Aston Villa v Leicester City Post Match Thread

[Rigadon]

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

Luiz offside

Cheers, I totally missed that! 

[Smirker]

Absolutely not down to Emery. If anyone is suggesting that.

Didn't even play shit. Just stupid errors and shit finishing.

Oh well.

[Malandro]

It was a true defensive masterclass today. I’m sure Emery has seen enough already.

Mings and Konsa. Dumb and Dumber.

[JUAN PABLO]

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.

 

About right


Relying on Watkins to be your goalscorer, yes he scored but he's got to stop missing these chances.

Bailey has boots full of feathers .

Plus he don't beat many his man very often .


One plus u still think Phil can give us something that through ball for Watkins who shood have hit it first time .

Oh JJ was crap

[Bad English]

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

People are just pissed off at losing 2-4 (FOUR) to the crisp munchers. I wouldn't worry about it.

Villa have a way of kicking you in the nads when you just start to have hope. Onwards and upwards.

[Beard82]

Not sure how we managed to lose that 4 - 2 - only watched the first 30 mins and we looked comfortable.

The challenge we keep on having is that we have mid table players - who do mid table things.  We essentially have 17 players likely to play and most of them are capable of being rubbish at any given time. 

I get all this talk of there being different players in these positions in 18 months but we have been saying that for the past 18 months.  Emery is clearly a good coach - but we have had great chances in the cups and the league to kick on and we haven’t taken them.   

If we don’t progress quickly we will lose the likes of Emi and Kamara and we saw when Grealish left that actually no money can compensate for losing your best players - or at least we’re not capable of using the money.

It’s only 1 bad game - but we have seen this before from these players.  I just struggle to see how we’ll get these players that are a clear step up if we continue to finish mid table.

As Risso said this just seems to be very villa.  Clearly there will be set backs on the way, etc but at some point we will have to take the opportunities in front of us rather then trying to be strategic - which we have tried to do before and has never really worked.

Somehow despite typing Leicester I managed to click something so that it autofilled in a previous title i'd used. That's nearly as shit a mistake as our defence today.

You must have got the old one wrong too because it said 'Match Post Thread' as well as Southampton.

[Bad English]

Scores out of 10

Martinez - 3
Young - 5, Cash - 4
Mings - 2
Konsa - 3
Digne - 3, Moreno - 3
Kamara - 1
Luiz - 5
Buendia - 6
Ramsey - 2, Coutinho -5
Bailey - 4
Watkins - 5

Negative scores. Harsh but fair.

And yet still not as shit as our defence.

Agree mostly, except too high for Bailey and Coutinho. Generous to Martínez as well as he started the circus at the back.
Moreno would have been worth more than a 3 had it not been for his mistake at the back.

Agreed.

[RamboandBruno]

I don't want to resuscitate an old argument but .....

THAT litany of missed chances is exactly why some of us were angry we didn't buy a proven striker and moved one on.

Which proven striker?

[wince]

I’ve always hated walkers crisps.

[aj2k77]

That was a defensive shit show mixed in with our usual prolifigacy in front of goal. No Strikers or attackers to bring on when we are a goal down so once it went 2-3 it was game over. A Striker was a MUST in January, instead we made our usual excuses. We'll finish 12th ish, see the better players want to leave and we're back in the cycle of trying to replace from positions of weakness.
