Leicester v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Nii Lamptey]

And just to make matters worse, ALL of our games are televised to the nation until at least the beginning of May.
Absolute fucking laughing stock.... again!

[RamboandBruno]

Down and out I’m afraid. 3/4 wins out of next 10 games, not a chance now. First time this season I’ve admitted to myself that we’re going down. Didn’t lay a glove on them after first 10 minutes. Reina had a car crash but goals were coming anyway. Penalty was harsh, but even before that we didn’t come out for second half with any belief. The amount of times we gave the ball away. And if the manager and players get slated on here, grealish has to be included. However good he’s been for large parts this season, he’s been awful last 2 games, it’s a cliche but it does look like he’s given up.

FFS!!!   Only bright spot, if large gatherings are banned we may not have to watch the car crash unfold at VP

That was terrible. Smith just cannot seem to switch things during a match when it’s clear we are getting battered. How the fook Guilbert and Luiz were still in the pitch at the end of the game I’ll never know both were terrible.
And this system at corners is just bloody ridiculous

[PeterWithe]

Started brightly then confidence leaked away from us after Rienas brain fart. Leicester were more aggressive, faster, stronger all over the park.

Guilbert has had a decent season but when he’s bad he’s terrible and this was him at his worst, awful decision making for the penalty and not enough desire to win the ball for the third.

When your a one man team and that man is off form, it ain’t pretty.

Difficult to see where we go from here if that’s the level of effort the players are willing to put in for the manager.

Nowhere near good enough.

[David_Nab]

Smith out ..that's all I have to offer

[CT]

We'll do well not to finish below Norwich.

Spineless charlatans from top to bottom.

[Legion]

Can we replay the season starting from August 2020?

[Bobby Boy]

Mind-numbingly awful. Scandalous.

2 decent chances for us in the first 8 minutes then an absolute horror show.

[Axl Rose]

Sigh.

[Goldie.7]

Team of pointing bottlers.

Complete and utter disgrace . Boys against men and humiliated in every position. Leicester are a very good team but we actually beat them not too long ago. Norwich beat them last week. They started very nervously and we missed two great chances. But after that we were crushed completely. Handed them two goals but they missed two sitters before then.

I'm not sure there is any saving this now. Grealish hardly tried a leg tonight at times. Mings was close to our worst player. We are on our fourth keeper who is arguably the worst of the lot by far. We play three at the back and our centre halves aren't good enough. We play a flat four at the back and our full backs aren't good enough. We play two in midfield or three and we aren't good enough. We go two up top and our midfield are completely destroyed. Do you know what, our players aren't good enough and aren't equipped for a physical battle.

Reina 2 - complete and utter pot bellied clown. Bringing him out of effective retirement was insane.
Guilbert 2 - destroyed all night long and pathetic effort at times
Engels 5 - reasonable enough
Mings 2 - horrendous. Here is a novel idea, when the ball is waist height try kicking it. Woeful in the air, no leadership.
Targett 4 - far from our worst but still hopeless
Nakamba 6 - not good enough but kept trying til the end so extra point(s) for that
Luiz 0 - a fraud of a footballer
Hourihane 4 - out of his depth
Elmo 4 - see above
Grealish 4 - MIA...zero leadership shown
Samatta 5 - tried hard

AEG, Davis ....zzzz

If anything sums up how much the players care it was Tyrone laughing and joking as he walked off at half time. What the actual fuck?
Other than Jack not one of them could play for any other club in the top flight. Most couldn’t do a job in the championship either.
Time should have been up for this management team ages ago. If only Smith wasn’t a Villa fan, he’d have been gone in January.
Play the under 23 team with Jack and Super John the rest of the season and let the useless fuckers in the first team rot.
Wankers the bloody lot of them.

[stussyboy]

What exactly does John Terry do?

[Duncan Shaw]

That stunk of relegation....we're gone.

[charlatan]

Four at the back doesn't work with two full backs who are much better as wing backs and let the opposition in behind them repeatedly without offering anything useful going forwards. It didn't work last weekend either. We were lucky not to get hammered there too.
