Leicester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[villadelph]

Fucking rubbish again from the manager, it's only 5 games in but how many stupid fucking substitutions have we made already? A start of Palace, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Leicester and we've got 4 fucking points. More late goals, more throwing away of points and fucking comebacks, I'm sick of the same old shit.

Said the same thing last week and people got angry at me. We are just pissing away points.

[Brend'Watkins]

New look Villa team same old fuck ups as the last God knows how many teams.  Why, when you have the game almost in the bag change things?  Ayew for Gil, what was that all about?  Don't start me on Bacuna.  But Guzan.  The one thing you had to do was collect that ball but you bottled it agains a midget.

[Goldie.7]

I blame DIM TIM

[PeterWithe]

Gil was fucked, fair enough bringing him off.

We lacked leadership and character those last minutes, plenty of experienced players there but Leicester wanted it far more than we did.

[SamTheMouse]

What I find remarkable is that Sherwood couldn't see that we were being physically dominated and didn't try to sure up the midfield. I do find it bizarre quite how badly Sanchez drops off the pace in a game.

Absolutely. I'm still mystified by our fitness levels. We seem to be at a real disadvantage in the latter stages of games.

[gpbarr]

Sherwood really has a lot to answer for - yes the style and play in general is better, but points for style don't count. That was a fuckin horrible substitution, one an amateur would not make. Cost us 3 points. 

[silhillvilla]

Don't think I can take much more of this humiliation

[lovejoy]

Too early for Sherwood out? Never thought he was up to it.

Jesus...

Expand please.

[Virgil Caine]

Someone needs to explain to me why you would replace Gil with Ayew instead of Veretout. Gil was struggling but we needed then to consolidate what we had rather than go for a glory win. Inexperience from the Manager and one he should learn from otherwise we will be in trouble.

[john2710]

Game lost when he takes Gil off & puts on Ayew, 2-0 up with 30 mins to got you kill the game. Basic decision making from Tim cost us the game. Midfield was overrun & he does nothing to address it. Naivity doesn't even begin to describe it.

Smallest guy on the pitch should never beat Guzan to that cross.

Sanchez is always fucked after 60 mins, if he can't last 90 he shouldn't be a premiership footballer.

[ktvillan]

Tactics Tim (oxymoron) and his magical substitutions strike again.  He's showing week after  week that he's completely out of his depth. And welcome back stupid Villa, let's give the opposition as many helping hands as we can.

Amavi is talented but stupid and reckless. Bacuna ditto but minus the talent

Why can everyone except Sherwood see that Sanchez is great for 65-70 minutes and then turns into the biggest liability on the pitch, a slow-motion ball repellant.

Ayew is yet to show he is worth 10 bob let alone 10m.

Sherwood can just fuck off back to London.

[Monty]

Our back line is cursed. No matter who we put in there, they're crap.

Then it must be the midfield who simply cannot keep other teams at arm's length.  Teams with their tails up just waltz through us at ease.

They were two against five in the second half. Tim, instead of helping them, sends on Gestede and Ayew, two players couldn't keep hold of the ball if you velcroed it to them.

[taylorsworkrate]

3 fucking league games in a row, Sherwood has been horrifically outperformed by the opposing manager at half time.

It's not fucking acceptable. What the fuck is Wilkins doing??!! Surely he can see how monumentally stupid Sherwood is being game after game, yet nothing fucking changes. Amavi played Mahrez out of the game in the first half, so Ranieri made the rather obvious move of making him more central. It should have been simple for Tim to realise, especially at 2-0, that another midfielder was needed to combat the threat?

Sherwood definitely appears to have a limit. He's got passion, and was right for the situation last season, but tactically is nowhere near a premier league standard manager.

[russon]

I don't blame Sherwood, I blame the players. Doesn't matter what tactics or formation you use, to bottle it from 0-2 and cruising is 100% down to them. We need a proper captain because every time we find ourselves in a pickle and needing some leadership we just find 11 shrinking violets. Absolutely pathetic.

[Matt Collins]

For all our fuck ups that Mahrez was the real difference though. We'd have won that game if it wasn't for him taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Just wish our players could have done some of that in the second half.

I agree, he's really flying

But in that situation you don't say - good luck with that chaps. you bring on a third central midfielder to protect the space better. Especially when 2-0 up

I'm really furious. We threw it away. They're not a good team. They've got a fantastic crowd and a great player in Mahrez.

Fucking hell Sherwood.
