Aston Villa fans have laid into Marvelous Nakamba after his latest performance against Leicester City.

Villa managed to pick up a credible 1-1 draw with Leicester last night in the first-leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

Villa put in a solid defensive performance, as they gave themselves a good chance of making it through to Wembley.

Many of Dean Smith’s side’s players earned praise for their efforts against Leicester yesterday.

However, Villa fans have slated Nakamba, and there are serious concerns over whether he has enough quality to play for them now.

Nakamba’s place in Villa’s first-team could actually come under threat, as Smith has already strengthened his midfield in January.

Villa snapped up Danny Drinkwater, and it could be that the Chelsea loanee replaces Nakamba in the claret and blues’ starting line-up, unless the Zimbabwean international improves.
