Aston Villa v Leicester City Post Match Thread

[curiousorange]

I'm more likely to win the lottery tonight, and I haven't bought a ticket.

[Axl Rose]

Chances of us beating Man City away. Less than zero.

Agreed. We'll get absolutely battered with our pathetic defence if they don't learn how to defend this upcoming week.

We made a lot of errors and Kamara had shocker, but Watkins has to score that tap-in open goal and Bailey has to put his foot through that ball played to him by the penalty spot. These players cost us countless points over and over.

Mistakes happen and we are going to lose, but it's so frustrating when we had the chances to make up for them.

 

[Drummond]

Unacceptably shite and entirely predictable.

Oh, what odds did you get? You'll have made a few quid on that.

Hard to believe we were actually leading in that game and looking comfortable.

Bit like a re-run of Liverpool at home. Against sides that press well in midfield and move the ball quickly our high line gets exposed big time.

No idea how we didn't score second half but that sums up our lack of clinical edge in final third. Ollie taking an hour to get his shot away from a lovely throughball was poor and why so many of us get frustrated with him even in games when he scores and creates.

Just another in endless decade of frustration. Chance to go above Liverpool and Chelsea with three points and we chuck in our worst defensive performance for months with a top class player giving away two goals pretty much.

Classic classic Villa.

A bit fed up of how negative people are. Beginning to think the likes of Wenger wouldn't have been given time here.

I don't think that anyone is in the least bit concerned about the manager.

I haven't read one comment saying Emery isn't a great manager.  Maybe somebody has written such a comment, but I haven't read it.

Emery is a great manager.  It feels like we fucked up the transfer window (momentum, lost.  Again.)  Those two things can both be true. 

Agree, I've haven't seen a single negative post about having Emery as manager. Bizarre comment.

That may be true, but now we have Emery El Maestro, who will only encourage players and be positive with them, rather than the SG tough love psychology. I believe the players are all aware, and it is beneficial that we have a coach who will look to develop and teach rather than some rookie who seeks to blame.

What was wrong with the Coutinho 'goal'?  It looked OK to me in real time and on the one replay I saw of it?

My money is on Villa to beat Man City next sunday.
It's how things go in football especially after defeat today

We weren’t shit. But good grief we made 4 massive errors and they took full advantage. A little like that Spurs game at home. We did more than enough in attack to win 2 games. But those errors were truly terrible and punished.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

On the whole I was more disappointed in our defending than our profligacy in front of goal. And Buendia was brilliant for three quarters.

Agreed. I expect our defence to be a lot more solid and organised than they were today; considering our front two I'm not really surprised we miss so many sitters. Buendia had one of his best games in a Villa shirt for a very long time.

Not sure what the plan was today. We looked so disjointed, too many players in the same place, complete lack of movement, schoolboy errors, the Kamara-Luiz axis looked as poor as any midfield partnership we've seen in years. Both far too casual. Somebody needs to tell Luiz he needs to dominate the midfield not cruise his way through a game. 

[Chris_Jephcott]

We really badgered that one up.

Feeling very frustrated.

Luiz offside

[Skerra]

No, we won the toss again and decided to kick towards the Holte again. This is something that really needs to stop!!
