Leicester City vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

That reserve Leicester keeper is dodgy. We need to pepper shots on him and some will get through.

Us? Pepper shots? I'm guessing you haven't been to a home game since the nineties.

With due respect to Leicester current run of good play, results  and form of their players I think their GK issues and set up could see a 3 or more goal occurrence for Villa. Unfortunately for the foxes marhez is away on afcon duty and his attacking display been impressive . As leicester  play 4 4 2 they are being  left  open in midfield when they look to press when villa have the ball.  Villa plan to dominate the possession will mean villa will dominate this middle  area with both Westwood and sanchez. Against a team that will tire from pressing  oportunties can occur for the attacking players.
1-4 VILLLA

This game is away.
Think we actually managed quite a few shots against Leicester the other week

Cambiasso injured. Good. Bonus for us. Still a goalless draw though.

Ooooo, is there a game tomorrow?

5-0. Remember it well - Crouch got a couple I think? And wasn't it the game where that idiot came on the pitch to remonstrate with the Leicester keeper (Ian Walker)?

Think he did and then I'm sure he was dropped and never appeared for us again.

1-1.  Deehan for us, Lynex for them.

1-1.  Deehan for us, Lynex for them.

one of the first games I went in the holte was a midweek league cup tie against Leicester - finished in a draw and I think lynex scored for them. We won on penalties eventually. I loved it.

He used to live next door to my mate in Nuneaton too, for a while.

Lambert will go to keep a clean sheet, we will piss around with possession without doing anything with it and they will score from 1 of their few efforts on goal which will be enough to beat us. 1-0 Leicester

Wont Leicester play Schwarzer?


Must win game after our recent form and considering the next few games.

[tom jennings III]

So, likely starting line-up then?
-----------Guzan------------
Hutton Okore Clarke Sissoko
----Sanchez Westwood----
--------Cleverly--------
---Cole Benteke Gabby---

Ideally I'd like Gabby, N'Zog and Clevers on the bench but that seems extremely unlikely.

[Matt Collins]

I'd go

Guzan - Hutton Okore clark cissokho - westwood sanchez - Weimann cole gabby - benteke

Weimann is the weakest link and I'd consider bacuna on the right

[VillaAlways]

2-0 Leicester. A goal in each half. Just can't see us scoring.

Seems likely and he'll probably play a blinder and we'll lose 1-0

[silhillvilla]

Very windy , we must keep the ball on the deck which should suit our new style of play.
