Aston Villa vs Leicester City Post-Match Thread

[Rudy65]

Christ, what a difference a few wins and points makes. Really enjoyed todays game and all of a sudden football is wonderful again. Pity I cant bottle the feeling, its brill. I think the 6 one against Sunderland. was the last time I felt like this

Okore looks the business. He isn't just a defender he can really play. Quality

Loathed Clark in the past but he and baker have done well this season. They are just awful together. Keep them apart and they will be fine.

Beneteke is the difference. He is the fulcrum for everything. He is the attacking outlet and can play a bit as well, as evidence by the exquisite pass to Hutton. He keeps their defenders busy and allows Gabby to get into the game, as he did today.

Nzog needs to join the bomb squad. Awful. Cissokho worries me as well, he looks short on confidence.

Onwards and upwards

Finally, fair play to Kaspar. He will be in the prem next season even if Leicester aren't.

Sanchez is really settling in well now.

Probably our best midfielder today, Cleverly did alright too. Sorry to say Grealish did not impress me at all.

[Matt C]

Might be time to recall Gardner if we've lost Westwood for any length of time.

Jack needs a run of games

Yes people were slating Sanchez early on too, players need games.

[Lizz]

Happy with that.

[Legion]

Grealish did fine. I would have loved to see him cut back inside and try a shot instead of laying the ball out wide for Richardson at the end.

Hopefully you are both right. But yeah, in my eyes, not good tonight.

Thought Grealish was great when he came on. Comfortable with the ball, and willing to take players on. What's not to like !

I appreciated the energy but his misplaced passes and runs into the wrong places were the characteristics I saw most from him. He really didn't seem to get into the game at all. Anyways opinions. Glad other fans saw more positives than me.

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.

I like Carlos in a deep role but when he plays further forward he slows things down too much.

That rubbish through ball to Richardson?

[WarszaVillan]

Carlos was a very good signing, as basically have all Lambert's signings that have cost 4m or more: Vlaar, Benteke, Okore, Sanchez, Kozak.

[Chris Smith]

We are getting there, there is more of a team feel to our play rather than the reactive off the cuff stuff of a few weeks ago. Benteke makes such a difference, he allows us to play a completely different way. Slap a £500m price tag on him.

Hutton deservedly man of the match but most put in a shift although would like to mention Clark who is starting to fulfil his potential and Okore who looks like he could be something special.

Hanging on a bit at the end but injuries in midfield probably had a lot to do with that.

The Smith contingent enjoyed our day.

Good point. They both seemed determined to take the chance they have. High energy and focused all game. Very good from both.
