Leicester v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Exeter 77]

That is the sort of performance we used to see when we played somebody like Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal at Villa Park, We'd play reasonably well but get done by being out-thought by better players only today it was us doing that. I thought Barkley did really well when he came on, making sure we kept the ball which was something we struggled with all afternoon.

Ugly win but sometimes you need that. Though JJ Was excellent my motm. Youris tackle at the end was great too.

Felt bad on bogarde struggled at rb. Think kosta has to start vs everton.

Nothing easy about that.
We played at their level and had there been another 10 mins we would have been in trouble.
Poor performance from Ollie and Rogers. They will be fine, but it was not their best days.

Bogarde is not ready at this level, and there is no doubt that Ned should start ahead of him.

Captain Chaos. What can you say?  He doesn’t do a lot, but god that kid can finish.


A very welcome 3 points, going in the (fucking ridiculously timed) international break.

While Leicester were by no means great, it's a horrible place to go and plenty of teams will come away empty handed. Good win, onto the next.

Winks and Skipp were getting far too much control in the middle . We didn't look right today

Can we have a rule not to post false scores on the match thread, even for a joke, it’s kind of annoying.

You will need to post that on the other after match thread as BE will only be on that one.

Onana booked in the first 4 mins probably didn't help that. We used to get the same when Kamara was booked early as well.

Up to 6th now: we need Man U & Liverpool to draw tomorrow to keep things steady.

Everton are in deep shit already.

True. Also if Watkins takes his chances again the game is more comfortable

[Scott Nielsen]

Based on what Onana just said in the post game interview, Duran seems a very popular player.

Annoying , someone posted we were 3-0 up and within seconds it's 1-2

I thought it was a good performance. Deserved and hard fought - Leicester aren’t too bad at all.

Emi -7
Bogarde - 5.5 did well first half but struggled second, especially on the goal
Digne -7
Konsa -7
Biff Bang Pau - 7
McGinn - 6
Rogers -5 a bit off it and Leicester outmuscled him.
Bailey - can’t judge
Ramsey -8 thought he was superb
Tielemans -7.5
The Polyglot - 7.5 another feckin injury
Ollie -6
Duran 7.5 -fab
Barkley 7 - gave us calm and poise
Other subs, too little to go on

Made much harder work than we should've.

Leicester basically lost that game not starting Mavididi and Buananotte. Bogarde really struggled against Mavididi second half.

Still it's two good away wins so if we can win 7-8 away and get double figures again at VP then we'll be 6th-7th at worst, maybe better.
