Archer has struggled to get into the game when he has come on this season would be my guess. Harsh, as he's a better player than Davis, but David can cause havoc through body strength and power that Archer can't.

I wonder whether SJM will be pushed up to 10 today.

Very minimal time though. Davis has years of opportunities and been shit 90% of the time

Ramsey on the wing? Not sure i like the thought of this.

Think el ghazi should have started in that position

Hardly wingers under Gerrard Demitri. More like 2 narrow 10s. And as I said, I reckon McGinn might be more like than Ramsey to be there.

Davis over Archer again.
Title: Re: Aston Villa vs Leicester City Match Thread
Post by: SoccerHQ on December 05, 2021, 03:59:52 PM
As I've said on the now condemned pre match thread think packing out the midfield could be a smart tactic v these. Can't allow likes of Maddison and Harvey Barnes space just outside the box anyway.

Are Vardy and Ihenacho on the bench? That could be issue as with Ings missing again we don't have huge amount of credible attacking options on ours.

I don't think the problem is the passer, it's that we're not moving well enough to create space. Too many times one of our players has looked up and taken extra touches waiting for someone to make a pass for them.

Would take the 1-1 going into half time.

Not to go all Martin O'Neill, but if this was to carry on, I'd be tempted to put Konsa on Barnes.

Play Cash further up in place of Buendia. The latter is giving us nuisance value at best at the moment.

Post by: Toronto Villa on December 05, 2021, 05:14:27 PM
We give almost all opponents too much of the ball. It’s a leftover from the Dean Smith era. Why we don’t quickly close teams down when we don’t have the ball and why we have become so careless with it is beyond me because we were like that last season. Granted it helped Jack could keep the ball for long periods but the fall off is incredible.

Play Cash further up in place of Buendia. The latter is giving us nuisance value at best at the moment.

Funny how people see things differently.  I'd have said that Buendia is the only one of the three behind Watkins showing anything.

Yep pretty much. Doug has been half asleep most of the time and easily our worst CM. Would put Sanson on if he dosen't improve.

Will always support the ref if they are unsure of summat in real time and double check if the option is there.

Should be what the technology is for.

But to give the goal - only to chalk it off after video confirms the keeper has had a 'mare, well.  That's just another level of special.

Is this the same twat who chalked off our injury time penalty at home to Brighton last year? 

That was similar, in the sense that his initial response was right. But then he checks the monitor -sees there is contact for certain - and chalks it off.  ::) ::) ::)

The rule regarding the foul

 A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:

1. the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save

2. holding the ball in the outstretched open hand

3. bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air

A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hand(s).

Get the 3rd and open the eggnog. 

Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?

Yes, in a midweek game when Brian Little was manager.
Beat Wimbledon 7-1 the game before IIRC. Can remember it being 4-1 and think that *this* was how it was going to be at Villa for the rest of the season. We were going to destroy all comers by a cricket score.

I was young & naïve.

No, we drew 4-4 against Leicester the previous season to the season we beat Wimbledon 7-1. I was living abroad when we drew 4-4 but I was back home for a visit and attended the 4-4. By the time we beat Wimbledon 7-1 I was living back in England. It was shortly before Christmas when we thrashed Wimbledon and there were long and loud chants of "Merry Christmas Wimbledon" from the Holte end. I was at the game with my fiance at the time and it was her first time at a proper football match.

After Man City Gerrard commented on us having to know when to make smart fouls. Something Man City are superb at. Tactical annoying ways to stop the opponent from playing. I’m not a huge fan of the dark arts but the alternative is complete naivety at this level. We need more of the former and less of the latter.
