippers.... I think when faced with a competitive final Ayoze Perez might actually just pull his shorts down and start crying....

The real game is on Saturday, this is the least significant blip in our season.

 

[FOX Franks]

Holy shit Gray is standing off elMohamedy like the man’s been paid to do so.
Gray needs to go. He’s had long enough and as far as I’m concerned he’s nowhere near prem level.

 

[popillius]

Forget it. In the grand scheme of things it’s third prize behind a CL spot and the FA Cup, both of which we have a crack at. Every Villa fan would swap their team’s position for ours right now without any hesitation. We made too many errors and we could have blown them away but we didn’t and that’s that. It’s now much more important how we respond and how Rodgers picks them up in time for the Chelsea game.

 

[SilverFox]

Any swagger we had is gone. Different team since Everton at home. What has happened to us?
