Match Thread Aston Villa v Leicester

[bocadillo]

That's a disgrace of a decision. No way should that have been disallowed.

It was explained on R5L. If the ball is trapped between one of the goalkeeper's hands and a surface, it is regarded as being in his possession.

 

[Miles Away]

Agree with most of this, but Thomas excellent? He's been good going forward but terrible defending, probably the weakest link in a crap defence.

I think he’s growing really well in recent weeks. Looks sharp to me.

Hard to judge anyone individually at the back. Something is foundationally very wrong.

 

[Micky]

Yes I'd agree, Thomas is a defensive weak link.

 

[homer]

Definitely Daka.

Yep - very poor from him there

 

[bocadillo]

Yes, they all stopped and stood there clapping

That is ridiculous. It wasn't obvious on the radio.

 

[sparky79]

Albrighton Perez or Iheanacho on right don't care.just get the change made.

The clapping bit is what i find most baffling. Just doesn't seem appropriate.

 

[M17TT C]

Much the better team in that half and look really good going forward, especially on the left.

Worrying at the back though that we just can't deal with a ball into the box, be it a corner, free kick or even a cross.

Really lucky with VAR too, I guess it is the rule but I'd be gutted if that was disallowed for us.

Hopefully we carry on in the second half looking good going forward but I can't see Villa playing as poor as that second half and fear that we really needed to have a lead to defend for the second half.

There won’t be a change until 70, I bet.

shame, it would change the game.

So just to recap on the new signings:

Vestergaard - dreadful and out of the side
Bertrand - same
Soumare - looks miles off it. At best jury out.
Lookman - has us collectively calling for Perez

Daka looks decent.

At this point a very poor summer.

 

[Graz]

I'd be fuming if we had that ruled out, but if that's the rule then there's no argument. He definitely got a hand on it and you can see even in the full speed replay that the ball did stop before Ramsey got onto it

 

[fitz]

Lookman - has us collectively calling for Perez

Mad times. Correct though. Him or any one of the other subs including Ward.

 

[Miles Away]

The controversy over the goal is masking the ****ing awful effort from Kasper.

All hail the genius of Congerton.

I think Daka looks like a very good signing so far.

I still think Soumare will come good too.

Don't forget that Rodgers said from the off that Daka and Soumare were more signings for next year than this - I think Soumare has the right attributes to succeed, just needs time and patience to adapt to the PL.

The other 3 though, absolute shite

Lookman staying on

****ing ludicrous

As Meat Loaf put it 2 out of 5 ain’t bad.

Clapping started when it was felt impossible for everybody to be quiet for a whole minute.

 

[Miles Away]

Lookman staying on

****ing ludicrous

Course he ****ing is.

 

[TommyK]

Excellent first half imo. (apart from Lookman who is truly shit)
