Aston Villa v Leicester City Match Thread

[Hampshire Villa]

I moan about this on far too many match threads but why do no refs give free kicks for 2-handed shoves in the back? The one from Castagne on AEG just was clear as can be and just got ignored.

Spot on

[Risso]

Long balls from Mings are not the way to go I feel.

[Edvard Remberg]

Barkley, WTF was that, lost all momentum in that attack because of that shit ball.

Get him off.

All the hard work,  and he squanders it

That fucker is invisible to refs if the game at their place was anything to go by, he could have about 6 bookings on Jack alone.

[Drummond]

One more for Luiz and he'll go. Time for Nakamba.

[NorthYvillan]

Come on Villa. Looking better.

(Couldn't look much worse to be frank

And great play from Targett to set it up. Matt one of two players who could be happy with their first half.

Agreed, he's been very consistent. Feel with Cash too, the goals probably won't happen. Elmo too passive.

He made crazy decisions for both goals. Challenging Konsa for a ball in the air for no reason. Barkley was dreadful for both goals, could easily have caught up with Maddison for the first breakaway.

Id love to know how Barnes fouling Dougie is a booking.

The referee is Michael Oliver so I think that tells you all you need to know.

Gone to shit again since the goal

[Risso]

One more for Luiz and he'll go. Time for Nakamba.

Agreed. His yellow wasn't even a foul, but seeing as it was given he should be taken off. He's getting nowhere near their midfield or attacking players, and is a late challenge waiting to happen.

[Hampshire Villa]

I would not be surprised to see Luiz sent off

[Ads]

And another player Barnes gets booked for kicking them.

[Bad English]

Fuck off ref. Never a yellow.

[CT]

Well done Harvey, could have been an extra in Platoon.

[Risso]

What a touch from Barnes that was.
