Aston Villa (H) 8/10: Build-Up & Match Thread

[NicholasG1973]

Our set up is pretty boring.

We’re basically playing wing backs that don’t want to cross the half way line.

So defensively sound enough but nothing really going forward.

 

[Alan]

Pretty scrappy game. Not a lot of quality but both teams have been set up to make that difficult.

 

[Del Woppio]

Both teams defending well/attacking badly. Our passing has been so sloppy and the delivery has been terrible. Very little quality on show from anybody really

We've only looked good either on the break or with a diagonal ball in behind. Both of which have been few and far between.

Villa definitely set up for a draw.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Excellent from Wolves, Jota slalom's between two Villa defenders but his shot is blocked by Alan Hutton. The ball drops to Leo Bonatini who finishes from an acute angle at the keepers near post!

 

[Tony Towner]

Personnel and formation showing it's flaws when the opposition are happy to let you have the ball. Trying to pass out from the back with a combination of Sa, Dawson and Toti is an accident waiting to happen

McGinn is a twat, wish he was our twat.

Be a bit weird, him just running around like Quasimodo in the reserves.

If we're talking about poor decision making, we have an excèllent example from Sa in the 44th minute.
Luiz took a terrific volley which was massively deflected high into the air and as it came down Sa should have simply claimed it but he thought he'd let it bounce then catch it, but it had more bounce than he anticipated and it looped over his head and wide for a corner. Christ! He'd have looked fucking stupid if that had gone in!
Looks like Doc is on for Ait Nouri.

Ran apparently not ok, Doherty subbed

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Great save by Sa! cross whipped over Watkins helps it on and Sa leaping like a salmon tips it over the bar.

Blow for us that. He was one of our best players in the first half.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Hwang gets a boot in his kisser, some blood and snot and a fresh shirt. That was Luiz catching him.

It was an arm not a boot. Are you even watching the game or just listening to radio or something?

 

[Wolf Hunting]

Hwang scores again!!

 

[t3ch]

There we gooooooo

 

[WsWolf]

[AndyWolves]

[Alan]

Who would have thought that a run to the near post would create danger??
