Aston Villa vs Leicester City Post-Match Thread

[DB]

Just got back, glad to get the win. With chances we created we should have been more comfortable for the last 10mins or so...why can't we see games off? Charles was pap, Jack has to start next week. All of the defence was superb, Sissoko got turned a couple of times, once resulted in there goal.

We played a shit side and we still need to improve.

I'm assuming it will be Andi back in next week.

Delighted with the 3 points, the first half performance, noteable performances from Brad, Hutton, Clark and Jores. Even Cissokho started getting crosses in, something I've been screaming out for from him.

Sanchez looked great today, possibly his best game for us. Westwood and Cleverly played their part and Richardson did his best, he'll always put a shift in. The less said about Charles the better though I didn't think today he was any worse than normal. Grealish, for all his talent is still finding his feet at this level but he didn't let anybody down, probably saving it for next week when he'll score the winner from 20 yards.

Good to see the strikers finally get some decent service. Felt sorry for Benteke as he was desperate to score. Gabby found space and linked up well, constantly giving their defence something to worry about.

My only complaint was how we finished the last 15-20 minutes. We really should have ripped them a new one but losing both Westwood and Cleverly probably didn't help and with Sanchez forced to drop deeper we lost somebody that could drive forward through the centre with the ball.

Whisper it very, very quietly but since Keane left we've actually started to pass the ball.. and you know what, we're not half as bad as we've tried to look. Take a bow, Scott Marshall.

Good to come from behind and win. Some good individual performances. Sloppy at times and lacking a bit of movement going forward. Pleased with the win, should have been more. Glad to see us going in the right direction.

We need to consolidate this with a win at WBA now.

3 wins in a row. Dare we dream?

Yeah it was a suspension? I would still like to see Jack start.

Yep, 1 match ban for accumulated yellows.

Happy with the win of course. CNZ proved again he offers nothing and we should be looking to move him on in January. Thought 3/4 of the defence were excellent with Sissoko, still having a wobble. To be fair to Cleverly he was carrying a knock for the majority of the time he was on the pitch. I am convinced there is a decent player in there and he might still deliver. We are a different team with Benteke on the pitch and he is our most important player, just hope something changes off the pitch which means we can keep him long term. I like Jack a lot and glad he was given a decent run out. Great ball in for Benteke's header. I personally would have started him today against a poor, low confidence team. Would I in a local derby or against Man Ute? Not sure.

Relieved to get the win, but even against a poor Leicester team we were still clinging on at the end.  Don't get me wrong, we more than deserved the win, but I just wish we could make things easier for ourselves when closing a game out.

Oh just to add I do love watching Sánchez, looks like a guy playing on the beach and having fun. He is getting there so fair play to PL, lets have a couple more gems in January please.

Good 3 points but so it should have been - 10 of their players were playing a league below this time last year.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Okore and Clark were tremendous and Hutton is fastly becoming my favourite player, onwards and upwards!

We are crap against lower league opposition so let's just savour the win.

[Rigadon]

We looked convincing for the first time all season.  Good win, well done all.

[PaulWinch again]

Sanchez is really settling in well now.
