Reckon youri might score tonight, collymore-esque screamer
-
Lenglet lives! A good blend (bowel?) of regular and irregular.
-
I like this video by Alkmaar

Moreno and Duran on the bench. I hope they both get a run out.
-
Interesting lineup, I don't hate it. Hope that defence works though. If we score first, I think we'll be alright.
-
Sides announced early?
-
I got 2 players wrong. I had Zaniolo in for Diaby and Moreno playing the first half with Digne coming on at halftime come what may.

I'd be surprised if Moreno starts a game straight away. Unless Digne picks up his 5th yellow and we've no choice.
-
Looks 3-4-3 to me.
-
Sides announced early?
Same time as always for the European games.
-
1 hour Premier League. 1.15 Europe. No idea why.
-
Ah okay.
-
Just thought it was one of your usual early calls.

Terrifying scenes from the Alkmaar mob

Couple of Police Horses at Witton Station, haven’t seen police horses down the Villa for years !
-
i see Duran is off the naughty step
-
i see Duran is off the naughty step
He's back from injury you mean
-

He's back from injury you mean
Yeah ok "injury"
-
Talk of the players having to get off the Team Coach and walk through the fans due to AZ fireworks.
-
i see Duran is off the naughty step
He's back from injury you mean
Yeah ok "injury"
There's zero evidence to say there was a spat of any kind so why buy into it?
-
Win please.
-

It was pointed out they were there for Luton or Brighton I think. Loaned from Worcestershire Police as WMP got rid of their mounted Police in 99 I think.

Let's win this please..
UTV..

I've seen no evidence that Emery is a liar. If you want to believe he is, then go ahead.
-
First I’ve heard of this what’s the story?
-
He deleted all his pre-Villa stuff as well as most of his national team posts. Maybe he's fallen out with every team he's ever played for.
-

His twitter still has villa related stuff on there and thought he'd explained some boring reason related to sponsorship or having a media manager take over.
And Emery said there's no issue, so why want to believe that there's drama?
-
First I’ve heard of this what’s the story?
Footballer deletes stuff from one of his social media channels (but not the rest). Fans post stuff suggesting he's leaving the club. Player explains and manager says there's no problem but he has an injury. A handful of people insist there's a problem still and it's all lies.
-
His Facebook has plenty of Villa posts as well. It was only Insta where he wiped nearly everything regardless of club.

Emery says he's having to take the player through a process.
-
So not his social media like you first claimed?
-
He deleted all his pre-Villa stuff as well as most of his national team posts. Maybe he's fallen out with every team he's ever played for.
He’s unhinged you know.
-
"With Jhon Duran, I have my challenge as a coach with him. He is young & his potential could be great, to be the level of one of the better strikers in the world in the future. But it is about trying to build & to do a process with him"

Pure Footy-Vill vibes

I'd be surprised if Moreno starts a game straight away. Unless Digne picks up his 5th yellow and we've no choice.
Idea was to give him a full warm-up and then get 45 minutes in his legs before then bringing Digne on.
-
"With Jhon Duran, I have my challenge as a coach with him. He is young & his potential could be great, to be the level of one of the better strikers in the world in the future. But it is about trying to build & to do a process with him"
So you decided to read 'do a process' means that he's reprimanded him for some reason, rather than he's having to coach him as he's young, in a new league etc etc?
-
Manager in praising young player but saying there's a lot more to come if he does things right shocker.
-
So all the reports about him throwing his toys out about wanting more game time are made up ?? And then he's coincidentally omitted from squads . No smoke without fire
-
Same squad as Forest except for the addition of Marshall and Duran. Do we really need two keepers on the bench? Wouldn't Tim have been better
-

Don't you have to have 2 keepers for European games?

Why does it bother you so much? You sound obsessed about him.
-
Anyone got a river

It's becoming the "Who's Dan Bardell?" of our European nights.
-

Do you have a single valid source for the 'reports'?
Just silly twitter nonsense mate
-

Right now the smoke is coming out of your arse. You might want check up there for a fire. You’ve decided to make shit up as usual and spin it as fact. When in fact it isn’t.
-
The 'reports' were from a few nimrods on social media that latched onto him deleting everything from Instagram and only wanted to focus on Villa, and a few shite sites that report on what said nimrods post.
This is the Unai quote, sounds like the kind of thing said about countless young players by managers each year
“With Jhon Duran I have my challenge as a coach with him,” said Emery. “He is young and his potential could be great, to be the level of one of the better strikers in the world in the future.
“But it is about trying to build and do a process with him. He is still young and getting experience. Each training day here is important to him for when he is facing each match, to feel comfortable and face the level of the players we are facing.”
-
Need to win tonight and beat Legia by more than one goal to finish top of the group I think

Well we can do this !
Enjoy the match!

Depends on if he had the ultra spicy wings at Hooters.
-
There were a lot of people on here believed the instagram thing, and that he'd done it in a strop after being left out of the squad for that weekend's game. It was only after, when Emery said he'd asked him about it and Durán told him it was nothing, that people dropped it.
-
Urgh, why is that rancid cow on my TV screen?

Dropped it because the manager clarified the situation. But even then Tin foil Tim has his doubts because nothing is the truth anymore. Another whopping conspiracy.

So nimrods then ;)

Anne widdecombe round for tea?

That doesn’t narrow it down. Is it Clare Balding? I’m going to guess. Eluko?

People flying to conclusions again.

Maybe Risso is watching a Tory conference rather than the Conference League.

Given who he was talking about it could be either.

Lovely touch for Charlie there . HITS
-
Right let's do these. UTV!
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
SCOOOOORCHIOOOOOO!!!
-
Longlegs scores
-
Goalllllllllllll!!!
-
YESSSSSSojvds;jodsv:sdv:Odsv;jsdv COME ON!
-
Nice! Missed this, still searching for a river!!
-
yes boys!
-
Fuck yeah!
-
Ruled out ffs
-
Goooooooallll
-
Nice! Missed this, still searching for a river!!
Check your messages!
-
Great corner, first chance was really close from Watkins, 2nd was a tap in from a very good ball back in.
-
Disallowed!
-
Bollocks.
-
Oh fuck off.
-
ah, crap.
-
awwww, right decision though to be fair.
-
Ah what shite!
-
There's been enough chaotic VAR drama over the last few days, don't need it tonight.
-
How?
-
No replay of whatever it was, either.
-
I fuckin' hate VAR.
-
awwww, right decision though to be fair.
I dunno man, Watkins heads it at goal and it's cleared to Bailey
-
How?
Corner taker was clearly offside when Watkins made his header and then the ball bounced to him off the post clearance.
-
Commentators said offside but swiftly moved on. Strange.
-
Looked OK to me. Wankers.
-
Their player and keeper were playing us on????
-
Bit harsh on Bailey? I need another look at that. I thought someone was playing Bailey on…
-
Nice! Missed this, still searching for a river!!
Can you share that dribble?
-
Irritating, but correct decision.
-
I fuckin' hate VAR.
I hate it when it goes against us, but when it goes in our favour, I love it.
-
Doesn't the fact their defender deliberately played the ball of the line make him onside?
-
I like this commentator. Feels like he might be a Villa fan.
-
Nice! Missed this, still searching for a river!!
Can you share that dribble?
messaged!
-
Blimey
-
Doesn't the fact their defender deliberately played the ball of the line make him onside?
No, and it never has other than to justify the rodri goal against us.
-
Bailey was half asleep.
-
The goal that Salah got last season against the Dingles stood after the defenders header in between, and that ball was played to him, Watkins shoots and it's cleared to Bailey. That's bollocks for me.
-
awwww, right decision though to be fair.
Disappointed for Clement though.
-
That’s a penalty surely
-
I'm fine with that one, if we'd conceded it and it hadn't been ruled out I'd have been fucking livid.
-
That really looked like a penalty to me!
-
That’s a penalty surely
would've been if it was someone like Kane going down.
-
That was a penalty FFS.
-
Superb pass Lenglet.
-
Aitken tribute
https://twitter.com/THE_VUT390/status/1722707865167646845
-
I have seen penalties given for less than that. Ref seems a bit anti-inflammatory- a bit like ibuprofen.
-
Well it was a great clearance off the line tbf to their guy. Still think it's bollocks though.
-
Would have been a very soft penalty the kind Man Utd get given.
-
Is that Van Bommel any relation to the famous one
-
I fuckin' hate VAR.
I hate it when it goes against us, but when it goes in our favour, I love it.
😀
-
Is that Van Bommel any relation to the famous one
His son I think they said.
-
That looked off for them - luckily doesn’t matter.
-
Is that Van Bommel any relation to the famous one
Yep, his son, looks a lot like him as well.
-
I thought betting companies weren't allowed on the front of shirts in Euro comps?

Is it on a local basis, maybe? Don’t know
-
Tielemans close
-

Probably depends on the country the game's being played in.
-
Tielemans close
Decent save to be fair.
-
Li’l Lee said the penalty should’ve been checked. So now I’m convinced.
-
What a ball from Martinez. We do play some good stuff.
-
Surely the goals are coming?!
-
Matter of time this
-

Just spain and italy i think.
-
Alkmaar with a typical bland Nike kit. Eeugh.
-
How many of those fouls on Watkins did fucking forest get away with last weekend.
-
Alkmaar with a typical bland Nike kit. Eeugh.
I said this earlier. If we went with Nike and they just gave us templates they'd look like Alkmaar just in our colours.
-
How many of those fouls on Watkins did fucking forest get away with last weekend.
ep, Alkmaar seem to have watched it and decided to hold his shirt, push him or kick him every time the ball goes to him.
-
When is the AZ AZ67 derby ?
-
Their keeper flapping like a Wulvz fans flares
-
Their goalkeeper flaps more than a pigeon with Parkinson's.
-
Bit like Forest so far, lots of possession but rushing things at the end.
-
Bailey having one of those nights
-
interesting that Bailey and Diaby are swapping positions a lot.
-
Not convinced by this referee.
-
Stunned that wasn't a foul on Teilemens.
-
Not convinced by this referee.
me neither.
-
This commentator is pure Ron Manager. Isn't he, aren't they?
-
Not very happy with the way this is going. Keep giving the ball away and any chances created are spurned. One break away in the second half and we’re stuffed.
-
Stunned that wasn't a foul on Teilemens.
Especially when the next tackle was given as a foul agianst us moments later for the same thing.
-
Nor me
-
Right, so we've established the ref is a prick.
-
Wine time I think.
-
Not very happy with the way this is going. Keep giving the ball away and any chances created are spurned. One break away in the second half and we’re stuffed.
Not happy..?! We've been in their end for the whole match.
-
Zaniolo to come on and score the winner in 2nd half.
-
Alan Partridge doing the commentary
-
The ref has given them some really soft fouls and given us nothing.
-
As others have said, this is almost identical to the Forest game minus the ridiculous mistakes and odd choices of songs from home fans.
We need to be able to break these teams down when they pack the midfield and defence. Is this a gap in our squad?
-

Indeed
I can’t remember seeing such a one sided match in ages.
-
Wtf was that dog mask in the crowd all about?? Bizarre.
-
Bit like the Forest match, loads of possession, loads of corners that we make nothing of and no real end product. We need to score to settle us down.
-
I do think we've looked much more dangerous than against Forest so far.
-
Tielemans has played really well so far.
-
Li’l Lee just said it’s like Forest.
-
The commentator seems to like us, but knows jack shit about football.
-
I do think we've looked much more dangerous than against Forest so far.
No question. The games aren't even slightly comparable.
-
We don’t seem to want to shift out of 2nd gear here.
-
They're no mugs, mind
-
The commentator seems to like us, but knows jack shit about football.
He also isn't clear on who is Bailey and who is Diaby
-
First time for a good while, if ever we’ve seen the team under Emery look a little lost in the final third
-
The commentator seems to like us, but knows jack shit about football.

They are swapping positions constantly to be fair but yeah, he's got that wrong a few times. I think one of them mistook watkins for Bouba earlier as well.
-
How many times has Bailey lost possession?
-
We don’t seem to want to shift out of 2nd gear here.
Nice tribute to Matthew Perry there..
-
I can’t remember seeing such a one sided match in ages.
Only two shots on target though, it is a bit like Forest.
-
I do think we've looked much more dangerous than against Forest so far.
No question. The games aren't even slightly comparable.
I disagree. We are as on top like we were v Forest. We have got the ball into feet in the box like we did v Forest. We are as dominant as we were v Forest. They have clearly watched bloody Notts Forest. The difference is the atmosphere, being not partisan for the opposition.
-
Bailey not having the best of games again
-
AZ will have to commit players forward in the second half. That's when we capitalise.
-
Phew
-
It would be so Villa to go from averaging three goals a game to going on a goal drought.
-
Fuck close to them being up. Offside though by quite a bit
-
That wasn’t really a close offside either
-
It would be so Villa to go from averaging three goals a game to going on a goal drought.
Used up all our goals on that run when we couldn’t stop scoring

Can't agree. AZ are clearly packed in, playing like underdogs away from home. Forest were physical and hit their targets through the air. We are picking the ball off of AZ as soon as we lose it and just need to put the ball in the net at this point.
-
I can see the comparison to Forest in a way, we haven't created a clear chance other than the Watkins header before the disallowed goal.
-
Clearly offside to be fair and for me there was a clear foul in the build up.
-
Think we need to bring Bailey, Diaby and Watkins on very soon.
-
It would be so Villa to go from averaging three goals a game to going on a goal drought.
Teams are watching and adapting. We need another option somewhere (not sure where but I'm sure Emery does!)
-
Jeeze
-
Stop fucking about with it at the back.
-
Could we please now bloody score?
-
Phew!
-
They're getting confidant
-
Ok, enough pissing around. We need to do something especially with Legia winning tonight
-

This is where a more physical player up front will be useful, hopefully Duran can be that option.
-
Buendia would have had a laugh tonight I reckon.
-
Li’l Lee reckons if they had half a brain they would pick our high line with a Li’L Lee run from midfield.
-
Blimey that was very sloppy.
-
This is a bit crap now. Don't remotely look like scoring.

Think you're right
-
Kamara has done well breaking forward at times.
-
Fuck sake. Emi saved us again there

Not for me tonight, sadly.
-
How many times has Bailey lost possession?
3 times since I posted this. 7 minutes ago.
-
Only positive from that half was Martinez didn't chuck one in for a change.
-
Half time comes just at the right time.
-
Bailey…
I know. A topic that always comes up. But he’s just too inconsistent. He scores goals but today, he seems a little lost again. Like he tries too hard. But he’s not consistent enough for where we want to go.
Zaniolo on in the 2nd half please
-
Been well on top until last 5 mins
Someone said Tielemans playing well
-
How many times has Bailey lost possession?
3 times since I posted this.
To be fair a least some of it has been him playing passes that are 50/50 at best but if they'd come off we'd have been in on goal.
-
They're much better than the home game.
Get the feeling this will be another late show like Mostar was.
-
I thought Bailey was our biggest threat?
-
Been well on top until last 5 mins
Someone said Tielemans playing well
Not really.
-
Poor apart from first few minutes. We haven't created anything besides the disallowed goal. They've looked more likely
-
We need to change it a bit and start playing the ball quicker. Alkmaar are gradually getting more into the game and think we’ll struggle if they score first.
-

Same for me. We need a bit of guile, a clever through ball, a cheeky dink, someone to make it happen.
-
Kamara has done well breaking forward at times.
He’s been superb so far
-
This is not Bailey's one in ten game.
-
Only positive from that half was Martinez didn't chuck one in for a change.
Glass half full kinda guy

No chance! Haven’t you heard? He’s been caught keying Emery’s car and trying to fight the North Stand so now he’ll never play again.
-
too much overplaying , too many touches , times Villa should have shot insted of being clever .
Mcginn, Bailey and Diaby culprits of it.
-
Wouldn't mind seeing either Moreno or Cash on at HT.
-
We look pretty good when we actually try to attack, albeit the final ball slightly lacking. Looks a bit ponderous otherwise. Would like to see us move the ball a bit quicker and put them under sustained pressure. I think the game is there for the taking. Maybe swap Moreno for Digne and give Bailey a boot up the arse to make his passing more precise.
-
Started brightly but then have regressed into playing at the slow tempo that suits the game they are trying to play. Bailey has been woeful and given the ball.away pretty much every time he has had it.
-
I think Unai is trying to find the pattern when to use Bailey and when Zaniolo
-
And Id like us to get the crosses in quicker , did it early and got the disallowed goal but messed around too much as the game went on .
-
Think we've looked susceptible at CB. Cash on for either Lenglet or Carlos
-
I'm still not sure about the explanation of the disallowed goal being the same phase?
Looking at 2 of the Jackson goals for Chelsea on Monday were they not in the same phase then?
-
We need to up the tempo more. The play has really slowed for the last 15 minutes. AZ have come into it a bit in the last 10 minutes.
-
Pretty poor half to be honest. Trying to be too clever up front, and a bit sloppy at the back.
-
Been well on top until last 5 mins

Not really.
Disagree, think he was fine as was Kamara.
Bailey and Diaby have been where it has broken down.
-
I'm still not sure about the explanation of the disallowed goal being the same phase?
Looking at 2 of the Jackson goals for Chelsea on Monday were they not in the same phase then?
Didn’t see a problem with Jackson’s goals, but I thought following the Mings rule change after Man City away, Bailey was played onside by the defender deliberately touching the ball to stop Ollie’s header?
-
so according to the thread watkins, diaby, bailey, mcginn, lenglet, carlos and martinez have all been poor.. got it.
-
So I'm watching the pundits say that the offside against Bailey is correct because it is the same phase of play but surely if the defender intentionally plays the ball - which he clearly does - then doesn't he play Bailey onside?
-
I do think its funny when Zaniolo starts people want Bailey on and when Bailey starts people want Zaniolo on.
Hopefully when Zaniolo does come on he can do what Bailey's done in his sub appearances.
-
These European home games seem incredibly flat
-
Pretty poor half to be honest. Trying to be too clever up front, and a bit sloppy at the back.
Agreed the tempo of the passnng has been too slow and the ball into the front man at the edge of the box has been very poor.

That was my take mate.

Agreed, as I posted above. Maybe UEFA didn’t get the ‘let Man City win’ memo from PGMOL?
-
get dougie on for Leon , push Youri forward and Id be tempted to get Zaniolo on 60th min for Diaby who has been poor
-
Bailey and Diaby played two close to each other and seemed to get in each others way.
-
Wonder when he'll unleash the enfant terrible
-

As I said at the time
-
We should be beating these they drew against Excelsior at the weekend.
-
Final ball just not quite right so far, diaby and Watkins not involved enough for me but certainly no poor performances out there.
Perhaps Bailey is flirting with the latter though

Agreed, as I posted above. Maybe UEFA didn’t get the ‘let Man City win’ memo from PGMOL?
As I said at the time
said that to my lad , Bailey wasnt offside when the defender headed it off the line.
-
We should be beating these they drew against Excelsior at the weekend.
I thought they vanished in 1888.
-
These European home games seem incredibly flat
Which stand are you in?
-
Bailey loses it again.

Cheap shot, removed.

just hit the fucker

The DFS stand , sing up a bit its quiet

This is a bit crap now. Don't remotely look like scoring.
More wine.
Not for me tonight, sadly.
6.00 in morning where I am. So defo none. Although I spy half bottle of consumed red from Sunday
-
I really hate centre halves at full back.
-
Five players afraid to finish
-
more of that leon!
-
I really hate centre halves at full back.
Yeh, I don’t find us remotely as effective whenever we do that on either side.
-
Bailey lashes it in behind everyone
-
No changes at half time?
-
Oh come on Villa.
-
nobody wants too shoot
-
0-1 fucks sake
-
0 1
-
brian the snail at the back
-
You fucking idiots!!!!
-
Bailey is fucking wank.
he will score a screamer now.
-
tight
-
Fuck off.
-
Shit
-
Had enough warnings, he wasn't going to be offside every time.
-
Jesus Christ.
-
Ooooh dear.
-
Fucks sake
-
Ffs
-
Shit but offside?
-
Looked off to me.
-
We had been warned.
-
Not very happy with the way this is going. Keep giving the ball away and any chances created are spurned. One break away in the second half and we’re stuffed.
Not happy..?! We've been in their end for the whole match.
Still happy?
-
get fucking diaby and bailey off now
-
Game over?
-
Bollocks. When do we ever come back as well?
-
Have looked like getting caught like that for a while now.
-
looks offside to be fair
-
He's off
-

some "supporter" you are.
-
Just like Forest.
-
Looked offside
-
Bollocks. When do we ever come back as well?
Home game against Palace
-
Jesus Christ, we a bleeding idiots when we want to be.
Now we’re chasing the game against a team that we stuffed comfortably recently. Pathetic.
-
That was offside. Where were the camera angles?!?
-
The game plan isn't working. Change it please.
-
Are we allowed to shoot?
-
Why no lines ?
-
Lines drawn and it was patently off.
-
We just look a bit casual.
-
He was clearly off, when the lines showed
-
Ref is corrupt.
-
Even with the lines he looked off.
-
That was offside.
How can VAR give that ?
-
Sorry, but fuck the lines. We need to look like scoring a goal against limited teams that sit like this. It's a problem.
-
This is going to be tough now as they will air deep. Need a goal as soon as
-
Two really inept performances against inferior opponents back to back. Piss poor in the final third. We’ve gone from scoring for fun to not knowing how to shoot.
-
Diaby has been shit
-
Can someone in the Doug Ellis go and rip the mic of this fucking commentator?
-
This is fucking shite now.
-
All over the place now.
-
FFS could've been two there.
-
More sodding warnings. Come on!!!
-
Diaby has been shit
Again
-
The trouble is I know we can't play the same players every game, but when we bring others in, it's obvious why they are not first choice.
-
bailey falls over - get him off ffs
-
Diaby has been shit
Again
Go away.
-
Diaby needs to play closer to Watkins, more centrally.
-
The game plan isn't working. Change it please.
Agree. Dont wait another 10 mins.
-
Diaby needs to be more involved.
We are too slow building up.
We need Cash on the pitch.
-
High line not doing us many favours again. Having said that, it looked offside to me but, that’s always the risk you take playing such a high line.
-
This has mutated into absolute garbage.
-
Since that header after 2 mins we've created smeg all for Watkins.
-
And again we let in another goal within the first 10 mins of the second half. Although in this case it is a continuation of the end of the first half, something needs to be done about that weakness.
-
Get Moreno on too
-
Oh Booby
-
was that a sitter ?
-
got to score that
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
gooalll
-
Diegooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
It's looking like we could play all night and not score. Again.
-
Undeserved but boom
-
Fucking hell Kamara.
-
Goooooaaaalllllll!!!!!!
-
Told you all we were playing well and to over react!
-
See what they can find to rule that one out!!
-
DIEGO!!!!!!!!
-
never a corner lol
-
It's looking like we could play all night and not score. Again.
Or score as you were typing :P
-
Get in!
Disallow that you ******.
-
A goal from a centre half.
-
Link to the goal if you please?
-
Get in!
Disallow that you ******.
x2
-
Get the ball. Bollocks to celebrating.
-
Question… how was that a corner???
-
See what they can find to rule that one out!!
The fact it was a goal kick haha. But shhh it's in our favour
-
Link to the goal if you please?
I'm sure PWS is on it.
-
created by Bailey ?
-
481 corners later and Austin is finally vindicated.
-
Hehe 8)
-
Undeserved but boom
Makes up for the VAR farce.
-
Great stuff, now go on and win it.
-
Mahahajahjahaa no way was that a corner. Ho ho ho.
-
Officials having a bit of a nightmare. That wasn’t a corner but their goal was offside
-
Diego
-
Their goal offside and that was never a corner.
Ref has both teams to score onncoupon?
-
I think the referee was fooled that nobody could ever do a finish as shite as Kamara’s was without it being a corner.
But I go back to this referee not being very good.
-
That’s a shocking decision for the corner, but get in!
-
Told you the ref was a prick.
-
Nearly makes up for the League Cup final.
-
We should go on to win this now
-
Officials having a bit of a nightmare. That wasn’t a corner but their goal was offside
Yep, shouldn't have bene a goal but it equals out with theirs being one that should've been chalked off.
-

Nice play from Kamara to do deliberately play it off their defender to win the corner rather than be selfish and score.

Thank you Mr Shin

Diaby is really ponderous tonight, needs toback himself and take the shot early a bit more.
-
This referee is wank.
-
I don't know if the BBC Text commentator is racist or just plain dumb, but he is always crediting Diaby with the corners.
The miss in the end isn't clostly because Diego Carlos heads in from Moussa Diaby's corner. Villa are level.
Aston Villa 0-0 AZ Alkmaar
The replay shows that the offside player was corner taker Moussa Diaby. He was still near the corner flag when Ollie Watkins' header was saved. Because it came back to him to cross in for Clement Lenglet, it was ruled out.
-
Christ this ref is truly awful

because he can't tell the difference between Diaby and Bailey.
-
The ref clearly has under 0.5 cards
-
I would imagine he thinks it’s the ‘they all look the same’ mantra which I very much doubt is the case.
-
They're probably just listening to the gonk on BT who's been mixing them up all night.
-
Sounds like Paul Dempsey. Ex sky stalwart.
-
Tactical fouling now.Come on ref,get a grip
-
Dirty fuckers this lot.
-
200 fouls and no cards.
It's not just English officials who are trash.
-
changes please

That on Tielemans is 100% a yellow card, fucking pathetic ref.

This guy on TNT did it too , it's not racist FFS they just don't know villa very well
-
Watch us get a yellow for the next foul now
-
We’ve slowed it right down again. These are still there for the taking but we need to be a lot more positive.
-
This guy on TNT did it too , it's not racist FFS they just don't know villa very well
I agree, I was just pointing out why it could be seen as racist.

Makes the last 20 mins at VP more interesting.
Come on you lions………
-
Come on Villa. Win this bloody game.
-
gone crap again
-
They've literally got their names written on their shirts though. Shouldn't be difficult for a professional sports commentator or reporter to get it right.
-

Yeah fair enough
-
Ones like that are why the lino not flagging pisses me off, only needs Emi to get caught by their guy and we could be without our first choice keeper because a clear offside wasn't flagged immediately.
-
Come on Villa!!!
-
Speed it up Villa, far too slow at the moment.
-
zaniolo winner please

3 subs on

Diaby poor tonight

we are villa . we can have who we want

I think we are missing JJ a lot

Good first impact by Zaniolo, straight at the keeper but much more direct than we've been so far.
-
I think we are missing JJ a lot
And Buendia and to some extent Mings. (especially in the other box for attacking corners).
-
Zaniolo worldie incoming
One day this will come true. One day. It might not be for us, but one day…
-
twice he havent looked good in the final third , this and forest
-
Just not enough intensity.
-
Think they need numbers , maybe names, on players shirts, to help the commentator tell who’s who.
-
Just not enough intensity.
Nope. Subs haven't changed anything so far. We're missing something in the squad
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OLLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

If we draw this one we will probably have to win both of our remaining matches to top the group and avoid the playoffs

Didn't you mix up Christian Purslow with Peter Kenyon?
-

Oe we just win this one
-
OLLLIEEEE!!!!!!!!
-
I think part of the problem is that forest and this lot have let us have too much possession, they're happy to just sit and ask us to break them down (and then play on the counter-attack) and if we aren't quite on it going forward we look really flat.
-
Yesssssssssss!
-
I love Ollie!
-
OLLIEEEEE!!!
-
That's class.
-
great ball dougie thank fuck
-
What a pass that is, Dougie is so important to us.
-
Lovely chip/cool finish
-
Great goal. What a fucking ball from Luiz.
-
It goes to show how essential Dougie is to our team now
-
That's brilliant from Luiz and Watkins. Perfection.
-
What a pass and brilliant movement from Ollie
-
Lovely goal.Though I didn't celebrate just in case it was disallowed
-
Was it ever in doubt?? You bet your arse it was but, playing at home, we’re always in with a chance of turning games around
-

-
I still want Zaniolo to score.
-
That's better.

Get in, pleased for Ollie!!

On a bit of a tangent, what was the 3rd minute light show for Charlie Aitken like?
-
It would be nice to make it 3 now. But I’m greedy and have drunk one more glass of wine than I should have done.
-
I love you Ollie and you Duggie.
-
that was harder than the forest chance for Ollie
-
Zaniolo seems to add a lot more directness.
-
As soon as Luiz got the ball, Watkins headed to that spot. Something that Emery has drilled into both of them obviously.

Yup, we're still work in progress and nights like tonight show it. Credit to Dougie and Watkins, probably the last Villa man you want to be in that position with a header, they normally go straight at the keeper but he buried it in the corner. Cracking build up and goal in a poor performance.
Right now I'll take it but our success is based on dominating the midfield and for the second time in a week we failed and made it tough on ourselves.
-
This guy on TNT did it too , it's not racist FFS they just don't know villa very well

Yeah fair enough
If they said Digne instead of Lenglet would that be racist too?
