Aston Villa v Leicester City Match Thread

[Aldridge Villa]

Criminal no Nakamba in starting X1 today.

[cdbearsfan]

Should have scored there.

[wince]

Leicester are our bloody kryptonite when we have a downturn in fortunes. Still a long way to go but why so lethargic? I’ve said before building a team around one player is all well and good but we need a plan b

[N'ZMAV]

to be fair - they're pretty much all playing shite.

Although, I do feel for Watkins.

[SamTheMouse]

Barkley seems to be one of those players who looks great when his teammates are flying, but becomes a passenger whenever the going gets tough.

Doesn't work anything like hard enough for me. He should take a leaf out of his mate Grealish's book.

[ChicagoLion]

We set up to play shite

[montague]

I didn’t expect to won’t today. I’ll absolutely accept that but what I hate above all things is when we fall apart it’s utterly dreadful how fast it happens. And if you look at the displays of the last few weeks you could argue something like this has been coming. Last weekend was shit against a bottom feeder where we should have lost by a few. Today is going to be where we pay a hefty price.

We have been poor since the first half at Burnley and the points we have got since have been from a backs to the wall effort

I think over the last couple of weeks we have become the team most expected us to be this season.
The saddest thing will be to see us slip down the table in the second half of the season and undo all the superb work of the first 18 games

Arrogant team selection and formation by Smith. So avoidable.

[kippaxvilla2]

Right now I’m thinking thank God we have got 36 points.

[Risso]

What the fuck was that El Ghazi.

[NorthYvillan]

Arrogant team selection and formation by Smith. So avoidable.

What??? Arrogant??? Poor maybe but arrogant??

[German James]

Lacklustre and uninventive more than arrogant, I'd say. Let's see if he's got the balls to change it at halftime. There's nothing really to lose.

[devilla]

Wasted by McGinn.

[wince]

Smith doesn’t do draws. It’s win or lose. Let’s hope it isn’t yet another winless run.
