Leicester v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[edgysatsuma89]

Oh, that's good. It's nice to have posters who share my antipathy to the Green Bay Packers.

I used to be able to join in with that when I had an interest. Also, Brett Favre is currently sucking off Elon. The bellend.

Re "our man in Japan"...that unlocked a memory of an outspoken H&V poster from yesteryear called "martin" (I *think*) who was based in Tokyo. Is that who we're on about?

Axl Rose, still around.

Good bloke, doesn’t post much because of the playground stuff.

He's banned, I think. Shame, I like him.

No, he posts on GtG.

GtG, what's that?

Onana makes Troy Deeney’s “Team of the week” on the BBC, along with Bogarde….

Job done and at least we aren't Everton 😂

When i saw the Everton result i immediately thought of us v Leicester the season we got relegated.
We were 2-0 up, and lost 3-2, i believe we lost all confidence because of that game and it all just started to fall apart after that. We played another 15 league games without a win after that result.

I can see the same thing happening to Everton, bottom of the league with no points, confidence is on the floor, the fans are getting getting agitated, looks like this will be the season they get relegated.

That 3-2 defeat at Leicester when we were cruising at 2-0 up will go down in history as a sliding doors moment for both clubs. They gained so much belief from that moment and went on to win so many games from losing positions before landing the title. We on the other hand were shattered by it and our momentum finally reached rock bottom at 17/18th position in the Championship. All thanks to tactics Tim. As someone once said "football is a funny old game"

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

Tim seems to be impressing the Everton fans, but I don't think that's difficult considering the state they're in. They need one thing to be positive about.

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.

[brontebilly]

That was a shocker of a goal we conceded, watching it back. Bogarde obviously beaten all ends up initially but Tielemans let the goalscorer run off the back off him. Thought he should have stopped him getting a clear shot off too, maybe should have just rushed out to block him rather than swinging with his left foot. Good shot, mind.

We have lacked a ruthless streak in the first three games. I know Ollie has missed big chances but at times we have been very sloppy in possession, it's allowed the likes of West Ham & Leicester back into games when they both should have buried before half time. Our best performance was against Arsenal, that's football I guess.

Yeah, spot on. That season was just the culmination of Lerner's lack of interest and increasingly bad decision making. If we hadn't gone down that season we would have the season after.

Quite funny that Newcastle didn't manage to beat 2016 Villa or 2008 Derby.

[Somniloquism]

That was the season where the club wanted European cheapness and the manager wanted "dependable" prem experience and we ended up with Richards AND Lescott and lots of French youth. That then formed the cliques with the management team seemingly encouraging the English lot to ignore the "foreigners".

I honestly thought West Ham might go the same way under Moyes when news of similar happening there but unfortunately it didn't.

That was honestly the only good day in the back end of that season, they came down to take the piss after the 'sob on the Tyne' stuff but we were already taking the piss out of ourselves and bought them down with us instead.
