Ratings and Reactions: Villa - Leicester

[KSV]

Cleverley had his best game for us. Chuffed for Sinclair and benteke for the assist. Made a great run even though he got lucky with the finish. Gil to come in too.

[Swerbs]

Cleverly had a fantastic second half.

[Zatman]

because everybody will be afraid to admit it, i thought Cleverley had a decent game in 2nd half

[choffer]

Genuinely didn't recognise us at times in the second half.

[poitier]

Good to see more players up in support of Benteke for a change. Lovely goal from Bacuna, thought Vlaar had a very good game.

[chrisp65]

I ended up enjoying that.

[packoman]

Yep Cleverley played much better.

[Zatman]

 

If the winner of the cup already has a guaranteed CL/EL spot, second place goes to Europe as well, right?

 

yes

 

so in theory we're one game from wembley, 2 games from europe if we get liverpool or utd in the final

 

 

or Arsenal

 

Reading in next round be good, just like 2010

[snowychap]

Poor in the first half; better in the second half but not great (though a lot more desire shown).

The result and the two goals scored were the important things.

i been keeping an eye on leicester forum.. they really are deluded, "we lost to the worst team in the prem" afraid the table don`t lie fekkers lol  

 

get in Villa, shay Given.....wow what a save first half and a brave hand away at the feet of a player in second.. is a pity he aint better at corners etc or he would be first choice.

 

2 goals in a game i must be dreaming

 

UTV Wembley awaits

That second half was a million times better. We actually shown desire and energy to win the ball and attack. Sherwood's little team talk obviously done some good.

 

Superb goal from Bacuna and delighted for Sinclair, even though the keeper had a mare. For once Villa haven't ruined the weekend, lets hope it continues!

[maqroll]

Shocked, terrible 1st half much much better 2nd half. Whatever Sherwood said at half time worked.

 

Credit where it's due!

Was Sherwood in the dugout?

[Nigel]

 Id forgotten we are meant to do what the other teams do!

 

Great second half, kudos to the new manager!

[Jareth]

The lion awakes... but will he resist hitting the snooze button?

No but he spoke to the lads at half time.

Thought Scoot Marshall was gonna screw us - is he loyal to avfc or lambert?

He's loyal to doing a professional job I'd say. He's getting paid to do something and he did it.
