The Live Match Discussion Thread: 2019/2020

[Deutsch Wolf]

He’s still going to get picked for England, I can guarantee it. He’s awful

Was talking about it with Trips on Saturday. Neither of us would take him, we both agreed that he will go.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Christ I hope not.

Dislikeable prick

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Will kick off the wider discussion on the England/international thread after this game but possession is nine tenths of the law. He's in the team and we've done ok while he's been there - he will go.

 

[Tony Towner]

We have a right back who can't defend, but is great going forwards, a left back who can't defend, but is great going forwards and a ball distributing sweeper who can't get in the squad but solves that issue with a formation change...oh what to do [emoji2369]

 

[jd1981]

Sorry that’s not handball but still buffoon levels of defending from Mings.

 

[Sniffer]

The villa team that beat us 4-1 is better than this one. Full of nothing footballers..

Wan Bissaka solves the right back to defend issue. Gaping hole on the left of a four though.

3-0.

Another game where they are conceding 20+ shots. As a unit their defending is atrocious.

 

[Pompey Wolf]

They’re praying for a Premier League coronavirus suspension at this point.

They are so, so badly set up.

You can just play through them with three passes, constantly. Captain Wow at the back doesn't help as he's fist pumping while being yards away from where he should be.

 

[Sniffer]

It's not working.

4-0

 

[The Bear]

Such a shame x 4

 

[jd1981]

Smith tactically looking inept at this level, their equation is simple if Grealish plays below full pelt they’re screwed.

England player Barnes.
Lazy bastard Luiz for Villa.

Big time on the latter. Clocked this when people were banging on about him playing well vs Spurs. He lets every single run go.

 

[jd1981]

Fixtures don’t look promising either, Rapidly moving into must win territory.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Christ. Villa are just absolutely fucking appalling at the back. They make Norwich look like Helenio Herrera era Inter Milan.

 

[jd1981]

Problem is they’re not scrapping turning every match into a free flowing game when you’re trying to stay up won’t work with the players they have.

Crap at the back, zero midfield, sexy No.10, no striker.

Plus Grealish is now into "don't get injured before the move" mode.

They have absolutely had it.
