Wow Kodjia nowhere to be seen. False 9 it is
-
El-Ghazi up front? A few on here have called to try it out in the past. Glad were back to 3-4-3
-
Wow!
-
3-7-0 formation...
-
Blimey.
-
Leicester
Schmeichel (c), Ricardo, Evans, Söyüncü, Fuchs, Chilwell, Praet, Tielemans, Pérez, Maddison, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Justin, Benković, Choudhury, Albrighton, Barnes, Iheanacho
-
Formation tick, players tick, no number 9 though? Worked for Man City last night.
-
Back to 3 at the back then.
Are we the only British club to NOT player with a striker?
-
virtually a full strength side
thank fuck fit that
-
It's interesting. And brave.
-
We are going to get murdered. Absolutely murdered. Jesus
-
Not unhappy with this at all . Come on Villa
-
Kodija might be on his way out?
-
Kodija might be on his way out?
No might about it.
-
I revise my pre match prediction of a 3-0 defeat.
It will be 5 or 6
-
Kodija might be on his way out?
Well you would think so. No hogan either
-
Good to see we have gone full strength, but still got a bit of an uneasy feeling about this one.
Can only presume Kodjia is injured or is on his way.
-
Kodja not even in squad !? Must have really ran his socks off against Fulham :)
-
Well there’s no doubt that Dean is going for it.
-
Kodija might be on his way out?
WM say he's fit.
Typical of us though to get rid of him before we actually sign a new striker!
-
My hopeful hat says we have agreed a deal for Benteke and Kodija is on his way to recoup some wages.
-
3-7-0 system lol
Smith has finally found a way to not have to play any of our 'strikers'
Sadly it just makes room for an extra awful winger!
-
Back to 3 at the back then.
Are we the only British club to NOT player with a striker?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking but if that's "are we the only British club to play without a striker" then the answer is no, we're not even the only club in this round of this tournament to do it.
-
it’s pleased me no end that Kodjia is not in
-
Kodija might be on his way out?
I think he's been on his way for a good while and given we have only one fit forward on staff he isn't being risked/used tonight. And if tonight works he may never be seen again. As soon as we buy a forward or two, he'll be gone.
-
I can't get excited about this game in any way shape or form. I just hope it's not too much of a demoralising defeat.
-
All the backbone of a jelly fish in you lot.
-
3-4-3
No striker.
-
Back to 3 at the back then.

You miss Man City twatting Yanited without a striker last night?
-
El-Ghazi up front? A few on here have called to try it out in the past.
Well he's no winger so it's worth a try.
3-4-2-1 is my guess from that team selection.
-
Is that Grealish up front on his own in the centre? Could be interesting.
-
Leicester
Schmeichel (c), Ricardo, Evans, Söyüncü, Fuchs, Chilwell, Praet, Tielemans, Pérez, Maddison, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Justin, Benković, Choudhury, Albrighton, Barnes, Iheanacho
Looks like their strongest side. With Fuchs in, is Rodgers matching us formation wise?
-

I know but struggle to compare Trezeguet with Stirling or El Ghazi with Mahrez.
Still, fingers crossed eh?
-
Shocked that Cam has not been given a chance as there is no Kodjia.
-
The Barley Mow, powered by than Moretti, is a bit more confident. Or maybe we're clattered.
-
No Maddison?
-
El-Ghazi up front? A few on here have called to try it out in the past.
Well he's no winger so it's worth a try.
3-4-2-1 is my guess from that team selection.
I'd rather Trez up front, AEG has been awful lately in front of goal.
-
No Maddison?
No.
Yes, he is playing
-
My hopeful hat says we have agreed a deal for Benteke and Kodija is on his way to recoup some wages.
We must be close to getting someone in upfront, next 48 hours I reckon although not much of our thinking regarding strikers has really made sense to me since Tammy got recalled so we'll see.
Kodj also been linked to Beskitas a few times in last year, we want Vida from their side so perhaps a swop deal.
-

Well he's no winger so it's worth a try.
3-4-2-1 is my guess from that team selection.
Can't see what else he could have done. Must mean Kodjia will be gone very soon and a new forward will be in. The only trouble tonight is if this plan fails, the bench offers very little. Come on lads, keep it interesting for the next leg. UTV.

Chillwell will play on the left wing I think so remains 4-2-3-1.
-
FFS you negative bloody ninnies
He’s going for it , the game is on , we’re in with a shout of Wembley and a trophy . It’s a semi final .
Come on Villa . In Smith we trust .
Negative ninnies be gone from this thread !!!
-
The manager found a formation that worked and he's using it with a full side and trying something a bit different. Whatever the result he's having a go and that'll do for me.
-
So because we are missing the defensive might of Kodjia, we will suddenly ship a few more goals?
-
Chelsea and Palace have stated that won't release any forwards until replacements are signed first. I hope there's forwards incoming immediately if Kodjia is sold? We've fucked the forward choices already last August, so it'd be pretty stupid if no forward comes in first?
-
El-Ghazi up front? A few on here have called to try it out in the past. Glad were back to 3-4-3
I was one of them so happy with the side picked tonight. A look at the bench highlights the need for urgent signings, mind. Targett must be injured still?

Back on Sunday after his latest two week rest.
-
Guess The Crowd would like your guesses about tonight’s game👍💖😀👏💕🎸🎄🎵🐺😁💡😈🤪🥎🦁😀🥇💗💗💕
-
If Kodjia is on his way, surely we need 2 strikers in?
-
Looks like smith was reading the thread where I suggested Grealish in the Cantona creative number 9 role 😉😂
-
We’re going to get bummed.
-
We’re going to get bummed.
Yup.
-
Well, I suppose that's one way to address the issue of losing your first-choice centre-forward.
I'm actually excited to see how we do with it, as it will surely force us to play a bit more rather than relying on a forward to win hopeful balls, but I swear if I see us simply lobbing up to whoever is in the middle of the front three, expecting them to get anything out of Soyuncu and Evans, I reserve the right to lose my shit.
Come on you Villa boys!
-
DS has got some balls, I give him that!
-
We'll batter the fox hunting crisp eating clapper clapping twunts.
They've got free flags and some disco lights tonight.
-
We are 10/1 on Betfair.

What about whinging winnies?
-
Puzzling. Even if Kodj was off you would think he would still have him on the bench. Maybe Dean has fallen out with him
-
I feel Sky tv already think there is one team that matters tonight, and a clue is it’s not the away one.
-
Quite like that team. Not sure we could field much better given what we currently have available.
Looks like Leicester have matches us up 3-4-3. Might be an issue with centre backs isolated 1v1 against Vardy if we don’t get it right. Could also give Jack a lot of space on the other hand.
-
No Maddison?
No.
Yes, he is playing
Yes.
No, he’s not not playing.

Vardy v Mings, 1 on 1? I'll take those odds.*
*Strictly in that scenario.
-
Dean said the best way to play against Leicester is to go for it and attack.
I disagree, I consider this to be fool hardy against a counter attacking team with a player like Vardy.
At least we have extra cover in central defense with the three. Makes for an interesting evening.
-
Is Vardys wife still a slag? Can we sing that again?
-
Glad Kodjia has been bombed out. He's a waste of a squad number anyway, who cares if he's leaving before we sign a replacement. He's a lazy fucker and will never get a sniff of playing in the top flight again at his age, so you'd think he'd have at least put some effort in at some point.
Oh and he scored a couple against Liverpool's U23s, big deal.
-
And fartarsing fannies?

Jesus. Wtf has he done to you, apart from being 'lazy' in your opinion?
*He scored in the last game also, btw. It was going in when El Ghazi "made sure". Don't personally understand all the hate for him, but each to their own.
-
Let’s go for the Villa.
-
Size of Emile Heskey, fucking hell!
-
Just keep them to 2 or less Villa.
-

Maybe, or he's injured, sick or being protected for league games.
-
Shocked that Cam has not been given a chance as there is no Kodjia.
I think it's just Vassilev has hit form at the right time. 4 in 3 for the U23s.
-
Kodjia ill, apparently, according to Dean.
-
Kodjia ill then.
-
DS has got some balls, I give him that!
I must say Dean, I’ve got to admire your balls.
-
We'll batter the fox hunting crisp eating clapper clapping twunts.

Flag wankers.
-

This half.
-

Cam is a natural striker and offers far more, for me.
-
Kodjia has been less than he was due to serious injury. Before going to the ACN he was a very good player with a bad injury. He was told not to play in the ACN but he did and effectively ruined a very promising career.
-
Kodjia ill, you could predict it in a way!

He's a decent enough player at Championship level, just not the player he was for us 3 years ago.
-

Agreed. Easy to forget that he was simply outstanding at times for us when healthy and in top form. He clearly hasn't got it back. Not saying his attitude couldn't be better, but you have to wonder as an athlete what that does to you when one day you are scoring freely and running past defenders with ease, and the next you can't do any of those things.
-
Kodjia hasn't been bombed from the squad - he's ill....
-
This will be an interesting game, don't know what Leicester's centre half's will do with no possible striker to mark.
-

Doesn't make him a lazy fucker though, does it? Surely the opposite, if he wanted to play when he was advised not to.
For the record, just to show how easily a story can be spun one way or the other, another example of a player who played through injury to help his team and potentially ruined his career was James Chester - but we applaud him for it, since he did it for the Villa.
Sorry but I don't have it in me to beat Kodjia up because he wanted to play football, when other people want to call him lazy for not wanting it enough.
-
From the Graun: "Dean Smith has a chat. It sounds like a bus-parking exercise is in store:
We haven’t got any centre-forwards at the moment. Kod came off the training field ill yesterday. We’ve got our forward-thinking players on the pitch and hopefully they can be as good as Manchester City were last night. We’ve got no choice [but to play a false nine], as I say we haven’t got any centre-forwards. That’s where we are in the forward ranks at the moment. It’s a balance of wanting to try and win the game and also to be cautious. We’re aware it’s a two-legged affair and we want to go back to Villa Park with our own fans behind us."
-
All the backbone of a jelly fish in you lot.
General Patton there with a pep talk for the fans.
-
We are going to get murdered. Absolutely murdered. Jesus
So what line up would you have gone for ?
-
Yes we do, Dean. You played one of them for about 10 minutes against Crewe and he did really well.
-
right sorry chaps but I’m going to put the mockers on it tonight
by saying I’ve got a good feeling about this
-
Rodgers very respectful. Fair play to him.
-

I don’t think he is that bad. Put it this way I reckon if he had played all the games that Wes had played this season he would have scored more goals than Wes.
-

Same here, John. It's the Villa Way.

There must be a word in The Meaning of Liff for the confidence for a win that you always feel just before kick off, despite all the odds.

Good summaries.
He did well for us and has not been the same since the injury
-
Lee Hendrie mentioning Grealish playing for Man United is getting on my tits if he didn't already.

👍

3.2
And then we take them back and batter them with our new strike force.
-

Maybe later.

I'll have a bit of this, Grealish as a false 9. He's got the skills.
-

Lee is alright....one of us
A number of Leicester's best players linked to Man United too, Man United are an average mid table club these days and those being linked would be mental to consider them.
-
Streams a bit shit
-
El ghazi already looking unwilling to press!
-
Jack on the left. Not liking that.
-
Good evening everybody. Slimming world nachos consumed, I’m now in the mood to see a tonking.
-
That was intelligent by konsa
-
Obvious lack of striker is obvious.
-
Fucking Nakamba loses the ball and ambles back.
-
Marvelous not busting a gut in that move.
-
Stop giving the ball away!!
-
Nakamba has got to be better than that!!!
-
Can someone remind me why we didn't buy another striker? Going into the season with our strike force is like going to the South Pole just wearing a vest and pants.
-

Don't be daft. They weren't wearing pants!
-
Drum wankers.
-
Marvelous at what exactly. You have to ask
-
Brilliantly done by Guilbert, that.
-
We’d be loads better if we had some good players
-
Luiz and Marvellous are so lightweight.
-
Leicester close
-
Marvelous at what exactly. You have to ask
Nigel Reo-Coker impersonations?
-
Nakamba again. FFS
-
You're a wee bit ahead of me. All created by Marvelous being shite.
-
How many times this season has we got ourselves in trouble by pissfarting about on the edge of our area?
-
Is Marvellous drunk?
-
Drum wankers.
Despite Lineker, crisps, Matt Elliott, Savage I still had a modicum of like left. Not now.
-
Taylor waiting to take that throw in is one of our longest periods of possession so far.
-
Fucking hell, seen enough of Nakamba in this now. 14 mins in. He'll be our undoing, there must be something better on the bench................right?
-
I hope I never have to have surgery performed by a Leicester fan if that's where they think a hand is.
-
Is Marvellous drunk?
Having a horrible start anyway
-
Constantly giving the ball away so far.
-
Marvelous. Isn't.
-
Do we work on passing in training??
-
Constantly giving the ball away so far.
It’s like they’ve been coached to do that. We are bloody good at it.
-
Do we work on passing in training??
No the lads just play 5-a-sides and smile for photo ops.
-
Marvellous marking empty space yet again.
-
Villa resurgent!
-
Constantly giving the ball away so far.
It’s like they’ve been coached to do that. We are bloody good at it.
it's like the ball is a foot grenade. Get rid, quick!!
-
Is Marvellous drunk?
It's marvelous to drink water.
-
Marvellous marking empty space yet again.
"Zonal"
-
Sloppy and nearly concede
-
Nakamba is a Fcukin disaster zone.
-
Fucking shit Nakamba
-
Nakamba! Oh my god!
-
Get Nakamba off for a dust bin. Would be just as useful.
-
Nakamba you fucking gobshite.
-
Nakamba WTF?
-
I'm now understanding the drinkwater loan
-
Sounds like Nakamba is having a blinder.
-
The latest ‘won a season at a PL club’ raffle goes to...
-
If anyone was given the wrong Christian name at birth ......
-
Nakamba!! What are you doing???
-
Nakamba haa been dreadful for weeks. Bloody suicde from him there
-
Luiz and Nakamba are a special class of garbage tonight.
-
It’s as if AEG isn’t a centre forward
-
El Ghazi, the wimp. 6 foot 2, made of poo.
-
Get him off for Chester or Conor before he gifts them a goal.
-
Apart from Jack we haven’t got any player that can keep or pass the ball
-
El Ghazi is hopeless.
-
Get Nakamba off ffs! Complete liability.
-
Worries me that you never see Grealish talking to a struggling player like Nakamba. He can't just lead 'by example' as captain, if someone is clearly having a mare then he needs to have a word - either to encourage or give a bollocking, where necessary.
-
Great save by Nyland
-
Get him off for Chester or Conor before he gifts them a goal.
Konsa can play center mid so get him at centre mid and bring in another cb
-
Save Nyland!
-
Great block Nyland
-
Nakamba is a joke of a player, “winner of a competition ...” etc
-
Amazed Vardy didn't score then.
-
Men against boys so far.
-
Well done Orjan. Fuck me we're shite though.
-
Jesus Marvellous has to be drunk.
-
Looks ominous this.
-
Has Nakamba forgotten how to play football? Saved, Nyland. My stream is a minute or two behind.
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
-

Anybody with legs will do.
-
Well done to Mings being vocal. Someone fucking needs to.
-
2-0 to us now Lee.
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
Don't fear. We might have Gestede for the second leg.
-
I think Mings and Guilbert are doing ok
-
Well done to Mings being vocal. Someone fucking needs to.
Very true
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
It’s going to be like holding on to a really urgent turd for another 110 mins.
-
Makes you realise how important this transfer window is.
-
Laptop has just turned itself off. Probably a blessing.
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
???
-
Despite some dodgy individual performances I actually think we look more solid with this shape
-
Like the Muppet Show at the moment.
-
Good work from Grealish.
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
Are you sure?
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
No extra time?
-
I opted to go out for a meal rather than watch. So far it sounds like a great choice.
-
Despite some dodgy individual performances I actually think we look more solid with this shape
Yep, just about
-
We defend well but the amount of times we give the ball is away is truly shocking.
-
Just another 110 minutes to hold on and then it’s a penalty shoot out. We can do it.
Bit more than 110...only to find, Albion style, that we don't have any strikers to take them?
-
When is someone going to give fucking Vardy a good old fashioned dig? Our ball out of defence is a joke. Our defendets seem to have an uncanny knack of finding a blue shirt.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Hold the ball up FFS
-
Think our shape has been ok without the ball. They haven't got in around the sides or behind us yet.
Konsa ball watching again for that chance. Nakamba has been horrendous, has no idea how to play holding midfield role.
-
Gooooooaaaaallllllllllazzzzzo
-
Wow
-
You beauty come on you Villa boys!!!!!!
-
Get in Freddie lad!
-
Lol
-
Fuckin yesssssssssssssssss
-
Fuck my old boots
-
Fredddddddie!
-
Guilberto!!!
-
Well we’re more solid, but will we out score them? Probably not. We must get a striker before the Man City game.
-
Bastard laptop. Missed the GOAL!
-
Get the fuck in! Guilbert!
-
We have been far the better side. What the actual fuck!!!!!!!
-
Have that you fucking fuckers
-
Get in there. Fuck you commentators and the fucking drum has gone fucking quiet. ******.
-
holy Holy shit, great goal!!!!!!
-
Get the fuck in !!!!! Fredddy!!!
-
Fucking get in Gilbeeeeeeeeeert!!! You beauty. Now can someone clatter that little prick Vardy please?
-
I'll tell you what. El Ghazi's done brilliantly there. That cross was fantastic under pressure.
-
That's a superb cross from AEG.
-
Bloody hell!
-
Let's fucking get it.
-
Villa fans at the game very loud
-
Once again the very shit AEG is involved in one of our goals.
-
Nakamba still doing crazy things with the ball, mind.
-
Fans well loud 👏👏👏👏👏
-
Taylor FFS!!
-
Ha ha hilarious.
-
That was actually a really nice goal. Great work from AEG to our new striker Freddie G.
-
Another promising position stopped by Taylor
-
Villa fans at the game very loud
They always are, they're consistently brilliant.
-
I really like Guilbert. Going to be a cult figure at Villa.
-
Hmm. Grealish looks gassed all of a sudden?
-
Negative ninnies , you just took one hell of a beating
-
Sounds like home game - a loud home game!
-
Well would you believe it!
-
Mings has got out of bed the wrong side today, giving Nyland loads.
-
Nicely done Trezeguet
-
Tackle Marvellous you useless fuck.
-
AEG booked
-
Good tackle El Ghazi.
-
Negative ninnies , you just took one hell of a beating
Yes well done big man, you're so much better than everyone else. Fan of the year, eight days in. Call the engravers for me would you?
-
Whatever happens I love this formation
-
If Trezeguet going to go past a player, win a free kick, win a throw or pass to a Villa player at any point?

Negative ninnies , you just took one hell of a beating
Yes well done big man, you're so much better than everyone else. Fan of the year, eight days in. Call the engravers for me would you?
Now, now ladies!!
-
If Trezeguet going to go past a player, win a free kick, win a throw or pass to a Villa player at any point?
You want the moon on a stick you do.
-
Whatever happens I love this formation
Yes, purchase players to supplement it.

You ok hun ?
-
Anyone else seeing the coaching staff having disagreements with smith in technical area every now and then. Smith gave them short shrift at one point
-
Vardy booked
-

Yes, purchase players to supplement it.
Just imagine it without Marvellous
-
Vardy booked
He's a dirty shit. Becoming my least favourite player.
-
Marv seems to be settling down a bit now
-
Anyone else seeing the coaching staff having disagreements with smith in technical area every now and then. Smith gave them short shrift at one point
Fulham Saturday Smith gave Terry a right mouthful.
-
This formation with replacements for Nakamba, Trezeguet and Taylor, and we might be half decent
-
That’s blood Ricardo, get off
-
We hit the bar!
-

Oh aye? What about?
-
Drinkwatered it (hit the bar).
-
We're Aston Villa, we're taking the piss....!
-
This formation with replacements for Nakamba, Trezeguet and Taylor, and we might be half decent
We spent £14m on a replacement for Taylor!
Shit, header off the bar.
-
Oh fuck. we should be two up.
-
Unlucky Konsa. That was well worked.
-
Are we sure ours is the Luiz Pep Guardiola wanted so much?
I really want him to do well but except those brilliant long range goals, it hasn’t really happened for him.
-
Drinkwatered it (hit the bar).
Like it.
Let’s hope we Drinkwater it against Man City (get 3 points).
-

Good replacements, sorry
-
That was so unlucky. You can see our confidence starting to grow
-
We hit the bar!
We bloody well did. WTF is going on?!
-
Bad tempered game this. Can see red cards ahead.
-
Drinkwatered it (hit the bar).
Like it.
Let’s hope we Drinkwater it against Man City (get 3 points).
Let's hope Kelly Brooke comes round and peels my potatoes (we win the Carabao Cup)
-

I think there's a player there but he definitely has work to do on his all-round game. His performances are very patchy.

-

He's a bit naive at times but you must surely see the quality on the ball and in making space for himself. If he can get a bit more streetwise he'll be a steal for what he cost.
-
HT. That will do so far.
-
Well done, Villa.
-
That might have been going in if it wasn’t for Mings’ dome
-
Mings saved a goal there, basically.

I think in a team where you just have to do a few tippy tappy passes a game he’d probably look ok.
-
Beware the Ides of 46-50
-
Great block from Mings. that was going in. Good half.
-
Well done.
-
Well would you believe it.
Lovely.....
-
Well I have to say that 45 has surprised me. Keep it up Villa. Small Heath thread more obsessed with how "pathetic" our fans our for singing Liverpool and Man Utd songs. This coming from the club who scraped 7k vs Blackburn the other day.
-
Who needs a striker when you've got Guilbert, well done Freddie.
-
Well I never. After a shocking 25 minutes we scored and looked miles better after that. We're a lot more dynamic without Wesley in that front three.
-

He looks like he is struggling with the speed of the game.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s far from our worst player, but has been disappointing thus far.
-
However you look at this we've done very well thus far, 1-0 up, away, most importantly we haven't let Leicester get away from us, lets hope we keep building on this for the second half, thought we made Leicester look very ordinary in parts of the first 45.
-
I’ll take another 45 like that please AVFC
-
Happy with the first half, the passing improved as the half went on. Also starting to look a bit more confident on the ball.
-
I think young Maddison is wearing tights. The pussy.
-
Kodija might be on his way out?
Smith said he was ill after training yesterday
-
1 perfect half down, 3 more perfect halves to go. *praying hand thing
-
Need to switch on after the break.
Marvellous hooked now please Dean.
-
Well I can’t say I saw that H/T score coming. Shirley ‘the magic of the cup’ isn’t applicable these days? Well is it?! 😯
-
Rode our luck initially, but after the goal we've been the better team. Hopefully that wasn't our good half.
Noticed that Jack and AEG were switching positions too. I prefer Jack more in the middle and AEG on the left.
-
After Nakamba's first half display I'd happily see Drinkwater in there for the rest of the season.

That's kinda what I mean by naive, he can get a little bit overrun at times but I think he's well worth persevering with. I reckon he'll be one of our best players in a year or 2 so long as he can adapt.
-
Very encouraging. 7/10s all over the pitch
-
I'm out for me tea, sacrificed telly for nice food. Been 'watching' on a betting app. It shows player in possesion, movement, that kind of thing. A few observations...
Fuck me, Leicester are boring. Pass in your own half much?
We grew into the game. Early on, it looked like we couldn't string more than 2 passes together. But it got much, much better.
The goal. Pass, pass, pass, GOAL. The last player mentioned in the build up was Taylor! Had to have a quick goosey on here to check it wasn't really him!
Are they keeping Guilbert quiet? He's barely had a touch in their half, from what I've seen.
Anyway, fookin gerrin!!!
-
Is it me, or are these commentators sounding very critical and biased against us?
-
What would be really good is if Trezeguet was a footballer.
Other than carrying him, the others have battled well.
We are good value for this quarter time lead.
-

Don't think anyone's going to disagree with you there
-
This is the most organised I have seen the defence all season. Promising stuff
-
That passage of play on the far touchline when we knocked it around them and then spread it out wide was some of the best football we have played all season.
We had a bit of swagger
-
Is it me, or are these commentators sounding very critical and biased against us?
Always, but whatever. Fuck the fuckers.
-

Not being funny, but we are playing the semi final of a major cup competition and you're on a Small Heath site?
-

That gets said on virtually every match thread.
-
What would be really good is if Trezeguet was a footballer.
Other than carrying him, the others have battled well.

I reckon Trez will turn his defender in the second half and score.
-

With bells on
-
Are we sure ours is the Luiz Pep Guardiola wanted so much?

Improved as half went on. Working harder anyway, don't think he shows enough courage to get on the ball at times. Nakamba has settled a bit too.
Leicester will be changing formation at the break. Rodgers trying to be too clever with three but given we aren't playing with any traditional forward they are wasting a player. I'd expect Ihenacho to come in and maybe Albrighton too.
Like our shape. They are struggling to get in around us at the moment. Nothing out wide from them and their only chances are from our mistakes (Nakamba and Konsa).
-
I feel Nyland has earned his shirt and I think the club should give him a run at no 1 rather than bringing in another keeper
-
Is it me, or are these commentators sounding very critical and biased against us?
I stopped watching the Sky coverage, and found a Chinese site. I have very little idea what they're saying, but they definitely sound more positive about us!
-
That Andy Hinchcliffe must have been one hell of a player
-
What would be really good is if Trezeguet was a footballer.
Other than carrying him, the others have battled well.
We are good value for this quarter time lead.
He's working his nuts off for the team tracking back with the runners, it's not all about what you do with the ball.
-
I feel Nyland has earned his shirt and I think the club should give him a run at no 1 rather than bringing in another keeper
If he continues to keep us in this tie, then definitely.
-
TheFrench commentators are saying positive things about us. So yes the English ones must be biased. As has been saidfuck them.
-
I feel Nyland has earned his shirt and I think the club should give him a run at no 1 rather than bringing in another keeper
If it meant we could look at better options in different positions definitely.
-
That Andy Hinchcliffe must have been one hell of a player
Haha maybe he played for Hindsight F.C.
-
I thought Trezeguet played well in that half.
We looked like a team there, some individual mistakes but the players seem to have rediscovered a confidence in each other, which bodes well.
-
It’s been a bit rope a dope at times, but we are doing ok and could be 2-0 up. Very impressed with two players in particular but I’m not going to jinx them by naming them.
-
I think young Maddison is wearing tights. The pussy.
It’s a close run thing between Maddison and Jack in terms of effectiveness but without bias Jack is DEFFO more entertaining and aesthetically pleasing. He’s an art form on the ball!
-
From that first half, we looked a different team from December. We need Mings leadership at the back... his absence showed how vital he is to us.
-
Just bought my ticket for the home leg. Leicester's four second half goals are my fault.
-
They will return fired up to the max. The next 20 is going to be brutal viewing, fingers crossed we get a second on the counter.
-
Say thank you Mr Guillbert.
-
What would be really good is if Trezeguet was a footballer.
Other than carrying him, the others have battled well.
We are good value for this quarter time lead.
I reckon Trez will turn his defender in the second half and score.
Surely Evans can't outrun Trez every time
-
I always turn the sound down, can’t stand most commentators. There was once a time you could press the red button & choose to have just the crowd on, but now they force you to listen to their expert commentators!!
-
Don’t think Taylor has done anything wrong (yet)
-
After Nakamba's first half display I'd happily see Drinkwater in there for the rest of the season.
I don't think he was as bad as your making out. Some errors but plenty of good stuff. Theres too much scapegoating on here sometimes. We're winning 1-0 in the away leg. Enjoy it while you can.
-
Don’t think Taylor has done anything wrong (yet)
He hasn't but he will always be shit in some peoples eyes.
-
Rodgers making a switch to a back 4. Will Dean suss it?
-
There's something about Douglas Luiz's body shape and running stride that reminds me of Dennis Mortimer. Now if only...
-
Leicester start brightly
-
Usual post half time five minutes of doom.
-
How is that not a booking? Has he already been booked?
-

Scapegoating him for what? As you say, we're 1-0 up. He just had a poor first half, in my opinion.
-
This is getting me on edge... I'm already on my 4th alcohol free beer
-
I heard pre-match Tony Cottee saying how big a game it was and you could feel the tension around the Leicester camp and supporters. I think it showed early on and they showed us a lot of respect, either that or they were shitting themselves. Either way, apart from our central midfield two, everybody seems focused and we held our own. Great cross from El Ghazi and Fred only had to tap it in.
Not sure what to expect this half other than Leicester trying to step it up a gear or two. Jack scares the shit out of them.
-
Come on Villa, be alert and don't concede.
-
I wonder if Trez is carrying an injury as when he first joined us he was pretty quick but he now looks as if he is playing with lead divers boots on.
-
Don’t think Taylor has done anything wrong (yet)
He hasn't but he will always be shit in some peoples eyes.
There was his cross which not only failed to beat the first man but also gifted him possession. We've come to expect that from him though, so it's no biggie.
-
Is it me, or are these commentators sounding very critical and biased against us?
So I'm not the only one then !
-
Jack and Mings going at it
-
I hate this doom period at the start of the 2nd half
-
After Nakamba's first half display I'd happily see Drinkwater in there for the rest of the season.
I don't think he was as bad as your making out. Some errors but plenty of good stuff. Theres too much scapegoating on here sometimes. We're winning 1-0 in the away leg. Enjoy it while you can.
I’m enjoying this but Marvellous is utterly rubbish. Marking space and not putting his foot in.
-
Scrappy start to this second half, that suits us.

Yeah he really was shite first half, sorry Edge.
-
To be expected but the longer we hold them the more our confidence will grow. I worry if we concede one now the heads will go down. Come on boys!
-
Mings been a magnet to their crosses all night.
That's what we missed when he was injured.
-
Is it me, or are these commentators sounding very critical and biased against us?
So I'm not the only one then !
Leicester are the latest media darlings after their "fairytale" title win.
-
What happened to AEG? That looks very much like a broken nose.
-
We need to weather this storm a bit now. Start playing again.
-
Come on get one on the break.
-
Nyland saves
-
Now might be a good time for a sub Dean....
We've been here a few times this season!
-
Nyland has been great.
-
To be expected we are coming under some pressure, we will get a chance and we have to make sure we take it, there hearts will sink, essential we don't concede.
Come on Villa focus, tighten up.
-
Nyland unreal save.
-
We need to somehow get hold of the ball.
-
If I remember correctly, Nyland was playing really well just before he got injured last season.
-
Nakamba needs the hook.
-
Well done Nyland.
-
We need to somehow get hold of the ball.
Lansbury on?
......hahahaha jk.
-
Hoof...
-
I suppose it's parking the bus but we're doing it absolutely brilliantly.
-
Nyland has been great.
He’s not the same nervous bloke we saw when he arrived. He’s looked very assured this season.
-
Conor getting ready to come on, for Nakamba you'd assume.
-
Great take Nyland.
-
If I remember correctly, Nyland was playing really well just before he got injured last season.
He definitely deserves a run in the 1st team
-
No, it's Trez going off.
-
Conor getting ready to come on, for Nakamba you'd assume.
Not before time
-
Great catch from nyland
-
Nyland impeccable
-
If I remember correctly, Nyland was playing really well just before he got injured last season.
That one save he made at home to Reading was unreal.
-
I suppose it's parking the bus but we're doing it absolutely brilliantly.
Not sure how long we can maintain it but the overall discipline we’ve shown positionally has been really good. Our biggest issue remains not keeping the ball. Eventually that’s going to hurt us.
-
Conor on for Trez
-
Hmm. Hourihane. Hoping for set pieces I suppose.
-
Surprised they haven't put that Kelechi guy on, we couldn't handle him at VP and been good for Leicester in other games recently.
Hourihane coming on.
-
Marvellous stays on - WTF
-
We need to somehow get hold of the ball.
Lansbury on?
......hahahaha jk.
Haha. Oh no. It's too early in the morning here for such jokes.
-
The older I get the more nervous I get watching games. I think it must be the cyancism of age and experience replacing the optimism of youth.
-
Surprised they haven't put that Kelechi guy on, we couldn't handle him at VP and been good for Leicester in other games recently.
And he's just come on
-
Looks like Dean is worried about there full backs
-
Surprised they haven't put that Kelechi guy on, we couldn't handle him at VP and been good for Leicester in other games recently.
Hourihane coming on.
They must be monitoring this thread
-
Marvelous passing percentage must be at 5% tonight, woeful tonight.
-
Marvellous stays on - WTF
He's obviously doing the job he was asked to do? I dont know, this coaching lark is a mystery to me.
-
I'm the same Damo. I sit here shaking like a puppy who's just shit in the corner of the room.
-
Looks like Dean is worried about there full backs
Don’t think Chilwell has been in his own half since the break!
-
Get Evans booked, FFS.
-
Need a bit of composure. We're getting possession about once every two minutes right now and we're giving it STRAIGHT back to them. Hold on to it, give us a breather.
Just as I say that, Jack does just that and buys us a free kick...
-
AEG going off, injured. Vass coming on
-
Looks like Vassilev coming on, go on son.
-
Vardy looks like a noncey grandpa but he’s bloody quick.
-
Nyland saves again. Sub not done yet.
-
We should ban Taylor from the opposition half.
-
Riding our luck here.
-
On a wing and a prayer right now.
-
And sub done now.
-
Jesus, how many times did Taylor get beaten then?
-
Looking tired, been defending to long.
-
Mon Indie.
-
Fair play to Hamza Choudhury , no half measures that is the full hair bear bunch hairstyle he is rocking.
-
1-1, Luiz fucks up
-
FFS Luiz.
-
FFS Doug....
1-1.
-
Vas to score I reckon
-
Luiz you useless twat.
-
Luiz has been a liability all night
-
Luiz ya prick
-
You’re fucking joking, typical Villa goal to concede.
-
What a disgusting goal to give away. Pathetic Konsa and Luiz.
-
Fuck sake. Luiz.
-
Fucking wank.
-
Balls
-
Absolutely shocking from Luiz, he's been awful second half.
-
Oops.
-
Fed up of the half hearted and weak passes out every fucking game
-
Bollocks.
-
From our own free kick. It's enough to make you cry.
-
We do concede poor goals.
-
We are our own worst enemies against the better teams so often.
-
Mings just gave Luiz a proper mouthful.
-
Masters of our own downfall yet again
-
Wankers the pair of them
-
Absolutely typical Villa. FFS.
-
We've been asking for that, sloppy, still its 1-1 lets keep it that way
-
What a stupid mistake.
-
Mings ripping Luiz a new one
-
Luiz and Nakamba have been absolutely wank tonight. Let us down massively. It was only a matter of time before one of their fuck ups cost us.
-
We've worked our balls off and they again an uterly fucking stupid mistake does for us.
Jack hobbling.
-
Marv and Luiz are fucking shite. Liabilities the pair of them.
-
Mings just gave Luiz a proper mouthful.
Don't blame him.
-
Our own undoing yet again. Just keep your heads up now you tossers
-
What the actual fuck was that.
-
Luiz and Nakamba have been absolutely wank tonight. Let us down massively. It was only a matter of time before one of their fuck ups cost us.
They both need replacing. Absolutely wank, the pair of them.
-
Luiz and Nakamba have been absolutely wank tonight. Let us down massively. It was only a matter of time before one of their fuck ups cost us.
Still time for them to do it again
-
Not Luiz’s fault. A hospital ball if ever there was one.
-
1-1 would be a GREAT result right now.
-
Mings just gave Luiz a proper mouthful.
Not surprised because our back line have been excellent.
-
That would have been a bad goal to give away in League 2. I think Konsa was rattled by being booked for time wasting
-
I think that Citeh buy back clause is safe for now.
-
Only we could concede from our own free kick.
-
I’ve lost count of how many times this season we’ve given away goals from seemingly not being arsed, and most of it has been in second halves.
-
Poor all round, Konsa panicked after getting a booking and played a poor pass and Luiz wasn't aware of what was going on around him and even then I thought Hause let Inheanacho cut inside too easily.
-
Fucking konsa what a absolutely stupid pass and luiz wtf was that pathetic from the pair of them
How many fucking goals has luiz coat us this season from mistakes
-
Luiz really is slow as shit. Fucking useless. One step forward, two steps back.
-
We are so fucking naive. Shit.
-
Do away goals still count double?
-
Luiz and Nakamba have been absolutely wank tonight. Let us down massively. It was only a matter of time before one of their fuck ups cost us.
They both need replacing. Absolutely wank, the pair of them.
It would be great if we could get a refund on those two and Wes. Trio of shite.
-
That was just a rubbish goal to concede. Completely Villa in every way.
-
To incorrectly quote SGT, it only takes a second to fuck it up.
-
Do away goals still count double?
No
-
At least this explains Drinkwater. Our constant dawdling on the ball and seeming inability to win single 2nd ball has been our downfall so often this season.
-
We are consistently sloppy in pretty much every game.
-
Not Luiz’s fault. A hospital ball if ever there was one.
They were both equally at fault. Luiz dithered yet again, he never seems to learn.
-
Do away goals still count double?
No
-
Nakamaba fuck up and we get away with it
-
I’ve lost count of how many times this season we’ve given away goals from seemingly not being arsed, and most of it has been in second halves.
Jesus this is so true. Its so frustrating
-
Knife through butter that was, we are shattered and still to deep.
-
Nakamba. Again.
-
These are an angry bunch of twats, aren't they?
-
Luiz and nakamba can fuk off there our weak link.
-
Has Conor touched the round thing?
-
Nakamba too casual by far.
-
Nakamba is absolute fucking shit.
-
Our concentration always drops off because we’re not fit enough.
-
Just need some composure again now.
-
Ffs Doug you dozy twat. No surprise Iheanacho scored. He terrorised us at VP. The seasons where they have been in the prem while we've been in the championship they have developed a squad with a whole lot more quality & depth than us. It's clear just how much we are playing catch up right now.
-
God, how badly do we need a striker, and a decent central midfielder.
-
Vardy hits the side netting
-
Bloody cm is a mess without mcginn. We need him back asap
-
The other half of the Laurel and Hardy pair in midfield nearly giving away a second. Fucking shite. So many of the other players have done so well tonight.
-
I'm starting to believe a bag of cement is more effective in a defensive position than Nakamba.
-
God, how badly do we need a striker, and a decent central midfielder.
Drinkwater?
-
Some our players are slow as fuck.
-
Shit, I thought Vardy had put that one in the back of the net for a moment.
-
Bloody cm is a mess without mcginn. We need him back asap
. Or a couple of new ones would be nice
-
If we hold on for the 1-1 it will be a cracking result considering it's 9 v 13
-
Its now purely down to if they have enough in the tank to score.
-
We simply have too many players in our 11 massively inexperienced in this type of situation.
If Leicester are 1 up at VP with twenty minutes left they'd be going down every other minute with an injury, making three subs within ten minute period to kill the game and also making sure they control passes properly and are aware of who is behind them.
We acted scared too often when in the lead and only likes of Mings and Grealish seem to relish the situation which is why they're getting so rattled at the others for failing to step up.
-
Some our players are slow as fuck.
I think fitness and conditioning is more the issue
-
Shit, I thought Vardy had put that one in the back of the net for a moment.
So did all of the Walkers Stadium. Wankers
-
I’ve lost count of how many times this season we’ve given away goals from seemingly not being arsed, and most of it has been in second halves.
Lack of discipline and organisation, I'm afraid. Players far too comfortable.
-
Our concentration always drops off because we’re not fit enough.
Were fit enough but are always chasing the opposition regardless of who they are. Everyone is usually able to run rings around is with ease.
-
Luiz and Nakamba get caught on the ball too often, that's clear, but I have a bigger problem with the amount of passes we roll to them when they're stood still 30yards from our goal, it just invites the opposition to try to nip in and steal the ball and puts them under pressure in a poor position.
-
Some our players are slow as fuck.
I think fitness and conditioning is more the issue
What the fuck has this got to do with hair products?
-
Maddison is an excellent player. As is Tielemans.
-
Luiz and Nakamba have disappeared, no cover in front of the back 3
-
Nakamba done a pass.
-
Lansbury, Jesus.
-
Nakamaba off for Angela
-
Leicester’s ball retention and passing is streets ahead of ours
-
Some our players are slow as fuck.
I think fitness and conditioning is more the issue
What the fuck has this got to do with hair products?
Lansbury isint coming on is he?
-
Nice little passage of play there.
Lansbury on for Nakamba...
Glad we have DD coming on board.
-
Oh joy, our playboy arrives.
-
Here comes Murder She Wrote.
-
Lansbury and his scrupulously cultivated ‘footballer’ look.
-
3-1 to us on hairstyles.
-
Oh joy, our playboy arrives.
He has Premier League quality tattoos.
-
Every time Grealish gets the ball... foul, no booking.
-
Hinchcliffe talking shite as per
-
This is what we need keep the ball up field
-
Apart from jack, our midfield it terrible.
-
Nakamba done a pass.
Marvelous ;)
-
BBC 5L very complimentary about our defensive shape. England gets special mention.
-

Yep. Maybe Danny Drinkwater won't be the worst decision we could've made.
-
Tyrone Mings man of the match. Brilliant tonight. Luiz and Nakamba have let him down.
-
We don’t have a midfield apart from Jack
-
Mings
-
Luiz and Nakamba get caught on the ball too often, that's clear, but I have a bigger problem with the amount of passes we roll to them when they're stood still 30yards from our goal, it just invites the opposition to try to nip in and steal the ball and puts them under pressure in a poor position.
They’ve been shite tonight whether under a bit of pressure or none at all. I suppose consistency is the key !

Nyland too mate.

Yes, very true.

We need a niggly bastard like Vardy up front.

Was hoping that Konsa song had been forgotten. 😒
-
The racist Konsa song getting an airing, which is lovely.

Wherever there are twats, mate...
-
Konza ‘song’ unfortunately getting an outing then? Still it’s all bantz innit?
-
Was hoping that Konsa song had been forgotten. 😒
Surely not from the away fans.... Was it? Very disappointing if so.
-
Keep the fuckers out Villa.

Idiots. Absolute idiots. What the heck is wrong with people.

Why would the Leicester fans be signing the Konsa song?
-
I don't think Leicester fans are going to know a song about Konsa?

The Leicester fans are hardly going to sing it.
-

Agree. Twats

FT
-
I’ll take that.
-
So effectively it's a one off home tie in the Semi.
-
Well, I think we've got away with one there. A TERRIBLE goal to give away, but given the way the game played out, I think we're lucky they didn't score elsewhere.
Mings imperious and Nyland very solid - he can make the 1 shirt his own for the rest of the season playing like that.
-
Decent result but Guilbert looks absolutely livid!!
-
Good stuff, Villa. Showed plenty of fight, there. Considering the injury list, that's an excellent result.
-
To be fair, a 1-1 is a great result and about fair. Which means we’ve played well enough to deserve it.
Nyland MOTM, all 3 cb very good especially Mings. Jack excellent too, full backs not bad, El Ghazi not bad, Trez pretty poor and the midfield 2 were pretty terrible.
-
Hard draining game, well done Villa
-
Still very much in the tie and a good confidence boosting result away to a team who are having an excellent season. I thought Nyland had a very good game.

That's not really what I meant pal. I'd only heard it from the home fans to date, which in my experience is where the wankers are. Ok?
-
Well done boys. Great effort. Like the defensive shape we get from 3 at the back.
Great noise from the Villa fans. Superb!
-
Mings and Nyland superb! Disappointing result, should have been 2-1. Still promising
-
Thank fuck.
I like our guys in central defence.
-
Nyland 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
-
Well done Villa UTV
-
In the circumstances a good result.
The match stats make grim reading though.
Possession 70/30% Leic
Shots 21\3 Leic
On target 6/1 Leic
Corners 11/0 Leic
Tells you everything really!
