Match Thread Aston Villa v Leicester

[Miles Away]

It’s them booing fans, and that Man U job, and Claude Puel is what it is.

Definitely not a recruitment strategy and manager who have lost the plot.

 

[Graz]

The problem yet again of not having a right winger worth the space.

We've got 3 good strikers, a good CAM and a good left winger. But you can't get more than 3 of those 5 in without pushing someone out of position. Which never works either though.

Daka on the wing???? Jesus wept.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Can’t even be arsed to follow runners now.

 

[Graz]

Given the shape of the game now, I'd get Albrighton on for KDH and go 4-4-2 so we can get Vardy and Daka central with Maddison still through the middle.

 

[glyn]

Our final ball is causing no problem for Villa at all. Meanwhile they should be four up

 

[Miles Away]

This feels like a new low, this.

Genuine pressure rightly on Rodgers after this.

 

[popillius]

Soyuncu didn't have a ****ing clue where Ramsey was there.

Seriously, he's a ****ing joke of a defender at the minute.

 

[homer]

Change the shape , you nob - this isn’t working FFS

 

[Micky]

I've actually stopped watching. Sad really.

I mean Lookman is shit but, to be fair to the lad, he's also not a right winger. He's played wide left his whole career until BR signed him.

Much like the idiocy of us signing a right back (Castagne) to replace a left back (Chilwell) last summer. It's utterly bonkers recruitment. Turning a balanced squad into a mess.

We should be further down in reality. Combo of players out and players out of form

It’s getting to that point where we were with Puel where a defeat is almost more use than a draw because it might force something to happen.

I don’t want to see us sacking managers during the season but it’s gone now. He’s lost control and the results are way below what these players are capable of.

 

[Blue Maniac]

Thomas and Söyüncü would be very good defenders if marking, tackling, positioning, awareness and concentration weren’t vital skills

 

[homer]

What the actual **** was that

 

[sparky79]

Has to be a pen.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Good save by Martinez.

 

[Jeff]

This feels like a new low, this.

Not watched most of our games this season then?

 

[londonfox]

Brendan Rodgers you are a duck g bellend.

 

[sparky79]

That is a stonewall pen.

 

[DillyDing22]

Is that not a clear penalty?
