Haven’t been on the match thread but I thought that was a terrible sub by Smith. The CH on Jack’s side had been booked, was ripe for a second yellow, and Smith put Trezeguet over there and Grealish on the other side. Turned out alright though so I’ll let him off.

Was wondering the same for last 10 mins. Particularly after Trez feeble effort with his left earlier. Rode our luck early on with Nyland making some brilliant saves. But we always looked a threat going forward. Thought we dominated second half until they scored the equaliser. Jack a colussus. Smith deserves a lot of credit, tactically he owned Rodgers tonight. Overloaded our left side and all three subs contributed. Great night, hopefully acts as a real confidence boost for Saturday!

Nyland 9 - top quality saves early on, the one from Tielemans particularly
Guilbert 7 - very solid as per usual but let Barnes get away from him too easily for their equaliser
Konsa 7 - solid game throughout, concentration levels not a problem tonight, missed a good chance
Mings 7 - daft mistake early on but settled
Hause 5 - bombscare in possession and positionally all over the place at times
Targett 8 - outstanding in first half including a final goal, a player I've been very critical of in the past
Nakamba 7 - slow start as we struggled to get to grips with their midfield but once he settled he did fine
Luiz 6 - far too indisciplined for my liking, runners off the back of him all night. Happier further up the pitch but we need a lot more from him
AEG 6 - lively enough in the first half with decent deliveries but drifted out of the game
Samatta 4 - big ask to come straight in but needs must. Decent athlete anyway but was off the pace of the game. Missed a sitter which I'm hoping he can put behind me quickly
Grealish 9.5 - different class, brilliant assist. Some of his play was outrageous, best player on pitch by miles.
Davis 7 - this lad is a player, no doubt about it. Doesn't matter the level, the ball sticks to him and he knocks defenders out of the way. Would start him Saturday
Trez 7 - brilliant winner, not much else besides but who cares
Elmo 7 - calm from the moment he came on and a superb assist. A great pro for us.

Very harsh on Samatta.  He wasn't poor by any stretch.

Sorry to everyone on our road apart from one for my exuberant outburst earlier. It went way in excess of the Young celebration. GET. IN. THERE!

Nyland was superb in the first half but thanks to a great 2nd half from Villa he did not have much to do during this time. Or have i missed something.

Crikey, some very conservative marks in there. They all played well and played their part with some outstanding performances.

That’s more like it PWS.

What the fuck was Rodgers doing every 2 minutes with his pad?

Everyone gets a 7 out of 10 or higher, that was a magnificent performance. Nyland pulled off some world class saves, probably one of the best I've ever seen. Grealish was easily the best player on the pitch, pulling all the strings. Targett's best game for us. Samatta looks promising. And Trez deserves nothing more than that winning goal.

Finally, fuck off Vardy, you Steptoe-faced twat!
