Ratings & Reactions: LCSF1 Leicester v Villa

[Kiwivillan]

Great result against one of the best teams in the league away. Obviously Smith Out

[PieFacE]

Good result. Decent performance really considering. Need players quick.

[supermon]

Mings and Nyland were an absolute rock. For their goal, why didn't we just punt it up if there were no other options... annoying

[flashingqwerty]

First half was very very good.

Result, whilst it might have been better, is brilliant.

Poor game management in sticking 11 behind the ball from half time, when should have been trying to keep the ball and take the sting out of them, but hey-ho.

Promising for the return leg.

[kidlewis]

I think that’s all we could have hoped for considering we passed as lose as bowels riddled with norvirus.

 

nyland was brilliant, don’t think he made a single mistake.

mings excellent

jack was good

Guilbert and El Ghazi above average

rest fairly poor, passing not good enough especially. 
 

we pressed and defended well and our shape was much better. 

[Troglodyte]

Great fans. Mings a leader and a colussus. Defence very good overall other than Taylor who is a shocking excuse for a footballer.

Nyland absolutely fantastic.

Grealish mature.

Douglas Luiz very poor, and I've thought that a few times this season. He's got a touch of quality about him at times but so much seems to be lacking. Still not sure if the issue is mental or related to ability.

Nakamba: some great interceptions. Woeful passing. We lost the ball way too often in midfield between him and Douglas.

Pleased with the draw but disappointed at the goal we conceded.

[Nigel]

Credit Deano with that, his system worked a treat!

Mings and Nyland were massive today, Grealish too.....obviously!

Great result that sets up a classic night at VP!

[AVTuco]

Great result, and wonderful performances from Mings and Nyland. Maybe we could trust him after all for the next couple months?

Gave Mings MOTM but Nyland was really good. Not sure we need to look outside the club to replace Heaton?

I've been saying Nyland has looked good since back from injury and deserves a go

[villa4europe]

Mings was immense

Awful mistake again ruined a good game plan and good all round performances

You can ask why we don't try and play more football but then you see Nakamba, Taylor and most disappointing Luiz doing bambi on ice impressions every time they get the ball and should understand what our problem is 

[osmark86]

Our defensive line with the exception of Taylor was brilliant. Learn how to pass and keep possession and we're a proper unit. Solid performance!

[LxYoungAVFC]

MOTM between Nyland and Mings. Both had great games.

Nakamba and Luiz were dogshit.

I’ll take that result

[jim]

I’ll take a draw.

Sloppy goal and I blame Konsa more than Luiz. However, we had been battered for much of the game and the players were physically and mentally ****. 

[chrisp65]

Did we score with every shot on target?

Can’t argue with that, that’s a league title winning stat.

[thunderball]

The future right there. A new striker and stronger bench and I feel much much happier.

Special shout to Nyland who looked like a premier league goal keeper, terrific to see and long may it continue - good on him, great mental strength, a fighter.

[rbcuk]

Nyland motm for me, looked a completely different keeper from last season, why didn’t konsa just hoof that free kick instead of that stupid pass to Luiz 

[samjp26]

Seeing Guilbert looking angry and shaking his head after the match gives me some hope, but it is clear there are players in our squad who just aren't up to the task. Mentally, technically? I don't know, but we definitely need improvements. 

Think Jack did a good job where/when he could, Nyland or Mings MOTM but even Hause/Guilbert/Konsa all did decent.

Full credit to the ref for the assist.

[CosmicVillan]

Would 100% have snapped your hand off for a 1-1 at the start..ended up slightly dissappointed we gave a sloppy goal away but well done ..all set for 2nd leg now
