Aston Villa (a) Match Thread

If it's not a red card it's not a penalty.

Mahrez' shot is on target and very possibly out of the keeper's reach - it's probably worse than just denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity.

 

Oh I think it's going in. I just don't mind when a player is carded for accidentally denying a goalscoring opportunity.

 

Was anybody else panicking when Huth fuched up? I wasn't worried about them scoring, I was worried Huth was going to go through the back of him and get sent off haha.

 

Anyway lads. We're a second half team. Imagine we'll turn it on this half.

Anyone complaining at half time should have their nads cut off with a rusty axe.

We are, as it stands, top of the league.

Villa don't look remotely like scoring.

If we score again they have no chance.

COYB.

It was a good first half, their only chance came when huth gifted them an easy back pass but apart from that no real threat... we are in front and had we scored the penalty it would have been the perfect first half

I don't understand why anyone would take a casual penalty in a competitive game. The odds are already massively in your favour. Just practice and practice until you can put it into an area where even if the keeper guesses the right way and dives early, he still doesn't stand and chance.

A casual roll down the middle might look cool but will quickly be forgotten and you will rightly be criticised if you miss.

Not convinced, it does not show even half a decent angle.

Our fans are as biased as it comes, understandable, but theres absolutely no way you can catagorically say that was going in from that angle.

pause the replay, Distance between mahrez and cissokho was about 2 yards, distance from mahrez to the goal was about 8 yards. the ball rose about 5 foot in 2 yards.

 

Theres nothing clear about the replay, only difference is, if it was up the other end, our fans would be saying it was definitely not going in so only a yellow.

 

lol in what way was that not going in? How is this even up for debate?

Can't be offside from a goal kick.

 

Can't decide what's worse, that, or the time somebody didn't know the offside rule and claimed Benteké was onside.

You might disagree but atm you're making stuff up, you're better than that.

Not the best angle or quality footage, but that's in a nice position for the keeper. Not right into the corner (when it crosses the line, it curls into the corner at the back) howard goes the right way, he saves that.

It's not about bias at all. The replay 1000% shows it was on target. You've had a mare, admit it and move on pal lol

Ok first half.

Not great not shocking.

As much as we dont dominate possession, our passing has been sloppy and needs sharpening up.

Againt a decent team we would be struggling.

Luckily villa are extremely poor.

Shame we have not put the game to bed first half.

At 1-0 they have a small amount of hope.

cant be offside off a goal kick

 

 

Goal kick

 

 

I've either forgotten that or never knew. Mad. Having played and watched for 20+ years.

Punt, punt, punt.... We're better than this.

It's getting worse every game, it's gone from well thought out long passes to so rushed.

Posted

Leicester's passing has been pretty atrocious if you dissect the stats so far.


Marc Albrighton (55%), Robert Huth (57%), Christian Fuchs (61%) and Shinji Okazaki (64%) the worst offenders.

Nobody is saving that.

Am I going mad or is Vardy not 5-10 yards offside???

You going mad. Can't be offside from a goal kick.

Check out the goal he scored at Barnsley in our championship year.

I assume you are the centre half when put his hand up for offside that night lol

Are you serious?! 5 foot in 2 yards?! Cissokho was sliding in and his arm was at about the height of his knee if he'd been standing.

 

Have a word.

Mahrez has been given pen duty based on what he produces in training - I trust Claudio

I actually saw an interview with Claudio after the Bournemouth miss and he said that Vardy and Mahrez will discuss it themselves at the time of the penalty about who will take it.
