Leicester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[aj2k77]

We must have conceded more last minute goals than any other PL club ever.

It's getting ridiculous this second half thing now.

Just looked it up and we've scored 52 and conceded 110 during the second half the last 3 years. 39 goals conceded in the last 10 minutes and only 13 scored. Fucking crap.

If the players melted because of the noise at Leicester we are fucked

Worrying we've dominated halves of football so convincingly and yet have 1 point out of 9 v Leicester, Palace and Sunderland.

Sunderland will be bottom 3, Palace will be fine and I reckon if Leicester had lost today that would've started their rapid downward spiral, delayed by the comeback now.

Not even the better teams in the league and we're struggling to get points on the board when we're properly dominating. Concerning.

To be honest I was a lot more concerned on 10th January when we were fortunate not to ship six against Leicester.

We miss Benteke

That was amazing! Aston Villa looked in control after two delightful goals from Jack and Gil (sorry!) but Leicester never quit and, inspired by the incredible Riyad Mahrez, they reeled Villa in, who lost their way when Tim Sherwood replaced Gil and Agbonlahor with Ayew and Gestede, leaving Grealish in a three-man midfield that was asking to be punished.

My point was that Leicester are almost unique in the way the crowd just roars on a relentless and very direct style. I think that from a 2-0 position against other sides we'd have been fine. Maybe

Mate that's nonsense.

[Matt Collins]

I don't think it is. They were absolutely relentless.

So what . It was Leicester FFS not the Nou Camp

We went quiet at 3-2, could have been a big factor.

I was there, as soon as we scored they were shit until we gifted them the first goal. They weren't impressive before their goal either with those wanky clapper things. Knobs.

Any set of fans are going to make some noise when your team is coming from behind against a side that is obviously committing footballing suicide.

Sadly, this is true. Great player and lovely goal but I fear, not a player for rolling his sleeves up and being combative, same as the ever so rated Ashley Westwood.

Sanchez was pretty solid upto about 60 mins then morphed into Sanchez 2014 model, loose passing, no awareness, monumental errors. It was painful viewing.

Agreed. I only watched it on telly, but the commentators were going on about the great atmosphere without realising it was all coming from the Villa fans.

He's struggling with fitness still. I just worry whether he'll ever get up to the level required to go 90 minutes every game. I have to give the benefit of doubt at the moment because he was late back to pre-season without much of a break, and he's just been on international duty. I would hope come Oct/Nov he won't be dying on his arse at 60 minutes.
