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

[Jinky]

KEEP THE BALL FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS.

 

[prawnking]

I'm sure Rodrigo looked faster in pre-season

 

[Tony Towner]

Only one team can win yes I agree

How's that working for you, Mr Smug?

 

[t3ch]

sigh.

 

[Lichens]

There will be a winner

There you have it get your tenners in next time

 

[Squeak]

Oh just fuck off.....

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Inevitable

 

[BGreenWolf]

Like day following fucking night.

 

[Alan]

Not for nothing, we’ve offered less than fuck all since Jørgen went off.

Gary’s done.

 

[Lichens]

How's that working for you, Mr Smug?

Villa just scored the winner mate

 

[Jack Regan]

There you go! Awful from Lemina.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Utterly shite game management.

 

[Alan]

There you go! Awful from Lemina.

He can’t mark three guys!

 

[wanderer89]

Is the new set piece coach an Albion fan?

 

[Jack Regan]

B

He can’t mark three guys!

He wasn't marking any of them, he was ball watching.

 

[The Bear]

Speechless at how we keep doing it. Lemina again switching off. And once again as the furthest forward CM he should have been the one going off for Doyle not Gomes.

Is Lemina getting the captaincy keeping him on the pitch when he should be going off? It seems that way.

 

[Squeak]

Why do we always have to take an extra touch instead of shooting? Offside anyway...

 

[Jinky]

And there we go. 2-1.

Checklist:

Play well go a goal up, don’t take the chance when we’re on top. Tick.

Don’t make correct changes & tactically have us defend for 30 minutes on the edge of the box. Tick.

Concede again to lose. Tick.

We’ve been fucking abysmal in the second half. Not strung more than two passes together for about half hour and offered absolutely nothing. It’s been like watching some plucky league 2 team try to hold on to a lead in a cup game.

O’Neil can fuck off, Shi & Fosun can fuck off, this ref can fuck off.

I genuinely don’t know what he could have done to stop that. It was an organizational failure more than an individual one.

He stopped instead of following Konsa and the ball in.
