Given, Hutton, Vlaar, Clark, Cissokho, Bacuna, Cleverley, Westwood, Delph, Weimann, Benteke.
No Gil, no party. :(
-
442?
-
Lambert had a say in that team being picked, clearly, because there's Cleverley and no Gil.
-
Marshall/Marshall out!
-
@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC subs (v #LCFC): Guzan, Okore, Sinclair, Cole, Sanchez, Lowton, Grealish. #AVFCLIVE
Gil injured surely
-
Marshall/Marshall out!
I've not been impressed by the handling of this situation, all too negative... As with that line up!
-
Of course, Gil out and Cleverley in. That's just what we need.
It's like everyone at the club has completely taken leave of their senses this weekend.
-
No Agbonlahor either....
-
442?
433 I think
-
No Sanchez, Gil, Gabby nor Sinclair. Looks like defensive/ solid/ non-creative 442.
-
No Agbonlahor either....
That's hardly a negative.
-
No striker on the bench but Grealish back. Smells like a 'concentrate on the league' order from above.
-
@AVFCOfficial: #AVFC subs (v #LCFC): Guzan, Okore, Sinclair, Cole, Sanchez, Lowton, Grealish. #AVFCLIVE
Gil injured surely
Yeah. Grim news that.
-
4-3-3 Gil must be injured not even on bench
-
Functional, I suppose. Hardly creative.
-
My wind has been well and truly taken off my sails after reading this line up. I hope theres injuries to Sinclair, Gil and Gabby, otherwise this is one boring approach to a cup game.
-
Aston Villa caretaker coach Scott Marshall, speaking to BBC Sport: "It is not an ideal situation by any means with the manager leaving earlier in the week, that has been a disappointment for everyone but now we just try to get into the next round of the FA Cup.
Who picked the team? "All the staff have stepped up and helped out and we have come into an agreement with the team today.
"Tim Sherwood is an enthusiastic guy and I am sure he will be keen to stamp his authority on the team."
BBC Sport
-
Gabby and Gil injured. Bugger
-
Fucking hell, Gil injured already, what the fuck do we do during training to pick up so many injuries but be utter shit on the pitch?
-
Gabby and Gil injured. Bugger
Are there any reports of that or is it a guess?
Genuine question, not trying to be smart (usually beyond me anyway)
-
What's the Leicester team?
-
Gabby and Gil injured. Bugger
Are there any reports of that or is it a guess?
Genuine question, not trying to be smart (usually beyond me anyway)
Reports come from Collymore.
-
Regardless of the timing, I'd really have preferred to have Tim in the dug out today. The enthusiasm from Lambert sacking seems to ebbing away quicker than it should've. Still think we'll win this... But reckon we'll have to wait til the second half for some attacking options.
-
Leicester City
32 Schwarzer
17 Simpson
27 Wasilewski
05 Morgan
06 Upson
03 Konchesky
26 Mahrez
08 James
19 Cambiasso
15 Schlupp
40 Kramaric
Substitutes
07 Hammond
09 Vardy
10 King
11 Albrighton
12 Hamer
18 Moore
23 Ulloa
Ref: Mark Clattenburg
Pretty much full strength.
This will be a replay.
-
If I were a betting man I'd put money on a dramatic Sherwood appearance in the dug out second half when we are toss for the first.
"I couldn't sit there and do nothing" said the incoming Villa boss as he appeared after half- time to inspire his new charges to victory with a superb second half display from Jack Grealish........
Hopefully!
-
Fantastic.
The one player who can offer something a bit inspiring injured, a back to the dark ages 442, and not even a proper wide man in there.
Plus ça change.
-
So lowton is starting AND on the bench. Sherwood must have lots of belief in him.
-
Word is Gil is injured, so as mauve as that side is, the hand is slightly forced.
-
You're all going to be shocked at the sudden bursts forward of the revamped Tom 'Fwank Lamps' Cleverley.
-
Shearer "If this was a league game it would be a nailed on 0-0."
December 2014- Villa 2-1 Leicester
January 2015- Leicester 1-0 Villa.
-
I can see the bigger picture here. The plan is to bore the entire nation to death, so there will be no officials left to complete the necessary relegation paperwork.
-
At least there might be a positive air floating around Villa Park with Lambert gone. Hopefully the players can pick up on that and put in an inspired performance.
-
Sitting in the Holte and it weirdly feels like Lambert is still here ,
-
Come on, Villa, let's smash these sock-manufacturing twats.
-
BBC saying Gil groin strain & Gabby hamstring strain.
-
Bad times - Gil out injured
Good times - it's not a league match.
-
Benny Gil strained his groin being chased through Aston Park by six nurses.
-
Cleverley to score first goal
-
I can't put into words how gutted I was that Gil is injured. Is this a sign how utterly starved we are of quality and excitement? :)
-
Stupid, stupid corner.
-
Very small crowd.
-
Anyone got the blue peter commentary on?
-
Anyone got the blue peter commentary on?
Seriously considering it - they can't be worse than Savage.
-
I am watching on BBC iPlayer, why do I have two morons commentating and I don't mean Savage? Talking about our new manager beating wolves with sticks among other shite.
-
Anyone got the blue peter commentary on?
I think everyone who's turned up today deserves a badge.
-
Wow, a shot, before 89 minutes :)
-
Wtf...has Given put on weight? He looks pudgy! Hope he doesnt have to jump to far...
-

Same conditioning coach as Gabby & Bent ;)

Well Savage says Gil is a big miss as he was impressed when he watched him setup the goal against Arsenal.
-

It's not his fault he was born a twat.
-
I'm listening to 5live Green and Roberts aren't too bad at the moment.
-
Cripes.
-
Bloody hell that was a let off.
-
Blimey Charlie, that was close.
-
Good round of applause for Sherwood.
-

Good point I'll log off ;)

Empty seats, m'lord.
-
Along with the Savage Arsenal mistake, sack the idiot who just captioned Scott Marshall 'Tim Sherwood, Aston Villa Manager'.
-

Ha! They just corrected it, the guilty intern has had a slap round the head.
-
Neutral fans will be gladly switching this dull rubbish off to have Sunday lunch with their famiies.
-
I think we're perhaps the most mind-numbingly tedious football team the world has ever seen.
-
Along with the Savage Arsenal mistake, sack the idiot who just captioned Scott Marshall 'Tim Sherwood, Aston Villa Manager'.
Heskey called us Liverpool too....
-
How long has Vlaar been back to full fitness?
I'd assumed he was still injured.
-
Afternoon all. How have we lined up?
-
The game looks like it's going the way of the last 4-5 days.
Started brightly with grounds for optimism before regressing to the same old, same old. :(
-
We bore to death, m'lord.
-
Also, Leicester's booing of Hutton - I understand it is about that Konchesky sending off, but christ, talk about slim justifications for booing an opposition player. It's worse than Albion fans booing him still because he dared tackle Shane Long.
-

He was on the bench on Tuesday.
-
This lot really do need livening up ... Maybe Timmy is the man after all
-
We're playing excellent.
-
My daffodils are wilting at this bore fest.
-
Also, Leicester's booing of Hutton - I understand it is about that Konchesky sending off, but christ, talk about slim justifications for booing an opposition player. It's worse than Albion fans booing him still because he dared tackle Shane Long.
In fairness they need to do something to keep themselves amused, because there's bog all interesting happening on the pitch.
I think it might be time to revert to my free money bet. (Aston Villa 0)

Indeed. Koncheski was rightly sent off too. Outrageously tenuous booing.

I used to love the "Villa winning at half time / to lose at full time" bet which is usually around 28-30/1, regardless of who we played, but that has been ruined by the non-scoring hoodoo.
-
Looks like M&M are just following Lambert's philosophy, because they're the same as before, slow build up, poor passing and slow on the ball. Lots of work for Sherwood.
-
What the f&%k was that from Given?
-
For Fuck sake. why do we keep trying to be clever in the most dangerous areas?!

Can't win big on it, but I just view it as 50% better interest than having it in the bank.
-

But the weird thing is, we have looked truly awful for months now, but we are still not far off being a half decent side.
Usually you'd point at relegated sides and say "they can't defend for shit", but, even despite Arsenal, that isn't the case with us. You can't even say we have a shit squad any more.
We manage the seemingly (or "should be") impossible of being both a quite good side and a breathtakingly shit one at the same time.
-
We're like an ageing porn star who was once the main man, but now has a pot belly and a soft winkle.
-
One thing that's different with Benteke this season is that he stops and acts out a 3 act drama with gestures at the ref, teammates or GOD after each sequence that doesn't go his way.
Fuck it , forget about it and go after the ball or a new position why dont ya!
-

He's probably texting his agent to ask if there was a cooling off period on that contract.
-
We're like an ageing porn star who was once the main man, but now has a pot belly and a soft winkle.
Bonus point for "winkle".
-
Bacuna is utter shit.
-
What was Hutton doing then? The big blockhead.
-
We're like an ageing porn star who was once the main man, but now has a pot belly and a soft winkle.
And a colostomy bag.
-
He's got his work cut out has Sherwood. You'd think we have around 16 players today because we keep finding 4 or 5 of theirs on a regular basis.
-
Fuck we're under the cosh here.
-

Amazingly just got 2.1 on the rest of the first half!
-
Well, if this is them trying to impress the new manager we can safely say we're f****d.
-
We're like an ageing porn star who was once the main man, but now has a pot belly and a soft winkle.
Well the fans are certainly being repeatedly fucked
-
Awful defending, they deserve to lose this the way they're playing. Looked like Vlaar could have given a penalty away, lucky.
-
What was Hutton doing then? The big blockhead.
Not just Hutton, Delph twice and then Bacuna.
-
Savages commentating is so biased... Leicester love in... BBC wrong to put him on...
-

No, he's been given the sack.
-
Did anyone else, when Jonathan Pearce spoke of the empty seats, find it pretty ironic to hear that coming from someone in the media which has played a huge part in destroying the FA Cup?
-
What a save.
-
Savages commentating is so biased... Leicester love in... BBC wrong to put him on...
Well they are the better team, so more positives about them.
-
Great save Shay
-
Great shot, brilliant save.
-
So lacklustre. Cling on til half time then get Tim in with a massive hairdryer.
-
Great save Given.
-
What a save from Given. Redeemed himself for earlier.
-
Only Villa can fuck up a 4 on 2 break.
-
We've livened this up by being even more shit. Well done.
-
What a complete waste of a break there.
-
Wasted the chance, final ball hopeless
-
That was a really crap through ball by Cleverley
-
How to f%&k up a good break.
If we were trying not to score we couldn't do it any better.
-
Savages commentating is so biased... Leicester love in... BBC wrong to put him on...
TalkTalk is OK
-
For me Delph fucked that counter up. Completely got in Benteke's way.
-
Have to say cleverly is quite useless
-
For me Delph fucked that counter up. Completely got in Benteke's way.
Cleverley's ball wasn't too brilliant, either.
-
Counter attack and no damn clue what to do. Even with poor coaching the players must know where the damn goal is. We attacked like we'd never seen a football before. These are professional footballers for gods sake.
-
For me Delph fucked that counter up. Completely got in Benteke's way.
Shit ball from Cleverly. It was meant for Delph, but 2 yards behind him, with Benteke making the same run as Delph but 3 yards further back.
-
For me Delph fucked that counter up. Completely got in Benteke's way.
Cleverley's ball wasn't too brilliant, either.
Incredibly, despite the space and options ahead, he played in behind everyone.
-
If you get a tune out of this lot Tim then I would probably lick your strange face.
-
They are not breaking with enough pace....
-
Counter attack and no damn clue what to do.
And yet the first cliche in the Aston Villa Book of Cliches For Journalists is "they're so dangerous on the counter"
-
Shut up savage no penalty
-
Agree with Savage, that push by Vlaar should have been a penalty.
-
Twice now Bacuna caught offside, schoolboy stuff.
-
Mr Sherwood needs to make the cliched appearance at the start of the 2nd half.
-
And yet the first cliche in the Aston Villa Book of Cliches For Journalists is "they're so dangerous on the counter"
Based on a mystifyingly high opinion of Gabby.
-
Does Clark get a touch on the ball on that supposed penalty incident? For me it looks like the Leicester chap was anticipating a low header and was going that way anyway. Not a clear cut penalty for me. But I'm hugely biased.
-
This is so boring my Sunday dinner is starting to uncook itself.
-
Cleverley is an eight million pound black hole.
-
Andi's body language is awful, no confidence at all.
-
Morning all. Can't believe I'm tuned it at 5am to watch this shite, but haven't quite got the jet lag reset yet.
-
We really are utterly clueless anywhere around the box.
-
Weimann is so ordinary
-
This is making me feel so lethargic I don't even feel like breaking open one of the 16 cans of London Pride that I have in my kitchen.
And please, we've had enough close ups now of Tim whatshisname.
-
You know it's so bleeding hard to watch us these days and it's not even now about the lack of goals; it's the fact that we cannot even do the simple things right. It's like 11 total strangers, have been given the ball on a Sunday morning to play, having spent the night before heavily in the sauce.
Where the hell does Sherwood even start?
-
"Fantastic football club"
Said Robbie Savage.
-
A shot would be nice
-
Savage really struggled saying "I loved playing here, fantastic club"
-
Footage of Tom Fox next to Sherwood looking worried in case he resigns tonight.
-
Pedestrian, lack of width, Lamberts legacy lives on
-
Morning all. Can't believe I'm tuned it at 5am to watch this shite, but haven't quite got the jet lag reset yet.
where are you Risso?
-
Anybody think Sherwood is wondering ether its too late to do a u turn!
He must be thinking what a job he has on his hands.
We need some width which means Sinclair losing a stone or Charlie having a rocket up his arse for next week
-
That was a good move....offside
-
much better, but Benteke has to learn offside
-
hopefully that gives him a little bit of confidence because it was a very tidy finish
-
Sherwood heading to dressing room?
-
Lol! I love the genuine celebration to that even though everyone knew he was offside!
-
Anybody think Sherwood is wondering ether its too late to do a u turn!
He has just left his seat and probably Villa Park.
-
Well at least there is 11 men out there trying hard to show the new manager that given the chance they surely can play professional football and save the greatest club on earth!!
Oh wait...
-
Well that almost looked promising.
I see Sherwood has already left the posh seats. Trip to the toilet or the dressing room?
-
Pedestrian, lack of width, Lamberts legacy lives on
These guys are in the shop window today, no matter what went before they need to impress the new boss. Nothing whatsoever has altered. It's bloody depressing and deeply concerning that the malaise is so deep.
-
Say penalty again Robbie....
-
V much a Lambert style performance. We are poor to watch.awful football! Shearer just said no desire.
-
How will Beeb fill 15 minutes with 'highlights'?
-
Its that bad ive just finished my second beer and i don't normally drink until the evening
BBC wondering why the match is so shite. Why pick this f in game then
-
Think Sherwood might be looking for his car after that
-
Nail on the head Shearer...."its just boring"
-
Lack of confidence, and clearly need some direction.
-
Lets hope Sherwood has gone down to the dressinghttp://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/Themes/HandV%20Theme2/images/post/xx.gif room and tell this lot
a few home truths and rattle a few cages
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
-
Interesting to hear Shearer and Dublin say that Sherwood has got to get in that dressing room now.
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Injured.
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
I heard he has an injury. He'd have fun today I think. Shame.
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Injured apparently.
-
Terrible first half. Not only is there a lack of ideas again but there is no passion or energy in our game. It feels more like a pre-season game at times. No width and no movement. Leicester have been the better side so far and Given's world class save the highlight from us. Wouldn't mind seeing Sinclair come on second half, but Bacuna at least has given it a go.
Shearer just said that he didn't think it was a penalty and I think he may have a point.
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Injured.
Ah, boo.
Still, looking on the bright side....I'm off to the Grand Canyon in an hour!
-
BBC said Sherwood has gone to the dressing room. Hope he's kicking arses. Have to say for once Shearer and Dublin are spot on with their comments
-
every game Weimann skies one over the bar. Useless fucker.
-
Film on BBC1 about Villa's win in 1957
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Injured.
Ah, boo.
Still, looking on the bright side....I'm off to the Grand Canyon in an hour!
nice. Jealous it's -37C in Toronto this morning with the wind chill.
-
Now drop Cleaverly for Grealish and Weimann for Sinclair at least. Please!
-
Never get BORED watching this. Classic stuff :)
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Injured.
Ah, boo.
Still, looking on the bright side....I'm off to the Grand Canyon in an hour!
I'm not sure it will be that impressive compared to the size of the hole we've dug ourselves into.
-
The team is giving us a timely reminder why ANYBODY is better than Lambert.
-
Meanwhile in the Lambert household, Paul turns to his wife and says 'I thought they were excellent, more of the same in the second half'.
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Injured.
Ah, boo.
Still, looking on the bright side....I'm off to the Grand Canyon in an hour!
nice. Jealous it's -37C in Toronto this morning with the wind chill.
27C in Las Vegas yesterday...hottest February day ever apparently. Kids were in the outside pool all afternoon.
-
A pretty rubbish first half. Despite being a massive critic of Cleverley, I think he's been our best player. That's not saying much though.

-
what hotel are you staying at?
I think he is at the Wynne.
-
Heskey speaks well I think. Could be a decent pundit.
I had a chuckle when the co-presenter alongside him said he was "universally loved here and in Leicester."
-
Watching this from a different angle eh Witton Lane rather than End but still shit. Delph and Westwood stand out crap amongst the rubbish heap!
-
A pretty rubbish first half. Despite being a massive critic of Cleverley, I think he's been our best player. That's not saying much though.
I think Westwood was our best player in the first half.
-
Heskey's not the best pundit in the world is he
-
Heskey's not the best pundit striker in the world is he
-
Shut the FUCK up, Savage!
-
fuck me Delphy. That was a really good chance
-
Much better
-
Good words from Tim
-
Another chance not on target, useless
-
and why wasn't Benteke in that position?
-
A pretty rubbish first half. Despite being a massive critic of Cleverley, I think he's been our best player. That's not saying much though.
Nah, he's been the same old crap. Would say either Given or Vlaar have been our best player. Bacuna has done quite well.
Not the best cross there it was a bit behind him but Depth should have got it on target at least.

Bet our ex manager is not watching this boring negative team he built
-
and why wasn't Benteke in that position?
He was ambling towards the penalty spot having failed to tackle Bacuna
-
Bet our ex manager is not watching this boring negative team he built
If he's got any sense he'll be down the pub or on the golf course.
-
Love how Savage has forgotten that Sherwood isn't actually in charge for this game ::)
-
Balls into the box. Amazing.
-
Bacuna and Benteke hate each other
-
Much better play.
-
Hopefully that was Sherwood asking why we had everyone back defending the freekick.
-
Good break, nearly got lucky
-
Savage is like a broken record

nice. Stayed there last year. H2(Eau) is a nice restaurant.
-
Savage is like a broken record
I really don't like Mr. Savage.
-
well it's better and at least we are trying to get the ball into the box now.
-
Urgency and effort noticeably improved after a half time team talk. Very weird.
-
This is our best spell need to score in this period I think.
-
Savage is an utter tool but he is spot on when he says are midfield three are all the same.
-
Bet our ex manager is not watching this boring negative team he built
If he's got any sense he'll be down the pub or on the golf course.
It looked like that was where he spent most of his time anyway looking at the "performances" he managed to get of the suqad.
-
forward passes....that's something new
-
Looks there's more urgency nowlike Sherwood has had some impact
-
The players look total strangers to each other, don't understand that
-
Tim has said the simple thing. Relax, enjoy, attack.
-
Leicester are the opposite side of the same "shit" coin as us.
They're a team of largely useless individuals that know what they're doing.
We're a team of largely decent individuals that don't know what they're doing.
-
This is like a eunuchs' bunga-bunga party.
-
Looked to me that he was winded with the full weight of a player landing on his diaphragm. BBC originally trying to make it out as a flying elbow but now deciding accidental damage.
-
HA HA, he's done something in they game, he did a tackle.
-
Why isn't Gil playing?
Did you ever hear why Barry didn't take that penalty?
-
An hour gone and just 10 pages on the match thread. No goals, no ding dongs, no puns.
-
This is like a eunuchs' bunga-bunga party.
If only our players had got any bollocks!
-
Benteke looks far more focused this half. Good opportunity here.
-
Maybe someone explained to the players in halftime that we get no points for a draw in this game....
Getting rid of that inbred intelligible Scottish accent that needed special interpreters might get some of the foreign (and English) players to understand the matchorders.
-
FFS hit the target
-
Silly waste.
-
that was crap really, when you have so many other options in the box.
-
I'm still slightly puzzled as to what it is that Delph is good at.
-
that's a terrible challenge from guess who...Konchesky. Wanker
-
An hour gone and just 10 pages on the match thread. No goals, no ding dongs, no puns.
There's not really a lot to say about the match, is there?
It's a bit familiar. Although improved this half.
-
Clueless.
-
When you see the free kick from behind the goal, it was all too slow.
By the time he hit it there was nowhere left to hit it.
See Konchesky is trying to go for 2 reds at the same ground in a season record
-
fuck me Westwood
-
Any idea whose sitting with Sherwood?
-
Wasted free kick, useless
-
When I played football I thought crossing it to my player was the easiest thing to do in the game, soooo............
-
Afternoon
What was that westwood
-
Any idea whose sitting with Sherwood?
Tom Fox to the left as you look at Sherwood.

What a whingeing whining c u n t Robbue Savage is
-
Any idea whose sitting with Sherwood?
One's Fox, I'm assuming the other is the recruitment bloke
-
On the basis of the free kick and that he is barely indiscernable from Cleverley and Delph, I would take off Westwood and get on Sinclair.
-
What a whingeing whining c u n t Robbue Savage is
And that's news because.........
-
Commentator asking people to start thinking about voting for man of the match. As it stands, it can only be Shay Given, for that one save.
-
Sure is rubbish Rob
-
No width at all for Delph unless the plodder Cissokho is making a run. That has to change under Sherwood and hopefully involving with two proper wingers
-
Why the fuck did BBC select this game instead of the Bradford match? Baffling.
-
"Its rubbish" says Savage, and he's spot on.
-
The last thing we need is a replay. We won't win it. We need to throw everything at this now. Time for a change.
-
Leicester switch to 442, Ulloa on.
-
Sideways sideways sideways back
-
Wow a cross but nothing on target. We can't find the skill to break their defence, no real penetration
-
What is it with the Midlands and crap football
-
I fully understand why Bacuna wasn't getting a game under Lambert. Though why Cleverely kept getting a game remains a mystery
-
Sinclair coming on
-
What a whingeing whining c u n t Robbue Savage is
And that's news because.........
The thing is he is right in some of that whinge. To much fannying around in midfield sometimes.
-
GET IN!!!
-
Were clueless
-
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLAAAAAAAAZO!!!!!!!!
-
BACUUUUUNNAAAAAAAA
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Top finish Leandro
-
Bacuna on the correct foot for a shot for once.
-
Bacuna whoopee
-
YES!
-
Good we need someone to try and beat the full back
-
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
Bacuna!
-
We're .... winning!!!
-
fucking superb goal and he was about to taken off. Haha
-
Pick that out!!!
-
Leandro Bacuna, thank you very much for that.
-
Tim loving it....made me smile
-
Timbo Sherwood's claret and blue army!
-
Ah thank fook for that! Come on Villa!
-
Sherwood looked like he loved that.
-
Great finish Bacuna. Playing left side coming into right, he can really finish Bacuna
-
Very nicely taken shot.
-
CRACKING GOAL!! Always liked Bacuna! ;D
-
I'm not keen on Sherwood but I can't deny it's good to see him celebrating the goal like that.
-
Class 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
-
Can we play Vlaar as an AMC?! Great little ball to Bacuna.
-
Great bit of work from Vlaar for the goal.
-
Get in!
-
Now watch us sit in our box and let Leicester dominate for 20 minutes
-
Benteke had to look up. FFS.
-
That is shit Benteke. Come on, you're better than that
-
DON'T SIT BACK VILLA!
-
Ffs benteke
-
Relly poor from Benteke. Are there two of them?! He's looked a bit better today though.
-
Benteke had to look up. FFS.
He's usually good at playing people in too.
-
SMAAAASH Clarky
-
fuck off side. Should have been 2-0
-
Why play that Benteke, you should have known he would be off then.
-
I'm not keen on Sherwood but I can't deny it's good to see him celebrating the goal like that.
Maybe he could get a half season ticket.
-
Shocking shot.
Benteke needs a goal.
-
FUCK! I was celebrating! Come on Villa! Great tackle from Clark too.
-
Benteke's turned into Bencrappy.
-
In looking for an equalizer, Leicester have opened up like a cheaper slapper. We have to finish this
-
Got to get the second...
-
Benteke what are you doing
-
This Mr Lambert, is creating but not taking your chances.
-
Clarks impressed me the last 18 months
-
Delph can be a cocky little twit at times.
-
Superb tackle Ron
-
fuck me, we are rocking at the back. Great block from Vlaar
-
28 ,098 not bad for two sides in the bottom three and live on tv ,the other two "giants" in the city drew a crowd of about the same
-
Delph, why?
But great challenge from Ron then.
-
Fabian has been bunk since he played for England
-
can we take Delph's contract offer back from him? He's looked really poor at times when we desperately need some leadership in the middle
-
Has Benteke been given concrete boots. His movement is non existent.
-
I'll be staggered if we don't concede today.
-
I feel physically sick
-
Great example of what is annoying about Benteke recently just now. Ball from Delph towards Benteke on edge of box, is a couple of feet too short, defender gets it, Benteke stands there looking angry instead of trying to get the ball off him.
I understand how frustrating it must be for him, but really, he's not helping matters with stuff like that.
-
Benteke is a man totally bereft of confidence.
-
Nice to see we're still fans of the Keystone Cops school of defending.
-
come on Scotty. They are shit down the flanks. Get some good crosses in and show we should keep you.
-
Can only assume the second half is a Sherwood impact in desire and effort
-
Who the hell we have as a physio? Every one that gets injured seems to have their football knowledge and talent lobotomised and come back as a zombie.
-
I can't wait for Kozak to come back. Worked hard, scored goals. Could use some of that.
-
F*ck me Cleverley is looking a lot different this half
-
I always slate Cleverley but he has been better today.
-
I can't wait for Kozak to come back. Worked hard, scored goals. Could use some of that.
I think Benteke would benefit from some genuine competition for his place in the team. Not like Gabby or Weimann really offer it.
-
I can't wait for Kozak to come back. Worked hard, scored goals. Could use some of that.
I really like him, too.
He's never going to be a top level striker, but he is more than decent, and like you said, works hard.
-
Need to do better than that Scott
-
Here comes Grealinho
-
Come on, Jacky.
-
Grealish for Weeman.
-
Here comes Jack for Weiman
-
That's embarrassing from Sinclair. Don't just fall over man. Sheesh.
-
Wonder what shampoo Jack uses
-
Grealish for Weeman.
Andi is well pissed off. ;)
-
Very positive changes considering we're winning....that's fresh
-
thank fuck their set pieces are as utterly gash as ours.
-
Is it just me that sees Cleverly and thinks Weimann is still on the pitch?
-
Jack, that was very poor son
-
We've gone off the boil a fair bit last ten minutes.
-
Come on, let's get this over with and then enjoy the rest of Sunday.
-
Is it just me that sees Cleverly and thinks Weimann is still on the pitch?
Savage and Pearce said the same about their likeness at the start of the 2nd half.
-
Has Benteke cut his hair? Because honestly he looks devoid of all of his anger, and energy, and aggression, and desire, and confidence
-
'Don't get sent off,' says Timbo.
-
You know when we play that possession football, just knocking it around... Why can't we do that when we're winning?
-
Whistle now please!
-
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
-
SINCLAAAAIR
-
YEEESSS!!!
-
Get in!
-
YESSSSS Sinclair
-
Lucky second for Sinclair but we deserve it on the 2nd half.
-
YES! Spectrum 48k!
-
TWO !!!!!!!!!!
-
Fuck me, two goals
-
YESSSSSSSSS
-
Fookin get in!
-
6th round here we come!
-
YESSS!!!! Fuck off leicester!
-
Fuck me, two goals
Sherwood innit.
-
TWO!! When was the last time we scored two?
-
Thank you Mark Schwarzer, not that we give a F¤%k :)
-
Who the hell are these 11 players out there scoring goals and creating chances?
-
OH FUCK
-
UH OH.
-
It's the Villa way.
-
Alright lads and lasses. Quarter Final of the FA Cup, new manager. Lots and lots of work ahead but at least we can go into this mini break with a bit more spirit. Been a much better second half, so wonder what was said at HT by the new boss?
Ah fuck me.....
-
Good job we got the second. Grealish brushed off the ball too easily.
-
WTF?!!
-
Hutton at fault for that one.
-
Nicely taken goal, but fuck me, I hope they don't equalise now.
-
Shit. He's looked good that Kramaric.
-
That is just absolutely fucking awful from Hutton.
-
And now we can shit ourselves again.
-
Never do it the easy way.
-
Can we throw this away?
-
Oh dear. Never simple with the Villa!
-
What a fluke goal that was still decent play and terrible goal keeping! But that was sloppy.
-
We can't see a games out comfortably at the end can we?
-
what a daft free kick to give away by Leicester
-
Keep the ball, FFS, Benteke
-
Why Benteke?
-
Oh Benteke. No need there.
-
how about taking it into the corner and seeing out the game Christian?
-
Shoot on sight
Schwarzer's shite.
-
Get the ball. Keep the ball.
-
Don't know how we have seen three goals in this game I did say 2-1 though!
-
Have we scored three this season?
-
YESSSSS game over
-
Get the fuck in!
-
Wembley
-
WE WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Thank f%&k for that.
-
And relax...
-
Tim boy had an effect at half time that's for sure
-
Finally. Sherwood doing the old staircase watching there. Where were the Tangos to move him on?
-
Fuck yourself Leicester!
-
YESSS!!! Come on! The Famous Aston Villa!
-
When's the draw?
One match away from Wembley :)
-
Sad thing we needed Schwarzers help to win this...but Ill take it!
-
Andy Blair thought Cleverley was MoM
I would choose Clark
-
Not very convincing but better second half and job done. The highlight was Bacuna's goal and Given's worldy save in the first half. Would take Blackburn at home next.
-
When's the draw?
Tomorrow on the One show I guess.
-
Brilliant second half, that's the best I've seen TC play too. Still lacking in quality going forward bit we at least tried.
-
Despite the defensive culpability, that was a cracking header.
-
YEEEEESS!
Another home draw please :)
-
Andy Blair thought Cleverley was MoM
I would choose Clark
Not sure about that but I thought Cleverley was decent second half. Maybe tim will the best out of him
