Aston Villa vs Leicester City Match Thread

We're going to break that Holte End scoring duck. I can feel it. C'mon Villa!

That's The Matsui End, if you please.

Will we score a second half goal?

What I don't get about some of the people on here, nzog is the only person willing to turn and face up a defender at the moment. Yes that means he may lose it occasionally but invariably he will draw a man or 2, make space for others etc. that doesn't make him the weak link, it makes him our gamble. We have Westwood, cleverly, Sanchez etc to play the safe pass. I really think people need to give him a break as he can be the difference in games like this

That's maybe what is supposed to happen.  It mostly doesn't though, as N'Zogbia is just dire.

I've just seen someone wearing a scarf even worse than half and half scarves. A Villa scarf that also has the badge of every other PL club on it!

Is it a woman? No man would wear it.

It was a bloke.

I can only imagine the  FTSE 100 companies and other multi-national conglomerates queuing up to sponsor our half-empty stands.

Fight, fight wherever you may be, we are the boys of the Kentucky Fried Chicken are we...

72% possession - 1 effort on target. A change of tactics and we would piss this.

It's the midfield that's our problem. Not one of the central 3 wants to attack. They all want to 'quarterback'. We need a lampard esc player who wants to make runs beyond the ball!! I have lost count of the amount of sideways and backwards passes. For some reason not many want to commit beyond the ball.........

Cleverley passes the ball sideways and moves back wards, same as Sanchez and Westwood,  they have obviously been told to keep possession more than attack. Hutton is making more forward movement than our midfield.

[pauliewalnuts]

I wonder, will we ever score more than once in a game again?

[lovejoy]

Leicester look even worse than Burnley. We'll win this no problem.

Like the Burnely game?

[JUAN PABLO]

knee injury for westwood

[Jimbo]

Benteke looks like he's from another planet among this lot sometimes. He'll be looking to be among his own kind as soon as possible.

[Matt Collins]

Movement and pace of passing very poor at start of this half.

As I type that, a very good move. Richardson and Benteke prepared to take a chance with a forward pass

[Smirker]

Okore is excellent.
