NFR: Villa v Leicester

[SP]

Interesting game with Villa kicking Leicester off the park. How Matt Targett is still on the pitch is a mystery.

Really brings home the gap watching Leicester move the ball at pace & creating their own space.

Not disappointed to see Villa get smashed. It's a shame for Leicester that Liverpool are so good this year as they could be on course for 2nd. Doubt they'll be disappointed with Champions League football though. BR doing a fantastic job there.

Is Grealish related to Tom Daley ? They possess such similar skills....

[Sgt Fulham]

Why would you dive when 4-1 down in the 90th minute? Grealish needs a ban.

Apart from the diving, his continual barking in the referee ear to get players booked drives me insane.

Fully expect him to burst into tears most games . Doing a Fulham after all ?

Doing a "Fulham and a half".
They spent £150m
lol

I both hope and expect they'll go down, but at this stage last season we were 20th with 9 pts, whereas they're now 17th with 15 pts, so they're doing much better than we did

Would love one of the claret & blue teams to drop but I'm concerned Bournemouth may take the third relegation place.  Dropping down the table & more injuries to key players.

Our players should watch a video of how Leceister play. Very fast and chase every ball. Play as a team. A pleasure to watch

So right - no substitute for pace in the end

Kebano and AK livened up the whole team when they came on

Proper attacking and direct play instead of watching 80 minutes of the ball pinging back and forth along the back 4

I think the Leicester side looks better than the one that won the league in such spectacular style.

Yeah. And weirdly without Kante and Mahrez who were the "catalyst".
Fair play to Vardy as well. From non league to England international.

If you look at the fixtures villa have played rather than the number of games ,they haven't done much better than us . Main difference is they beat a depleted Norwich where as we lost to both Cardiff and Huddersfield , they beat Newcastle at home , otherwise very similar set of results against the same teams .
