Aston Villa 1/2 - Build Up & Match Thread

[The Bear]

Watkins done his groin by the looks of it.

Thank fuck they haven't got Rashford to come on against us

 

[Hereford Wolf]

We played so well but the missed chances are so frustrating. Second half will be really hard.

That is a bold claim!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Played really well. Which was not on the cards.

Sarabia and Bellegarde with performances out of nowhere.

Guedes is what he is, please not let that cost us.

 

[Tredman]

That is a bold claim!

Don’t know what you’re on about.

Should be all over very good so far pls back it up second half

 

[The Bear]

Showed the replays. Yeah Cunha definitely complaining to JRB that he didn't square it when he scored. And immediately on at Guedes after he'd missed his one on one. Probably why he hesitated thinking he should be up alongside him.

 

[C.L.D]

Bellegarde the #8/#10 we've always needed? Did wonder when he signed where his best position was and how he looked better centrally.

All that for 1 goal of output though. Still a half to go and we know how bad our defending is.

No mention of Cunha missing a 1 v 1?

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Good that Villa have three yellows and a bonus that Watkins is struggling with a groin strain. We’ll be blowing out of our arses by 80 minutes and apart from Gomes not a lot on the bench. Need to hang in there and take a chance when it comes along.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Think Cunha and Guedes (third attempt) chose the wrong finishes.

Cunha could have opened up and slipped it rather than going across Martinez and Guedes could have tried to dink it.

Hopefully doesn't haunt us.

Bellegarde the #8/#10 we've always needed? Did wonder when he signed where his best position was and how he looked better centrally.

We've managed to get other players back around him and André helping out defensively. Certainly freed him up a bit to do his thing.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No mention of Cunha missing a 1 v 1?

Sorry, didn't realise I was supposed to provide a dispassionate report of everything that had happened. Except that would take forever.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Excellent so far. Could be 4.

 

[The Bear]

I really can't overestimate how much I hate Micah Richards and his wanky webuyanycar ads.

 

[The Bear]

4 changes for Villa coming up. Malen coming on was one of them.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Villa making 4 changes?

Ex-fucking-scuse you

 

[The Bear]

Onana, Bailey, Malen, Maatsen all on.

Garcia, Digne, Watkins, Ramsey all off.
