Aston Villa v Leicester City Pre-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

The one thing for sure is we have to worker every bit as hard as we did vs Palace. Otherwise Leicester will win. This is going to be very tough.

At least now people complaining about the chairman not being at games will need to find another topic to complain about with as much vigour.

Agreed on both points.

"He hasn't got enough hair for my liking"

"How many bald successful chairmen do you know?" etc..

Hope we win but in reality 2-1 to Leicester.

[Deano's Mullet]

we aren't suddenly world beaters but I strangely don't think we'll lose either. 1-1 draw

After the smug bollocks from a Lest o fan a couple of wrungs above me at work earlier, I hope we bugger their goldfish!

Leicester have only lost two league games all season, not bad for a team that hasn't cost an absolute fortune. I think it will be 0-0.

[Brian Taylor]

The next 2 games will decide our fate (4 points from Leicester and the Albion games, will give us a chance), if we lose both then I cant see us having any chance of surviving.

Lets go for it, what have we got to lose!

2-1 Villa

When you ain't got nothing; you got nothing to lose.

If we play like we did against Palace then 1-1.

If we revert back to type then a 2 or 3 goal loss i'm afraid.

[auntiesledd]

I hope Mr G goes with the same starting 11 as Tuesbury eve. If they play with the same level of commitment and confidence (!) they showed in the second half t'other night I can see us getting something from the game. If not, Vardey & co will rip us a second wotsit. Fingers crossed eh?

They have been incredibly lucky with injuries. Their squad depth hasn't been tested; what happens if Mahrez and Vardy get injured?

The bring in somenody like Ulloa, Okazaki or Kramaric. They spent £18m across those three. They probably wouldn't be as effective, but nor would any team in the league if their two best players were taken away from them.

What do Spurs do if Eriksen and Kane get injured?

....They probably wouldn't be as effective, but nor would any team in the league if their two best players were taken away from them.....

Exactly. And here Villa are with Amavi and now Traore, the only players we have - that I've seen - who can whip a ball into the mixer, out on long term injuries.
