Villa. Home. Match thread.

[Suzie the Fox]

Decent enough half after our nervy start. 

[Shane]

Albrighton will always create chances if given the chance. Beautiful assist for Harvey, anyone else in our squad would have probably played the easy ball sideways or backwards and recycled possession. 

[Raw Dykes]

So, so important to score first. Might be able to pick them off on the break now.

 

Looked like a huge injection of confidence, that goal.

 

Win this, and I think we'll be alright for top 4.

[Jaspa]

Ndidi best player on the pitch, a real battle in midfield at times and he's been commanding. Huge to have him back.

 

Albrighton's grown into the game, still rusty at times and he needs to play regularly to get the best out of himself, it's a shame that's unlikely here now given his achievements.

 

Big at Targett too, well on Ricky getting a little hurt on turnip face for the attempted leg break at their place earlier in the season.

[Free Falling Foxes]

My stream is a bit behind, has VAR disallowed the goal yet?

[NotTheMarketLeader]

Justin miles better than Chilwell as expected.

[Ian Nacho]

Pirlo wears Dennis Praet pyjamas. 

[SixtiesFox]

Great performance so far. Just need a bit of heading practice. Now we need a second to calm the nerves and finish this pathetic Villa team off. 

[Gazza M]

Villa need to attack more which will play right in to our hands. Vardy on early 2nd half.

Really pleased with Justin and Praet tonight. Both playing very well.

 

Also shout out to Kelechi, who has done so much selfless work in that half. Good lad.

[OntarioFox]

Look, I know a lot of people here are nervy at the moment, and for good reason, but that was an excellent half against a team playing like dogs and getting 10 behind the ball at all times. I hope everyone there gets behind the lads second half, because we're potentially one goal from these having to commit men forward, which could result in a cricket score.

We've made loads of chances even against a pretty staunch defense. Albrighton and Soyuncu are playing out of their skins and, but for an inch of forehead, we'd be two up courtesy of Iheanacho.

I want to buy Harvey Barnes a pack of Haribo at this point. With parental permission, of course. He looks like a Starmix kinda lad. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Been a good performance held the ball well and having Ndidi back really shows his importance... villa struggling to get out their half

great performence first half but the finishing does concern me 

it's 1-0 buddy? 

[oxtonfox]

Got to beat this team haven't we? It should be our easiest 3 points of the remaining campaign now. Keep it up and let's be more clinical when the chances come... 

[Guest BlueBrett]

Need to keep playing in their half. Don't think they have the pace to hurt us breaking out

[Izzy]

Poor old Sven. He’s got no Fvckin idea what Carragher is saying 

[Suzie the Fox]

Their goalkeeper though for our goal.. super funny. 

[murphy]

From the BBc website:

 

Marc Albrighton now has as many Premier League assists as Muzzy Izzet for Leicester City, with 26.

Only Riyad Mahrez (27), Jamie Vardy (28) and Steve Guppy (34) have more for the club.

Meanwhile, with three goals and one assist, Harvey Barnes has been involved in four goals his last four home Premier League games.

Too much Shagging

[Ric Flair]

Ndidi is actually an artist in mass destruction, he is essential to us. He eventually got us going. Should be 3 or 4 nil up though,worrying how poor our finishing is but scoring first was huge.

 

James Justin looks a real talent and I hope he gets a few more games there, Albrighton credit where it's due. Playing very well.

[sheffield_fox]

Nacho's tackle and run were crucial for the goal. 

 

Colour me impressed. 

[Guest]

After a shaky start we’ve settled well and could be 2 or 3 up. 
 

Ndidi been excellent. We miss him so much when he’s injured.

 

Barnes lovely composure for the goal. 
 

Maddison’s corners were excellent. 
 

Very happy. Let’s have more of the same but with more of a clinical edge.
