Aston Villa (H) 2/4/22 - Build-Up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

Fabio really does look like he’s gained a yard or two of pace since joining us.

 

[Carsy]

No point arguing over it really as your entrenched in your view that he’s Cafu. Obviously part of the cult!

He has no stand out qualities in the attacking third. I struggle how anyone thinks otherwise.

Jonny scoring today does not support your view by the way

 

[t3ch]

Dendonkey

 

[Alan]

Donck is such a weird player.

 

[The Bear]

Bloody hell Trincao. Decision making!!!!

Play that ball across first time and we were in again.

 

[Jinky]

Donk you absolute clown shoes.

 

[Bigbadwulf07]

Donk! you wally

 

[The Bear]

Should never have ended up at Donk. It was dithering all round that led to him getting it.

And Trincao again getting in the way this time instead of leaving it.

 

[Tony Towner]

Strangest half of football I've seen in a long time. Rampant for 15, then Digne goes off and Bruno or leaders in the team decide we are going to sit deep, get overrun in the middle of the park and wobble. Just as a goal looks inevitable they give us a comedy OG. They are there to be taken on the break second half but not just by defending our area

 

[Wolftone]

Squandering chances.

 

[The Bear]

How have we not gone in at least 3 goals up there FFS. No wonder Bruno was fuming. Those last two or three attacks was like our players were wearing clown shoes instead of boots.

 

[Bigbadwulf07]

Shocking defence from Villa. we really should be 4:0

 

[Carsy]

Fairly good first half

Felt Ill seeing Marcal starting, however he’s had a good first half IMO

Fabio has been good. Gives you more confidence in him being our number 2 striker that he could push Raul/get more game time

Great save by SA

2 great chances at end of the half. Dendonker with the first abs the 2nd when Fabio pulled it back if trincao lets it run it should be a goal.

Plenty of positives

 

[Paul]

Squandering chances.

Does anyone else know we're 2-0 up. or is it just me ?

Weird how 18 year olds can improve isn’t it!!

Yeah basically spot on. Silva really has the better of the centre backs and we look a real threat on the break.

Weren't we beating Leeds 2-0!?

All the English streams have the same World Feed comms of Oatley/Osman.

Not often I listen to comms but these two are awful, particularly Oatley, constantly on the narrative that two goals isn't enough and Wolves will be desperate for the third to have any kind of sense of safety. Have a look how many one goal victories there have been, one capitulation against Leeds doesn't overpower that theme. Even from an artistic license perspective, trying to keep a bit of interest for the neutral kind of thing, it's such fucking nonsense.

 

[redvictor]

Overrun in midfield, ball not sticking up top, wingbacks playing deep, pressed into mistakes.

Im feeling bad vibes for this one

This one aged well so far!

I listen to Wolves TV commentary. It's a lot more balanced, unless we score in the last minute against Villa!
