Match Thread Aston Villa v Leicester

[popillius]

I thought it was really poor when the og went in that nobody went up to him to offer encouragement

They absolutely did. Watch it later on MotD. There are at least two players who go and speak to him.

It’s Kristiansen.

It’s Tetê!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is blameless for both of Villa’s goals. Castagne should have reacted much quicker for their first. He was 2 yards ahead of Watkins when the initial shot was taken.

Agree 100%

 

[popillius]

In theory Daka is a more similar player to Vardy and Rodgers probably considered him a better fit for whatever mad shit he was trying to execute.

He’s wrong of course, as today has shown.

Bang on. It smacks of 'he's my man, the one I brought here so I'll play him regardless of how shit he looks'

It's 'off'.

I agree. I just generally think he’s a bit of a liability. I’m entirely unconvinced about his positioning.

Is what it is. I’ve just not seen anything to suggest he’s a long term answer. I’m pretty sure we will be looking for a keeper in the summer.

I don’t think BN is watching the game, do you?

I don't think it makes much difference most of the time.

Bad miss from Nacho there... should be 4.

 

[big_mac4824]

Nacho must score there!

 

[popillius]

And Nacho is back.....

That's why some of us find him so ****ing infuriating.

 

[homer]

Going to have to shut this game down at some point - we are wide open at times

 

[popillius]

This second half Nacho is ****ing shit.

Last time I said that he scored and assisted so......

 

[Brown Nose]

Mendy on for Barnes and we win this game. If we stay this open, we could well lose it.

 

[Singapore Fox]

We haven’t got a particularly good record shutting up shop have we! Much rather see us push on for a fourth. Playing some good stuff

 

[big_mac4824]

Tete is playing really well

 

[camberwell fox]

We need to wake up here

 

[big_mac4824]

Vardy and Praet inbound?

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Another good block from Souttar there. We're creaking defensively...

 

[popillius]

Ward does very well there in the end.

Souttar has been absolutely excellent.
