Aston Villa 2-1 Leicester City post match thread

[PaulWinch again]

One thing is clear though we have to work out how to play without Rogers. It was a very ordinary performance and we need to be better.

Conceding to Leicester is embarrassing too.

Apparently that's the first double over Leicester in twenty-one years.

I can go the pub now and get no shit from the interbred locals.

It was a crap goal to concede too, another gift really.

H to Leicester, mediocre match. Scraped a win

Could have put the house on it...

[Brazilian Villain]

Never in doubt.

All on Ollie.

Not a great performance, we've played better this season and not won.  But at this stage, given how the league is developing, a win was essential, and we've got it.  Keeps us within one result of the Champions League places.

I thought Barkley was good, and Maatsen did brilliantly for the goal when he came on, but I also thought JJ and Buendia both seemed a yard off it at times.  Ollie will have nightmares about that miss towards the end, even worse than the one under the posts last week.

Pleased with the result, but a bit 'meh' about the performance.  Everton and West Ham both looked like very winnable fixtures 6 weeks ago, but right now I'd take similarly scrappy wins in both.

Awful game though the 2nd half was better .
Mings MOTM we looked better at the back today .
Ramsey lively in the 2nd half , Watkins overall poor game .

Which has been my point all along - the defensive issues are not just about who’s in the defence there is just a lack of aptitude and focus on it across the team.

It was Ollie's poor touch that led to the counter, but it was still in their half - you can blame him for conceding possession, but there are at least three subsequent opportunities to tackle/clear before that goal is scored.  No one is thinking, "Oh, goal" when we lose the ball there. I didn't think Cash covered himself in glory with his block attempt.

It wasn't all on Ollie, we still shouldn't be conceding from that position. It was basically a 2 on 5.

Hate to say it but, agreed. his touch can be really poor at times, not sure if this was one of those moments or just a lack of awareness of players around him in a slightly unfamiliar position, but either way the pass was short and left Mings and our defence out of position. We probably still should have had enough about us to recover it though.

100% it's on Watkins . Loses it at a critical phase of play . Really really poor

[Somniloquism]

That one defensive error led to Leicester doubling there shots all match, them having 2 on target and scoring.
