Leicester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[brian green]

I am starting to have doubts about Sherwood.   Well, it is one doubt really.  His ego gets in the way of his judgement.  It is very common for people who make bad mistakes on a regular basis to do so because they think  wrongly that they have innate good judgement.   There is no such thing.  The facts are the facts, the circumstances are the circumstances.  A decision is not a good decision just because you made it.   I think what Tim Sherwood needs more than anything else is a massive dose of humility.  I suspect Wilkins does try to tell him but he ignores him.  If Sherwood wants to think about just one thing, he should think about all the flannel he came out with when he came to us about "a defeatist mentality" and "constant relegation battles".   You are the man in charge now Mr Sherwood, show us how you are better than managers of the recent past.   Shut your gob, stop looking for Redknapp style media arse licking and make the simple basic things a formality.

The midfield two completely lost it second half, in so much as daft errors cost us yet again. Far too deep and let them run off them time and again second half.

Momentum is huge. They play 100 mph football, back to front as quick as they can, they're on a great run, so don't gift them space or gift them easy goals.

Absolutely chucked it away.

The midfield two did lose it. But they needed help. They were knackered.

[PaulWinch again]

Thing is the substitutions did kill us, but we were faltering before that. There was some really poor play from Sanchez, Bacuna and Guzan in particular.

As soon as the ole's start we are fucked. At the time all I could think of was when we were 4-1 up against the same team and drew. At least we got a point that time.

[David_Nab]

This is relegation form ,infact we have been shit since the Liverpool cup win.

Bacuna what the actual fuck is he doing in the team , he looks dodgy every time the ball is near him.He is an accident waiting to happen he is only in ahead of Hutton as Time wants attacking full backs ..well news flash he is offering fuck all attacking wise as well.

Guzan ...disgraceful you simply as a keeper have to either take everyone out and win the ball or stay on your line.Now maybe ,maybe if the striker is like Benteke or lukaku a tall big lump good in the air then maybe you could of gotten unlucky ..but 5ft 5 Dyer ..jog the fuck on .not acceptable not even close.

Sherwood first he takes off Sanchez and lose's game to Palace and now repeats the feat here.Ayew was an awful sub he is clearly not up to speed yet and a game being played as this one was ,wasn't the time to give him game time.The individual mistakes he commented on after the game should include his choice and timing of subs.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Whilst I lay the blame of defeat with Sherwood, he's also the guy who sorted the tactics and team for the first half. He need to quickly learn how to change things appropriately.

But I want to know why they're so knackered. Look at Leicester's players. They ran all game and they did plenty of ball chasing in the first half. There's no excuse for our lack of fitness.

The game was entertaining and played with heart and skill, but we fuc*ed it up from the 0-2, and it is all fault of Sherwood and the always more pathetic Guzan.

It is incredible how Sherwood is tactically inept. Ranieri, that is not Pep Guardiola, but knows the ABC of football, destroyed him.
With his crazy  substitutions TS gave the key of the midfield to Leicester.
Ayew for Gil was abysmal. Ayew is useful like an ass without hole or a third tit for a woman. He got the wrong sport, he can not even keep the ball.
It is quite clear that the 16 millions spent for him and Gestede have been thrown away.
And we needed a decent keeper.

Anyhow, with Gil, Grealish and Adama (plus Guana and Veretout) we have a lot of talent in the midfield, and if only Sherwood improved we can still do something good. At least we play an entertaining, passing football, much better than under Lambert.....

Felt sorry for Westwood and Sanchez in the last 25 minutes. Ayew, Grealish and Sinclair gave them zero support and were the worst culprits at giving the ball away. A change of shape to 4-5-1 and better cover for the full backs and it was won. It looked more like 4-2-4 the amount of space they had in our half.

[PeterWithe]

In Westwood and Sanchez we should have had enough midfield cover, they were both poor second half.

Similarities with Sunderland really; same result of last season, but achieved in a completely different manner.

I must of done something terrible in a previous life for this keep on happening

You only missed out Amavi who seems to have a habit of having one brilliant first half followed by a second where he looks like a headless chicken. And people wonder why Sanchez and Westwood looked knackered.

[maigrait]

When they got the first goal back you knew we were in trouble. I think we have some nice creativity now but need to learn when to shut up shop. Both manager and players
