Aston Villa (H) 12/12 Build-Up & Match Thread

[Premier Quality]

Good tackle by Donk on grealish, keep that up!

 

[Jinky]

Do we have to hear how Raul would have scored or enjoyed the cross every single time a ball comes in to the box until he returns to play for us again?

I just had to stop myself throwing the remote at the tv then, as Hoddle and this other plank mention it for about the 10th time already.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Forgive me but we have no height up top so why play to their strength?

 

[James]

Good to see Glenn Hoddle is back to his normal self... out of touch.

Villa gagging for a penalty, soft handball or dive will do

 

[Freddeno]

We are horrible right now, Villa dictating everything

Grealish seems to be trying his best

 

[Premier Quality]

So mcginn fouls pod, then kicks the ball away after the whistle is blown - how’s that not a textbook yellow card?

 

[prawnking]

Pod looks very lively

 

[Pablowolf]

What happened to a good old fashioned free kick or corner?

 

[prawnking]

Formation and personnel changes... But we still aren't creating chances, decent or otherwise?

 

[Freddeno]

yeah, pisses me off with these short corners which never leads to anything..just put the ball in the box and something can always happen

 

[Wolfmania]

We desperately need a player who can take set pieces, we are wasting so many potential opportunities

 

[Premier Quality]

Our free kicks look like training ground ones, but the results are awful

 

[James]

So Villa have switched tactics from dive to kick us and dive.

 

[The Bear]

Our problem remains that we are always too "soft" in possession. We're not difficult to get the ball back off, often with little mistakes ourselves gifting it back to the opposition.

Until we sort that out were going to struggle creating loads as we can't control possession and build attacks regularly.

 

[Premier Quality]

Ramsey dived and Dein says no - should have booked him for it too. Diving fuckers.

 

[Templeton Peck]

So Willy Boly has been poor for ages. You want to play a 4, but you don’t want to play Saiss? So I’m a little confused. What is the solution from a squad with no stand out CB?

Kilman, Marcal, Hoever

Grealish needs no invitation to hit the deck.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Kilman, Marcal, Hoever

Any 1 of those 3 ahead of Saiss? Madness
