Carl the Llama Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We've been very unfortunate with this match: Their keeper had a blinder, the first goal is saved by Kasper 9 times out of 10, we should've had a pen for handball and you could argue they shouldn't have had that free kick leading up to the winner. Fair play to Villa though, to use a couple of cliches they kept fighting and made the most of the chances that came their way. The manner of that defeat is a bitter pill but there are hopefully some valuable lessons for a few of our players to take from this, after all a lot of our current squad have never really experienced any true adversity in Leicester colours: They haven't been through Deeney Day or spent months staring down the barrel of immediate relegation from the Premier League to toughen them up, but they'll be feeling a lot of pain right now after being dumped out of a semi final that they could and should have won in the last minute of injury time. And if they needed that experience then.I'd rather it be in the League Cup than any other competition to be honest. I'm still mad though, genuinely thought we could win it this year.

It's genuinely worrying what some people are saying in here tonight. I get people are still raw from the result but christ some people really need to get a grip.
deejdeej Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We were the better team, I hope the lads aren't too downbeat, got a massive game Saturday and we still have the FA cup to go for. Also Man City are going to demolish that Villa team.

foxfanazer Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 3 minutes ago, Analysethis said: Arguably one of the most ridiculous comments of the season. Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could see we deserved the win. 22 shots, just 6 on target, 3 or 4 Worldies from their GK and it was similar at our. Tactically we were spot on but we didnt take our chances. This result has fudge all to do with Rodgers in big games. Deserved to win. Eurgh, you sound like a spurs fan

Mapperleyfox Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 The most annoying part is allowing a poor team to shithouse their way through not one, but TWO legs of football. So disappointing and frustrating to not beat that bunch of donkeys over 180 mins. Only got ourselves to blame for not finding a way to win. Burnley also did the same to us a couple of weeks ago. Too many errors at the back from what little threats they had, not enough quality in the final third.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Still on course for that sweet top 4 and have a pretty favourable draw to get ourselves into another quarter in the FA Cup. Just wished we backed ourselves more in these bigger ties. We're fantastic and we're only going to get better but we need some polishing when it comes to big occasions, it's like we lose that swagger that saw us beating teams at a canter between September and December.
purpleronnie Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Wasn't confident tonight because I thought it was lost after the 1st leg, whoever won tonight will lose to City in the final anyway. I'd be much more upset if we don't have CL football next season.

Guest Col city fan Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Just now, Pliskin said: Our problem is fight, we just don’t have any. And I feared that it would be the case, Villa are poor, and over the two legs we should have won, but lack of steel and poor finishing has cost us dearly. And we always carry a few players every game, lately we are rarely together as a team in our performances. It will go down as naivety for now, but there will come a point When that will be unacceptable. Saturday is a huge opportunity for us, we can beat Chelsea, and I think we probably need to to give us a boost. What has become clear is that, apart from Ndidi, we have some very ‘nice’ midfield players but they are lightweight as Fook. The opposition has sussed this out and this is where we are losing games, especially when Wilf isn’t around We have become too easy to play against.
Blanchflower78 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Lots of raw emotion but we didn't take our chances and they did. Smith had a gameplan over the 2 legs, we couldn't manage it and its vill who go through. Again highlights we have plenty to work on, Europe will be a kind blessing if we get there but the team is still in need of further enhancing and experience
pSinatra Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 How do people get through the day? I work with two other blokes - one a Forest fan & the other Cardiff They would both give their left bollock to be half as good as we are & could only dream of being where we are
Leicesterpool Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Would have things been different if Vardy was fully fit.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 I dont want to just pile on our players I'm angry so I think I'll just slag off villa, enjoy your dismantling by Etihad fc and a royal handfisting from aguero and co, while you dither further down the table and that Alex mcleish v2 sends you back to the championship where you belong, enjoy wycombe away you cretins
ozleicester Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 The ONLY bottle job tonight was Dean leaving the penalty decision to VAR

Mike Oxlong Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 No doubt that the performance levels have tailed off a bit but this just shows that we are very much a work in progress and still having a far better season than most would have imagined
Hollyfox Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 7 minutes ago, Foxhateram said: Grealish is a cheating scumbag. No class or skill. Madders looked dangerous all game. No idea how you reached you conclusion. I'd agree with the 1st bit a bit The 2nd bit, you surely can't watch football. The blokes a very, very good player that carries that team
Fox in the North Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Right, now it’s time to use this shite feeling for every game we have left. We are in a fab spot to stay in top 4 and to get to the quarter finals of the FA cup. PS I hope we batter villa so so so much in a months time.
trabuch Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Just watching the highlights. We were massively unlucky. It was a penalty - I just don't know what VAR is? So many chances. They fluked it. They'll have a day out And a miserable journey back.
