Aston Villa 1/2 - Build Up & Match Thread

[The Bear]

They look there to be got at. Got to keep this up for at least a full half.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Bellegarde on

 

[YoungWolf]

Who is the new bloke in the middle?

 

[The Bear]

Don Goodman absolutely right - Sarabia on his heels twice. Reckon Rodrigo would have been on the end of at least one of them.

Agreed. Getting right into the box is something he's very good at

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Santi is probably close to retiring tonight. A manager has made the call that Matt Doherty is a better option at CB. No coming back from that.

He is though.

 

[Jack Regan]

Martinez channeling Sa with this "injury".

 

[YoungWolf]

No one else in our squad makes that pass for the goal though

 

[Alan]

You know, for all that people say that getting beat at the near post is always bad keeping, it sure doesn’t seem like those are actually any easier to save given how often they happen.

Cunha can and has done.

Not when they're hot really hard, no.

If a keeper never gets beaten at the near post they will concede more to the far post.

 

[The Bear]

We've got two forwards who can run in behind with a bit of pace and turn their defence, and JRB/Sarabia making runs into the space left in front as well.

 

[Banjo]

Wasteful from Semedo. Need to make sure we make the most of the opportunities we get as I can't see us maintaining this discipline and intensity for the full 90.

 

[YorkWolf]

Great work Toti

 

[Alan]

Ahhhhhh flex on em Toti

 

[wanderer89]

John McGinn looks like a human Ditto.

 

[Alan]

Shit offside call ffs

 

[Jinky]

Bellegarde been sensational.

 

[Jack Regan]

Really need to be getting a second goal here.

 

[The Bear]

Bellegarde been sensational.

He's really upped his game and work rate today.
