Villa 2 - 1 Leicester - Post Match Thread

I don't think you can blame the fans when we play like that. We were crap. Pearson had a mare.

 

yeah because he tells them to misplace passes doesnt he.

He does, however, put them in a formation where attacking options are limited and technically poor players are forced to try and play their way out of trouble. Both are to blame. Pearson set us up completely wrongly today and the players also massively under-performed

Genuinely cannot wait for this season to end now. Bored of it. Same old building your hopes up to shoot them down. Pathetic, disgusting performance. Villa were shit and we were shitter. Thoroughly embarrassed.

abject.

not sure I can say much more.

if we go down. I wanted to go down with an fa cup final appearance to go with it.

I really can't make my mind up if as a team we are just that little bit short.

or if pearson really is to blame.

for example.

kasper

delaet

morgan

drinkwater

king

vardy

nuge

to mention a few

just not stepped up.

I genuinely believe they aren't good enough.

that said pearson should have known. or learnt really quickly.

Mahrez played like a player who knows he's on his way out in the summer.. No desire or passion.. Disgusting!!!!!

I dunno about that. He's still young and inconsistent. He was phenomenal vs. Palace and on Tuesday. One thing about him is he throws in one of these performances every now and again. Still the club's best and most talented player at this time.

Disappointed, the best chance we've had to win the cup for a while!

 

The whole team performance was poor and the decision making from Pearson was worse!  

 

At least Kramaric scored

 

 

:thumbdown:  :facepalm:

win the cup with Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool still in it right Ill have some of what you are on mate

I think having the 3 CBs is not the problem. O'Neill played it for years with great success. With the right wing backs it can actually be an attacking formation. The problem is Pearson's choice of full backs. He should be deploying Schlupp and RDL, not the ageing Konch and the utterly useless QPR reject (which says all you need to know).

The other problem today was that it was 3v2 in midfield. And Villa, unlike Arsenal, used one of those midfielders (Delph) as a second marker on Mahrez, which left us with zero creativity.

I'd try this v Everton:

Hamer

Was

Huth

Upson

RDL

James

Drinky

Cambi

Schlupp

Mahrez

Kram

Woohoo - that's two of us now. How do we get this message to the manager?

Good line-up. Hopefully Pearson sees what everyone else sees and plays this

A good manager needs to be able to react and change the outcome of a match.

 

It's like being dealt a bad hand in poker. That's not your fault, but if you play every hand correctly you may well win the game.

 

We were well on top in the first half yet for some reason we went to pieces in the second half and were being dominated.

 

The manager needed to make changes. Our right-hand side (Simpson and Mahrez) were weak for the entire match and a decent manager would have made a change early in the second half and brought on Liam Moore at right back or Marc Albrighton in place of Mahrez.

 

Instead he changes to a 4-4-2 which was pointless because there is no point in an extra striker when you aren't able to move the ball forward. At the same time it means the opposition are only more likely to find space and convert their domination into a goal, which sure enough is what happened. It wasn't surprising that Simpson had a mare for their goal as he was consistently shit for the entire game.

 

Schwarzer made another error in the goal, again this wasn't bad luck on the part of the manager as he's proven he's rubbish in goal.

I know I sound like a broken record but ffs the majority of our fans are pathetic.Whinging and moaning about this and that.How about getting behind the team,that 2nd half was embarrassing considering our numbers today.

I'd agree that the second half was pathetic but I'm talking about the team and Pearson's reaction, or lack of, to that performance.

Posted

Delph was tasked with doubling up on mahrez. A decent tactician would have made things difficult by making jeff swap wings with RM. Then Delph would have had to play on the wrong side for him. Maybe not all the time but change back and forth when the game goes dead. Give them something to think about!!! Was just too easy for a side so low on confidence. and when they changed their tactics at half time, we didn't respond with intelligence. I presume that's what bothers most on here. A lack of tactical nouse once the game is underway.

Sorry, but you're talking utter shite.

 

Schwarzer's mistake is Pearson's fault?

 

Have a word ffs.

Schwarzer's error today might not have been Pearson's fault directly, but picking him after the cock ups he has already made in his short time with us certainly is.

Posted

I'd agree that if you play 5 at the back, RDL and Schlupp are the best bets for wing backs. Not sure about Drinkwater, as I feel the team does better with Hammond in it, which I would never have said before this season, and the real issue for me is that Kramaric looks too lightweight to play up front on him own.

 

Basically though I think we lack sufficient quality going forward regardless of who plays - we just can't keep the ball in too many games, and the second half today was utterly shocking.

You don't think a manager shares some of the fault for picking and persisting with poor players?

For all Pearsons good points his lack of tactical ability is shocking, like others have said not trying to at least turn things around is appaling

The team to start with was so so negative anyway

Said it many times before but especially against the likes of Villa lets just have a go at them

Awful to watch

We are just a boring nothing side now

10 years and this, what a waste

Who bought him and picked him?

 

Yeah.

Schwarzer's mistake was not Pearson's fault. The fact that he was on the pitch to make that mistake was entirely Pearson's fault. Nobody else picked the team.
