Match Thread Leicester v Aston Villa

[homer]

I'd leave things for now but look to bring Tete on for Mendy or Wilf, move Maddison in to the middle to get more control and someone who can use the ball a bit deeper.

And Nacho/Daka on for Vardy. He has looked more up for it tonight but really not been involved at all and looks a yard or two short of pace - Watkins is pressing our 2 CBs on his own but Vardy hasn't got it in him to do it anymore.

Daka should be able to offer more pressure on their CBs and a good option for a ball over the top which looks on tonight.

That’s not the game plan.

They are pressing high - we are dropping to the half way line and retreating into shape. Vardy is doing his job well

I think a fully fit and performing Maddison would be key to our survival. How’s he doing , no one has mentioned him

Wasted out wide imo.

We’ve got every chance here. Come on city.

Absolutely agree. We then break quickly and swiftly…..sure I’ve seen this before…somewhere??

Apparently Vardy only had 5 touches in the first half

He’s playing well. Keeping shape, closing when he can.

I think he will be shagged out within the next 10 minutes though

What is also encouraging is that we are getting in their faces a bit and giving the ref some grief.

Fans making it uncomfortable too.

The Sky Sports commentary says Vardy is struggling to impact the game.

Is that Happy Gilmore's influence? Can't remember the film tbh...

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Vardy has been good IMO. There's also a lot more tenacity in general today when trying to win the ball back. Ndidi also looks a lot better than he has been in a long time.

Stuck out wide and stinking the place out

 

[Miles Away]

Can see why Rodgers didn't fancy Iversen. Shit with his distribution.

Time for Dewsbury-Hall to come off for Tete and slide Maddison central.

 

[M17TT C]

Maddison drops in the middle and straight away a delightful ball.

 

[Miles Away]

We are starting to get a little bit leggy here. Needs freshening up from the bench.

 

[M17TT C]

KDH and Timmy to come off - too much of a risk on the yellows.

Tete and Ricardo on and lets go for them.

 

[Thefoxinoz]

Dewsbury Hall you twat

 

[Miles Away]

Stupid stupid red card. What a crying shame.

Well, you weren’t wrong about that.
