Aston Villa 2-1 Leicester City post match thread

[olaftab]

Not sure if Bailey was bits and bobs or Watkins woeful or Cash casual or Buendia bleak or Konsa kookie but what I am sure about is that Sundays are wonderful after we win on Saturday😊

Watkins playing that shit ball might have triggered it but looking at this, how the fuck does that end up in the net? What a mess.

In the vein of certain players being more scape-goated then others, imagine the uproar if Torres did what Mings did for their chance early in the second half.

I'm happy with the three points I'm also pleased Leon Bailey got his first goal of the season hopefully he can go on a run now.

Excellent movement from Vardy to be fair but really Kamara should have blocked off his run and Konsa had to deal with him at the front post. Brilliant save from Martinez but that's embarrassing defending yet again. To top it off Konsa started having a go at Watkins afterwards.

Cash is Cash . Receive the ball. Control it . Look backwards . Play it backwards. Repeat .
He's a solid pro , he's done us well . Do we need better to progress . Yes .

His first touch isn't sure enough I think. Hence turns back inside too often as the ball isn't where he expects it to be. But he laid one on a plate for Watkins in the first half, made some good runs that Bailey failed to find him. A lot better going forward today that he has been lately. Defended very well throughout against their most dangerous player. maybe could have got out a bit faster for the goal. He's solid most games defensively these days, less Matty Rash.
Considering the disaster class at RB in the last game it was a huge improvement.

You must have blinked for his nice cushioned header to their player, who then ran into the box and hit the corner flag with his shot. However he did get forward alot and had a nice shot right at the end on target.

Was that just after half time when their winger side footed well wide? I did miss that actually and only saw the end of the replay.

Yep that’s shocking organisation.

Nah, that was Mings ducking under the cross I alluded to a couple of posts up. Cash one was in the first half where I think the midfielder blasted it high.

Kamara tried to ease him off but was probably worried about giving away the penalty so stopped short of the full block.

The winning goal demonstrated the value in getting to the byline. Something we don't do nearly often enough.

Interesting that it was Bailey that knew where to go to get on the end of it

Our strikers generally don't.

Shouldn't "wonderful" be subbed for something that begins with "s" ?

Really good movement from Bailey for the goal, and a proper finish
He was the match winner

Apart from that though he was pretty much rubbish for most of the game

[Paul.S]

Watkins not only fluffed his chance (again) but cost us a goal.
He needs an enormous kick up the arse along with a few others.
Duran is going to walk straight back in to this team if he’s not careful.

I don’t think a “kick up the arse” is what’s needed, he’s very evidently trying hard. Also he’s been directly involved in over a third of our league goals, let’s not confuse him struggling a bit with him being useful. He’s still very important.

I couldn’t agree more. Watkins always gives 100% and he’s going through a huge dip in confidence. He’s massively important to us and will be for the rest of the season.

Not really . Digne has gone on the overlap already so is well out of position when Watkins cheaply gives it away dropping them all in the shite .
Overall the defence looked far better yesterday without Carlos / Torres and Konsa playing RB

Yes I should have been more consistent. Sundays are superb.
