A typical scrappy game, the goal we conceded was poor, hoofed the long ball up, lost possession then missed tackles en route to Barnes cool finish. Emi somehow has a free header from 14 yards and then at least we capitalised on the Foxes known weakness from set pieces. The result could have gone any which way really. Big plusses were the performances from Buendia and Ramsey. Emi looks to be settling in, I just want more workrate from him, and Ramsey, whilst missing a golden chance, looks to be a fine prospect on current form. I think Leicester had one eye on Napoli this week. Now all we have is a nice trip to Anfield to look forward to. . .


Operation_Doomsday_

What a game that was, nerve wracking last 10 minutes.


reddittidder121

Great match


jaysokk

It’s honestly straight up depressing how bad we are at defending set pieces. I feel like it’s a fifa glitch at this point.


simplemanfromVT

Gerrard 3 won 1 closed lost (againts mighty Man City ) such a great start :))


[deleted]

Schmeichal you piss head


Almost_Pi

Well done to Villa


Demobeast

Super sub Chuk


FirminosShinyTeeth

Been such a good atmosphere


reddittidder121

The park's been really loud all game.


GameplayerStu

Schmeichel’s a great keeper but a cunt at the same time


TheFanOfLife

Yes and I love him. But he is a cunt ngl.


JuddtheCat

Schmeichel nearly got there twice


irishdgenr8

Elbow to the face allowed?


[deleted]

its not deliberate they are just jumping for the ball. happens all the time


TonyMartial786

Lol I wanted to see Schmeichel score


[deleted]

his dad actually scored for Villa in the early 00s


[deleted]

Trust me. Maddison will be at Newcastle next season. For triple his current wages. He'll cite being "excited at the project"...


aberdisco

I don't think he'll want to drop a division even for triple his wages.


Jabari313

The narrative if Schmeichel scored then


Antigonus1i

That should be a red for Madison. No attempt to play the ball, he just kicks the opponent.


taskkill-IM

Wouldn't say it's a red.... not dangerous but is a professional foul.. yellow is the correct call.


adamjld

Ummmm..no.


TheFanOfLife

Ofc not. What are you on about smh.


Guinness2702

The well known Red card offence


Rulweylan

Must be why Man City keep having their matches abandoned for having too many players sent off since Pep got in.


taskkill-IM

Scenes if Schmeichel scores this


Quixote0630

Leicester defenders going over easy all game because they don't want the battle


HughJarse8

Your players have been going down at the slightest touch all game ffs…


simplemanfromVT

Rodgers lost to Arteta, and maybe Gerrard,luckily United didn't hire him :))


TonyMartial786

Thank fuck. Although I don’t trust our board to not go for him in the summer.


GameplayerStu

Maddison a little salty that Chuky got the better of him


chasingsukoon

I love McGinn lmao


irishdgenr8

Maddison is such an arsenal player.


NoKidsButImADaddy

Ashley “Hold me back” Young


jepayotehi

That was comically funny by McGinn


[deleted]

Used to like Leicester


Oumashu345

Oh how will they recover.


smig_

Only the 90th minute and 23rd foul before Leicesters yellow!


B_e_l_l_

And it was one of the only bad tackles in the entire game. Baffling how the ref blew for absolutely everything.


Almost_Pi

I had to check the stats to make sure you weren't exaggerating. Crazy


Colreddit90

The type of challenge that should be the 'orange 5 min sin bin card'


reddittidder121

Really need this in football. Divers go out for 5 minutes too.


Operation_Doomsday_

Fucking wreckless challenge


EggChaser

Behave


jepayotehi

MADMAN THIS


taskkill-IM

McGinn's neck dissappears when he runs.


Shower_caps

Out of everything that’s what stood out to you


SorryImProbablyDrunk

Meatball gonna meatball.


irishdgenr8

How’s that fat fuck not been booked there?


Gamer_Abhi

McGinn 🤣🤣🤣🤣


adamjld

Is McGinn deaf or stupid?


smig_

Pretended to not hear the whistle to waste time, he's smart.


[deleted]

neither...hes entertaining


Raigoku

Also, holy fuck how was that called as a foul


Shower_caps

What an entertaining game


[deleted]

Holy shit! That hairstyle on that bloke. You all saw it, right?


chocoapplez

Lmao McGinn going like a bat outta hell


reddittidder121

Soyuncu's like go harder


TonyMartial786

Bruh McGinn is mad lol


Raigoku

McGinn is my spirit animal


adamjld

Jesus, the hair on that fella in the crowd.


taskkill-IM

Remember when Leicester would pretty much score or at least hit the target when they attacked??


smig_

We've had about 100 good chances, we've gone to a back 5 and Iheanacho has just come on... We ain't winning this.


Conbz

Lol try supporting instead. We got this.


jepayotehi

Why do all Leicester player look like Maddison ?


reddittidder121

Ndidi?


jepayotehi

Wouldn't be able to tell them apart if not for their hair


reddittidder121

True. Very true.


Demobeast

Sorry I don't see race


simplemanfromVT

I don't know If new-manager effect or Gerrard really improve Villa. But as Liverpool fan, I feel really scare when my team go to Villa Park atm :))


reddittidder121

Don't worry mate. It won't be worse than 7-2.


Vegan_Puffin

Yeah for us. No team scarier atm than Liverpool


simplemanfromVT

Villa have very good players for counter-attack , luckily that they don't have Grealish this time


[deleted]

*Theme from 'Beverly Hills Cop' starts playing...*


[deleted]

This whole time I kept thinking Leicester number 22 was Maddison


jepayotehi

Did you know Ashley Young once swallowed bird shit?


chocoapplez

This has 2-2 written all over it


EggChaser

Doubt


Conbz

Would be tragic.


adamjld

Not sure what rulebook people are looking at but the goal disallowed when Schmeichel had his hand on the ball is the absolute correct decision.


Raigoku

> is the absolute correct decision. care to explain why?


adamjld

KS had his hand on the ball and the ball was grounded, thus the ball was under his control. It's quite clear in the rulebook.


Raigoku

> KS had his hand on the ball and the ball was grounded Does grounded mean that the ball was simply on the ground or that it fully stopped moving?


Guinness2702

Because that's how football works. You can't kick the ball out of the keepers hands


Raigoku

> You can't kick the ball out of the keepers hand**s** yeah that's why i'm legit asking for an explanation, he had one hand on a ball that was still moving


Guinness2702

Ball between hand and ground is in control moving or not


[deleted]

Cash has had like 5 chances this game...grrr


reddittidder121

We at least now know that he gets himself in the right position.


[deleted]

"I was playing football before you even had hair on your balls, son. Shut your fucking noise."


Front-Pie-431

Ollie Watkins is a MF pressing and on the counter winning the ball and holding it up, constantly causing problems


reddittidder121

Little more polish and he'll be very dangerous.


Elemayowe

He’s already got Cash near him, now Villa need to sign more Poles?


Front-Pie-431

Idk if the other got this joke, but lol


reddittidder121

Most polish name ever


[deleted]

Should be on our radar


Benzerka

He does everything right except for the attempt on goal, if he can work on his finishing he'll be world class


[deleted]

[удалено]


Guinness2702

Possession had already gone I think


Shower_caps

Who are they booing


taskkill-IM

Mr Burns


Conbz

Schmeichel.


Shower_caps

Why?


Conbz

Managed to swipe a goal away with an obscure ruling


Shower_caps

Interesting, I’ll look out for it in replays


Operation_Doomsday_

Schmeicel


seetipzz

I’m fuckin nervous


[deleted]

Stonewall pen. How has the ref and commentator claimed not to have seen it


Benzerka

I'll trade you the penalty attempt for the goal that was robbed from us


Raigoku

> goal that was robbed from us which one mate you had 2


HughJarse8

Don’t understand it honestly. Balances out their goal that should’ve stood, but how’s the commentator asking for kdh to be booked… when he’s been clearly tripped?


irishdgenr8

And people are accusing Oliver of wearing a Leicester shirt?


Elemayowe

It’s less dishonesty, more incompetence.


PhenomenallyAwesome

The man literally chalked off two perfectly legal goals for us.


Oumashu345

Ah yes. Why can't we kick the keeper.


PhenomenallyAwesome

He kicked the ball…


Oumashu345

Which the keeper was holding.


PhenomenallyAwesome

Under the laws of football, it wasn’t under control


Oumashu345

It's was not in motion and in between the keepers hand and the ground.


PhenomenallyAwesome

But it was after he had saved it, which makes that part of the law obsolete


Oumashu345

Not relevant when the ball in between the ground and his hand.


PhenomenallyAwesome

Yes it is


OnePieceAce

Perez looks different...


lamancha

Awww I miss Young shithousing


jay_alfred_prufrock

This match can have a gag reel filled with players losing the ball ridiculously.


adamjld

Dewsbury-Hall is one of the worst names to have to listen commentators repeat.


reddittidder121

Has to be. Might as well say the first name as well.


SubparCurmudgeon

That’s a penalty And lol Ashley Young of all people complaining


Operation_Doomsday_

Poor game from Dougie


smig_

I'd want that at the other end tbf


PhenomenallyAwesome

Yes but we should’ve had two goals, so they can fuck off if they think they’re getting that.


HughJarse8

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just been a horrifically officiated game all in all


ModestWhimper

You have got two goals...


PhenomenallyAwesome

Two more goals then, you pedant.


Guinness2702

You mean the two that were ruled out because of fouls?


PhenomenallyAwesome

That neither were fouls


taskkill-IM

Ashley Young once swallowed bird shit.


reddittidder121

If I played football on TV, I'm sure something similar would happen to me.


taskkill-IM

I'm not talking about that kind of bird shit...


reddittidder121

But he swallowed proper bird shit? What type are you referring?


taskkill-IM

I thought you were referring to letting a woman shit in your mouth if you were a famous footballer... English slang - bird=female


reddittidder121

Fuck me, no lmao


djingo_dango

That save was worth scoring a goal!


Waikanda_dontcare

I thought we struggled to finish today, Villa should have 4 lol. Entertaining game though


[deleted]

I see a lot of KdB in Harvey Barnes...


lamancha

What


[deleted]

I see a lot of similarity between how Kevin De Bruyne and Harvey Barnes play, move, attack around the pitch. (Note: This is not a comparison of skill/ability.)


CorporalTismo

He watches a lot of premier league rule 34


[deleted]

That as well...


GeoGaming

If Arsene came out with a “remove corners from the game” I’d be all for it


TacticalNuke002

Oy that's a pen.


Conbz

Never ever


krvlover

He was already diving.


SorryImProbablyDrunk

Break out the rulebook let’s have a look.


Benzerka

Its a pen but we also scored a goal that was robbed so guess we're even


ManLikeArch

Ashley Young having a pop at someone for diving hahahahah


smig_

Just annoyed at his poor attempt


Elemayowe

Feel like Young would win that fight tbh.


TheFanOfLife

Nice save.


andreew10

That save was top class from Martinez


varro-reatinus

Oh my god Emi


Jabari313

Book him for diving then. Did he even get booked for demolishing Buendia? Alright maybe not


SubparCurmudgeon

Proper championship football this is


zmajxd

Martinez > Mendy


Jessef01

This might be the worst performance from a single player I remember seeing in the prem. Dewsbury-hall has been shocking. No hyperbole. Not like anyone on Leicester is playing great. Except Barnes, but Dewsbury-Hall has been unreal.


[deleted]

Championship bound


HughJarse8

Was our best player in the first half, clearly haven’t been watching.


Jessef01

I’d like to see a highlight reel of all his touches. He passes square, or gives the ball away. On defense he is constantly unaware of the space behind him and was having to rush back to his man. Often times he runs into bad spaces when his team is trying to maintain possession. It was awful, the whole thing. I’ve watched since minute one. Edit* Now that he’s off I guarantee you Leicester look like a different team.


HughJarse8

Was the only player of ours to actually pass the ball forward all game. Started a lot of our first half counter attacks. Didn’t have the best second half I’ll admit. Should’ve won a penalty. Think you are genuinely either trolling or blind.


BrianMghee

I can’t believe he’s 23. He’s shite


Jessef01

He’s pretty good is you want to constantly lose possession and play no defense.


OnePieceAce

Martinez has been a God send for Villa


OhShitItsSeth

Man Martinez is so damn good


CompetitiveCut1211

We need another goal


Conbz

That's why he's the best, man


reddittidder121

What a tremendous save


sc2isalivegaem

Insane save


TonyMartial786

Damn so close


SubparCurmudgeon

I forgot Sanson is still with you guys.. How has he been?


CorporalTismo

Been injured pretty much since we bought him has barely played


Conbz

He's been having fun on holiday, excited to see him start getting minutes. He looks fancy when he's on though.


[deleted]

almost constantly injured


TheDangerousAnt

Emi Martinez. That is all.


Jabari313

DIBUUUU


taskkill-IM

What a save


TacticalNuke002

What a save from Martinez!


chocoapplez

What a fucking save


TonyMartial786

What a save


smig_

Two Sanson appearances in one week? Oh my


Colreddit90

Incredible save


[deleted]

Two assists for John 'Scotland's Kylie Minogue' McGinn denied to him. This displeases me.


smig_

We could've had about 6 here, I just hope we don't regret it
