Leicester 0-0 Villa: player ratings on a disappointing afternoon

Attackers

Ademola Lookman: 6/10 – I thought Lookman had a good game and played nicely on the wing with Dewsbury-Hall and Castagne. He won the ball to put Daka through on goal in the 52nd minute. In addition to blocking a switch played by Matty Cash on one occasion.

James Maddison: 5/10 – Had a quiet game, possibly because he was played on the wing rather than in his favoured No.10 position. Although it’s not a decent excuse because he has played well in that role before. His corner taking wasn’t the best, as they struggled to go beyond the first man. Had two free kicks but nothing came of them. Received a yellow card.

Patson Daka: 6/10 – A better performance due to pressing the defenders and sometimes winning the ball from them. Not to mention closing down the keeper. He got through on goal a few times but it is hard for him because there is not a lot being supplied. However, in the 15th minute he found Lookman, who ended up losing the ball. The winger really he should’ve held the ball and driven forward into the space in front of him, which would’ve opened up play for Daka.

Substitutes

Jamie Vardy: 5/10 – Can’t really judge because he didn’t impact the game massively but made a few runs up top and won a defensive header from a corner.

Harvey Barnes: Not applicable – Didn’t impact the contest, but also didn’t do anything bad.

Ayoze Perez: N/A – Again didn’t really influence the match but didn’t do anything to hinder it either.
