God i cant stand vardy

Team wise its best we can field at the moment.  Suprised onanas not starting and he went for barkley

Post by: SaddVillan on January 04, 2025, 01:55:20 PM
As strong a starting XI as we could hope for.

But a glance at the bench shows that we don't have a huge amount of strength in depth.

Only Maatsen, JJ, Onana and Buendia could be described as first teamers.

Bailey has to provide or score today , its starting to get desperate with him .

Hope fully the rumours of a right winger might give him a kick up his shorts.


Onana not starting Im suprised , and Id have rested Luca .

Why not Onana alongside Kamara?

I thought he played great against Man City.  Nobody played well at Newcastle and then he looked a little off the pace when he came on against Brighton.  Strange.
Title: Re: Aston Villa vs Leicester Match Thread
Post by: Rigadon on January 04, 2025, 02:10:28 PM
With the midfield it's horses for courses.  Onana will play alongside Kamara when we play away or at home v the better sides. I suppose they've figured that, in the absence of Rogers, Barkley is a better option to break down a team who will park the bus and hit long balls.  Leicester will 100% do this and attempt to get Vardy in behind via route 1.

Jimoh-Aloba? Anyone know anything about him?

Played reasonably well in the Youth Euros and the EFL trophy. Can play any position across the attack as well. Probably raw for throwing on so I assume he is just there for matchday experience rather then playing at any point. (Unless we are 5-0 up).

We need a good win today. I know we would all take a scrape by 3 points but we need something that boosts our overall morale. We just haven’t been convincing for the majority of the season. Always a stupid goal conceded and silly mental errors that cost us at various times of the games at both ends. A solid confidence boosting home win please Villa.
Title: Re: Aston Villa vs Leicester Match Thread
Post by: brontebilly on January 04, 2025, 02:37:49 PM

If we can't trust Barkley at home to Leicester and Harry Winks then he's not worth having in the squad. He should be fine today.

I reckon he’s being eased slowly back in to it. He was suffering for a little while before it was confirmed he was actually going to be out for a little while.

Well, installing the browser would be absolutely insane, but with their search engine, it's which site they're sending you to that you need to be suspicious of.

Really struggling today so far. Barkley has been dreadful too, so slow. Ramsey hasn't got involved yet either. Not that Digne is playing badly but Id like to see Maatsen at half time. We look so one paced out there.

This. I really like Bailey but he’s been really poor. His best option is to get his head down and go at the full back but he cuts back every time straight back into traffic while cash offers very little.
The biggest issue is the lack of intensity though. They’re here to frustrate so if we pass it slowly hoping that a space will open up then we will likely remain frustrated. We need to move it quickly, open up the spaces and have the full backs or a central runner breaking the lines to overload them.

Konza likes to let it bounce these days.

He's hiding from taking responsibility.

Bit of a lively finish at least. Very pedestrian half which to be honest I don't mind. Leicester are very limited so it won't take much to beat them.

Positives, Cash has been solid again, thought Watkins should have done better with that chance he made for him. Kamara and Mings have been fine.

Negatives, Bailey is having a nightmare but so bad we have to keep faith with him. Barkley far too slow in and out of possession. Game has passed Ramsey by since he came in. McGinn limping off far from ideal.

Id bring Maatsen on at left back at half time. We need that threat to get in around the back to break these down. Buendia at some stage might come in too.

It's safety first with every pass, heaven forbid we take on a player, we're creating nothing as demonstrated by Watkins breaking Gabby's record for fewest touches in a half. Watkins managed seven, one less than Gabby's eight against I think Man City. At least those touches weren't all from kick offs. We're really missing Duran today who at least brings a purpose to our attack.

JJ needs to stand out rather than blend in. He's our only hope of changing the game.

Watkins sold Mings short but their player picks the ball up on the halfway like with 5 defenders and the keeper to beat. It doesn't help giving away possession in their half but it’s a bit of a stretch to lay the blame on Ollie.

The ball from Ramsey to Maatsen was sublime

I thought Maatsen made the move with his little run across, we need more of that

Excellent pressing combo work by JJ and Maatsen and then a superb 1-2 between them to play Maatsen in for the cross.

Goals for Barkley and Bailey - time for one from Buendia?

This was really Watkins' chance to take back his starring position, but yeah, I'd nearly try and disguise Duran as someone else and start him next game.
