Aston Villa v Leicester City Match Thread

Vardy runs the channels expertly but he doesn't play wide. In fact I heard Rogers saying he likes him to play between the centre halves and not going off into areas where he can't do any damage.

Sounds like Rogers needs to speak to Wesley, don’t think I saw him anywhere he could damage today.

 

[Fulford]

And there was me thinking a centre forward was a striker! You learn something new every day.

Yes a CF is a striker but usually one that holds the ball up and brings others into play. These days strikers tend to be more mobile than a traditional CF.

Rogers is a quality manager.

 

[Fulford]

Rogers is a quality manager.

Again we agree. He was my first choice at VP.

 

[tarzansbrother]

Maybe some of his quality will have rubbed off onto Smith today. Squeaky bum time for him that’s for sure over the festive period

There was one superb cross from the Trinity in the last ten minutes when Wes needed to throw himself head first at it, needless to say he didnt.

Well Rogers has a lot of experience. Deano is learning still but I think he is a shrewd bloke and will learn quickly.

Goodnight fellow Villans, mentally drained after that experience.

I think we should sign Messi and Ronaldo neither of those are strikers either, in the traditional sense but they score more goals than any players on the planet.

The day of the traditional striker has gone.

Don't be ridiculous . They wouldn't want to play in the same league as Maupay for fear of being shown up.

yep unless you are Burnley of course, all the top sides play without a big lump, they may well have one the books but only for emergency

We all must have known this season would be tough with some ups and downs? Man U was an up and today a down that thankfully did not get too messy.

I still think taking Marvelous off was suicidal but at 1-3 we needed to try something i suppose. We should look to see where we are at after the next 4 games. We also need a big reaction on Saturday and im expecting us to get a result.

You're as bad as my 3 year old Grandaughter, who said the other day "Grandad you're being ridiculous " I cried laughing at her

Someone better tell Lewandowski

Personally I'd have left Marv alone, taken Wesley off for Trez and let him run the legs off their back 4.

Marvelous was doing nothing, someone else posted he made a grand total of 0 tackles according to the official stats.. hardly what you want from a ball winning midfielder

I was thinking before the sub actually took place we should bring Trez on for Marvelous or Luiz so no complaints from me on that one.

There's always an exception but I can't think of many. Maybe Dzeko

He just doesn’t look like a natural centre forward does he.

 

[Bikini Inspector]

Disgusting to have to put up with chav runt Vardy's shenanigans at Villa park today. Just when I thought we'd turned a corner and stopped being so naive we fall right back into it.
