Some surprises in the line up. Assume PC is getting rested. Chambers in a defensive midfield position. Buendia deserves a start.
-
Nakamba likely not ready and probably doesn't want to throw Tim in away to Burnley. Like the line-up, good to see Buendia given the start away from home and Coutinho rested for Tuesday. Looks like 4-3-1-2.
-
Interesting.
-
Saving PC for the sky sports Tuesday night wankfest.
-
Them. This will not be an easy game at all

-
A win please and then we will be zen for the rest of the season.
-
Good line up for me. Let’s see thought initially a 1-1 but I’m thinking a 2-0 to us now
-
Yep would guess Chambers will be the holding midfielder to let McGinn and Luiz play further forward, with Buendia operating behind Ings and Watkins. Quite like it, as Buendia isn't soft for a small lad.
-
Happy with that lineup. No complaints from me.
-
Christ, is Bardsley still going?!
-
Is Ramsey injured?
-
Glad to see Coutinho dropped. Can't afford to carry him away from home. Chambers will play defensive midfield, SG has mentioned him there a few weeks back. Strong team, let's hope Ollie doesn't need 7 attempts before scoring. Be clinical, Villa.
-
Win please.
-
How do you know we're not playing three centre backs?
Good to see that Sanson lives. Still can't get in when JJ or Luiz are missing though...
-
Interesting.
Good to see Buendia start.
-

First thing I thought was is that 3/5 at the back. That be only 2 in midfield which seems a bit erm suicidal
-
Buendia deserves a start so that's good to see. Interesting line up. I've no real complaints Considering who's available. Would have been nice to see Sanson get a start I suppose but Gerrard really doesn't rate him does he?
-

That's what I thought too. Full backs/wing backs should be better suited to it now. Happy for Buendia, needs to make it count.
-
Is Ramsey injured?
Not heard anything, so I guess he’s resting him for this one
-

Injured in training. Groin issue.
-
Not the line up I was expecting, but good to see Buendia starting, hopefully Phil will be our super sub, if needed.
-
Glad Buendia starts, finally!
Not sure about Chambers at dm or as 1 of 3 cbs if he decides to go that way. We’ll see what happens.
UTV!
-
Burnley will be terrified to see Chambers on the pitch instead of Coutinho, I'm sure. If we are so pathetically negative we have to play five at the back against fucking Burnley, fuck knows what we will try against Liverpool. Three goalies, maybe?

Can we do that ? :(
-
As long as one of them's not Nyland, we should be fine for a point.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Chambers as DM rather than defence.
-
He’d have picked the Nakamba instead of Chambers If that’s the way he was going surely

You can clutch that straw but I reckon it’s a straight five at the back
-
5 at the back? Booooo. Against Burnley, fuck me.
Absolute nonsense from Steven.
-
Can't believe he'd be setting up not to lose rather than win if he wants top half as he says.
Fucking hope not anyway.

If it is I'm NOT volunteering to get CDBF down off the roof. He's a nice lad and all that but I'm afraid of heights.
-
He's between McGinn and Luiz on the Teamsheet. He's playing in Midfield. Which should release Luiz and McGinn forward. And hopefully one or both will have a good game.
-
Commentary on 5 Live if anyone's struggling to somehow 'see' the game.
-
It's a back 4 according to the wireless.
-
Should be a little less X rated for violence in commentary only
-
Chambers settled into DM, McGinn and Luiz in front of him.
-
Nice touch dropping PC. He can be brought on for twenty minutes when they've got 6 yellow cards.
-
Get inGS!
-
great through ball.
-
Danny boy
-
Good stuff.
-
Has Chambers played DM before?
-
Buendia is going to be a star for us
-
Has Chambers played DM before?
Played there for Fulham (and if I read correctly was their player of the season).
-
Great work from back to front. Buendia looks to be really coming on strong with the opportunities he’s been given lately. Great finish from a great finisher, good stuff Danny!
-
Villa fans loud or what.
-
Ings cool as fuck there. Lovely ball Buendia.

-
Get the fuck in!!! What a brilliant pass from Emi.
-
Emi B is magic.
-
And that is why Emi should be starting EVERY week Steven
-
Playing well so far. Need to tighten up defensively... but definitely on the front foot.
-
Well done Ings. Good start.
-
Good free kick opportunity here.
-
Shite Doug!
-
Good free kick opportunity here.
I'm a long way behind on my stream, but I'm guessing the words Douglas Luiz and 'sails over the bar' are heading in the direction of this thread.
-
Why in fucks name does Douglas Luiz continue to take direct free kicks for us?
-
Into the wall...
-
Watkins. Great run, useless pullback.
-
Southgate there.
-
Let's have three before half time and FTF!
-
Probably watching Aaron Lennon.
-
Digne harsh yellow.
-
Probably watching Aaron Lennon.
Very good!
-
Watkins. Great run, useless pullback.
He's poor.
-
Doug shit out of a 50/50 there. Grr!
-
Looking much more compact and the spaces between midfield and defence are smaller. Much more secure and dangerous on the counter.
-
Luiz is a fanny.
-
Nice goal from Ings earlier
-
Watkins. Great run, useless pullback.
He's poor.
I thought he did everything right there, someone needs to be dropping into that space.
-
McGinn used his arse well just then.
-
Buendia should have done better with that.
-
Why didn't he shoot
-
Is it four or five at the back, please?
-
Mings passes to them. FFS!
-
We need to start faking injuries to break up the play. All part if the game now.
-
Is it four or five at the back, please?
Fuck ups?
-
Fuck close from them.
-
Digne harsh yellow.
To put it mildly. He got to the ball about five minutes before the Burnley player. Ridiculous. Like Mings’s the other week v Arsenal.
-
Is it four or five at the back, please?
Four.
-
Oh yes! Goooooooooolol!
-
Is it four or five at the back, please?
4. Chambers in front
-
What has happened to Emi's kicking? It used to be lazer now it's straight back to the opposition.
-
Get the fuck in lads!!!!! emiiiiiiiiiiii
-
get in Emi, great move
-
Emi. Yessaaassssasas
-
2-0
-
Karthorst just went close.
-
Is it four or five at the back, please?
Four...Chambers looks lost in front of them. McGinn RCM and Luiz LCM...another one that grinds my gears
And there's the second...Buendia! Good play from Watkins, Ings and Digne with the assist
-
But dey wants it more!!!111 Are boyz don’t stand a chance!

-
Pretty impressive stuff given how good Burnley have been recently
-
Twice I've buffered and missed both goals ffs
-
Eat my goal.
-
Saved Emu!
-
Lovely goal get in.
-
Pretty impressive stuff given how good Burnley have been recently
Whisper it but after our run of very poor form we look quite decent and confident. Of course…there is 50 minutes left and Liverpool in the week so we will be back to moaning again in a bit
-
Yessssss!!!!
My stream is basically a day behind.
-
Our fans are singing 'we'll meet again some sunny day'.. We're literally playing them again in 12 days.
-
Gettt innnn!!!!!
Chuffed that it was Buendia as well.
-
Is it four or five at the back, please?
Four.
Ta. No wonder we are winning, then. 🙂
-
Twice I've buffered and missed both goals ffs
I will wishing you a pox on your internet service from here on
-
Ah, the Kit Stealer deflected Buendia's shot past the keeper. Oh dear!
-
Nice to see Ollie involved with the goal and celebrating when someone else scored!
-

Thanks 🙂
-
Digne has been giving McNeill far too much space
-
Bye, bye, Burnley, Burnley, bye byyyyyyyyye!
-
Very nice to see that ****** Mee on the touchline looking pissed off.
Now a member of the coaching staff I believe. What a ******
Get in Buendia.
-
Our fans are singing 'we'll meet again some sunny day'.. We're literally playing them again in 12 days.
Same old faces
-
Huzzah!!!!
-
Up to 10th, woohoo.
-
Martinez is embarrassing doing this time wasting
-
What an excellent season Brentford are having. 2-0 and a very solid mid table position in their first ever PL campaign
-
Martinez is embarrassing doing this time wasting
Why is it embarrassing?
-
Bye, bye, Burnley, Burnley, bye byyyyyyyyye!
We'll meet again rendition !
Burnley are poor.
Buendia needs to be in every game
-
Digne’s awareness for those type of opportunities adds so much to our play.
-
Martinez is embarrassing doing this time wasting
Why is it embarrassing?
It’s not. Now he gets a little carried at times but he takes the sting out of the opponents play and pisses them off. I’m fine with it
-
Up to 10th, woohoo.
This is what we're talking about
Good targets.
-
Martinez is embarrassing doing this time wasting
Why is it embarrassing?
It's not embarrassing, it's professional shithousing and it's brilliant.
-
Martinez is embarrassing doing this time wasting
I might be wearing my unimpressed-by-Gerrard spectacles, but it feels like he's been doing that a lot more since SG arrived.
-
Martinez will get a yellow soon - and to be fair, deserved. He needs to stop dicking about because he’s getting a reputation for it
-
Martinez is embarrassing doing this time wasting
Why is it embarrassing?
It’s hardly embarrassing or even excessive. The crowd is just testy being down 2-0 already and facing relegation.
-

I just don't like it. He does it whenever he can. Hes such a decent chap as well. Rather unsporting if you ask me.
He'll take a yellow card for what?
-
Dogheads losing. Wonder if we've got enough about us to pip them to 8th spot?
-
As long as he keeps a clean sheet or we score more than them, he can give the ball a 30-second spin on his bellend if he likes.
-

He's been doing it for ages it's his worst quality.

Disallowed actually.
Let's not get carried away.

Indeed. Go'on Emi!
-

It's not embarrassing, it's professional shithousing and it's brilliant.
It's a bit early for it...also every time he hoofs it he is giving possession straight back to them. Throw it quick to the full backs. Much happier now McGinn and Luiz have swapped sides
-
Dogheads losing. Wonder if we've got enough about us to pip them to 8th spot?
Balls. VAR disallowed.
-
Defence doing a Keystone Kops routine there. Sort it out!
-
Nothing wrong with Goalie shithousing.See Courtois,Pickford et al
-
What an excellent season Brentford are having. 2-0 and a very solid mid table position in their first ever PL campaign
Should have bought toney when Brentford was sniffing round Peterborough
-
Utter shite from Konsa there
-
As long as he keeps a clean sheet or we score more than them, he can give the ball a 30-second spin on his bellend if he likes.
Well quite.
Cup finals and decisive matches maybe but no need generally. Or at least not so soon in a game
-
And again.
-
As long as he keeps a clean sheet or we score more than them, he can give the ball a 30-second spin on his bellend if he likes.
The Burnley fans would still be unimpressed, the miserable Northern twats.
-
Utter shite from Konsa there
There's talk of Konsa leaving I wonder if his mind is elsewhere
-
What the fuck was Konsa doing there?!
-

He'll take a yellow card for what?
If it helps us take the sting out of Burnley's hoofball caveman tactics, I don't see the issue with it all.
Unsporting? The mind boggles, Footy.
Carry on please, Emi.
-

The game is littered with should haves. I’m sure loads of fans have said that about our players too over the past few years.
-
2 minutes added.
-
Nothing wrong with Goalie shithousing.See Courtois,Pickford et al
Unsporting and negative not wanting to keep ball in play.
I know goes on but at least let it be final 10 mins of a game not 1st half nonsense .
-
Card for kit-stealer.
-
2 minutes added.
Because of Martinez
-
And Watkins.
-
Diabolical defending by Konsa there.
-
2 minutes added.
Because of Martinez
As if.
-
No problem at all with Emi fucking about, it's funny watching their missing tooth simpletons getting so worked up about it.
Glad to see Mings giving Konsa a bollocking, wtf was he playing at.

HT.

It's more to do with that twat Ashley Barnes tripping over a blade of grass all the time.
Fucking cheat
-
Again, not a yellow card.
-
Excellent first half performance by the outfielders there.
Up the Villa
-
HT 2-0. Well that was alright wasn’t it? We need to get a third to wrap this up. They will come at us again. Great to see overall our defending being a lot more compact as a team.
-
Particularly impressed with Buendia.
-
Booooooooooo! Wanker! Wanker!
Love it!
-
Excellent first half performance by the outfielders there.
Up the Villa
I sense a but
-
Particularly impressed with Buendia.
He's been dominant. Such an intelligent player.
-
Excellent first half performance by the outfielders there.
Up the Villa
Silly comment. Martinez has made 5 saves on 11 shots with some good stops.
Their players are surrounding the referee at the HT whistle, fans losing their minds.. they can’t even focus on the game. You’re tying to tell us what Emi has done has no value? Don’t be daft.
-
Excellent first half performance by the outfielders there.
Up the Villa
Eh? They'd have scored two or three without Emi's saves.
-
Coutinho is a top top player. But it’s important to also have a player like Buendia that can come in and play to this level. I really hope vs Liverpool we find a way to play both of them together and really have a go.
-
That was a good half. Hopefully we can manage two in a row for a change.
-
Good performance so far.
-
Excellent first half performance by the outfielders there.
Up the Villa

It’s bollocks and just his way at having a snide dig at Emi Martinez.

Sorry - FOOTY?? (report to moderator) :)
-
No buts.
Ings is showing his striking prowess and feel he could have a nice little run to the end of season.
Interesting without Coutinho and Ramsey as well but some of the football was made very well and the second goal was great.
I think Digne showing some class today considering he wa supposed to be finished for the season
Hope he gets the next direct free kick opportunity
-
Excellent first half performance by the outfielders there.
Up the Villa
Smith’s still not coming back Footy.
-
For those of us not watching, is Chambers playing defensive mid? If so, how's he doing in there? We deserve to be 2-0 up?
-
Has lee hendrie died his hair silver
-
As far as Emi goes, it's the sort of thing we'd give pelters to if he was playing for the opposition, but he's not so who cares? His antics make me laugh. My favourtite player by far.
-
HT 2-0. Well that was alright wasn’t it? We need to get a third to wrap this up. They will come at us again. Great to see overall our defending being a lot more compact as a team.
Buendia has been superb but the scoreline is flattering us I think. Our goal is leading a bit of a charmed life. Konsa is a bag of nerves and Chambers is offering no protection to the centre backs. I'm wondering if Gerrard will be tempted to hook one of Konsa or Chambers and bring in a proper midfielder instead. Whenever we try and play through the lines we look like we could hammer them. But Martinez going direct is only playing into their hands. Next goal crucial.
-
For those of us not watching, is Chambers playing defensive mid? If so, how's he doing in there? We deserve to be 2-0 up?
yea he is.
We’ve played ok. They’ve had far too much of the ball for my liking. McNeill is playing well. We’re too casual at times. Especially Konsa at the end of the first half. If they score the next goal we could easily collapse.
-

I refuse to focus on that anymore we're 2-0 up and hopefully well on way to quality 3pts. We can all have our views so no more said on time wasting antics of Emi Martinez
Great if we take this win and get us in to top 10.
Liking the Ings play today and maybes he refreshed Similarly Buendia always a hive of activity good goals.
-
For those of us not watching, is Chambers playing defensive mid? If so, how's he doing in there? We deserve to be 2-0 up?
I haven't noticed him once.
-

Like a CB playing in midfield. Picked for his height but I can't recall him winning a header.
-

Can't say I've really noticed him break anything up.

Yes. You can't get away from him at Sky atm - fair play to the little one.

Thanks mate. McNeill is a very good player.
-
2 x stupid cards and some unforced errors at the back but overall in control without being that good.
-
As far as Emi goes, it's the sort of thing we'd give pelters to if he was playing for the opposition, but he's not so who cares? His antics make me laugh. My favourtite player by far.
The shithousing to Fernandes before he missed the pen, then the little jiggle to the Utd fans will never not be funny.
-
Martinez is time wasting like a mother fucker. He’ll get a yellow soon enough.
-
I wonder if Gerrard thought that Burnley might be a bit too physical for big Tim? Come on Villa!!!
-
Martinez is time wasting like a mother fucker. He’ll get a yellow soon enough.
Slow them down, don't let Burnley get a head of steam. Emi is the master.

That was my moment of the season.

I did that in about 1999 just before going on a weekend in London. It turned out pale green.

Years ago back in the punk days I went to Coventry with blue hair. It pissed down all game. When I got home my dad said you look like a fuckin ink bottle
-
Get the fuck in! Gooooooooolol!
-
Game over ladies and gents
-
what a goal
-
Fucking superb Ollie
-
Olliieee!…get in!
-
Ollieeee
-
Well done boys!
-
I think we got 6 goals coming!
Wonderful
Can't stop quality like we have Burnley are a league below ... Or will be !
-
YESSS!
-
What a fucking team.
-
Yessssss!
-
Flipping fantastic!
-
I love a diving header!

-
It’s amazing what happens when you play players on their ‘natural’ side like McGinn and Doug are now.
-
Great goal that
-
This is why the Ings/Watkins combination will never work.
-
We are playing some lovely stuff
-
Ollieeee
Watkins is this first Villa player to score 10+ goals in Prem , in consecutuive seasons since big Benteke.
-
I think we’re going to win this one.
-
Fuck yeah that was quality!
-
Fabulous goal!!!!!!
-
Refreshed and thought var had taken it off but I've gone back five minutes
-
Lovely goal again.
-
Last season we were schizophrenic first half vs second half of the season, this year we are like it month by month. Great performance so far today.
-
I think players are very relaxed and are getting to express themselves great stuff.
-
You love to see it.
When he gets a bit older - and when we have better competition for places in midfield - I could see McGinn fulfiling the current Milner role (albeit opposite flank) as a CM or auxillary left back. He's got that bit of fight good fullbacks need and decent delivery.
-
That goal started with Chambers winning it back.
-
Brilliant goal, worked it through midfield really well, started from an excellent tackle from Doug as well.
-
We are playing some lovely stuff
And we don't need Coutinho to do so!
-
That goal started with Chambers winning it back.
Was it Chambers I thought it was Luiz.
-
The French commentator is impressed with 'McGin'. Indeed. I'll have a nice Martini Gin after this performance.
-
Mcginn is having a great game.
-
You know things are going well when McGinn does a Zidane turn!
-
Time to bring on Chuk or Tim to get some more experience?
-
That goal started with Chambers winning it back.
Was it Chambers I thought it was Luiz.
I thought Chambers made the headed challenge initially and then Luiz tidied up and brought it out. I might be wrong!
-
Better than them in every way. Love games like this where we take the piss out of a bunch of cloggers.
-
That goal started with Chambers winning it back.
Was it Chambers I thought it was Luiz.
I thought Chambers made the headed challenge initially and then Luiz tidied up and brought it out. I might be wrong!
Either way it was us winning the ball and breaking with pace, which is great.
-
Good to see the players stepping up today.
-
We owe these fuckers a good pummelling but I have to say I’m very very pleasantly surprised.
-
Chambers off for Carney
-
Think we need 25 minutes of all round top class shithousery just to windup the miserable fuckers.
Pity Ben Mee isn't playing - it would have been really great for a nice meaty tackle from someone to end his season/career.
-
Card for Brownhill. ******!
-
Unlucky Ollie.
-
McGinn defensively has been incredibly clever today
-
Chambers off for Carney
Can't see why we keep giving him minutes. If he doesn't want to stay he can do one. Not been that impressed with him either.
-
Palace winning means we are down to 11th spot but Ollie's goal gives us a GD of +1. Brentford on the same points as us have -9.
-
Speaking of shithousery here comes Ashley for Danny Ings

Chambers off for Carney
Can't see why we keep giving him minutes. If he doesn't want to stay he can do one. Not been that impressed with him either.
Well if we bomb squad him he’s definitely going. I think we’ve sent a message given how little we’ve seen of him recently
-
Which one is our "shit half"?
-
Formation worked a treat today, swarming all over Burnley in every area. We'd win the league if every team played 4-4-2 against us on today's evidence!
Really should've tried out Chambers as DM way earlier as balance to midfield so much better.

PC coming on.

Burnley have all but given up.

Carney's barely featured since Jan.
Not sure what the latest is but he still has a couple of years left. Guess we'll make a final decision in the summer.
He's a good ball carrier so will be frustrating if he thinks he's got better chance in Bundesliga.

'Ello! 'ello! 'ello!

Super game for Emi. Replaced by Phil

I am open to us keeping Coutinho as back up for Emiliano😀

Take a bow, Emi son. Cracking performance.
-
Yep very good from Emi today.

Ah, the traffic must be bad outside their ground.

Burnley 0-3 Aston Villa
Michael Brown
Former Manchester City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
It has gone a bit flat. Burnley can't get any momentum, Villa are delaying it. The fans are leaving here with disappointment as you can understand.
Burnley have done remarkable these last few weeks; the fight is there, they've got to keep believing. Villa have been excellent, they look like the could score more at any moment.
-
Cracking challenge by Tyrone to save us there
-
Bollocks!
-
Ah fuck. 3-1
-
Ffs Gerrard out again.
-
Disappointing not to keep the clean sheet.
3 shut outs would've been good going into Liverpool game.
-
I hope this result doesn’t end up relegating these lot instead of Leeds.

Boo

FT

Clown defending, shame.

Clown defending, shame.
Clown defending? It was a mistake in a game we generally made it look easy against our opponents

I hope it relegates them instead of Everton.

Clean sheet gone shit

Job done. I'd have liked to have seen us letting the ball do the work second half but we've been a touch too sloppy. That said, overall good performance.
