Wonder if we are already seeing the positives coming from the new training ground? State of the art for recovery and it's clear to see. 

 

Yes we got a big leggy in the last 15 or so but it's great time to see these wins after a tough Thursday night game. 

Absolutely, you'd expect the lads to practically be living there at the moment. Recovery for Thursday

Everyone is talking about Grealish but Dean Smith and Villa have spent over £1/4bn net on transfers in 2 years, they should have more than enough cover to compete with us. 

We completely outclassed them in the first half, brilliant stuff from us yet still missing, Justin, Praet, Fofana, Perez and others carrying injuries.

How is this thread descending into 'we're victims'?

Because we didn’t score 7 and conceded with there only shot in target ... from 3 yards out. second time I’ve said this in last week but people can’t seem to accept a more defensive approach. Not even when they consider the fixtures and the injuries and players just returning from injury. Madness isn’t it.

Not saying we have to go out and score another 2/3 goals but going back into our shell againts a pants villa team:frusty:.

 

Is it really so taxing just to keep the ball and not give the opposition a sniff?

Erm, you seem to be forgetting the other team is trying to stop that. You don’t just press a “do this” button and it happens. It’s the very nature of competitive sport. And this is at the elite level, where margins are very tight.

The fact a section of fans seem to feel that unless we win every game 4-0 it's "shithousing" and "winning ugly" is so weird to me.  Like - Man City?  Sure ok.  But how any LCFC fan expect to go away to a top 4 challenging team who already beat us at home and roll them over with our injuries and fixture congestion, and that a game like that is "boring" or a "chore" to sit through, is so bizarre to me.  And I say that as a newer plastic fan.

 

Mentioned in his thread but check how Harvey anticipates on his goal - he's on his way as Jamie's taking his shot to get on the right side of the Villa defense and make himself an option.  If he waits until the save to move, that goal doesn't go in.

Can’t believe people are criticising a hard working pretty solid second half showing. As others have sad, sometimes you have to win ugly. I mean if we put in performances like that against Brighton and Watford at the end of last season, we’d have secured a top 4 finish. 
 

We have a shit load of games because we are in three competitions. Games like the second half today alongside “perfect” performances get us to have a very good season. 
 

Well done to players today. Even more so given we lost our play maker half through the second half.

Massive result and 3 points for us, and when that is following up another massive result and 3 points for us last weekend it really has been a big week for us. 

 

Thomas and Barnes were magnificent on the left today. First half we oozed class and took the game away from them. They barely laid a finger on us. Second half we showed our resilience, defensive qualities, organisation and squad depth to manage the game out. Real graft from everyone to get it over the line. Absolutely chuffed with that.

Just keep winning and picking up points. I don't care how we do it or what it looks like. This is all about the squad and they have been fantastic to watch all season.

You may be a newer fan but I'm sure you're not a 'plastic'.

For those of us who've been watching a long, long time - 40 years in my case, and watched more gash than class - I'm happy to enjoy any way of winning.

We're a delightful work in progress.

That second half was a tough watch. I never want us to play a midfield 3 of mendy hamza and wilf again. Great result though. Vardy not looking the same. Maybe his injuries have caught up with him. Currently Ian offers a lot more. 

I agree to some extent but he had 1 assist and his mere presence occupying defenders gives more space to other players.

Watching Leicester has been like a string of ex-girlfriends?? 😄

I was a bit uneasy with the way we handled that game if I'm honest. 

 

Because we won it turned out the right decision to stop playing when we went 2-0 up and then bring on the 3 most defensive substitutions you're ever likely to see. 

 

If we had conceded Brendan would have had some serious questions to answer.

You know that's how it works, right? We didn't, therefore he hasn't, therefore your point is redundant.

I think having Ndidi, Choudhury and Mendy all on was a bit of overkill personally and is only going to invite pressure, which it did. 

 

Just made me feel a bit uneasy watching it.

Imagine if he'd replaced those players with attacking players and we'd conceded he would've had some serious questions to answer.

But as HPF says, we didn't so therefore he hasn't.

Game management sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. BR's record with us (over 50% PL win ratio - that's staggeringly good over 2 years) suggests he gets it right more often than not.

I understand that, but it's irrelevant :) We got the result, we have huge injuries and fatigue issues, and nobody died. And I tell you something else - what-iffing after the fact is exhausting!
