Leicester v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

It won't be that high as 88 is more than 4 seasons so would include Gerrard and Smith. Under Emery we've won about two thirds of our home league games.

44 from 96 since we came back up.

Fair enough. I expect 66 out of 88 from the Sultan and nothing less (probably impossible even now).

Tim is playing really well for Everton, so I'm told. However, his tracking back for Cook's goal was outrageously poor.

There was an Everton podcast posted on a thread on here yesterday, and the Everton fans seem to be laying the blame on Dyche for that. Apparently Tim had worked so hard it was obvious he was absolutely knackered, and should have been substituted.

Still re watchibg the set piece from first goal. That was a superb bit of play. Very clever

There were so many depressing things that season we got relegated.  But one that springs to mind was a mind bogglingly stupid diving header from Richards in the Manure home game.  I can’t remember whether it lead to their goal but all I can remember how ludicrous it was in context.

I got bored, 21 wins and 5 draws in 33 home league games under Emery.

I think that Christmas video with Richards as ring leader and his inner circle (no French speakers) having picked up 7 points pre Christmas was so fucking stupid - really had to be seen to be believed.

Richards crops up a lot on these worst moments discussions.

Fucking hell, that's good.

Are you surprised?!
His time with us inspired his behaviour on the annoying "We buy any car" ads that appear during Sky football transmissions.

Only four from 12 since Sheff Utd broke the winning run. Emery out

I thought Barkley did well when he came on.
But, I have watched the highlights today, and yes Bogarde was poor for their goal, but Ross didn’t cover himself in glory either. Apart from that, he did well.

Bit harsh for me that. Ross had to take up a position to stop him cutting inside. Once he beat Bogarde on the outside Ross was out of the game.

People talk about that Leicester game as 'sliding doors' but we were piss weak all over that season and were going down regardless.

When failed to beat Sunderland at home early in the season despite playing OK I knew the writing was on the wall.

In my head I resigned myself to relegation after the Watford defeat at home in November

Was that when Sherwood got sacked? My recollection is that there was a very brief upturn in results (comparatively speaking) just before the 0-6 v Liverpool. Then we only managed a point over the rest of the season.

Honestly can’t remember if tactics got the boot after that, got s feeling he was already gone but maybe not?  I was sitting in the upper north for some reason rather than the holte, just remember Deeney scoring late on, it all just felt so inevitable.

We fell apart a bit centrally once Onana went off though Barkley did well for the 2nd goal just moments after coming on. I think the deep playmaker role will suit him better.

Sherwood was sacked end of October. Garde arrived early November, that Liverpool 6-0 home defeat was in February. The transfer window closed, we had done nothing and everybody knew we had given up.
