Aston Villa v Leicester City Match Thread

[paul_e]

I'm struggling to remember the last time we gifted a side 4 goals like we have today. And it's fuck all to do with not strengthening, as every goal was because of supposedly better players.

Absolutely, this result has absolutey fuck all to do with the transfer window (or with Sinisalo being on the bench).

[Nelly]

Ugh. I really dislike Leicester.

[aj2k77]

Fucking crap. A January where EVERYONE knew we needed a Striker. We piss around, as we always seem to do, with a million and one excuses and the next game we miss chance after chance, defend like chuckle brothers and get hammered by crisp wankers. We move as a club at glacially slow that's why it's two steps forward and two steps backwards.

If Kamara is injured or has a bad game we don't really have anything else.

But it's just been weird. The actual play, the run of the game, the working of the space etc, we've been brilliant. Then we actually get to either end and we've looked like Buster Keaton in zero gravity.

[SoccerHQ]

This is the most Villa-ery performance ever. Fucking dreadful.

Yep.

Chelsea 0-0 and Liverpool imploding at Wolves so chance to go above both and we chuck in this display.

Hard to believe but we were leading this pretty comfortably.

Not good timing considering it's Man. City and Arsenal next.

This club lack so much mentality. No good giving it the big one in the press about europe and chucking in games like this.

[Risso]

Pathetic performance. Lots of running around but not much more.

Gerrard Out!

Defensively speaking, as bad as Fulham. Emery has been completely out thought by Rodgers.

[Malandro]

We may need a striker but we have a pair of absolute jokers in central defence.

[kippaxvilla2]

We are no safe yet.  That January window is going to bite us well and truly on the arse.

You really think we'll fail to get 12 or so points from 18 games?

I panic easily but everyone below us has strengthened in January im concerned.

And he’s no tactical genius.

And now Duran out for the season

The essential upgrade we needed at left-back (allegedly) was wholly at fault for the goal that ended our interest in the game.

So there's that bit.

This is why almost none of those at the back will be playing for us in 18 months time. Hopefully. Absolute dog shit defending. Gifted an absolute shithouse Leicester team 4 goals & 3 points. They should all be fined a months wages for dereliction if duty... Although, with the chances we have blown, the only people to blame for that defeat is ourselves. Gifted them the win at both ends of the pitch... Fucking fuming.

Yep, that’s the problem.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Kamara was due a bad game. And Leicester clearly targeted him and pressured him into numerous errors. He will learn from this as he is too good a player.

It's a shame it happened on the same day Luiz decided he could stroll around saving his energy for Carnival.

For what? We win two more games and we stay up. We did that three weeks ago.

It's very us though to blow a chance to get above Chelsea and Liverpool though with this sort of display.

Not going to be challenging seriously for europe in coming seasons if we chuck in defensive displays like this at key times in a season.
