Aston Villa (A) 21/9: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tony Towner]

Gary O’Neil book of management.

Rule 1: go 1-0 up, change the tactics so that regardless of circumstance, we defend the edge of our box until the opposition score.

Rinse/repeat.

Fucking bored of it.

I'm not even sure it's a deliberate change of tactics. What he's asking of the players is unsustainable beyond an hour, we don't have the players to replace them like for like and he's incapable of being creative in finding alternatives

 

[Templeton Peck]

If Mosquera's injured we're all kinds of fucked

 

[Squeak]

Like watching an England batting performance...

 

[Jack Regan]

Out of curiosity, when was our last clean sheet?

In the league February 24th beating Sheffield Utd 1-0.

 

[Alan]

Sheff Utd in the league in February.

Yeah, that feels right.

 

[Templeton Peck]

We'd have to go back 3 if he's fucked.

 

[Squeak]

Tend to agree. You need a deep bench to play the pressing game for 90 to 100 minutes.

 

[Lichens]

If it was up to me I’d have sent him off and told the Wolves players to score more goals

 

[Jack Regan]

If Mosquera's injured we're all kinds of fucked

But not signing a centre half was fine...

 

[The Bear]

Why was Mosquera booked? It was shoulder to shoulder with Watkins. He didn't pull him down or anything.

 

[Jack Regan]

Why was Mosquera booked? It was shoulder to shoulder with Watkins. He didn't pull him down or anything.

Because the referee is a colossal bellend.

 

[Alan]

We can just play the Kilman replacement we bought instead

I mean fuck Fosun and all but out of the nonsense we’ve been fed, Yerson being Kilman’s replacement was by far the least nonsensical.

 

[Johnny75]

We'd have to go back 3 if he's fucked.

Might be an issue with that...

 

[Alan]

Because the referee is a colossal bellend.

Knowing Yerson, he’s been booked for telling the ref as such

 

[The Bear]

Once again the subs have come too late. Waste of time doing it after we've conceded Gaz.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Why was Mosquera booked? It was shoulder to shoulder with Watkins. He didn't pull him down or anything.

Cos he's wearing a Wolves shirt. No seriously, apparently he pulled down the forward before getting hit.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Well we now have a centre back pairing that could be outpaced by a traction engine.

 

[Lichens]

There will be a winner

 

[Tony Towner]

There will be a winner

It's only going one way

 

[Lichens]

It's only going one way

Only one team can win yes I agree
