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

[Loki]

Not surprised with that line-up. More of the usual coming up methinks.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Could be Soton 2nd half or Newcastle 1st half.

We all hope for the former.

Probably both!

 

[big mean bunny]

I want to win as many games as possible before the end of the year, not into the whole experimenting for the sake of it or trying out other formations like others seem to favour, and I certainly wouldn't be trying that whilst Boly is out regardless.

 

[Freddeno]

We really need to see Vitinha in his actual position at some point. Only 10 games left for that to happen after today.

wanted him and neves in the middle of the park

 

[Freddeno]

why dont we fill up the bench every game..nothing to lose doing so?

 

[Tredman]

Possibly bubble related.

 

[Aikiwolf]

Team as expected I guess. Hopefully we push up the pitch 10 yards and press a little.

Probably won't though!

 

[AndyWolves]

Boly not starting is weird. Im assuming he's more or less fit now

 

[Freddeno]

good Grealish is out at least, Trezeguet wont stop running though and create space for others

 

[Jinky]

I'm disappointed with the line up but you've no idea how we'll play and neither do I. And you're right we learn nothing from this XI.

Could be Soton 2nd half or Newcastle 1st half.

We all hope for the former.

I’m just basing what we’ll likely see on the last 27 games, tbf.

Obviously I hope we beat them 5-0 and play positive, expansive football for 90 minutes. I highly doubt it, though.

Turned the TV on for 2 minutes of the build up:

We are missing Raul
Adama has 0 assists/goals
Neto is decent & we’ll struggle to keep hold of him

Quality analysis/build up, lads. Cheers.

Played Hi Ho Silver Lining before the game. Surprised Villa would do that.

They do every game, its not just for us tbf.

 

[Jinky]

Great effort from Watkins. Wank from Donk allowing him space to turn (obviously)

 

[The Bear]

"denied by the woodwork" is a phrase that annoys me.

It wasn't going in, therefore you haven't been denied anything.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Blimey. Lucky not to concede in tbe opening 5 again.

 

[Freddeno]

saved by the bar inside 4 mins

 

[The Bear]

saved by the bar inside 4 mins

Again, we weren't saved. It wasn't going in.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

We were much better for 50 seconds.

 

[Carrotdude]

Nice to see Adama jogging forward to help Neto out there

 

[Freddeno]

Again, we weren't saved. It wasn't going in.

could have gone in like ours versus Leeds..
