Leicester v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[ROBBO]

He should have gone a couple of months ago probably too late now, a terrible first half display and he keeps the same set up until the sixtieth minute, Leicester are winning the game and they bring Vardy on before any Villa change. I still believe these players are good enough to keep us up but not under this manager he is making decent players look like amateurs.

Read the 2nd paragraph and weep.

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith speaking to BBC Sport: "A disappointing night, a disappointing scoreline. After the performance in the cup final against Manchester City we thought that might be a turning point. We started well in the first 10 minutes. They took over possession and control of the game. We were solid behind the ball but they were a threat from set-pieces.

"A problem for us this season is defending them. We gave away two or three free headers. We’ve been working on it. Individual mistakes are costing us. We need to get better.

"We made a mistake for the first goal. Pepe came out for a ball he wasn’t going to get and made Barnes’ goal easy. One of my biggest regrets was how we gave the ball away so cheaply against a team who want the football.

"We made a big error. Teams capitalise on our errors. We’ve probably made more individual errors than anyone his season. We were still in it, 1-0 down at half-time. Then they’re given a penalty. It’s very, very harsh. It’s his shoulder. It’s a poor decision. They got it wrong.

"When they get the second, it’s a massive moment.

"The scoreline is a tad harsh on us. We’ve got to make sure we’re tougher to beat that we were. We went 4-4-2 chasing the game at 2-0 and it became a bit basketball, end to end. Then they scored a goal out of nothing. Vardy had four of our players around him. At 3-0 their fans are cock-a-hoop and they’re playing celebrity football."

We're down. Conceding goals all season and now they're drying up at the other end too. Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless.

That’s what happens when you recruit and depend on shit like Wesley, Nakamba, Trezeguet, Engels, Luiz, Targett and Guilbert.

No one at this club had a fucking clue and the only people who give a shit are in the stands and can’t do anything about it.

Dean is a stubborn fool who made his bed forcing Wesley into the side when he couldn’t even trap a fucking ball.

So many clowns to blame but this horror show will go on well into 2021.. and hopefully not any longer.

Get Maradona in, maybe he’ll get coked up and slap some sense into these sad saps.

Well if the players are good enough to keep us up then it's not too late.  Changing the manager now is our last chance.

Guilbert and Targett can not play in a back 4 with a 1 dimensional slow midfield. They bomb forward at every opportunity and leave us wide open. I fucking hate this 4-3-3, we have looked shite all season with it.

They looked much better in the 3-4-3, but it should be a 3-5-2 with Samatta and Davis up front.

We are the absolute masters of isolater our forwards aswell, how the fuck can we spend £30m on strikers and not create anything for them.

30 ml and the poor fuckers spend the majority of the game running around chasing defenders with little to no service

Starting Elmo ffs he has no fucking pace in the slightest , at best he is almost capable at winback but a winger ...dear god no.He also gave Guilbert sod all protection.We stuck Grealish out on the left again and they double marked him and if he did get the ball he was kicked in area's miles from the goal.
They completely nullified out the left hand side

Whats criminal is after the shitty fh we come out with the same team again and carry on being just as shit.Smith evidently can not coach defence , can sort out the midfield , can coach a team to supply a striker , can't make in game decisions. The season was going to be hard but this isn't just losing now we are being pissed on time and time again..we go down he will bring us back up ..will he fuck we carry on like this we will go down with a completely demoralised squad which will be picked apart of its best players it will take us months to get some form again.

I think this is a good summary.   We are down.    And no point having Smith anymore.   I know it’s very very unpleasant but get Big Sam in tomorrow   

[vilan461]

sorry but unless there are widespread changes this side will certainly take us down!!

With all due respect, that’s what January is for.

It’s fucking March and we haven’t gotten a point in weeks.

Yes sorry am so annoyed about that display  meant to say changes in desire effort pride and commitment but am so pi***d off with them,its affecting me thinking

I don't think the players are good enough.

[ChicagoLion]

I think there is more than enough talent in this squad to stay up.
Sadly we’do not have the management organization and leadership to achieve that.

After a recent match I posted that Tyrone Mings is a Billy Big Bollocks. Some on here thought I was being ironic.

I WAS NOT. I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A NON-TEAM PLAYER IN MY 54 YEARS OF SUPPORTING VILLA. I HATE THE ******.

[Damo70]

They have to get rid of him tonight. They have nothing to lose, they are down if they don't. Get Big Sam in tmrw on a short term keep us up get a massive bonus deal, (he likes money). Forget the style of play & we're Villa bollocks. We need to try something and it is pretty much our last hope.

I said we should have brought Big Sam in weeks back. At no point this season have we looked like we could comfortably stay up and we have sleepwalked ourselves to almost certain relegation. I thought tonight we were clueless, gutless and simply not good enough.

Nonsense.

[tomd2103]

Anobody want to rewind and agree that Premiership security is better than getting to a cup final?  And losing it.

Can't see any correlation there.  There's every chance we would have been like this if we had lost earlier in that competition.

Sorry, that was a reply to one of Leeg's posts which has now disappeared.  Dunno what happened there.

[TonyD]

As Bad English said in his post.  Tonight we lost Jack.  That is hard to swallow.  Probably one of the best players in the world, one of ours truly and we will never see him at his pomp in our shirt.

Even Messi couldn’t lift Argentina.
