Diaby dropped Pheeewwww!
-
No Zaniolo at all.
-
Good team, exiting young bench. Come on Villa!
-
No Zaniolo at all.
He’s injured
-
Archer to come on at 68 mins. His goal to be at 72. I hope we're 4-0 up by then.
-
No Zaniolo at all.
He’s injured
Ahh. Missed that. Thanks.
-
I see Sheffield are playing their Trusty central defender.
-
Good team, exiting young bench. Come on Villa!
I hope not, we're low on numbers as it is...
-

Carlos or Lenglet?
-
Im assuming JJ is not fit enough for 99 minutes.
-
Sitting in a bar in Tenerife, 28° and suitably refreshed.
Come on Villa show the plastic mancs around me they need to be shit scared for next week.
Let's have our proper villa back and fuck the stripy twats
-

LOL, missing the c there I can see now.
-
Turn up and perform please Villa we need to win.
-
Strange selection. Unai obviously doesn’t trust Cash but this defensive formation is terrible. Has not worked before and not likely to today. I also think Ramsey should have been in for Tielemans
-

Not necessarily. That’s our best side bar Torres and Digne, as evidenced by the Man City and Arsenal games.
-
We have won games with this system.
-

Strange? That’s our best side bar Torres and Digne, and he can’t pick them.
-
I liked the line-up on Tuesday and we lost badly, so just win please Villa.

I dont like Konsa at full back and as much as i like Cash, he’s be too inconsistent, so can understand this. Also they are bound to be physical so can see why Carlos is back in. I dont think Ramsey looked anywhere near fit enough on Tuesday to start today. So all in all i can understand the selection
-
I’m amazed people are unsure about the selection. I thought we were all pining for it?
-
Glad to see Tielemans get a start. Had a feeling Cash would be dropped.
-
I liked the line-up on Tuesday and we lost badly, so just win please Villa.
Yep, I’ve been crying out for Cash to be back at right back and I was very confident Diably would find his form. What do I know. Fuck all it seems.
-
Our defence looks weak
-
Don’t concede from set pieces and don’t make stupid errors. And take the chances when they come!
-

Don’t leave players up when defending corners like we did on Tuesday. That was a stupid error.
-
It was an interesting tactic, as was the 3 players running from the edge of the box for our corners.
-
Based on those available it probably is strongest team currently.
-
Glad to see Tielemans get a start. Had a feeling Cash would be dropped.
After Tielemans not playing on Tuesday he should be fresh. His selection demonstrates the lack of options we have right now. He owes us a big performance.
-
Not a strange team selection at all in fact probably as strong as we can be, we just need to perform tonight.
-
Dear Villa
Please win.
Thanks! X

Hopefully he’ll be back in the position where all his best performances have come instead of on the left.

True. Based on Tuesday he can only improve.
-
SheffU have Sousa on the bench - isn't he ineligible?
Also, they have their reserve keeper on the bench - One.
-
The results earlier have gone for us. A game we simply have to win if we are serious about for competing for anything.
-
Bloody rugby on in the pub so data is going off and I'm busying myself elsewhere until MOTD...
-
If we fail to beat this lot for a second time we may as well give up.
-
Absolute must win game this, and we're overdue a good away performance.
-

Go to the local Rugby club and demand to watch the Villa.
-
Last time we won a top flight game away to this lot Dave Farrell, Fenton and Beinlich started for us!
-
Please win, really nervous about this, the Newcastle result was a right kick in the bollocks.
-
thats a yellow
-
How is that not a booking?
-
thats a yellow
should have been
-
Should have been 2 yellows in first three minutes.
-
Looks like we've got another shit ref then.
-
ref started shit here
-
Watkins playing with lead boots again.
-
Emi saves
-
Playing in our own half mostly. Again.
-
Another yellow surely. Ref is a homer for sure.
-
Painful this is
-
Konsa not bothering to chase back ?
-
Our high line has become very casual of late.

Better from Ollie and Bailey

If only watkins could control a ball
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Beautiful build up

Get in...we needed taht!
-

We are linking up thru the middle so much better today. Far more direct from 30-40 yds out.
-
Fantastic by the defender. I feel so sorry for him.
Even though he actually did nothing.
-
Great goal.
-
I'm behind but yesssss!!!!!!!!
-
Get in, nice one from McGinniesta.

Goodman is suck a fucking Knob.
Banging on about brilliant defending when the ball clearly hit the post from Watkins

Goodman is awful summeriser.
-
Get in Mr McGinn

Great pass from Luiz to Ollie.

Fantastic by the defender. I feel so sorry for him.
Even though he actually did nothing.

-
Just wish we could celebrate goals
I was thinking VAR check on watkins when it went in
-
Great through ball from Doug.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Brilliant goal - tremendous from Doug and Ollie.
-
Let's bury these fuckers now
-
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liquid football!
Andy Townsend sounds so sad. What is it with our ex players in the meeja? Get Gabby on co comms.
-
What a pass by Dougie, superb.
-
Get in, super move
-
Take Diaby out the way and Ollie gets the balls.
-
What a pass
-
We have to be ruthless and muller these fuckers now

Doug and Ollie look well up for this.

What a pass from Dougie.
Class finish as well

SJM goal

Ollie goal
https://twitter.com/starsballsvn/status/1753837675562311812
-
Typical Watkins goal. You'd bet the house on him scoring from there. Brilliant from Dougie.
-
If De Bruyne had played that pass we’d never hear the end of it. Superb from Doug.
-
12 more goals and we go second.
-
That was just such a beautiful goal. Missus came in and asked what all the shouting was about.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Come on me Villa babbies!
-
Agree with that comment, let's punish these mofos and get some confidence back.

Just wow

Brilliant by Tielemans to win that ball in the air.

12 more goals and we go second.
11 more goals and we go second
-
Yeees
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am only 5s behind you today, cause for celebration!
-
If only we had dropped Diaby sooner.
This is sublime.
-
Get Diaby on at half time - feels like a game to give him confidence
-
Another cracker
-
We should be looking to better the 8 Newcastle scored here
-
Lots of fans leaving after the 3rd
-
Another cracking goal. Gettt innn!!!!!
-
+3 GD over Spuds as it stands.
-
Some Sheffield fans want to beat the traffic, so are still in their seats.
-
Fuck sake, I missed each goal, going into the kitchen!
-
The commentators sound suicidal.
-
Fuck sake, I missed each goal, going into the kitchen!
Any chance you can go in a few more times?
-
We seem to be a lot keener to go direct today and it's paying dividends.
-
Sheffield Utd fans already booing
-
konsa nearly getting a fourth
-
+3 GD over Spuds as it stands.
Lovely stuff.
-
Konsa Beckenbauer almost scores
-
+3 GD over Spuds as it stands.
:D :D :D
Keep it up Villa!
-
Decent start, let's funeral these chip butty eating f*ckers.
-
Fuck sake, I missed each goal, going into the kitchen!
3bottles of beer ?
-
Come on eamonn - I can hear your kettle boiling from here
-
Seems like a bit of a reaction here. Looks like the performance we needed.
-
Ref is an utter wanker
-
this ref is shite
-
Nice to see us moving the ball quicker tonight. Makers all the difference. Three cracking goals.
-
Bailey gets rugby tackled an no foul?
-
Decent start, let's funeral these chip butty eating f*ckers.
love a chip butty now
-
Off the line denying a 4th
-
hows that not gone in
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Scorchio
-
this ref is shite
We've never won any of the previous 9 games of ours that he's ref'd.
-
Yes !
-
Youri makes it 4
-
Tielemans, that was a sitter
-
Special night this!
-
We are on fire!
-
I'm enjoying my life again
-
Decent start boys. Don’t fuck it up from here.
-
May the Fourth be with us!
(I'll get my coat)
-
Fournado!
-
Youri Tielemans take a bow.
-
Wallop.
-
4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nice Tielmans.
Both attempts.
-
Great stike, was about to say should have scored before.
-
What a fantastic strike from Youri. Sheffield United fans leaving the ground? WTF, where's your loyalty?
-
4-0 https://twitter.com/starsballsvn/status/1753841028455350653
-
We’ll win this. You just watch.
-
Rather enjoying this
-
Tielemans, that was a sitter
And he scores the hard one!
-
What a strike. All 4 have been good goals
-
Need another before half time.
-
Fouri Tielemans.
-
One these days we are going to give a team a right good hiding.
-
Chance of a 5th
-
Lovely finish also - would have been nicer if he finished the first one as that was a lovely routine.
Good goal though. Utd just don't know what to do there fucked.
-
Fucking belter, that one. I really enjoyed that.
-
6 more goals and we'll be above Arsenal too!
-
What a strike. All 4 have been good goals
They have - I'd say 2nd pick of them. I had a sex wee when Luiz played that ball
-
We’ll win this. You just watch.
We're Villa, don't forget. We might, hopefully win this if we're lucky.
-
Ezri Konsa is brilliant. This is what should have happened at Villa Park, had it not been for VAR.
-
Lol. Why couldn’t we have spread all these cgoals out over the last few weeks???
-
Lovely stuff this is the confidence booster we needed. Get Diaby on.
-
Bailey has become awesome.
-
Enjoying the payback for the hiding we took up there in the Championship - you've seen the Villa, now f**k off home !
-
We are just beelining to the goal.
-
this ref is shite
We've never won any of the previous 9 games of ours that he's ref'd.
cant see u losing 5 4 now
-
Still can't quite believe Bailey's transformation. He's turned into a proper world beater.
-
Lovely stuff this is the confidence booster we needed. Get Diaby on.
Get Diaby on.
Started early?

That’s the gap where we need to get to. One, two touch football, hardly any misplaced passes. The pr

I am very nervous.

Away end for the 3rd
https://twitter.com/johntownley11/status/1753839557882126812
The 3rd went in and never seen so many fans heading for bar so early
-
I always said this season we'll make a record win.
How many is this I think it could be 9 goals
Watkins will be seeking a hatrick!
This is wonderful !
-
Away end for the 3rd
https://twitter.com/johntownley11/status/1753839557882126812
Be more in there than the rest of the ground soon.
-
Bailey is a master. Just hope that Diaby can find his true form and Buendia will come back to do more damage.
-
It would be good to get a fifth before HT, make it safe.
-
Some ugly scenes in the home stands as stewards force fans to carry on watching
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GFbmS3cXwAADWp3?format=jpg&name=small)
-
Kamara is having a great game, ticking over nicely.
-
I am very nervous.
Need to not concede within 5mins of the restart like we normally do. The Newcastle v Luton and Wolves v ManU games this week should be a warning that bonkers things happen in games
-
Sky sound absolutely heartbroken
-
Statement performance this
-
Ive been moaning about us not shooting enough , seems Emery has told them to shoot more . Even Luis tried one for 150 yards
-
I would love a decent record away win. Not sure what we’d need to beat though?
-

PL will be the 6-0 at Derby I think

This is true, he was actually behind the Villa goal as he shot.

6 would be good. Another before half time would be superb though.

Ha!!
-
Bailey is next level.
-
Bailey had developed into something magnificent.
-
Tielemans is prime Zidane in this kit
-
Need to carry on to end of the game in top gear. Massive chance to make up goal diff and put distance between us and spurs.
-
Serious question as I haven’t been following the threads all week, but surely dropping Bailey against Newcastle must be one of Emery’s very few mistakes. Was he carrying a slight knock? Or was it a tactical cock up on a balance of probability?
-
Bailey had developed into something magnificent.
They can't handle him in this sort of form.
-
We haven’t scored in a while. Emery out.
-
Archer on 2nd half. Hat trick.
-
Groans from the Sheffield fans as they have to suffer four extra minutes.
-
Bailey is a £100 million player at the moment
different gravy
-

I'm sure I read that it was a knock. If not, it was a disaster of a decision.
-
Good opportunity to get a few off the bench here and give them a chance to get some confidence. Could get a look at Rogers as well.

Didn't someone earlier on the thread say that he had a slight back injury.

I would like to think that it was a knock - but the vast improvement in the 2nd half against Newcastle and how he’s been tonight goes to show that he is just as priceless to this team as Emi or Dougie is.
-
would be perfect to see Rogers on and bag a goal
-
Careless Carlos
-
Careless Carlos
Your favourite cover band playing hits from the 1980s
-
An acceptable half I suppose, need to step it up in the second though.
-
I hope this was our bad half
-
Fantastic 30 mins to break them.
It’s now a training game.
I’ll lay £50 now it finishes 4-0 with us just pissing about for 45 mins in second half and boring us to fuck. 😂
-
would be perfect to see Rogers on and bag a goal
It would justify many people’s idea that he’s a Championship player if he scored against what is arguably a Championship team.
-
We'd have scored more but were afraid it would be considered disrespectful to a Premier League manager.
-
I hope we see Kesler, Tim and Rogers pretty early in the 2nd half and then Ramsey and Diaby at some point as well.
-
Well, we’ve been yammering on about the lack of movement, decisive passes and breaking through low-block teams.. seems Emery noticed too, imagine that.
-
Gonna have to get Bailey into my Fantasy Football team. Not many in better form than him.
-

That sounds like the Villa we have all come to love! UTV
-
Groans from the Sheffield fans as they have to suffer four extra minutes.
Really reminding me of our 2015/16...
-
Think we need another goal.
-
Gonna have to get Bailey into my Fantasy Football team. Not many in better form than him.
I've had him in for a while now. Made Watkins my captain for today as well, which is working out well.
-
I hope we see Kesler, Tim and Rogers pretty early in the 2nd half and then Ramsey and Diaby at some point as well.
Same. I'd like to give Diaby a chance to run at these and get a few for some confidence, and is the perfect game to get Rogers integrated too.
-
As easy as it should be
-
Goal difference could be vital at the end of the season, we should be looking to stick 10 past these clowns.
-

This. Deffo. Save a few for Wednesday and give a run out to a few others.
In other news I've been to six away games and the only win was Middlesbrough. Seen us score 3 goals. Anyone got a spare for Fulham ?!!
-
It's always there, just goes missing sometimes.
I'd keep up the intensity for a good part of the second half, leave the subs rather late. We need to build that damaged confidence right back up ahead of two big home games.
-
We'll lose 5-4.
-
Now that's a bit more like it
-
Goal difference could be vital at the end of the season, we should be looking to stick 10 past these clowns.
My thoughts as well. Don't ease off and keep going. We need to catch up to the Arse, City and Liverpool figures and pull as far away from Spurs as possible.
-
Think we need another goal.
We will need at least one if not two to make this safe.
-
Get Diaby and Tim on - both could have an important second half of the season and we want the firing.
-
Why isn't the Chelsea pre match thread up yet ? I thought these days they were pretty well started once the previous match is over.
-
Gonna have to get Bailey into my Fantasy Football team. Not many in better form than him.
I've had him in for a while now. Made Watkins my captain for today as well, which is working out well.
Yep same here while everyone in my mini league seems to have captained Haaland. I also have Haaland but I'm actually hoping he does fuck all now.
-
This is ace.
I love Leon Bailey.
-
What's the final score predictions then ?
I'll go with 9.
-
Feb 2022 - We should bring Watkins off as he can’t trap a ball and doesn’t look like scoring.
Feb 2024 - We should bring Watkins off as we need to think of our FA Cup run and protect him for the Champions League qualification run in.
-
What's the final score predictions then ?
I'll go with 9.
6, I think we'll make some changes and play it as a bit of an exhibition from here.
-
Push on to 9.
-
It's rare to have a game in the PL where the only point of the second half is to see how many more you can score, we need to make the most of it.
-
I know it never happens but I wish we'd go just as hard in the second to try and get the goal difference up.
4-1 FT
-

I'll go with 9.
6, I think we'll make some changes and play it as a bit of an exhibition from here.
Douglas Luiz is such a joy. It all comes so easy to him. He, bailey and Tielemans will play a bit of exhibition.
Ramsey and Diaby and Rodgers would be hungry for goals and thrive in this but let's give it 55 mins to 65 mins before some changes
-
What's the final score predictions then ?
I'll go with 9.
5-1
-
When will the media stop misrepresenting the fans and say they are leaving? Most are probably going for a pie, pint, piss and massive moan on the concourse. I know I would.
-
It's rare to have a game in the PL where the only point of the second half is to see how many more you can score, we need to make the most of it.
How many ?
Another 3 or 4 ?
I be disappointed if we didn't get more goals!
-
Hope that was our bad half
-
Anything less than scoring 2 more would be disappointing.
-
JJ on
-
Group of lads in my local (Notts) have been cheering everything Villa all half, I assumed because they were Forest and want Sheffield to lose.
Turns out they had an accumulator on specific players with shots on target, Bailey to score and Sheffield to get the first yellow card in the first half - won £2.5k/£500 each. The place went nuts at the yellow card which was the final piece to come in.
-
Doug off, JJ on.
-
Douglas Louise pass foe Ollie was absolute class.
-
Welcome back Cam.
-
Doug off, JJ on.
Sensible. Keep him fresh.
-
Jacob on.
-
Diaby might get a chance to fill his boots in the second half.
-
1 5 finish
-
Is it just me but that last 15 minutes really p*ssed me off. Goal difference is as good as a bonus point.
Brilliant first 30 minutes though.
-
I’d like to see Rogers get a few minutes against these guys.
And I think it might do Diaby the world of good too. But play alongside Bailey, as per the old days to try and recreate the form he’s capable of
-
What do people make of that McGinn free kick routine where it gets played to him he turns and lashes it.
Now we saw that last week and didn't work and tried again tonight but must be thundering then in training.
-
4-0 https://twitter.com/starsballsvn/status/1753841028455350653
Keep it up Peter - I'm sitting on a ship on my way to Qatar and am really appreciating these links.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
This is reminding me of what always seemed to happen to us a few years ago to us at home against Man Utd , Man City or Liverpool
-
morennnnooooooooooooooo
-
5 goals, 5 different scorers. Nice.
-
Another brilliant finish. Moreno, lovely goal, hard pressing by all of them.
-
Is Watkins on Pens with Dougie off?
-
Fivenado!
-
4 to go and Watkins for a hat trick ?
-
5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Newcastle scored 8 on this ground in September so no reason why we can't do the same.
We need to be ruthless here given Spurs went above us on GD in the week so pulling well clear of them in that category would be brilliant.
Still a chance we could go above Arsenal if they lose by a couple to Liverpool aswell....
-
Is it just me but that last 15 minutes really p*ssed me off. Goal difference is as good as a bonus point.
Brilliant first 30 minutes though.
4-0 up after 45 - 99.9% of fans would take that all day long.
-
Another belter
-
5-0 https://twitter.com/FootColic/status/1753850430809932280
-
I really like Mason Holgate.
-
Lovely technique from Alex and another assist for Ollie. Great stuff.
-
We want 6!
-
Jesus these are bad
-
Groans from the Sheffield fans as they have to suffer four extra minutes.
Really reminding me of our 2015/16...
These guys are not good enough and probably never will be. Ours in 15/16 were at one point or thereafter
-
Jesus these are bad
same team we played at home
-
5-0 https://twitter.com/FootColic/status/1753850430809932280
Very nice!
-
Think we need another goal.
There you go.
-
We'll lose 5-4.
No we won't, Leeg gets is wrong again. ;)
-
I might be allowed back on match thread duty.
-
Sarky cheering for a shot by their fans. Did they honestly expect this was going to be easy? The whole season was going to be a piece of piss?

Demanding manger! demanding more !
Sheffield Utd subs championship players off championship players on.
They are just so poor.
You know you've got prblms when you get Holgate as your main defensive signing in window.
-
1 goal 2 assists for Ollie Watkins
-
This goes to 11.
-
Jesus these are bad
same team we played at home
Thing is, they are playing TOTALLY differently. Not sat in like they did at Christmas, nor are they pressing.
Not sure if they're trying to be a bit more on the front foot as they are at home, but they should've gone to 10 men behind the ball after the first goal
-
Robinson an awful player.
-
All the worriers must be having a relaxed evening 😂
-
Sheff Utd 0-5 Aston Villa
Ollie Watkins is the first player to register double figures for both goals (11) and assists (10) in the Premier League this season.

Great time to give Rogers a half hour run out I think.
Save Ollie and Bailey for the next two.
-
1 goal 2 assists for Ollie Watkins
Should have been 3 assists or 2 goals but for the post getting in the way for the latter, and not counting for the former.
-
1 goal 2 assists for Ollie Watkins
A hat trick of assists perhaps ?
He was unlucky when hit post for the first.
Been too good for them and El Mastero mastered a plan for him tonight. Works a dream.

I'm on taxi duty for the missus and 5 Live has decided to talk rugby....

Would also like to see Tim and Kesler get some minutes.

No, bollocks to that - 6 more and we'll be in 2nd place.

5-0 https://twitter.com/FootColic/status/1753850430809932280
Very nice!
Good technique by Moreno
-
We'll lose 5-4.
No we won't, Leeg gets is wrong again. ;)
Story of my life. 1-8 to us. Cam with a consolation goal.
-
VAR check for a Villa penalty, and not given
-
Oh no. Get up Ezri. Don't want him injured. never a penalty!!
-
Please not a bad one for Ezri.
-
Cash looks like he'll be on for Konsa
-
He looks ok. Bumped his knee on the post.
-
I'd prefer it to be Kesler than Cash, we don't need an experienced option to come on here.
-
Hope that’s just the lost collision that’s caused that knock
-
Ezri coming off. Hopefully just a precaution but looked a nasty whack on the post.
-
Good to see Diaby coming on, no pressure on him whatsover.
-
Diaby on for Bailey
-
FFS. I hope that's just a bruise.
That's the thing with these games where you steamroll the opposition. Fate tries to fuck you with injuries from nowhere.
-
Good subs, don't risk Ezri.
Get Rogers on next!!
-
Ezri looks disappointed to be going off despite just colliding with post.
-
Glad Bailey is going off, keep him fit. Not worth getting lumped.
-
Hopefully Diaby can gain some confidence here.
-
I hope the number of subs don't stop us from playing this sort of quality football.
-
I’d like to see Diaby get on the scoresheet now
-
Damn it, that Bailey sub was a minute too soon, it's fucked me out of some points in the fantasy league.
-
Diaby needs to show some intent
-
Ivory Coast on their way out have just equalised in the last minute
-
Come on Villa, i'm getting bored with this not scoring shite ffs
-
Archer coming on.
-
Dirty twat
-
Ivory Coast on their way out have just equalised in the last minute
Yay, COYBIGWAO.
-
Bogle should get second yellow for that.
-
Graham Potter in the crowd, obviously there in case we lost and rage sacked Emery.
-
So when Emery was giving cash that long pep talk as he was coming on, was he saying ‘every time you get the ball, you or Diaby pass it back to our centre half’s ‘
-

It is strange that Diaby hasn’t advanced the ball forward a single time, yet.
-
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
Cash and Diaby on for Konsa and Bailey = our teams performance level drops
-

To be fair I think most of them are conserving energy at this point...
-
Tim on for SJM
-
Tim coming on
-
Playing walking football now, need to up it. A goal or 2 for Diaby would be massive for him.
-
Tim getting a 20 minute run out, good.
-
this is when a Liverpool carry on and get 8 we need to be like Liverpool
-
From the BBC: Villa have only had two shots since Youri Tielemans made it 4-0 in the 30th minute.
-
Very unfortunate there for Diaby
-
Diaby close
-
Decent from Diaby
-
More of that Moussa!
-
That was great by Moussa.
-
Liverpool spared us the season we got relegated. it could have been double figures that afternoon.
-
That was our first shot since the 5th goal, 25 mins ago. Piss poor.
-
We have only had
two three shots since the 4th goal in the 30th minute. And one of them was a goal. Throwing away the opportunity to up the GD to closer to our main rivals and further from the ones below us is what we have done a few times this season.
-
I lost count a bit, how many subs do we have left? Any?

I don’t think the players are thinking about GD to our opponents while they are winning 5-0 with 15 games to go.

??????? I think we've done a pretty good job of making up some GD today and are avoiding getting anyone crocked!
-
poor from Youri should have put Diany in for a goal
-
Yes, I know it’s 5-0, but you don’t feel like we have a ruthless, killer streak in us.
We are happy to tippy tap the game out, instead of wiping the floor with these, which we could and should.
And I bet Sheff U nick a goal
-
Made a right mess of that.
-
How the fuck did we keep that out
-
Wow lol
-

Are you actually being serious or parodying

Why fuck ourselves when we're winning at a canter and blown away Spuds GD?

Garbage! Emery out.
-
Let’s not get too greedy here going for more goals and then concede one or two. I want us to carry on playing the way we have with as much discipline and structure and taking chances as they arise. It’s been bloody brilliant. And no injuries please.
-
Diaby, fucking shit.
Miles of green grass in front of him, which should be meat and drink, and he gives it way to the weakest challenge
-
Diaby, fucking shit.

Be happy.Please.
-
The fact we'll be 4th and not 2nd tonight shows the potential value of goal difference.
-
Diaby doesn't seem to have any awareness of who's around him. Get your head up, son!
-
Diaby, fucking shit.

Would be nice to see Rogers get a little run out at some point.

Yes, that is exactly what I said. Well done for picking that up.

Rogers on for JT

Morgan on for Youri

I just think saying we're lacking a ruthless streak when we utterly destroyed a team with 3 goals in 8 minutes, essentially winning the game after 20 on the clock, is absolutely ludicrous.
-
Rogers on for JT
John Terry?
-
Was morgan rogers the one that Man City offered us as part of the deal for Grealish?

I don’t think the players are thinking about GD to our opponents while they are winning 5-0 with 15 games to go.
Which is why I wasn't getting excited about potentially "winning the league" because the winning teams have that mentality to extend advantages if they have the opportunity.

We are winning 5-0. Away from home. How much more of a ruthless streak do you want?

Jesus wept mate. An AI bot I assume
-
Rogers misses, waste of money
-
should have scored
-
I know a Balaban when I see one (or I would if I’d ever actually seen one)
-
He’s not ruthless enough.
-
It's a bit of a shame that we didn't gi ve Kesler some minutes instead of bringing Cash on but otherwise this has been pretty much the perfect game.
Diaby is trying a bit too hard to do something spectacular but these are exactly the circumstances where he should do that because there's no pressure on.
God experience for Tim as well because these aren't great but it's still a game agianst some experienced top flight players.

I despair. Fortunately they're 13 points behind us now so those extra three goals they got 4 months ago probably won't matter too much.
Have you enjoyed this game at all?
-
I am not nervous anymore, I think we will not concede 5 now so 3 points in the bag.
-
Well done Longlegs
-
Shame that was into row Z, could've been the perfect evening.

Well that's put the mockers on it!!

Exactly, plus we've 2 big games against Chelski and Yanited this week. Still that's not good enough for some, it seems.
-
The big difference I see it is that Bailey tries to make the game and Diaby waits for the game to open up.

1-5

Annoying
-
I knew it
-
Fuck off
-
Kamara, has not been great lately.
-
1-5
Booo!
-
Oh dear
-
This is going to be offside I think
-
It's possible to thoroughly enjoy today and also think that come the end of the season taking our foot off the gas may cost us a place, potentially CL or what round we enter. Considering there's currently only 2 points between 2nd and 5th it's hardly out there thinking to wonder consider goal difference.
-
Have to say that's deserved. We've been poor for the last 20 minutes
-
That will not please SUE at all.
-
Christ almighty just get on with it

Yep
-
That’s a really poor goal to concede if we have.
-
Why don't the Prem automated offsides??? This takes ages.
-
Double post
-
There is a line already ov the pitch, how can they be so slow
-
Offside
-
Goal disallowed, still 0-5.
-
Yes offside important to keep a clean sheet.
-
This is going to be offside I think
That's offside, as close as the one we had disallowed the other day.
-
I have seen many closer calls than that. Surely that won’t stand?
-
That's offside. I knew it.
-
Phew…..thank you VAR when we didn’t need you

Precisely. That’s the point I was trying to make.
These are possibly the worst team to grace the PL. we were 5 up after 47 mins.
We could quite possibly or probably have got another 2 or 3 with a ruthless streak in us.

Camera on Wilder. He can actually fuck off though after the decisions that went against us at VP. He weren’t crying like a babby then

How long did that VAR check take? 3 mins?

Id take a draw now

Come on Villa, hold out for at least a point.

Might be useful for us next season.

That'll do Villa, that'll do.

Diaby still not right

Nope

You can do the honours TV.

Excellent response following mid-week.
-
3 points, 5 goals, clean sheet.
Great we. To all.
-
Diaby still not right
Or Ramsey. Still, we lost a bit of fluidity with all the changes.
-
That'll do very nicely.
Superb performance all round and thank VAR for a clean sheet. Five excellent goals, bring on Chelsea then the red filth.
-
Good work lads.
-
I think I've just woken my shipmates up by laughing at the offside decision.
Hello, sailor.
-
Brilliant return to form for the Villa. Great result!
-
Great performance. First half was spectacular. Second, well managed. Hope Konsa is ok
-
That Archer looks decent.
Might be useful for us next season.
I still think he has a part to play with us
