twister Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 I do wonder in future big games weather Morgan Fuchs and Albrighton should be involved their title winners their experience should be used in the bigger games.

I swear some of you do not deserve to watch a player of his class in a Leicester shirt. We were unlucky. Very good first half but got more and more desperate as the game went on. We had more than enough chances to win 3 games but could not take them. They had 3 or 4 decent chances and took 2 of them. It happens. All this not turning up bollocks. Have a look at the stats of possession and chances people. Shit happens at football sometimes and it was our turn tonight. All sounds a bit Spursy to me. Can’t wait for Wembley to compete for the possesion trophy.

HibiscusMark Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Some serious half-witted fux on this forum. Up one week, down the next. Those who blame the team for lacking consistency should show some themselves. 3rd in the league, semi in one cup, round 5 in another. Reading some of the crap on this site you’d think we were relegation fodder. I think it’s called being a fair-weather fan and there are plenty of you here.

We look dreadful at times. 👎🏽 Not sure about that but why, when we had the best defence in the Premiership with him playing on the right of defence, did Rodgers chose to play him on the left against Southampton, a team we'd beaten 9 nil. Did it yet again tonight against a bottom of the league team, why? We lost again. Why is he messing about with the one formula on the pitch which is hugely successful? Ego and micro management?

Dorkingfox Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 It is a big disappointment to lose to a very average, no, poor Villa side, who have not got a hope in the final and most likely get relegated. Football can be a cruel game, clearly we were the better team, but not have the rub of the green. They (Villa) do not have much to look forward to for the rest of the season, I for one have never liked the majority of the Villa fans I have come in contact or worked with, most have been very arrogant, yet have nothing to be arrogant about. We move on now to maintain the top 4 posn and forget about teams heading the championship.

Looking at our regular outfield players, the only experience and ‘know how’ I see is Evans and Vardy and it’ll be a case of whether the chasing pack in the league can get their act together better than we can in the race for top four. In the summer at the end of that 2013/14 season Pearson went and brought in the likes of Wasilewski, Hammond and Taylor-Fletcher. Unspectacular players but ones who could give that promising young group a bit of nous. Would like to see Rodgers follow suit (obviously with a higher class of player) and go and spend some money on someone who can give us a bit more steel and grit when we’re mentally fragile. Villa wanted it more over both legs, dug deep, battled for it and made it difficult. We pranced around and failed to come up with anything when we faced a resolute opponent. Agree 100% with all of this.

We have got to where we are in the league by playing great football and by winning the games we should win. However, in certain big games we simply have not turned up/ bottled it/blown it or however you want to phrase it. Three of our best results have come playing against ten men for much of the match. Forget this match over two legs and just think back to the Liverpool match at home. Ok so they are fantastic but that was a "big" match. Live on TV moved to the prime 8pm kick off 1st place vs second place in one of the top leagues in world football. Domestic league football doesn't get much bigger. Yet we really barely turned up, looked completely overwhelmed by the occasion and lost without them really breaking sweat. And didn't just lose but lost very badly. In fact we nearly blew the quarter final against Everton. Great 1st half lousy second half. I don't know why but I do feel we lack that "big match" mentality. It is really, ....The New situation,a Team learning,and still a young squad. Today it was the oppo's GK,who was man of the match. Its downright silly,over-analysing,Psycho-analysing every moment or move.....Sport is a bugger, or a lovely-mother, or the best romp ever...... We have to take the Frustration on the chin....Febuary & March,will Show us now,what Metal is withinside this squad...Its up to them as a group,to prove they have it in them,to Advance and mature from that 1st sentence mentioned above..!!!

Will come back tomorrow and hopefully people with brains will be back on. Laughable isn't it, still nothing compared to the match day thread. I know it's said a lot, but many our fans seem to forget where we have come from and how lucky we are to have one of the best teams we've ever had and probably ever will have. At the end of the day we've gone out of the bloody Carabao Cup unfortunately in the semi final, whilst we're verging on qualifying for the Champions league again and have a favourable tie in the FA cup 5th round. Perspective is very important here, I hope people use this disappointment to urge this young team on this Saturday.

Swiss_tony Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 Good old Demari, as poor as Barnes was apart from the goal, at least he closed people down. Gray just ran away from elmo and gave him the freedom of the park to put that cross in.

Tielemens was particularly guilty of this. He is an "Only sings when we're winning" player it would seem. He needs managing - because he is potentially world class.
jmono84 Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 We were by far the better team and 9/10 we go through to the final. Not only did we have terrible officiating but we also had to score against a team who we’re very defensive. I kno our players should have done better defensively with the last goal but the ref has literally handed the possession over to them for their final attack unfairly after Maddison won the ball and we should have had our final attack! It was the ‘high foot’ tackle when Maddison’s foot was just higher than the other players foot. Mike Dean giving needless fouls as per usual because he can’t stand not getting involved. Shit ref!! anyway we played well, their keeper made some great saves and our keeper didn’t. To be fair it was only the first one he should have squared up to and got some of his body on it but the goal was very fortunate for Villa. I thought we played well which makes it so much harder that we’ve not made it to the final!
Swiss_tony Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 The bottom line is this. Dean smith did his homework and closed the middle of the park down, Grealish had much more room than Maddison. We didn't really show much nous in that second half despite scoring. The number of times we had a free kick we could've put in their box and we quickly went 5 yards sideways drove me batty One thing I've noticed with Rodgers is that like Pearson, he gets very cautious in the big games. When we played man city and Liverpool we played a different way, and over the two legs it's felt the same. He didn't 'go for it' for want of a better term, just like Pearson bottled the Cardiff playoff by being too defensive. I thought villa deserved it over both legs.

Gray had more of the ball in their half in 10 mins than Barnes did in 80.
ealingfox Posted 28 January 2020 Posted 28 January 2020 I know we'd only have missed the penalty but that handball decision is an absolute disgrace If that's not handball then what is ffs!

If they press us high we struggle to build play, as Southampton showed.
