Leicester City vs Aston Villa LCSF 1st leg - Match Thread

[Confusious says]

I always turn the sound down, can’t stand most commentators. There was once a time you could press the red button & choose to have just the crowd on, but now they force you to listen to their expert commentators!!

Don’t think Taylor has done anything wrong (yet)

After Nakamba's first half display I'd happily see Drinkwater in there for the rest of the season.

I don't think he was as bad as your making out. Some errors but plenty of good stuff. Theres too much scapegoating on here sometimes. We're winning 1-0 in the away leg. Enjoy it while you can.

He hasn't but he will always be shit in some peoples eyes.

Rodgers making a switch to a back 4. Will Dean suss it?

[Flamingo Lane]

There's something about Douglas Luiz's body shape and running stride that reminds me of Dennis Mortimer.  Now if only...

[PeterWithesShin]

Leicester start brightly

[Risso]

Usual post half time five minutes of doom.

[Rigadon]

How is that not a booking?  Has he already been booked?

Scapegoating him for what?  As you say, we're 1-0 up.  He just had a poor first half, in my opinion.

This is getting me on edge... I'm already on my 4th alcohol free beer

I heard pre-match Tony Cottee saying how big a game it was and you could feel the tension around the Leicester camp and supporters. I think it showed early on and they showed us a lot of respect, either that or they were shitting themselves. Either way, apart from our central midfield two, everybody seems focused and we held our own. Great cross from El Ghazi and Fred only had to tap it in.

Not sure what to expect this half other than Leicester trying to step it up a gear or two. Jack scares the shit out of them.

Come on Villa, be alert and don't concede.

[Fred Crump]

I wonder if Trez is carrying an injury as when he first joined us he was pretty quick but he now looks as if he is playing with lead divers boots on.

There was his cross which not only failed to beat the first man but also gifted him possession.  We've come to expect that from him though, so it's no biggie.
