Ratings and Reactions: Villa - Leicester

[Condimentalist]

Yeah I think credit where it's due, Sherwood obviously geed them up a bit and told them to keep it simple. Did the trick. 

[PandaMac]

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.

Everyone's having a piss up that's why.

Better after the half, but we're still so so static going forward, it's embarrassing. We have no width on the left hand side, and Hutton is our entire right hand side (and his crossing is poor at best). Hopefully Sherwood can address this. Wouldn't mind someone like Townsend in the Summer.

 

A note on Kramaric from Leicester too, he looks like he'll turn out to be a very good player. 

[Ponky]

Good job.

 

Bacuna is a really frustrating project. I question whether the positive things he does outweigh the negatives or vice versa, but today the positives won out.

 

Benteke getting there - just bad luck and great keeping prevented him from scoring.

 

Westwood and Cleverley were good.

 

Leicester helped us out immensely with the amount of times they gave it away.

 

Loved Sherwood's fist pumps when we scored. He looks bloody excited to get started.

I kinda like this feeling after we've actually won a match!

You've got a good memory then?

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

First half was shit. Sherwood had a word at half time and second half was great. Thought the subs were done the. wrong way round. Sinclair on for wiemann as bacuna had just scored and then grealish for bacuna later on.

Given or Clark for MOTM for me. I think Marshall got it right by resting Okore as well. Would love Bradford at home in the quarter final.....how I would love to get revenge on them!

Well done 100% Tim

[squirdle]

Sherwood did more in 15 minutes than Lambert did in 2 and a half years.

[Paul33]

Great game from Cleverley (yes I did just say that) and Weimann ..... both really put in a big shift out there !

[The_Lions_Roar]

Just seen bacuna in tgi Fridays in Sutton, too scared to say anything

[smetrov]

 

 

Why is Sherwood wearing a fulham scarf !

[Rugeley Villa]

i enjoyed the second half and thought we showed some bollocks.

[Robbie09]

Cleverley MOTM today for me, deserves credit today.

 

Those who booed when his name was read out pre match need have to have a look at themselves.

[Delphinho123]

Bacuna and weimann were awful. Much rather see Sinclair and Gil in those positions.

Great to see us progress to the quarters, we're still shit though.

[tinker]

Cissoko, Westwood and Delph in the first half were hopeless. 2nd half the midfield got pushed up behind Benteke and it made all the difference. Benteke won the first ball and the 2nd was 50/50 chance for our midfielders. Cleverley looked better than he has done all season, well done.

 

Its going to be a hard run in but we have given ourselves a chance with Sherwood, his second half changes, a kick up the arse, did its job.

[AValon]

Pleased with Cleverlys contribution today. Clark, also, becoming a no-nonsense hard tackling centre back, showing a tremendous amount of gritznd determination. The lads worked hard.

Up front , we still looked pretty shoddy at times, but I expect Sherwood will turn that round.

Fairly pleased with the end result, but theres a lot of work to be done.

[Rodders]

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

 

yes.

[Mantis]

All hail Sherwood.

 

Westwood MoTM for me - controlled the game completely.

[Me burns]

Gents. filbert in peace. Painful to watch. We are toast. I think now 'shitbert' is gone, you will stay up, you looked a million times better, albeit against awful opponents, I thought we were comfortable first half, Sherwoods half time rollicking worked. Pearson is frankly bonkers. Shame it wasn't 2-1 at half time, would have been an even better second half. Great finish from Bacuna, the 'Veteran' in goal gifted you the second. Great header but too little too late. Now we can concentrate on getting relegated, I'm going to drink heavily now. Good evening.
