Aston Villa vs Leicester City Match Thread

[Risso]

I've got to say Leicesters closing down is superb. They've driven our attacking players out the game. Ayew has been marked out the game. Gil is powder puff and panics when he gets closed down. They've got a great work ethic as well as some quality to go with it.

Gil is rubbish. Provides absolutely nothing.

[DB]

Bacuna offers nothing, apart from giving the ball away. We want too much time on the ball, Leicester won't let you have it.

It has dawned on me how truly shit the bench is.

thinking the same

[Chris Jameson]

We're fucked. We are awful.

[dicedlam]

I give them credit for the work rate, but we are a very, very poor side.

[pauliewalnuts]

Outclassed...by Leicester City.

I don't know if you've been paying much attention to the season so far but......

[Boz]

Quicker to the ball than Villa, less misplaced passes and physically more imposing. Remi, put a rocket up their backsides

[Matt Collins]

It's hard to see where the goals will come from to keep us up. The lack of a pacey proper number 9 was my biggest concern in the summer and it's definitely what I'd be looking at signing on loan

[Nii Lamptey]

Richards for Westwood 2nd half and put Bacuna in middle? Not much of an option is it?! 

[oldham_villa]

Two teams poles apart, confidence wise.

We need to get more zip with our football, going forward. Although Bacuna has been solid we need more gusto going forward, so I'd bring our captain on

The goal we conceded was a shocker

[CT]

I thought Westwood was going to do an "Escape to Victory" overhead kick earlier!

Pele's effort didn't end up in the top of the stand though.

Can't see how we're gonna get much from this.

[jwarry]

That was crap but wasn't Vardy offside for their goal?

[LeeS]

Football is a game of two halves. We're going to get battered in the second.

[kippaxvilla2]

When I see we are 11 points from safety at the start of play the game is irrelevant anyway.  Obviously the players didn't have to demonstrate that in the first half.

[Nelly]

I feel we needed something more solid in midfield. We're trying to work the wings but not having any joy. Leicester have been very solid. The lob attempt was class and it was a good save just to keep it out. Bunn also saved a penalty which is fantastic!

I don't know what we can do to change it, maybe bring Sanchez on for Westwood to try and get some prescence in midfield.
