Aston Villa vs Leicester City Match Thread

Oh come on they are only 3 points ahead of us ffs.

[SoccerHQ]

There will be a conversation at HT if we keep giving them the ball.

I'd like things to change now otherwise we'll go in 1-2 down. Just waiting until half time is DS tactic. We have enough midfielders, drop a couple deeper and get in level.

I don't think the problem is the passer, it's that we're not moving well enough to create space. Too many times one of our players has looked up and taken extra touches waiting for someone to make a pass for them.

It going ok, but listening on Radio 5, and I hate Clinton Morrison's commentary.

Some think he is biased, I couldn't possibly say....

[pauliewalnuts]

I've changed my mind, we are actually playing shit.

Can't give them so many chances.

[SamTheMouse]

We can't get near them. The midfield is getting strolled through time and again.

[mr-villa]

Barnes and Maddison have been told to run Csh ragged in the first half so Vardy can come on and rinse him in the second - and its working a treat.

[TonyD]

This is our bad half right?

You beat me to it. 

[kippaxvilla2]

Time and again we create our own problems when playing half decent sides.  When we pass it out from the back for example I hide behind the sofa.

[KevinGage]

Would take the 1-1 going into half time.

Not to go all Martin O'Neill, but if this was to carry on, I'd be tempted to put Konsa on Barnes.

Play Cash further up in place of Buendia. The latter is giving us nuisance value at best at the moment.

[TonyD]

Better

[sickbeggar]

Crap. Our midfield weakness showing itself up again

[Toronto Villa]

We give almost all opponents too much of the ball. It’s a leftover from the Dean Smith era. Why we don’t quickly close teams down when we don’t have the ball and why we have become so careless with it is beyond me because we were like that last season. Granted it helped Jack could keep the ball for long periods but the fall off is incredible.

Play Cash further up in place of Buendia. The latter is giving us nuisance value at best at the moment.

Funny how people see things differently.  I'd have said that Buendia is the only one of the three behind Watkins showing anything.

[SamTheMouse]

Shitty floaty balls into the box.
