We made them look good with some really poor mistakes at villa, lets thrash these dirty load of cheaters.

Agree ...personally we looked ridiculously sadly poor against villa last time out and they dominated us!!! Hope it's different this time!!

Where is the best stream for the game?

I see you also talk about first 11, too. You can play PENIS or JOINT like us :)

Ask tripe to explain ;)

www.hocuri.com

 

 

OK, I won't go into detail on that last part lol

Regarding streams we can't post them here as there have been legal issues for the owner of the website. But around the start of the game some people on the matchday thread will say they have found a good stream and you can PM them. From memory I think wiziwig is the best website

My best mate is a villa fan, he is the most pessimistic football fan I have ever met, a quick flick around their forums confirm that he is a stereotypicaly villa fan, they make us seem happy!

I got him a goodun though when he was slagging off saying Andrej is gonna be rubbish, I asked if he was jealous that we were showing ambition instead of selling all our best players and settling for 0-0 every week.

Ive always despised this lot, since Mark Draper got stolen from us, please lets do this lot of miserable of wannabes

Leicester Stat Attack


Leciester claimed a vital point against Liverpool as they fought back from 2-0 to claim a 2-2 draw after two quickfire strikes from David Nugent and Jeffrey Schlupp. Nigel Pearson will no doubt be looking for his men to build on this confidence boosting result this weekend.


Midfielder Riyad Mahrez has been one of the standout players for Leicester so far this season, clearly relishing the chance to test out some of the Barclays Premier League’s best defences. Not only does he lead the Foxes squad for total dribbles (39), he’s also had the highest number of attempts on goal of any Leicester player (29), hitting the target with 58.6% of his total efforts according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index.


Despite being known more for his efforts with the ball at his feet, Jamie Vardy has also compiled some impressive defensive statistics as a result of his tireless workrate and desire to help the team. He’s won a superb 90.9% of his 11 challenges so far this season.


Defensive stalwart Wes Morgan has been leading by example from the back this term, racking up a standout collection of defensive statistics to his name in the process. He is the only Leicester City player to have made more than 200 total defensive contributions this season (248)(interceptions, blocks, clearances, tackles won), a total that also places him 7th overall in the Barclays Premier League according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index.

Forgot he could play like that. Too used to him falling over when trying to do tricks nowadays.

Prefer him to play central, feel like he is too slow for the wings.

Hope wasyl squares away hutton with a few bruises today, along with that other mug(clark?) Who made a sliding tackle on the wing not long after vardy's and acted all billy big bollocks after.

Confident of a win today COYB

Surely Vardy hasn't won 90.9% of his 11 challenges this year. That's 10/11. Yet he's been booked a lot more than once, often for bad challenges?

All week long, I've been under the impression that Aston Villa traveled to faceLeicester City on Sunday in this week's late game. Was this a schedule change? Did I mark the wrong date and time on my calendar? Impossible* to say! The point is that I checked the schedule to see which games I might want to watch tomorrow afternoon-following several hours playing pinball and swilling cheap but impossibly strong beer at the barcade-and discovered that I could not be more mistakes regarding the start time of this weekend's game.

So, here we are. The Claret and Blue travel to the King Power Stadium** to face bottom-table Leicester City in a game that Villa desperately need to win. Despite the goal-scoring struggles Aston Villa are not far off from making a run at the top half of the table and-perhaps more importantly-making a run away from the relegation zone. And if you believe in the predictive power of analytics (and in this case common sense) you would expect said goal-scoring struggles to go away, or at least less, as time goes along.

But of course the problem-or at least one of them-is that there are a whole lot of outstanding questions regarding advanced metrics in soccer, and we've had months and months on end of Aston Villa not scoring goals. Even if the metrics had been pegged with an absolute degree of certainty, Villa have been so bad at scoring goals that it would be difficult to be truly optimistic until they managed to put several past an opponent,.

And if they're going to do anything of the sort, the Foxes would be a prime candidate. Only QPR have allowed more goals, and Leicester's 8 games of 20 with a point or better is the worst record in the league. And it's not as though Leicester make up for their defensive shortcomings with a dangerous attack; they've not touched Villa-level attacking futility so far this season, but they've still managed less than a goal per game.

In short, Aston Villa are the better and more talented side, and eventually that has to actually matter, right? This isn't a bad Villa team. It just isn't. Benteke is the best forward that's pulled on the shirt in heaven's knows how long, the defense has unquestionably been one of the best in the Premier League, and the midfield has largely been a revelation. Everything has come so tantalizingly close to firing on all cylinders for so long now, that I'm just not willing to accept that the status quo is reality.

This team will win. They have to win. They're too good-or at least too close to average-not to. They'll score goals, they'll establish themselves as being much improved, they'll dosomething. It's just not reasonable to accept anything else. This stretch of goal-scoring futility is too strange to do anything but end in an unceremonious fashion, never to be mentioned again.

*The most likely scenario is that this has been an incredibly long week and the portion of my brain that held this information oozed out of my ears, but I'm not above lying in order to save face.

**Corporate stadium naming is universally derided as gross-and rightfully so-but you could do a hell of a lot worse than King Power Stadium. The goal with these deals is to choose a brand that sounds pretty cool outside of the context of corporate stadium sponsorship, which is incredibly difficult, and King Power is about as close as it gets to perfect.

This is likely to be a low scoring game but I can't help feel we'll win this 3-0/1.

Our midfield will need to work their arse off today. I fancy Albrighton to have a stormer.

Posted

Missing Riyad and Jeff is going to be disruptive to our recent form /shape... But still think we'll be very UP for this one... So time for Albrighton and Knockaert to step up to the plate... 1-0 FOXES!!!!

Posted

Absolutely crucial game. You could argue we'll be sitting watch the fate of the whole season unfold this afternoon.

I'll be nervous but optimistic. 2 1 city.

Posted

Probably go;

Same back five as Liverpool

James - Drinky (if not then king)

Knockers - Nuge - Albrighton

Ulloa.

Think if albrighton plays we need ulloa, even though Vardy works better as a lone man. We also need ulloa to actually score. Such a shame half our best players are seemingly missing for this and our new signing isn't allowed to play considering it's such a big game.

oh man just realised im on the half 12 train from birmingham to leicester isn't that going to be fun

So much depends on how our two deputy wingers step up today. Big losses.

Completely agree

Posted

Last time we played them at home in the league they battered us 5-0. Vassell looked like Aguero that day, he was unplayable. Really really want us to win this

Hamer

 

Simpson Wasilewski Morgan De Laet

 

Albrighton James King Knockaert

 

Nugent

 

Ulloa

 

Pick up the same attitude and performance level we delivered at Liverpool and try to recreate some of the dominance we showed at home to Newcastle in the cup and we've a real chance of getting all 3 points today. Anything less than 3 points today is futile in my opinion. Christ I haven't been this nervous for a game in ages - well actually that's a lie, since Hull away. We lost too many of these games against our relegation rivals in the first half of the season so in the second half everyone one of them is a cup final (excuse the cliche).
