Aston Villa vs Leicester City Pre-Match Thread

[supertom]

A quick bash on the unquestionable simulator that is Fifa, says that we will win 6-1 tomorrow. Zogbia with a double, Gabby and Cleverley continuing the scoring and Benteke getting a double late in the game.

I'll take that.

My game came up with a 2-2 draw. With me scoring a beauty of a volley and Nzobgia burying laser of a shot as he sprinted into the box picking up a Benteke through pass. I have no idea who scored for Leicester, I don't pay much attention to what happens in that half of the pitch, tracking back is not my thing.

Sounds like Zogbia might have a good one today.

If he's shit again I'm tossing my game out the window.

I love FIFA 15. Really wasn't sure at first but now after a solid 3 months of playing it I think it just may be the best one yet.

As for todays game, please win today Villa. I'm certainly not of the belief that we have turned some sort of corner long term but this is definitely a game we can win provided we try and score 2-3 as opposed to scoring once and then defending for 80 minutes.

With Weimann out, which 2 from 4 do we expect to start with Gabby behind Benteke: Grealish or Nzogbia or Richardson or Robinson?

I'd say N'Zogbia is next on the list, shouldn't be much of a problem - I've been impressed with him when he's played this season and he really helps give the team a forward drive without Delph around.

Please win

[Matt Collins]

I imagine westwood cleverley and sanchez plus n'zogbia gabby and bEnteke

Just not sure of the shape - 433, 4231 with cleverley in the no 10 role or more of a 442 with cleverley wide again

None of them are quite right. We could have done with Cole for this one. Perhaps GREALISH will come on at some stage

[silhillvilla]

Come on villa let's do this today .

[Chris Smith]

Please win

I'll add a pretty please if it helps.

Daft thing is a win today puts us above Everton, or as it was put to me by my son - top of the teams who might go down.

[JUAN PABLO]

Ive no idea how this is going to go . Leicester played some decent football in the week , in fact better than we did.

You would think its a home banker but this is my home town club and I've had so much shit from Leicester fans over the years
Where they were a bloody bogey team until we stuffed them 3 o and 5 0 one season.

The last game I saw live between us was a tight cup game where I think we won 3 2 and I had to sit in the Leicester end.

I reckon 1 1

And another thing please Lambert don't buy cleverly , use the money for Bolaise instead . I mentioned him when ever one was going on about Zaha and I said bolaise is the player to get for around two million . Get rid of nzogbia and spend the cleverly money on bolaise .



Ps bolaise wont be two million now 

[Mister E]

I really hope Charles does not play. I'd give Grealish a start in a roving role (not stuck out on the wing) and ask him to beat his man, find the channels for Bênteke and Gabby and do the unexpected.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Totally agree Mister E. Nzogbia must have the worst statistics for losing the ball. Grealish holds the ball up well and can play a ball into Benteke. Got a feeling he might start with Richardson ......

[Steve kirk]

Great opportunity for us to put some distance between ourselves and the bottom 3 but I think this could end in a stalemate so 1-1 for me, hopefully the Beast will have something to say about that and will prove me wrong

[Singapore Villa]

I am a little nervous about this one.  How many times during Lambert's management have we thought we have turned the corner only to balls up a 'winnable' match?  Let's hope I am wrong.

[peter w]

1-1

or 0-2 if it's 'typical Villa'.

Or 4-0 if we've turned the corner.

[Small Rodent]

I didn't realise Villa were playing today, or Swansea.

The way MOTD2 were talking I presumed it was West Ham v Leicester.
