Aston Villa v Leicester City Match Thread

[curiousorange]

Getting a regular chasing at home to Leicester fucking City makes me realise how much of a disadvantage it was to go shit at exactly the time we did.

[Malandro]

We can't keep the ball for more than five seconds. Awful.

El Ghazi strolling round like he's having a jog round Kingsbury Water Park. Hook him immediately.

[Risso]

If Barnes v Elmo was a boxing match they’d have stopped it by now.

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody hell.

[Bobby Boy]

There is absolutely no excuse so the half-arsed performances out there.

It is laboured, passive and lacking in energy.

Only Watkins of the midfield and forwards gives a shit.

No out ball beyond Watkins. McGinn having to work extra to cover for Ross the ambler Barkley. Sanson and Trez on.

[LeeB]

It’s so easy for them to get up the pitch.  None of our midfield are really pressing or winning a tackle. Watkins is trying at least but at least three of our midfield are passengers at the moment.

Match goes into slow motion when we get the ball.

Yes and yes.

Make a change Dean.

In last few weeks he seems to have slipped back into his bad old ways, naive team selections, not using subs at right times and not wanting to drop players based on reputation.

Has Craig Shakespeare gone on holiday as seems he'd knocked some sense into DS with some good gameplans but it's gone a bit wrong on that front lately.

[Rudy65]

Maybe we deserve it but by fuck, these commentators are doing my nuts in. Leicester season ticket holders?

They are awful. Talking crap. They’ve mentioned Ollie at WSM twice

[picicata]

Just keep the ball at the back for 60minutes and take the 2-0 loss

[Chris_Jephcott]

It says 'Do not use' on alternate seats on the bench. We should change it to 'Do not lose'.

I thought it was just where the substitutes sit as a reminder for Dean Smith not to use them.

[NorthYvillan]

El Ghazi strolling round like he's having a jog round Kingsbury Water Park. Hook him immediately.

He's having a significantly better game than Traore - although that is not saying very much

[Risso]

Time for Dean to grow a pair and make some early changes.

[PaulWinch again]

Slow passing across the back 4, first pass forward and the player either hoofs or loses it. Dreadful.
