Match Thread Leicester v Aston Villa

[lesterboy]

Ndidi has the vision of a mole.

 

[FOX Franks]

Oh look, Everton have scored.

Can see how this season is going to play out can’t you? Cooper has his work cut out.

Come on Leicester. Turn it round!!

Ndidi needs to come off. We need quality in that position

I’m not watching, but I am confused by how Ndidi has gone from being good enough for any champions league team to being hoiked off for having no quality. I know it has happened over time, but still…

What’s gone on?

 

[Jeff]

FFS

 

[Micky]

Not a surprise. We have done really well but they just have more quality than us.

 

[Miles Away]

2-0 failure to clear the lines.

Game over.

Going to be a long season. Lots of huff and puff with no returns.

His strength was never being creative or skill in the ball.

We're using him as a presser and physical presence further up the pitch.

He's just not going to create enough for us in that role.

We need to start our better players for one thing.

We don't have the players to purely rely on fighting and keeping it tight. Cooper needs to learn this quickly.

We have too much quality on the bench in Mavididi and Ricardo. They need to start. Put Ricardo in midfield instead of Wilf if needed.

 

[Jeff]

Ayew replaced by Mavididi
Skipp off, El K on
Fatawu off, Bou on

 

[DillyDing22]

Attacking options on, Buono, Bilal, Stephy… it’s like I’m mates with them all but really I can’t be bothered typing the names.

Let’s have a go and make it interesting. Rather lose by 3 or 4 and have a go.

He's being asked to play further up the field which isn't his game. Alas square pegs in round holes.

 

[Graz]

Just realised, the 3-2 prediction is on.

Let's ****ing go

 

[Jeff]

Nice

 

[Graz]

And it's 2-1! Instant impact from Buono

 

[TommyK]

Come on!!!

 

[Miles Away]

We brought on our creative players.

Mavididi immediately tears them apart and Bounanatte scores.

Absolutely spot on.

We’re not a million miles off. Absolutely competitive in every match we’ve played so far. New manager, new signings. Just a few matches on the spin and we could be looking up nicely. Or the other way round!

Feels like the great escape season so far - losing every game 2-1 isn’t helpful
