Villa Match Thread

[Tielemans63]

We should be out of sight. Hopefully we can kill them off early in the second half.

 

Barnes to come on and bag two 

[Tom12345]

A bit shakey.

 

Barnes in for Tielemans to force Villa higher up the pitch?

He was totting up - he was gesturing with his hand that he’d committed several fouls…. It wasn’t given for that specific tackle

But that last one wasn't or shouldn't have even been a foul. Same as one of the others (unless I'm mistaking it for a different one)

[Milo]

Don’t know how the 2 villa players aren’t offside. Said they weren’t interfering with okay but both go up and challenge for the ball That leads to the goal 🤷‍♂️ 
 

Agree that Villa are worth a goal - but not like that, surely?

[Slab Edd]

Always liked Micheal Oliver 

Superb refereeing

[TJB-fox]

Extremely nervous about this second half, this game is too open. Hope we’re more clinical, can definitely see Villa scoring again.

[Jonezy]

Just a little bit sharper and Engels won't get his last ditches in and we score for fun. Just nervous about the Oliver and Grealish bromance to get stupid decisions against us.

[Vacamion]

 

We should be three up at least.  Maddison could have slotted Vardy through at two nil and, inexplicably, hit it into their player.

[Hammo]

Reckon we might need another to win this.

 

Obviously all this talk that Grealish is the League’s most fouled player has got into Oliver’s head. Ref is making him a protected species.

[Corky]

Villa aren't a usual bottom three team- like us under Micky Adams they push a lot of games close and have thrown away leads and points late on. If they were 11th/12th it wouldn't be too high.

[Blue-fox]

Nervous for this second half 

[glebe_sydneyfox]

Well that was worth staying up for. Our cards both highly questionable. Tielemans needs a rest.

[st albans fox]

If we had scored that and it was disallowed for offside I would be livid ...... the player coming back from an offside position doesn’t get near the ball ......... we lost our cool in our box - chances to clear twice 

 

that goal has really pissed me off

Yep, I thought it was defo going to be disallowed that goal. Not sure what the VAR people were watching to be fair.

Agree. I'd love to hear why they thought the offside player wasn't involved in the challenge . It sure looked like it to me.

[TJB-fox]

Our fans love it when Vardy rustles the opposition fans, or when he goes down slightly easy, but god forbid Grealish does it. Few blue-tinted specs on here. He’s been quality so far.

Gotta listen to it on the radio and it's not coming across well who is on top. Can anyone let me know how it is?

I'd say most of the time we were on top but Villa are looking very dangerous indeed. Had their chances the best one at 0 - 0 when they hit the crossbar. Their goal was a deflection so a bit lucky. The ref is a joke sadly, giving our lads cards for nothing. The conditions are difficult too wet and windy

We have to stop Hobbit Grealish bossing the wing he’s their best player and their biggest threat !!

McGinn is also good

[Legend_in_blue]

I'd take off Tielemans early second half.  Looked jaded.  

[steflcfc]

End to end game, which thought it was going to be before the match started.

 

controlled most the first half, just got to watch the fouls around our box as they have some height.

Shame to give goal away before half time and think it was Vardy had the chance to clear it before the ball came back in with a poor header.

 

Attacking wise we will get chances had 4/5 already and more to come second half.

 

Think will get more space as game goes on with them pushing on

 No…. I didn’t think it was a foul…. Was just pointing out that it was given for that specific incident 

[copunk]

Would be extremely happy with a dull and boring goalless 2nd half, really nervous for this 

[Hollyfox]

Need to improve the final ball but should score again as they're not good at the back. 

 

Need to wise up as they're definitely trying to get us a man down and the ref is buying into it

[lee7]

That changes villas half time team talk. Hopefully we can put this to bed early second half.

[foxes_rule1978]

Villa will push hard, we need that third goal

I would take him off and bring on Albrighton
