Ratings and Reactions: Villa - Leicester

[Rodders]

first half showed how low the confidence was

second half, was refreshing to see how possible it is for them to be revitalised. 

although benteke was rubbish, he was at least trying much better and the touch will come with games again I am now more confident of that. 

[kidlewis]

Sunderland losing to

Bradford now

[Rodders]

Vlaar MOTM. Have no problem swapping Given for Guzman. Benteke not right/fit but good assist. Bacuna didn't do much before the goal but crossing slightly better than the rest of the team. Still need a lower league club in next round to have a chance of progressing and hope the Prem teams knock each other out.

[DCJonah]

Controversial but I'd probably say Sherwood is the best manager we've had in 30 years.

[Hanky]

Better second half. We actually looked like we had a plan.

[Jareth]

Good to see Fox fist pumping in his leather gloves

 

edit - wtf is there a hyperlink on leather gloves to some crap pile shopping site? Weren't me gov

Great to be in the hat. Decent game. Good to see a lively celebration of our second from the new boy. Always nice to remind Leicester they're not a real rival.

[JoeParker91]

That save from Given was the best save I think I've ever seen whilst being at a match. Well done boys.

[foreveryoung]

Could be Bradford in the next round, imagine that. If we won that Sherwood would feel the love

[samjp26]

I'd love it if Bradford won and then we get them in the draw

 

2nd half we looked like a different team, when Gil comes back in and with Sanchez hopefully ready to come back in for Westwood or Cleverley, we should be able to push on. Looks like Sherwood made a difference already.

Surprised how empty VT is this afternoon - we just won a game - scored twice in the second half - into the QFs - well worth some jubilation.

[Honest bunch of lads]

Well done lads, particularly Vlaar, Given and great to see Sherwood get down there at half time to give his input. Very positive second half and into the quarter finals!

[kidlewis]

So the third best thing about that game was Clarke tackle

[The_Lions_Roar]

Second half was great, shame we conceded though. Bradford next to get revenge!

[Kingman]

We are the famous… The Famous Holte End!!!!!!!!!

[ozvillafan]

Ball in the net 4 times! Shame 2 of them were offside, particularly Benteke's one.

[TreeVillan]

I love how Sherwood is getting all the credit here, the Marshall's should be getting some sort of applause to.

[Razor]

Why were Gil & Gabby not in the squad, injuries?

[Danishlad]

I love how Sherwood is getting all the credit here, the Marshall's should be getting some sort of applause to.

no marshall set the team up like Lambert, and was about to take bacuna off just before he scored. Swithching to 4121 di the trick, pushing Weimann and the midfielders closer to Benteke.  Id like to think that was Sherwood.

We looked dire in the first half
