Leicester v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Accent Guy]

Leicester fans calling us cheats and apparently the ref was match fixing.

The way I saw it is he got the non penalty correct and he booked our players for practically every foul.

Harry Winks is quite an obnoxious whinger.  Every decision was spot on.  Leicester have always had a complex.

Haven’t seen any football talk at all today, thought, well what better way to see how we played than checking the post match thread.

We won but made very hard work of it. We are so sloppy at times it boils my piss watching it. Leicester were at us all the time, we could have made it easier on ourselves releasing the ball quicker. New season same as the old season, innocuous injuries out of nothing. Hopefully they’re not serious because if they are we will struggle. Thought Barkley steadied us when he came on. Other than that Onana, Digne and Konsa were the pick of the bunch.

The Bailey injury has to be a case of not warming up properly . All he did was stretch for the ball, nobody near him. Players get "injured" so easily nowadays , any slight thing and they are out for a few weeks.

I’m going to go with that is extremely unlikely to be what caused it.

Especially with global warming, you'd expect players to get injured less frequently nowadays.

I didnt see any of the game other than the game:

How did Bogarde do?  did we play well?  what happened with Bailey - does it look serious.

Great to get another 3 points!  Would be amazing to get a clean sheet though.

That game should have been over after 30 mins today. Leicester were like a pub team, especially at the back. Sure Watkins should have buried them with his chances but I thought we were far too casual all over the pitch. Emery didnt have his best day on the sideline either. Rogers in particular had a nightmare today and should have been replaced long before the end. Hooking Ramsey was daft. Emery waited far too long to replace Bogarde too and that delay cost us a goal. Just thought we lacked focus today and it could have cost us.

Barkley did well and Tielemans continue his strong start to the season.

Worth it for Dave’s excellent “performative outrage” comment though.

Ha ha yes, that made me chuckle.

I predict more performative outrage when we play a slightly weakened side against Stourbridge Paper Boys XI in the third round of the Cup

[Goldenballs]

Performative outrage is a great term I hadn't heard before.

[Sexual Ealing]

What the fuck is happening on this thread?!

[PaulWinch again]

How did Bogarde do?

I hate to have to be critical but he wasn't very good.
Obviously he will improve, well I certainly hope so. I was very worried every time the ball came near him and was very easily done for the goal.

No idea why we didn't start with Nedeljković  as his pace gets him out of difficult situations. There again I've no idea why we didn't buy a right back.

He was fine for a good chunk of the game. He really dropped off later on, probably both because he’s young and also he was out of position.
