Transferred in Barnes to my fantasy team after seeing him in the flesh against us.
Looks like a real player and has Burnley connections - thanks for the 19 pts.

Went with my son. I think Villa started with the wrong team-with no potency up front. Had the finishing 11 started they could have given Villa a proper game. All over once Leicester got their second. Villa do have some good individuals but morale and confidence were rock bottom. Mings is actually a very good centre half, extremely athletic and immensely powerful, with a very sweet left foot. Alongside someone like McGuire in the England team he would make a very good defensive pairing

I think they will struggle now to stay up

TC You are going to have to explain this one to me. My definition of a top four side would be one that has been in the top 4 for most of the season, are currently eight points clear of fifth place and don’t have an outstandingly tough run in. I acknowledge that their form recently has been indifferent and they lost to Norwich, but now Vardy is back and scoring they should hold on to their CL spot.

Just my opinion. I have seen them twice this season against us and I don't rate them as a top 4 side.
They won't finish this season in a CL spot

With Man City currently banned, 6th place are 10 points behind Leicester, with 9 games left. A big ask to expect Leicester to drop to 6th.

You said they won't finish in a CL spot which is top 5.

Big call predicting Leicester won't finish top 4,they're roughly a point a game ahead of Man Utd,who are their only serious challengers,and there's only 9 games left,also their GD is way better than the chasers,that's worth another point.

If you're going on the teams we've faced this season,Villa wouldn't be anywhere near the bottom 3,but you can't judge a team over 2 head-to-head contests.
