Popular Post LondonLax Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 They are a side challenging for the Champions League places and we’ve gone up there and gone toe to toe in that half. I think that shows our quality this season. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Leicester definitely had the first 15 but I think we have been the better team after that. Trezeguet imo should have scored and that filth from Jack deserved a goal. I'd like Barkley to shoot a bit more though he's had a couple of opportunities where I think he passed them up. I'd like Watkins to pull out on Castagne a little more as he is looking dangerous for them. And we should give Fofana a bit more of a hard time.

Nigel Posted October 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2020 The worry is we have a tiring McGin on a yellow, and they have Maddison to come off the bench. We could do with the ability to freshen up that midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvonVillain Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Would be delighted with a 0 - 0 here. We look like a proper Premier League team able to compete anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Dunno who will be happier. Leicester have been the better team but we've basically cancelled each other out. I'd definitely take a point here, but it doesn't look like we are playing for a point. Ollie has been quiet, we've looked to Jack too much and Leicester have been able to deal with it because they've been expecting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only other match I've seen of him was against PSG last month and he handled Neymar and Mbappe as well as he's handling our forwards. probably a bit unlucky the rest are injured. Fofana plays really well imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Their plan is to kick Jack if they can get anywhere near him at all, and Jon Moss is letting them do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably did, but Cash should have won the first challenge he was in prime position and got there first , he shouldn’t need to foul there if he had done his job properly in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 So the ref is a joke. More than slightly biased, just shocking. The scissor tackle, no booking,. The repeated fouling by nacho, no booking. Castagne, repeated fouling, including one that was arguably a booking in its own right, no booking. One foul and then a fair tackle by McGinn, booking. Dickhead. Couple of sloppy passes from Luiz and Mings have invited pressure but the mop up acts have dealt with that pressure very well. Shame we're playing against the ref as well as Leicester. I fear that with Maddison to bring off the bench for them i can only see Leicester getting stronger, and us getting more tired, with no real options on the bench. Hope we get an early goal after half time and the the ref sorts out his booking system next half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaFaninLondon Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Can see there being 1 goal in this. Hopefully in our favour. Cagey game so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 This could go either way, cancelling each other out is the best way to describe it as would snatch a result should either team win it if the 2nd half plays out the same our improvement is showing tonight that’s for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Grealish great as always but there has been a few occasions where he has taken a couple of touches too many instead of releasing the ball early to teammates running into areas. Minor complains but still. Edited October 18, 2020 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Good game so far, evenly matched, some misplaced passes from us but other than that very organized, what a difference from that Liverpool game, just makes you realize what a freak result that was with such open play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
