Aston Villa (A) 6/3/21 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Nando]

Bored to tears again. Dreck.

 

[Freddeno]

we look TOTALLY out of confidence, is Nuno unable to bring that to the team then no chance he will be here next season..really like him but he need to change tactics and morale

 

[redvictor]

It doesn't help we have no one up top. But yet another piss poor first half against a pretty poor Villa team, who we've made look good.

 

[Jinky]

I feel so, so sorry for Neto and Neves having to play with this lot week in, week out.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I'm really, really fed up of watching us play like this every first half of every game. It's not entertainment, it's fucking boring. If this is on Nuno and not the players then we need to start the search for a new manager ASAP, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[SSB]

Another 45 mins of dross.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Coady has been OK this half.

Agree I was replying to someone who wants Boly on for Coady

 

[Carrotdude]

It’s honestly shocking. The worrying thing is this is how Nuno obviously wants to play. We are lucky not to behind yet again, our luck has been crazy recently.

 

[Wolvensam]

I don't think it's a tactics problem. Nuno isn't telling them go out there and just be outright lazy in possession, which is the biggest problem.

 

[Johnny75]

Bored to tears again. Dreck.

Sadly this.

It's dreadful and there's no need to play like this.

No excuses now we're more or less safe.

 

[Walnut]

We have got nowhere near the Villa goalkeeper. Absolutely awful, no threat whatsoever. I just can't understand why we're so poor.

 

[Freddeno]

tbf to Jose, he has no chance to show anything when we cant put an attacking play together in entire half

 

[Johnny75]

I don't think it's a tactics problem. Nuno isn't telling them go out there and just be outright lazy in possession, which is the biggest problem.

It absolutely is a tactics problem.

 

[AndyWolves]

We look like we're on the beach

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

So who has done well first half? That’s a tallest dwarf competition question

Coady, Neto, Jose, Semedo
Coady has been the best of them

Edit - Jonny has done on

 

[jd1981]

Has the feel of Palace away this I predict we’ll lose 1 or 2-0 just lazy, lazy stuff I’m afraid this is why fans get angry.

 

[Wolvensam]

It absolutely is a tactics problem.

I disagree - he isn't telling them to misplace passes, which nine times out of ten is down to us being lazy. No one is busting a gut to get into the box either.

 

[malta mick]

They have 2 full back donkeys and we ain't putting them to the test

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Saiss and Semedo competing to see who can give the ball away most often. But it is still 0-0 and we are as likely to win as they are. First to score wins.

 

[Derby Wolf]

I can take the caution and playing within ourselves against Man City and even next week v (a wounded) Liverpool but like fuck should we be wasting an entire 45 trying to get the measure of teams like Villa and Newcastle, we should have confidence in our players and plan to impose ourselves regardless of what they offer.

Its tedious.
