Aston Villa v Leicester City - Match Thread - Sunday 5th December

[Bonker]

Chucky and Sansón especially, a calming influence when they came on

I really like the look of him, looks contained and intelligent, just what we need in midfield.

Oliver saying to Stevie ‘glad you won cos I fucked up with that disallowed goal’

 

[eltoro]

Fuckin hell, that was done the hard way .

But done mate.

 

[Fulford]

Only the referee kept that score down.

 

[mike_field]

Fantastic win, but that's should've been 6.

 

[Fulford]

We are 10th now.

Gerrard is the real deal - I was incredibly skeptical but I haven’t seen anything to suggest this is just new manager bounce. It’s been changes at the right time, in game adjustments, great game management and a couple of great team talks.

 

[Bonker]

We are 10th now.

Top half, nice.

9 pts from the drop, another 9 on top of that and we can chill.

Really looking forward to the Xmas campaign now.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Happy days!

 

[JNB90]

Chuffed to bits. Some great defending tonight.
deserved that for that 2nd half.

9 points from 4 and out only loss being a valiant display against Citeh.

Brilliant

 

[AMS78]

First half we were crap. Somehow we got through it and 2nd half should probably have had more. When we learn how to be a bit more clinical we will give someone a hammering.

 

[eltoro]

Chucky has done better today since coming in.

I’d still like him and others to move with the ball when they get it, to much standing still looking for the pass.

 

[Nerrad Villa]

toss up between Martinez or Nakamba for mom

 

[Divine_islet]

Fuck Yeah Super Happy. Won despite not being able to pass the ball. What a massive change just showing desire, effort and determination can make. Should have had 6 goals ! Add an effective attacking style of play and we can progress in leaps and bounds.

Marv all day - Martinez had fuck all to do but that save was world class.

toss up between Martinez or Nakamba for mom

There is no fucking way Nakamba gets dropped and I had that view even while he was being ignored previously. His performances in his role just like Konsa in his have never merited criticism.

 

[AMS78]

Nakamba has turned into beast in that Midfield. Constantly being in and out of the team, knowing as soon as Luiz was fit he’d get dropped again was clearly holding him back.

 

[eltoro]

Mings was incredible again in defence, powerful and unmovable

 

[AV Dave]

Nakamba has been brilliant under Gerrard MOM for me

 

[CDX_EIRE]

Nakamba has turned into beast in that Midfield. Constantly being in and out of the team, knowing as soon as Luiz was fit he’d get dropped again was clearly holding him back.

Sanson might take Luis’ place next week
