Match Thread Leicester v Aston Villa (League Cup Semi-Final first leg)

[Graz]

We've been all over them. They've barely had a sniff. Frustrating.

Keep going and we will still win this.

I'm going to have to say it, I'm afraid. I haven't seen yet, what others have in Praet. He's too loose with his passing and he doesn't move the ball quick enough for my liking. I'm not convinced by him as of yet albeit having only seen him make a few appearances thus far. One thing is for sure; we are really missing Ndidi.

 

[glyn]

Villa have stifled us very well

For the role he plays in our squad, he's a v good player to have.

He isn't as good as Maddison or Tielemans but that's why he doesn't play as much.

I'm not sure. Maybe he is but he's not convinced me yet that he's strong enough to be relied upon when we need him.

 

[Miles Away]

This system doesn’t work without a holder.

 

[popillius]

How the **** is that a foul by Vardy?

 

[glyn]

Never a yellow card for that Vardy tackle. Ref has been poor so far.

 

[popillius]

This system doesn’t work without a holder.

Absolutely right. It's too open and there's not enough support for the front players.

 

[popillius]

Villa growing in confidence. We look like we are going the other way.

 

[Micky]

This referee is a useless twat.

 

[glyn]

Ricardo has gone full on Terry Butcher now.

 

[FOX Franks]

villa are now the definition of 10 behind the ball. And why wouldn’t they be? Expect nothing less

 

[popillius]

That's a perfect example of what I mean when I write about Praet. He slowed the whole attack down there looking to pass backwards or sideways. He's no doubt a gifted player but I'm not so sure he's as good as he needs to be for us. He reminds me of Silva a bit only with some talent.

 

[Lako42]

Complete and utter bollocks

Agreed.
On more than one occasion he went back instead not looking for the ball forward.

He's playing next to the most static, uninterested midfielder I have seen in many ****ing years

 

[fitz]

Get Youri off and stick Hamza on. Our defenders are sitting so deep as Ndidi isn't there and neither is Youri. Either play him further up and take Praet off or take him off. So ****ing annoying as these are dog turd.

 

[Rock Fox]

We've been poor - when we have the ball the game is a gentle, sideways passing, walking pace. We've been utterly complacent and half arsed. Sort it out Brendan!

 

[Jeff]

Choudhury for Tielemans please. Tielemans keeps trying to pass the ball through gaps that don't exist. We miss Wilf.
