Leicester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Percy McCarthy]

Great goal by Jack, magic goal by Gil. Almost worth watching MOTD2 for. And to see if and where the pundits apportion the blame. Hopefully they get someone on who knows enough about us to do a decent analysis. I'm not holding my breath.

Just got home. Thank you to Redsox and Leeg for a great day apart from that 20 mins.

It's rare that pretty much every post is in agreement! Very obvious what went wrong today

Do think Amavi is going to cost us a few.

One of the worrying things was that at the crucial time, at 2-1, we had all the players on the field we needed, if it were Clark and Baker at CH then it could be argued that we only needed a bit more experience to see us stop conceding silly goals, we only need a decent defensive midfielder to protect them etc, etc.

Today we had all we thought we needed and still came up well short.

I honestly think going 2 up was the worst thing that could've happened to us as funny as it sounds. I honestly though Sherwood at that point thought the game was won, we were on easy street and he could start giving minutes to some of our attackers.

I can't believe at 1 up and under the cosh he would've maybe the same changes. Would we have held on at 1-0, maybe not but those subs were ridiculous.

Okay I take back my point about everyone being in agreement. I don't think we had everyone on the pitch we needed in the slightest. That was the problem

and what the fuck is going on with our fitness?

they just seem to want to play for Sherwood

My tweet at 0-2.
I know villa too well to get excited just yet #avfc

Sherwood is just a mockney chancer isn't he, tactically he's fucking clueless .
I don't ever want to see Bacuna at RB ever again. That was ghastly 85 mins from him. Guzan is a busted flush at this level .
Sanchez makes such horrendous personal errors I'm not sure we can risk playing him .
Westwood has not improved in 3 years , he came from League one and that's his true level. He is also the latest in a long line of shite floaty nothing corner takers.
Ayew looks as I've always thought absolute dross. He doesn't even resemble a football player .
The whole team for that last 30 mins lost their heads, lost all shape, purpose, composure, you name it they lost it . Sherwood though is 100% at fault for this today. Absolutely embarrassed yet again.

We had experience and players who could, or should, be able to retain the ball and see that game out, all over the field. We lacked desire, not sure if that can be coached.

westwood's level is not league 1

[four fornicholl]

for desire replace fitness?

[silhillvilla]

westwood's level is not league 1

It's definitely not premier league .

That last 20 minutes was as bad as anything i've seen in the last 5 years. The defence was ripped to bits at will. I dread to think what the score would have been if there was more time left.
