Apparently our players didn't know the rules either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We need a striker. We simply don't look capable of scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 well could be worse, but we still don't look like scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only our idiot scouts could find someone like him instead of Rudy gestede Yeah but he would be shit at flick-ons and holding the ball up from long balls. Would've been a waste of money.

sexbelowsound Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 That's a first for me as well. Never heard the no offside from a goalkick rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fantastic flick from Vardy to be fair over the keeper. One of our players should have been to the rebound first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If you can't be offside from a goal kick, why wouldn't your striker always stand miles up the pitch for a goal kick and you punt it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Who the **** let Tim Sherwood back on the TV? The goal kick thing has been in the rules for as long as offside has existed, I think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 3 minutes ago, Dr_Pangloss said: We are diabolical. This must be the most physically and mentally weakest Villa team I've seen in my lifetime. Physically we are getting absolutely dominated, Leicester much strong and faster on the ball, they hunt in packs and are out muscling all of our players. Mentally they are soooooo much sharper, always on the move, always creating space and looking to play sharp, one/two touch football. We are such a poor team. That's why they are top and we are bottom. Clearly the shitter side. We could play for days and not score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Well that was a shit half from Villa. Bunn's pen save excepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it just the keeper who collected the ball? 'Cuz you can't be offside from the former. No idea because instead of showing the action when it happened they were looking at people in the crowd. Next thing you know Vardy's lobbing the keeper. I know we haven't been great but Leicester make it incredibly difficult. They are so well organised and quick to close down and space. We've had a let off thanks to Bunn, let's hope we can come out second half with more urgency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 our defending is shambolic, whoever plays piss poor by okore and lescott for the goal, and the penalty came from a throw in into our box where all our players just stood there watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanun Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't think Leicester are actually much better than us in terms of skill. The difference here is the level of application. Leicester are moving off the ball, pressing play and causing us problems all over the pitch. Bu comparison it's like we're running through treacle.

PaulC Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We made Leicester look like Arsenal and Man City. Huge gulf between the two sides first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 that is the rule. I questioned the call, but that's because I was paying too much attention to VT and didn't notice it came directly from a goal kick. The AR knew the rule. The defenders should have known it, too. They should not have been distracted by VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
