Aston Villa vs Leicester City Match Thread

I'm no football manager - I wouldn't take the pay-cut (lol) - but why do they need to get into them at half-time, why can't they just set them up right from the fucking outset?!

Merse talking about it being a try if this was Rugby League.

Fair enough, so.

[Villa Lew]

If there's no improvement after 10 mins then I'd put Sanson on.

It’s Villa?  Crap halves are part of the DNA.

Barnes and Maddison are a right handful. Desperately need to keep them quiet second half.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

One twelfth of a second under control…

Exactly! Oliver should have ignored VAR.

Not sure what we're doing in midfield with Dougie playing so wide left. It's certainly not helping us get a grip in midfield.

We were probably setting up to deal with Vardy and then starting Daka has thrown us a bit.

So what we're basically saying now is the next time villa are in the lead, force the opposition to shoot from distance so martinez catches it and then tell him to lay on the floor with one hand on it until the games over because there is nothing anyone can do to touch him? Ridiculous

Well, apart from being booked for time wasting.

The rule regarding the foul

 A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:

1. the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save

2. holding the ball in the outstretched open hand

3. bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air

A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hand(s).

Schmeichel just asking Oliver for his bank details.

It's not like we're playing Bradford City.

They finished 5th and won the FA cup last season. Inconsistant so far this but I'd happily swop 5-6 of our players for what they've got in their team.

We need to improve second half though.

All goalkeepers, with the exception of the bold Emi, can fuck off.

[Jon Crofts]

Fucking hell what is Mings doing there?

[kippaxvilla2]

Hiding behind the sofa again have we cleared it?

[KevinGage]

Fucks' sake Tyrone.
