Here we go again then, another match against the team that’s bottom of the league.
It’s one that really ought to be a shoe-in, but these days I have such little confidence in the Villa being able to beat anybody, hence I’m not counting any chickens.
That said, if we can’t beat Leicester, you have to wonder who we can beat.
So with much trepidation I’m actually going to predict a win.
Leicester have their best defender and captain suspended for this game, so I’d take us to score at least one goal, probably with Benteke scoring.
Line ups
Aston Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Sanchez, Westwood, Cleverley, N’Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Benteke
Subs: Given, Lowton, Herd, Richardson, Bacuna, Grealish, Robinson
Leicester: Simpson, Wasilewski, Moore, Konchesky; Mahrez, Cambiasso, James, Schlupp; Vardy, Ulloa
Subs: Drinkwater, King, Albrighton, Hamer, Powell, Nugent, Wood
So only the one change then, with N’Zogbia in for the suspended Weimann.
I’ll go for 2-1
Up the Villa!
2-1 Leicester.
COYL!!!!
Benteke looks surprisingly sharp.
Bloody hell !
Fucking SHITE here we go,well done Teflon.
IIRC, we haven’t gone on to win a game after going behind up to now 🙁
Oh well game over
Clarke you beauty!!!!
Fucking get in there,badger hopefull. Not today MATE.
Hopefully #
Richardson?
If ever there was a game where we should be going for it, this is it, imo.
Lambert out he has a chance with bacuna greenish and sticks Richardson on I hate him
What does Bacuna seriously have to do to get a game? He actually can play as a CM. Richardson… No. Richardson can hardly play his own position well…
Looked a bad injury for Westwood though, awful challenge by Vardy.
Unbelievable Lambert! He is already playing with 2 passengers in Cissoko and N’zogbia and he brings on Richardson! Benteke = natural left winger, Gabby = natural left winger, Cissoko left wing standing spare part. So where does N’zogbia pop up after half an hour? You guessed!
Is there nobody in this wretched team who can play wide right except Hutton?
OLL, I actually suspect that’s tactics.
If Lambert wanted N’zog on the right, surely he’d tell him?
I know what you mean though.
We’ve totally gone off the boil in the last 15.
There actually is, it was his usual position in Holland, his name… Bacuna.
Commentator just said no one on the bench has scored or assisted. Bacuna and Grealish are the only ones who have actually played from the bench in any attacking area and they’ve played very few minutes. But thank you commentator for… Knowing this. Now if Bacuna and Grealish actually played more than 10 minutes a game, they may very much have had an assist or goal.
There half, back to Guzan???
God, that’s pathetic!
I hate watching N’Zogbia play. Always loses the ball, gets angry and usually attempts to foul the player he passes too. He really needs to come off.
Grealish !
Come on nip!
Another CM injured. This is going well…
This must be our best chance of 3points this season so far,Leicester are SHITE. COYL
Mutton, get in!!!
Benteke with the assist!
Well done Gabby, great pass to Benteke, calm pass to Hutton. Hutton has so much time and makes it 2-1!
I do think Clark and Okore are pretty much taking turns who’s going to be man of the match in defense. Okore’s been a rock.
That’s more like it now keep it up & don’t sit back.UTV double figures for goals scored HAPPY days
5 mins that will change our season. Sub. Gabby passes to Benteke. Get in Hutton
Finally Bacuna gets a chance, unfortunate for Robinson.
Benteke… Wow… That was a class save.
