Villa: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Clark, Bacuna, Delph, Cleverley, N’Zogbia, Sinclair, Benteke, Agbonlahor.
Subs: AVFCOfficial: Given, Westwood, Weimann, Gil, Sanchez, Grealish, Kinsella.
Lowton missing - must have a knock because he'd be on the bench. No Rushy either.
-
Swansea: Fabianski, Naughton, Fernandez, Williams (c), Taylor, Ki, Cork, Shelvey, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Gomis.
Subs: Tremmel, Rangel, Amat, Fulton, Dyer, Montero, Oliveira.
-
Win please Villa.
-
Come on Villa 8)
Fancy Big Ben to score today, he's on a bit of a roll.
-
Sherwood's spoken about turning Bacuna into a right back. Has he had to work on making him a left back this week?
-
I hope this week he showed him videos of Maldini and Roberto Carlos
-
Surprised he hasn't stuck either Westwood or Sanchez in as Swansea will definitely play 3 central midfielders, but everything he's done so far has been bold. Fingers crossed for more of the same today.
-
Hope this doesn't become a Barry-taking-the-penalty question but is Vlaar not available?
I am glad he has stuck with Okore-Clark regardless.
-
Is this on any radio channels? only updates on WM.
-
Vlaar is made of glass and still injured!
-
No Cole Richardson or Senderos either what signings they have been. Sorry forgot Cissokho how could I forget him.
-
Looks like Zog continues at no. 10. He's played really well there.
-
I've put Gabby into my fantasy football team due to his upturn in form of late.
Come on you Lions.
I fancy a narrow win today.
-
When you look at that starting eleven it makes you further wonder why we are in the mess we are. If they all play well that is a very useful team.
-
Hutton left back
-
No Cole Richardson or Senderos either what signings they have been. Sorry forgot Cissokho how could I forget him.
expect big clear out in summer ;)
-
afternoon chaps
come on villa
-
Carved open there.
-

-
look a bit open today! lads need to settle.
Need to be careful today!
-
come on sinclair
-
If Gabby had a brain he'd be dangerous.
-
They look like they're going to catch us out at the back if we're not careful.
-
Quiet on here today
-
We look very open at the minute.
-
Dicing with death at the back.
-
come on villa
my week has been shit
3 pts please
-
Swansea look dangerous on the breaks
-
Great pass from Benteke then.
-
Swansea look very dangerous.
-
Kane 2 - 0 Leicester
-
Great Saturday up until now. Come on Villa! Don't fuck it up for me. :-(
-
We really need to wake up because sooner or later they will take one of these chances.
-
ffs get a grip villa
-
We've got to be better at the back. Cleverley coming off injured.
-
Sanchez on for TC23
-
Bacuna you need to defend as well.
-
While we are waiting for Villa to score, my uncle messaged me on FB to say that France are 500-1 against Engerland in the egg-chasing and I should put a pound on.
Please tell me it's a case of "gullible" is not in the OED! I was thinking of having 50 quid on that.
-
sanchez is great at defending his own fuck ups
-
sanchez is great at defending his own fuck ups
Be thankful for not so small mercies!
-
Terrible kick from Guzan has put us in trouble.
-
A shot, at last.
-
We will need a good HT talk from the chirpy Cockerney.
-
C'mon Villa! About time we strung some home wins together!
-
Fucking hell Bacuna where are you!?
-
Nice move. Two different styles going head to head.
Worried about these set pieces.
-
Very, very lucky so far. A shambles at the back.
-
Really poor from Guzan there. Come on Villa.
-
Holte Enders responding to pressure with song. Good stuff!
-
Southampton one up on Burnley so all going well elsewhere...
But Leicester have one back
-
Southampton 1-0 Burnley thank McGrath
-
Ref seems to be giving them an awful lot of these 50/50 decisions.
-
Swansea are playing well.
-
COME ON VILLA, FUCK THESE FUCKERS!
-
Fuck the fuckers.
-
christ that was more luck than judgement
-
Jesus that was embarrassing. Lets get to half time nil nil so Tim can work his team talk magic.
-
Guzans kicking is gash
-
This has not been great and Guzan looks very shaky.
-
guzan ffs
-
This ref is a twat.
-
This ref is a twat.
-
You can say that again.
-
We need one of Tims top team talks at hslf time
-
Boos, REALLY!!!
Get a grip
-
This ref is a twat.
Also, we need to sort this out. Too much napping at the back.
-
Well pretty poor half and we're fairly lucky to be level.Need to step it up in second half.
-
Boos, REALLY!!!
Get a grip
They're booing the twat.
-
Boos? Must be for the ref. :-\
-
Boos, REALLY!!!
Get a grip
For the ref I imagine.
Pretty OK first half. Need to win more second balls though.
-
Bit light on here today. How are we doing chaps?
-
Fortunate to be level. We haven't been awful but Swansea have been good.
Need greater tempo and harder pressing to stop them dictating the game.
-
Boos, REALLY!!!
Get a grip
You would like to think so but nothing surprises me with some of the idiots there of late.
They're booing the twat.
-
we made the wrong decisions at time
gabby was free on his own once and the wrong ball was taken
-
Boos, REALLY!!!
Get a grip
Yeah, way OTT. They haven't played that well - not got going in attack and a bit chaotic in defence - but boos? Each to their own, but that's uncalled for I think. EDIT: ah yes, I hope you're right Jimbo.
Thank you Southampton, so far. We'd be losing if it weren't for Clark. The attack keep on slightly misplacing passes, and Zog is doing his 'dribble away from teammates' routine, which is annoying. We've survived somehow, though, so hopefully the next half is our 'good' half.
-
Ref booed not players.
-
So done pretty well to keep it even at half time. This lot are the best team we have played since Sherwood came on board so a challenge. I think we are a bit light in midfield against Shelvey and Sigourdsson however not sure what we should do hopefully Tim knows?
-
We are not under the kosh but they have been better. Something needs to be tweaked.
-
Well pretty poor half and we're fairly lucky to be level.Need to step it up in second half.
Yes lucky but not poor. We have played ok.
-
Sounds like Carles could help.
-
They faded last week against Pool so lets hope they run out of gas again.
-
Well pretty poor half and we're fairly lucky to be level.Need to step it up in second half.
Yes lucky but not poor. We have played ok.
I'd say we've been pretty open.
-
Ok read a few things. Swansea dominated Liverpool the other night, didn't take their chances and lost. Let's today is the same and Sherwood and staff have identified a few things to get the win today.
-
Well pretty poor half and we're fairly lucky to be level.Need to step it up in second half.
Yes lucky but not poor. We have played ok.
I'd say we've been pretty open.
Agreed but that comes from having both Sinclair and N'Zobia in midfield.
-
Right Villa take advantage of our luck and win the game.
-
Big howler from Sinclair.
-
sinclair again
-
He needs to take one before it starts to get to him. Gets in good positions though.
-
Missed the first half hour. Sanchez seems to be playing well.
-
Gil on for Zog asap please Tim
-
I'm back. Oh!
-
I am going for a piss. You know what happens next. ;-)
-
That's what you get for posting on a phone and a laptop.
-
Probably the worst match thread I've ever been on. I am off. ;-)
-
Leicester pull back to 2-2 vs Spurs
-
Bluenoses 1-0 down at Cardiff.
-
Why is it so quiet? Are we getting complacent? Is it as bad at the ground?
-
How did that not go in?
-
So close!
-
Villa bit better in 2nd half according to BBC
-
Thought that was in there, great block.
-
Why is it so quiet? Are we getting complacent? Is it as bad at the ground?
I am just terrified :)
-
bloody lora
-

Sounds alright. On here it's like a Monday lunchtime in the Southern Cross.
-

I'm around but also keep popping off to update on the rugby on the TV
-
bloody lora
Is Nora on holiday?

Bloody hell that is bad. It's a Chinese takeaway that only opens at night.
-
Last on Match of the Day as it stands.............
-
We really could do with winning this, like.
-
2-0 to Southampton vs Burnley, if only we could get a goal now...
-
Burnley 0-2
-
Fucking hell just fucking get a shot off
-

I heard the Trusty Servant had gone too. ;-)
-
C'mon Villa FFS
-
Benteke's fucked. Get Gil on.
-
We don't look like we've got our scoring underpants on. :-(
-
good sigurdson is off
-
I'm tired of these really soft 'fouls' in the Swansea box.
-
Swansea have become such a good and consistent club in how they approach the game. We've had a number of years now of different managers/systems/tactics. That will be a key task for Sherwood to create a playing style and identity that is sustainable.
-
The ref is a proper twat
-
The ref's a twat.
-
Last on Match of the Day as it stands.............
I'll take that with a 1-0 win.
-
Spurs with a penalty to go 3-1
-
Last on Match of the Day as it stands.............
I'll take that with a 1-0 win.
Me too.
-
Sorry, to go 3-2
-
I wish we were playing the Baggies
-
Kane hat trick, 3-2, good lad
-
We need to get a grip.
-
Tim should bring Gabby on to make an impact.
-
Sensible sub that. We'll be more solid with Westwood on.
Now, about Gil and Gabby...
-
Ha Westwoods first attempt at a lofted ball....3 inches off the ground
-
Westwood still hasn't learned how to kick a football.
-
Arghhhhh, Scott....a little lay off man
-
Does sinclair get a fine if he gets a shot on target?
-
Sinclair's been shite today.
-
Kane hat trick, 3-2, good lad
He's had a sensational season. Should have had a 4th a few seconds ago.
-

Yes, it's Asda now. And the Prince Hal (Kwik-save).
-
poor finish
-
Clark is playing really well. Gone up in my expectations the last few months....
-
How dodgy is Bacuna at the back?
-
How dodgy is Bacuna at the back?
Well dodge
-
Just fucking run up the pitch and put the fucking ball in the net Villa. I can't take this any more.
-
Dalian Atkinson is 47 today. He'd probably still get a game up front the way its gone for us today.
-
Weimann. Waste of a player.
*hopes he proves me wrong*
-
Weimann. Oh good. It's like buying a sun lamp when you live in Death Valley.
-
Delph having an impressive game
-
Fantastic tackle Fab
-
With Weimann, I always think that if you chucked a stick up the pitch towards the opposition goal, he'd go haring after it with his tongue lolling out.
-
Quality Delph
-
Great from Delph. Meanwhile, Weimann runs about a bit...
-
Libor can't be that far off from making the team
-
great tackle
-
I am concerned that he regards Weimann as a better option than Gil
-
Weimann might actually work up front in a 4-4-2 though
Don't get me wrong, he's absolutely bollocks in a 4-3-3
-
Sinclair shoots tamely at the keeper again.
-
Sherwood has taught Delph to tackle as well.
-
Is Gil the latest Cuellar?
-
I am concerned that he regards Weimann as a better option than Gil
I think still being in the thick of it Tim is looking for workers right now, something in all fairness Andi does.
-
All bit flat after last week ain't it?
-

I think still being in the thick of it Tim is looking for workers right now, something in all fairness Andi does.
I guess that makes sense. Also, in a game as scrappy as this one, he seems like the sort of person who would be there to scramble one in.
-
I've got um heap bad feeling about this game.
-
I'd have taken 4 points from these 2 games, but after 4 goals in one half, 0 goals in 3 is a bit disappointing
-
This will be a good point if it stays like this, could be massive come May
-
All bit flat after last week ain't it?
Swansea are a miles better team
-
Swansea definitely the best team we've played since Sherwood took over. With the Lesta and Burnley scores as they are, I'd take a point now.
-
Cieran MOTM for me
-
All bit flat after last week ain't it?
Swansea are a miles better team
Off course but we arent showing the urgency. Let's face it Swansea have nothing to play for
-
Utterly shit free kick. Fucking wake up.
-
Ooooooh Fab on his right foot, 5 foot over
-
With Weimann, I always think that if you chucked a stick up the pitch towards the opposition goal, he'd go haring after it with his tongue lolling out.
That is the best description of Weimann. Always eager but no reason or sense. Can't question his work ethic, just the fact that he isn't a PL player. Still i hope he scores :-)
-
Gash freekick
-
If it's going to happen for us, it's going to be through Delph.
-
set pieces never change
-
Reckon I should go to bed. Something will definitely happen then.
-
Banning myself from starting the match thread. This is dull.
TV OUT!
-
I will take three fucking badly-needed points with a scuff-in on 91 minutes. Bollocks to a draw!
-
Fuck off.
-
COME THE FUCK ON VILLA, FUCK THESE FUCKING FUCKERS!
-
SHIT!
-
fuuuuuck
-
Oh shit
-
I fucking knew it.
-
Oh dear, back to reality...
-
Fuck it!
-
shit!
-
Oh for fucks sake
-
We love giving away last minute goals don't we ?
-
Well FFS!!!!!!! That is just shit isn't it.
-
Fuck.
-
Normal service is resumed!
-
thought that would happen, bugger because we have been pretty decent
-
We've been asking for it all match, to be fair.
-
Ugh. Bacuna out of position, Okore marking thin air, Clark beaten fairly. They've been better than us today, no question.
-
oh dear
-
Didn't Monteiro tear us a new one the last time we played them?
-
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Scott....fuck that would of been nice
-
Spurs 4-2 up so a little bit of joy
-
Why the hell cant we win at home? Shit I am depressed now
-
Fucking shite. Gomis has been a real handful.
-
They deserve it to be fair.
Sinclair should have done better there
-
Not surprising, they are a class above us.
-
our decision making has been awful
-
Villa are back.
-
Fuck sake Sinclair, how many chances today?!
-
Other results had been decent and if we don't find something we'll be right back in it. Sunderland will be boosted by this if they can get something from West Ham. Fuck me Villa. Never a day goes by where you don't expect a firm kick in the bollocks.
-
I don't think we've played as bad as some are making out. It's a lot better to watch than it was under Lambert.
-
A point would be like a win now.
-
BollockS
-
How can Villa "have shaded the second period" when we conceded you twat?
-
I don't think we've played as bad as some are making out. It's a lot better to watch than it was under Lambert.
Not the highest bar is it?
-
Jeff Stelling is an utter cock at times.
-
Brilliant Brad
-
What do you expect from the villa. We never have done things the easy way.
-
It's my birthday tomorrow. Some choice Villa losses on this weekend: 4-1 to Stoke. 5-0 to Liverpool. 1-0 to Wolves. 1-0 to Sunderland...screw getting older.
-
not our day
-

No, but still....it's better even though it looks a loss.

What's he done

I assume it's Sturridge I am hearing on my dodgy stream.
-
Referee today allowed Swansea a lot of latitude

my birthdays in November and we always seem to play either Arsenal or Man United on home..........

Suits me.
-
Fucked.
-
[/quote]Jeff Stelling is an utter cock at times.
I wasn't impressed either, though I knew it was them that had scored, as the score was showing on the screen as Stelling was busy being a twat.
-
Jeff Stelling is an utter cock at times.
What's he done
Set up the link to the goal as if it was a Villa goal.
-
Not to be. Oh well, onwards and upwards.
-
Well Chelsea will put 10 past Hull tomorrow....
-
Come on West Ham!
-
probaly the fair result
not as bad as lamberts days
but decision making was not good at times
