No Matty after he got hurt so Ash in at LB, JJ into midfield
-

Subs: Ward, Vardy, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Daley-Campbell, Soumare.
-
No Vardy.
-
No Vardy.
on the bench
-
Targett’s a loss. Come on Villa.
-
Tim Iroegbunam makes the bench. Good for him
-
Disappointed to see Davis over Cam on the bench
-
I wonder if SJM will play in his Scotland position?
-
I cant understand why archer is not on the bench while davis is.
-
About the best side we could put out. Bit worried tbh.
-
Archer has struggled to get into the game when he has come on this season would be my guess. Harsh, as he's a better player than Davis, but David can cause havoc through body strength and power that Archer can't.
I wonder whether SJM will be pushed up to 10 today.
-
How is Paul Merson still in gainful employment.

Very minimal time though. Davis has years of opportunities and been shit 90% of the time
Ramsey on the wing? Not sure i like the thought of this.
Think el ghazi should have started in that position

I was wondering above if he might play in his Scotland position.
-
Hardly wingers under Gerrard Demitri. More like 2 narrow 10s. And as I said, I reckon McGinn might be more like than Ramsey to be there.
-
I can't work out what the formation is - McGinn on the wing?

He might be in the three in centre-mid.

Yea you might be right. I think that could be a problem as we will be too compact and leave a lot of space for their wingers
-
nervous , as Im surrounded by the blue fuckers and the most ungracious fuckers you can imagine .
Come on Villa - annihilate them .
-
I can't work out what the formation is - McGinn on the wing?
Let's hope so, further forward anyway.
Bit surprised to see Ramsey come in after not getting a run during the week.

SG said he wasn’t fully fit.

So much energy in that midfield though.
-

Come on Villa - annihilate them .
I live a mile away from their identikit crisp bowl stadium so I know your pain.
-
Davis over Archer again.
-
As I've said on the now condemned pre match thread think packing out the midfield could be a smart tactic v these. Can't allow likes of Maddison and Harvey Barnes space just outside the box anyway.
Are Vardy and Ihenacho on the bench? That could be issue as with Ings missing again we don't have huge amount of credible attacking options on ours.
-
I cant understand why archer is not on the bench while davis is.
Did Archer play this week against charlton?
-
Happy with the team, hopefully Buendia will continue his improvement. I see Daka starts for the first time in the league for them, scored 4 goals in one match against Spartak Moscow this season.
-
'No disrespect to Villa, but a really big club should sign John McGinn.' F*** off Souness.
-
'No disrespect to Villa, but a really big club should sign John McGinn.' F*** off Souness.
Souness can fuck off - the old dried up has been.
-
'No disrespect to Villa, but a really big club should sign John McGinn.' F*** off Souness.
Thats not quite what he said. He said it was up to John McGinn to up his game to the point where big clubs should be wanting to sign him
-
Their midfield is pretty tasty, we are going to have to be really on it.
-
I can't work out what the formation is - McGinn on the wing?
Sky Germany has Ramsey as the wide left forward.
-
Their midfield is pretty tasty, we are going to have to be really on it.
They are missing their best CM (Tielemans) and playing a kid there so could be stronger.
-
Martin Tyler commentating we are honoured :)
-
Strong looking bench for them
-
Daka almost scored
-
Empty seats, my nause, empty seats.
Load of old cock.
-
Not a great start.
-
'No disrespect to Villa, but a really big club should sign John McGinn.' F*** off Souness.
Souness can fuck off - the old dried up has been.
We need a massive statement from the owners to shove that shite down every pundits throat.
-
Brilliant block by nakamba.
Dreadful by mings. Ffs
-
Class from Villa re Arthur! Clap Clap!
-
Absolutely shite from cash.
Stop with these shit crosses ffs
-
Cash's crosses. Fucking hell.
-
Now TV down to their usual standard. Two minutes behind.
-
They're looking good in possession and the most threatening so far.
But then so did Palarse until Targett scored.
-
Cash needs practice his crosses.
A lot.
-
First in game mention of Jack Grealish: 12 min 16 sec. Check your tickets...
-
We look a bit shit
-
Dreadful losing 1-0
Cash runs into nakamba and out of position.
Cash has been shit recently. He needs competition
-
Bollix
-
Christ, that was turbo-shit.
-
Way too much easy.
-
bollocks
-
They was dreadful
-
How many challenges did the assister get through there?...
-
It’s never going to change is it.
-
Fucking diabolical stuff that goal. Really bad. We’ve been weak so far.
-
My nan could tell that was going in the net as soon as he received the pass. FFS!
-
Awful from Cash and Konsa.
-
Really poor goal to give away that.
Midfield caught too high up and then McGinn and Nakamba really should've got the ball off Daka.
-
Fuck the ref
-
Goal 1-1
-
Bollocks.
-
Yessss
-
We look turd. Too many poor touches and shit control. Not enough energy either.
-
Get in it’s going to change isn’t it.
-
I love the ref. Fuck you you crisp munching bellends
-
Is it a goal?
-
I'm too far behind! But yessss!!!!
-
Great head Emi.
-
Well done emi!!
-
It is a goal!!!!
-
Emi Emi Emi
-
Nothing wrong with that.
1-1.
Schmiechel a right whinger.
Game on!
-
Blimey that came from nothing.
Right, get into the fuckers now!
-
Need snicko or hotspot to make sure.
-
Thats konsas goal
Sorry emi
-
Barnes is a really good player isn't he. Causing us all sorts darting in from the left. Was hoping he'd be injured for this.
-
Should be 2-1.
Cash really is struggling
-
Harvey f**king Barnes. He’s shite all season but always turns into Messi against us.
-
We really need to get someone out on the right, would tell Ramsey to sit a bit and help out Cash and push McGinn a bit more forward.
They're playing through us too easily.
-
They're having an absolute field day down our right.
-
Doug needs to wake up a bit.
Don't think he's getting much sleep currently.....
-
Goal given to Konsa now
-
I like this ref. We fall over and he automatically gives us a FK.
Unlucky there. Loving Ramsey so far, playing again like he knows he belongs at this level.
When we can string a few passes together we look a decent team.
-
Poor performance on the back of Wednesday's. Lucky to be level
-
I really don’t see what Young offers.
-
I really don’t see what Young offers.
Who would you play at LB, Hause?!
-
Good game TBF.
-
We are being incredibly sloppy here. Giving the ball away so much.
-
We're struggling here. Our attacks are petering out.
-
We're getting bullied in midfield again.
-
Feels certain we'll need to score at least once more to get a point from this. This isn't finishing 1-1.
-
We're playing shit.
-
We're not playing shit, but we are giving the ball away far too often.
-
Liquid football.
-
We're not playing shit, but we are giving the ball away far too often.
That means we're playing shit.
-
We stop and pass the ball backwards killing our counter attacks.
-
There will be a conversation at HT if we keep giving them the ball.
-
I dont think we are playing shit just making some sloppy mistakes.
Soke brilliant defending. Well done luiz
-
Emi Buendia, for the love of all things holy, stop giving the fucking ball away. Be a professional, jesus wept. It’s pathetic.
-
We’re really off the boil.
-
This is our bad half right?
-
Certainly riding our luck on their counter attacks. Not sustainable once Vardy is on.
-
Buendia is trying to be too clever, and in dangerous positions.
-
Oh come on they are only 3 points ahead of us ffs.
-
There will be a conversation at HT if we keep giving them the ball.
I'd like things to change now otherwise we'll go in 1-2 down. Just waiting until half time is DS tactic. We have enough midfielders, drop a couple deeper and get in level.
-
I don't think the problem is the passer, it's that we're not moving well enough to create space. Too many times one of our players has looked up and taken extra touches waiting for someone to make a pass for them.
-
It going ok, but listening on Radio 5, and I hate Clinton Morrison's commentary.
Some think he is biased, I couldn't possibly say....
-
I've changed my mind, we are actually playing shit.
Can't give them so many chances.
-
We can't get near them. The midfield is getting strolled through time and again.
-
Barnes and Maddison have been told to run Csh ragged in the first half so Vardy can come on and rinse him in the second - and its working a treat.
-
This is our bad half right?
You beat me to it.
-
Time and again we create our own problems when playing half decent sides. When we pass it out from the back for example I hide behind the sofa.
-
Would take the 1-1 going into half time.
Not to go all Martin O'Neill, but if this was to carry on, I'd be tempted to put Konsa on Barnes.
Play Cash further up in place of Buendia. The latter is giving us nuisance value at best at the moment.
-
Better
-
Crap. Our midfield weakness showing itself up again
-
We give almost all opponents too much of the ball. It’s a leftover from the Dean Smith era. Why we don’t quickly close teams down when we don’t have the ball and why we have become so careless with it is beyond me because we were like that last season. Granted it helped Jack could keep the ball for long periods but the fall off is incredible.
-
Play Cash further up in place of Buendia. The latter is giving us nuisance value at best at the moment.
Funny how people see things differently. I'd have said that Buendia is the only one of the three behind Watkins showing anything.
-
Shitty floaty balls into the box.
-
Ramsay!!!!!!
-
I wish something would convince me about the all the hype over Jacob Ramsey.
EDIT - tho a goal does help :-)
-
Yesssss
-
Yessssss jj!!!
-
Schmeichel is a moaning ******
-
Ramsey!
-
Fantastic!
-
Fuck off VAR. ruining football
-
That is insane. He did not have it under control.
-
What a fucking crock of shit.
-
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
-
Fucking hate Leicester
-
Game is in shambles if that’s the rule.
-
Absolute bollocks.
-
What a weird first half.
Somehow in the lead.
Probably the luck DS didn't get from mid October.
-
That’s ridiculous. He did not have control of the ball there at all
-
How in the name of bollox is that a foul?
It's no more than taking the ball off the foot of an outfield player.
Rubbish.
-
Disgusting
-
That is a piss poor decision in my opinion.
-
Terrible VAR decision
-
I don't understand that, thought it was supposed to be two hands on the ball?
-
I bet there's fuck all wrong with his hand too.
-
That is fcukin bullshit.
-
Absolutely farcical.
That’s a goal all day and all night.
-
I don't understand that, thought it was supposed to be two hands on the ball?
My thoughts too.
-
Nonsense! Absolutely f**king nonsense!!
-
Fucking robbed
Oliver is a absolutely useless prick
-
"I can't do anything, it's Var what did it."
And the Var gimps would say it's on the ref.
Jobsworthy cxnts the lot of them.
-
Schmeichel acting dead there is what’s got that disallowed
-
Fuck off VAR. No way did the keeper have that under control. Absolute bollocks.
-
Absolutely fucking disgusting.
To hell with this league, an absolute mockery of the game.
-
I don't understand that, thought it was supposed to be two hands on the ball?
Nope, changed a while back.
-
Total and utter fucking bollocks. Someone should have shitbatted Schmeichel for his shithouseing there. Massive twat
-
Fuck var and fuck football
No common sense whatsoever
-
Anyway, Schmeichel has looked vulnerable all half. Perhaps we need to press him a bit more in the second.
-
In what alternate reality does Schmeichal have control of the ball in that situation.
They'll prob change the rule next week.
When it's no good to us, obv.
Standard.
-
No way is that ruled out if scored by any of the Sky 6. Dicks
-
Joke of a decision. However, our performance MUST improve in the second half. Far too passive and lose in posession
-
Leicester with 14 fouls through 45 minutes without a caution. Then this goal chalked off.. the fix is in.
Game is gone.
-
I like this ref. We fall over and he automatically gives us a FK.
He's a twat, always has been, always will be. Robbed us at Old Trafford last season. Obviously VAR is to blame today but doesn't mean that Oliver isn't a useless twat.
-
Schmeichel has been schooled in the art of cuntery by his father, who learned at the feet of the notable scribe, Sralex.
-
I don't understand that, thought it was supposed to be two hands on the ball?
Nope, changed a while back.
Alright.
Even so he's just flung his hand towards the ball so not like Ramsey kicked it our of his secure grasp at all imo.
-
Think we'll put that poor decision right in the second half.
-
We are second best in midfield. Giving the ball away way too much. Luiz needs to wake up he wants to dwell on the ball like it is a testimonial. Barnes is causing us all sorts of problems.
-
I think 1-1 flatters us, let alone if it was given for 2-1. We need to get Barvey Harnes under control 2nd half. This has been the most out of control we've looked since Gerrard took over, even Citihad didn't create this many chances against us. Why do Leicester always look like worldbeaters against us?
-
But if a player traps a ball under his boot, and has it 'under control' you aren't allowed to kick it away?
Ok keepers are special cases, and by the rules.... however it's hard to take.
-
Schmeichel made a miraculous recovery from his broken hand.
-
Apparently it was the correct decision as the keeper just needs to hold the ball against the ground with one hand to be deemed in control of it.
What a shit rule that is.
-
I don't understand that, thought it was supposed to be two hands on the ball?
Nope, changed a while back.
Alright.
Even so he's just flung his hand towards the ball so not like Ramsey kicked it our of his secure grasp at all imo.
I know it's shit, but the co-commentator said 'it's one of those that's open to interpretation', but it's not, and I'm assuming that that was the reason for the law change, to remove any ambiguity.
-
Yeah, we haven't been good. Mr. Gerrard needs to sort it out
-
Apparently it was the correct decision as the keeper just needs to hold the ball against the ground with one hand to be deemed in control of it.
What a shit rule that is.
Except after a save or rebound, then this doesn't apply
-
Shit decision
Concentrate on the game too many loose passes
Luis needs to wake up, keep the pressure on like the last 10 mins and we could win this
-
"but remember, we shouldn't be in this league cos of the Sheffield United game............."
-
One twelfth of a second under control…
-
We are second best in midfield. Giving the ball away way too much. Luiz needs to wake up he wants to dwell on the ball like it is a testimonial. Barnes is causing us all sorts of problems.
Yep pretty much. Doug has been half asleep most of the time and easily our worst CM. Would put Sanson on if he dosen't improve.
Not sure what we can do on the right. Perhaps put AEG on as he's reliable to track back but he dosen't influence game much from attacking perspective out on the right.
-
Yet another crap half of football from Villa.
-
I don't understand that, thought it was supposed to be two hands on the ball?
Nope, changed a while back.
Alright.
Even so he's just flung his hand towards the ball so not like Ramsey kicked it our of his secure grasp at all imo.

The problem is the idiots that are reviewing it are watching it in ultra, super-slow motion. You can see ANYTHING you want at the rate.
Watch it in full speed. If that is “control” than I’ve had great control of my emotions throughout this discussion.
FWIW, Tim Howard said it should’ve been a goal.
-
So what we're basically saying now is the next time villa are in the lead, force the opposition to shoot from distance so martinez catches it and then tell him to lay on the floor with one hand on it until the games over because there is nothing anyone can do to touch him? Ridiculous
-
Will always support the ref if they are unsure of summat in real time and double check if the option is there.
Should be what the technology is for.
But to give the goal - only to chalk it off after video confirms the keeper has had a 'mare, well. That's just another level of special.
Is this the same twat who chalked off our injury time penalty at home to Brighton last year?
That was similar, in the sense that his initial response was right. But then he checks the monitor -sees there is contact for certain - and chalks it off. ::) ::) ::)
-
Hopefully Gerrard gives us a bit of a rocket as they could be well ahead. Not a great first half and they looked very threatening. Stupid decision by VAR though, absolutely nonsense. Nearly as bad as the shitty stream I’m following.
-
I'm no football manager - I wouldn't take the pay-cut (lol) - but why do they need to get into them at half-time, why can't they just set them up right from the fucking outset?!
-
Merse talking about it being a try if this was Rugby League.
Fair enough, so.
-
If there's no improvement after 10 mins then I'd put Sanson on.
-
It’s Villa? Crap halves are part of the DNA.
-
Barnes and Maddison are a right handful. Desperately need to keep them quiet second half.
-
One twelfth of a second under control…
Exactly! Oliver should have ignored VAR.
Not sure what we're doing in midfield with Dougie playing so wide left. It's certainly not helping us get a grip in midfield.
-
I'm no football manager - I wouldn't take the pay-cut (lol) - but why do they need to get into them at half-time, why can't they just set them up right from the fucking outset?!
We were probably setting up to deal with Vardy and then starting Daka has thrown us a bit.

Well, apart from being booked for time wasting.
-
The rule regarding the foul
A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:
1. the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
2. holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
3. bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air
A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hand(s).
-
Schmeichel just asking Oliver for his bank details.
-
It’s Villa? Crap halves are part of the DNA.
It's not like we're playing Bradford City.
They finished 5th and won the FA cup last season. Inconsistant so far this but I'd happily swop 5-6 of our players for what they've got in their team.
We need to improve second half though.
-
All goalkeepers, with the exception of the bold Emi, can fuck off.
-
Fucking hell what is Mings doing there?
-
Hiding behind the sofa again have we cleared it?
-
Fucks' sake Tyrone.
-
FFS Mings
-
Schmichael patiently waiting to give the holte end the shush if they score
-
Why wasn't it looked at by VAR when Evans clattered Ramsey and then Buendia?
-
Buendia not releasing the ball again. He's good at that.
-
Better start to second half anyway, getting the fullbacks in play more in final third.
-
Looks like Buendia is one of the type of players who tend to always make wrong decision with the ball
-
Nakamba doing the dirty work well.
-
Ffs ollie gotta do better than that
-
Watkins should have passed
-
Get in!!!!!
-
Yesssss
-
Yesssss konsa !!!!
-
KONSA
-
POUR IT ON
-
Hattrick begging
-
Corners against Leicester are like penalties.
They're so good everywhere else on the pitch but jesus christ.
-
Konsa on a hat trick
-
Chav vardy coming on ffs
-
Sweet.
-
Steptoe warming up.
-
Surely Schmeichel had I under control when it touched his shins?
-
No way Vardy doesn't score against us.
-
Ezri Ezri Ezri
-
Get that chalked off Schmeichel you tosser!
-
How tf do villa get the first yellow?!
This is out of control.
-
Leicester have done shitloads of fould no yellows and he gives nakamba and yellow for a soft tackle
-
Go on Kunstper, have a word and see if you can get that chalked off as well.
VAR can't keep on saving you if you have crisp packets for hands.
-
GETTT THE FUCK INNN!!!!
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
-
Well that goal has saved me slagging off Ollie for rest of game1
Different animal this half.
-
More c0rners please
-
The hardesf part of a match thread is working out whose streams are ahead and whose are behind. Particularly when a goal goes in!
-
We look more aggressive under Gerrard
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?
-
So after all their fouls, we're first to get a yellow.
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?
Shush!
-
Dewsbury-Hall sounds like he's run by the National Trust.
-
JJ needs to avenge his non-goal too
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?
Yes I remember that.
-
Another turd ref
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?
Yes, in a midweek game when Brian Little was manager.
-
That was not a fucking foul
It should be 3-1. Useless twerp ref
-
Lovely flick by buendia
-
Dewsbury-Hall sounds like he's run by the National Trust.
I'm convinced I've stopped there.
-
Approaching 20 fouls, Leicester. Not a single caution.
-
Dewsbury-Hall sounds like he's run by the National Trust.
Yes, I always half expect Antiques Roadshow to be held at Dewsbury-Hall at some point.
-
Great bits of individual skill from Emi and Marv
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?
Yes, in a midweek game when Brian Little was manager.
Beat Wimbledon 7-1 the game before IIRC. Can remember it being 4-1 and think that *this* was how it was going to be at Villa for the rest of the season. We were going to destroy all comers by a cricket score.
I was young & naïve.
-
We need a 3rd. No way is this staying 2-1
-
Ramsey growing, telling the midfield to push up behind him.
-
Buendia just runs and loses ball over and over
-
Buendia in possession plays like he's against a league one team pressing.
-
Vardy will fuck us over now
-
Is it just me or is Ramsey showing signs of filling into the Grealish gap a bit?
I think he’s excellent
-
And here’s Steptoe, reducer please Marv.
-
Here’s the chav
-
Vardy on.
They're going 2 upfront by looks of it.
-
And here’s Steptoe, reducer please Marv.
Legit one, mind.
-
Need to freshen it up abit.
Get sanson and el ghazi on
-
Legit, but a particularly old fashioned reducer.
That would do.
-
Damn unlucky ollie !!
Great save kasper
-
I’m actually being quite impressed by Buendia so far.
-
We do need that 3rd though
-
Change it Steve, they’re growing into this.
-
Buendia with a totally unnecessary chest down there.
-
Good chance goes begging.
-
Ramsey won’t get an eas over chance than that.
-
Jj what a fuckin miss
You know thats going to cost us now
-
Now would be a good time to get Sanson on, dropped deep a bit too much.
-
Worried these chances are going to cost us
-
We are going to rue these chances aren’t we? It’s the Villa way
-
We have to put these chances away ffs.
-
Oh JJ. You should have done better there sir. I hope that’s not one of “those” misses
-
Time ti get jj off i think. Sanson please
Two changes coming for villa
-
Did a Leicester player not get booked for that?!
-
IT'S NOT CASH, IT'S MCGINN.
-
Chuks coming on and sanson
-
Shit, we should be out of sight. These fuckers are nailed on to equalise now.
-
Did a Leicester player not get booked for that?!
doesn't look like it
-
What a save emi
-
Good save Emi. Thought that was in.
-
I do like the way that Gerrard knows we need to maintain energy levels in central midfield and makes changes accordingly.
-
Emi.. just wow.
-
What a fucking save from Emi
-
Ha whoever posted about putting a reduced on Vardy....I think that was Gerrard's exact instructions to Sanson.
-
Amazing stuff
-
What a save Emi.
-
15 mins left on my stream.
The anxiety is brewing nicely now.
-
Luiz and buendia off
Chuk and sanson on
-
I watched that header and was convinced it was in, I was already swearing, then Emi somehow not only hung in the air, but got higher. He is simply incredible. That's goal against every other goalie in the league...
-
Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.
Weren't we 4-1 up v these once and it ended 4-4?
Yes, in a midweek game when Brian Little was manager.
Beat Wimbledon 7-1 the game before IIRC. Can remember it being 4-1 and think that *this* was how it was going to be at Villa for the rest of the season. We were going to destroy all comers by a cricket score.
I was young & naïve.
No, we drew 4-4 against Leicester the previous season to the season we beat Wimbledon 7-1. I was living abroad when we drew 4-4 but I was back home for a visit and attended the 4-4. By the time we beat Wimbledon 7-1 I was living back in England. It was shortly before Christmas when we thrashed Wimbledon and there were long and loud chants of "Merry Christmas Wimbledon" from the Holte end. I was at the game with my fiance at the time and it was her first time at a proper football match.

This is the value of having experienced players in the team.
Emi wasting time like last week and Young trying to get the Leicester diver sent off.
-
Nakamba has really improved in such a short time

Get the 3rd and open the eggnog.

They were both in 94/95.
You're getting confused with the 5-0 win at Christmas in 96/97.

Big critic of him but Nakamba been great today tidying up. And also passed calmly.
-
I am bricking it

After Man City Gerrard commented on us having to know when to make smart fouls. Something Man City are superb at. Tactical annoying ways to stop the opponent from playing. I’m not a huge fan of the dark arts but the alternative is complete naivety at this level. We need more of the former and less of the latter.

I stand corrected, you are right.

Am I right in saying that "My sphincter is puckering" was the B-side of "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavour On The Bedside Overnight"?
-
Nakamba has had an excellent game…
-
Bricking it
-
After the JJ VAr decision, this is one of those games where we're two minutes from 90, and I could till end up totally over the moon, or completely fucked off.
-
Come on Villa. It's 3:20am here and I despise these ******. Another goal please, Villa, then we can relax.
-
My stream has died. I think I'm glad. Doesn't Ieanacho always score against us?
-
My stream has died. Fuck!

-
Maddison, what a ******.
-
Maddison you scumny little twerp
-
Got to love McGinn for moments like that.
-
4 minutes added time.

Reloaded He****ls and relaunched the game. Back on.
-
That was pure petulance by Maddison
-
This is where we need to be smart and just play percentages.
-
This puckering isn’t getting any easier
-
Keep it villa ffs.
-
Chuk has done really well
-
Yesssssss! Fucking love it
-
Frantically pressing refresh on here
-
All over. 2-1.
-
Brilliant. Well held out. And coming from behind too!
-
What a fuckin win
Absolutely delighted
-
I love the shit-housing Ashley Young brings to this team.
-
Great win. Not really mesmerising but full of guts and spirit, it looks as though Gerrard knows how to get the best out of them, long may it continue
-
So what we're basically saying now is the next time villa are in the lead, force the opposition to shoot from distance so martinez catches it and then tell him to lay on the floor with one hand on it until the games over because there is nothing anyone can do to touch him? Ridiculous
Well, apart from being booked for time wasting.
He couldn't as the ball is live.
-
And under his control! Genius
