Mings and konsa finally!! Torres dropped
Been waiting for this.

Tyrone starts so 2 changes
-
Christ I’m all over the shop. Someone else start one.
-
Pretty much what I thought he’d do aside from putting Mings in. Cmon Villa, we’re due a performance here.

Same here. Just win.
-
Christ I’m all over the shop. Someone else start one.
Nothing wrong with a bit of chaos
-
I'm liking that team, solid with leaders across the pitch. Just need Watkins not to shoot straight at the keeper and we're laughing.
3-0 Villa
-
Glad to have Mings in there. Hopefully he'll give us a bit more solidity.
-
Emi starts.

Glad to have Mings in there. Hopefully he'll give us a bit more solidity.
We've been missing someone who can be a shouty bastard on the team
-
I'm a bit more confident now Mings is starting, hope he seizes the opportunity with both hands.
It'll make a nice change from the ball. Here all week.
-
Hopefully that's the end of the Philogen experiment.
Good to see Mings back. Needs a big performance tonight. 12th in the league is bad enough but we could be even lower.
Please just win!
-
Delighted to see Mings back and Martinez starting. Fingers crossed it goes well for Mings. Not sure at all about Rogers starting again after his recent performances or Tielemans again at 6.
-
Rogers sporting a new look
https://x.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1864389458872902105?t=9AoLQpM_ePAsaeVCufi2wg&s=19
-
I want McGinn alongside Kamara and Tielemans, Rogers and Bailey as a three in front of them.
-
Martinez starting, Mings back, here we go, Villa to win, earn it boys.
-

I know what you mean about Rogers, but Emery is seeing him every day so I trust him to call it. Confidence is massive in sport, and it can turn in a second. And yes, great to see Mings back in the 1st team for a PL game, I hope he's physically and mentally ready.
-
Signals a change in tactics to me. Going long stretching the play.
-
On the train to the ground now: soaked through already! :'(
Glad to see Tyrone's starting: just hope he'll be here, there and every fucking where!
Hope Morgan's new blond hairdo won't make him dumb...
Emi! Yay!
-
Great to see Tyrone start, the old CD partnership back, going for a Villa win.
-
Eni Aluko going on about what an important partnership Konsa and Mings was last season. Fucking hell, they actually pay her for this?
-
EMI the Kit Kat starts then?
-
thought the drama queens was sayng martinez was out for 8 weeks .
anyway great to see him there and mings to be fair. Maatsen must be a bit pissed off never getting a start and how lucky rogers and mcginn are , they was rubbish last game. To be honest ollie and bailey havent done alot to be a starter but the squad isnt as good as a few mths ago.
5 0 villa
-
Eni Aluko going on about what an important partnership Konsa and Mings was last season. Fucking hell, they actually pay her for this?
The general standard of punditry is so shit it’s unbelievable. Greggggg Evans, actual Villa correspondent for the Athletic until recently, was on about how we’re missing Ramsey from last season on a pod I listened to yesterday. Dan Bardell (who?) corrected him and he sort of styled it out.
Another podcaster said we should sign Semedo from Bournemouth, but at least he’s not getting paid .
-
Yes, Unai! Been dying to see that backline with Kamara in front of it.
Proof in the pudding now.
-
Tyrone Mings, my Lord
-
Interesting re Emi.
There's clearly a risk there.
But, on balance, perhaps not as much of a risk as a keeper with footwork and handling as good as this:

(https://ibb.co/QjWKBFg)
-
The old band, reunited. Let's fuck these up tonight and get back on track.
-
Thought he might leave Mings' reintroduction to the (in theory) less challenging Soton game.
But Torres can have no complaints.
-
Love the back 4, would've played little Emi in place of Rogers' come on Villa boyz
-

Honestly she is the worst

How dare you!
-
Torres dropped shows no one is immune from Unai’s wrath
Well apart from Watkins obviously

**YEAH**

Good luck Tyrone.

Shows you how crap Olsen is. He would rather play a bloke with a broken hand.

I think unai would rather play a octopus in goal than olsen

Into these ****** Villa

I can’t remember whether I had to turn my score notifications off last time it was on Amazon because of a streaming delay.

-
Commentator had to say Brentford are without an away win……
-
Imagine Ben Mee will get a noisy reception if he comes on.
-
I can’t remember whether I had to turn my score notifications off last time it was on Amazon because of a streaming delay.
I do every game now
-
That creep mees on bench
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?
-
I can’t remember whether I had to turn my score notifications off last time it was on Amazon because of a streaming delay.
I do every game now
For me Amazon is about 10 Seconds behind the alert app I have.
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?
I can think of 'something else'.
-
some players you watch for the first 5 minutes and coupe of touches and you know already what kind of game they are going to have.
-
Need a good win tonight to kick on.
-
Empty seats my lord.
-
That's a bit naughty from Janelt, I reckon that gets a yellow if it wasn't so early.
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?
I can think of 'something else'.
Well, yes! That's why I'm not there tonight
-
Kamara needed to wake up there
-

I can have a delay from the living room to the kitchen tv one. so dont want my dad messaging from eastbourne saying best hatick Ive ever seen by Mings before I do.
-

I can think of 'something else'.
Well, yes! That's why I'm not there tonight
Me too...
-
brentford with a good chance already.
-
That was careless.
-
rogers first touch out of play . come on son
-
So poor from youri there
-
They’ve got the measure on us at the moment, pulling us all over the place. Unai needs to tweak it quick
-
Emery furious at that
-
youri losing possession
-
Tielemans for god sake be more decisive.
-
Kamara needs a short back and sides
-
Kamara and Tielemans look about as firm and unyielding as a cooked beetroot.
-
Played Konsa
-
A bit better going forward then.
-
Only we can have an attacking throw-in and be sprinting back towards our own goal five seconds later.
-
Looking better than last few games so far
-
That was well worked, better.
-
when is he going to lamp one
-
Great pass from Mings then to start that attack.
-
How the fucks that a foul agajnst leon ??
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?
I can think of 'something else'.
Well, yes! That's why I'm not there tonight
Me too...
IACGMOOH?
-
Ref is a little whistle happy
-
Looking decent. Stating the obvious given how shit we've been lately, but the first goal is massive.
-
This ref is a ****** and these commentators are woeful
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?
I can think of 'something else'.
Well, yes! That's why I'm not there tonight
Me too...
IACGMOOH?
Bless you
-
Digne playing high up
-
This ref is a ****** and these commentators are woeful
Yeah,never knew Thomas Frank was "charismatic "
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?

Well, yes! That's why I'm not there tonight

IACGMOOH?

-
Played Cash
-
Cash playing well. We look fairly composed at the moment.
-
.
-
Lewis Collins looking very ‘Professional’
-
Bailey looking sharper
-
Been saying it for weeks, McGinn is totally ineffective at the moment. I don't think he knows what he is supposed to be doing, either.
-
Too casual by far. Need to up the gears. Too many think their place is guaranteed.
-
Rogers!!!!!
-
What a fucking goalllll
-
What
A
Goal
-
MORGANNNNN!!!!!!!!
-
gooallllllllllllllllllllll
-
Get the fuck in, he and we needed that.
-
Great goal
-
What a hit Morgan!
-
Get innnnn
-
Rogers class goal!
-
Yessssssssss!!!!
Fucking pick that out, marvellous goal!
-
great goal thou my river got stuck mid air lol
-
kamara was brilliant
-
Fuck yeah!!!! Lovely stuff
-
kamara was brilliant
👏👏👏
-
Lovely goal and well desrved we’ve started we’ll
-
Gooool! Started by a filthy Kamara turn. Gorgeous
-
Great finish!
-
Really good from Kamara and Rogers, but good awareness from Ollie too.
-
Kamara absolute class to start that move.
-
The first time in several games that one of our midfielders have been allowed to turn leads to a goal.
-
Unlucky leon!!
So much better
-
well hes made up for the start .. fair play
-
Kamara with a motm performance already tonight. He's bossing the midfield.
Oooh nearly two.
-
Unlucky Leon that’s more like it, drive at them.
-
Beautiful!!
-
kamara was brilliant
Great goal, we shouldn't understate the brilliance of that turn by Kamara
-
Almost 2 . Much better
-
Kamara there made it look so easy. Just a brilliant player.
-
This is great, we're all over them.
-
Much better.
-
Lovely goal.
-
Have to say, a brilliant defensive header from Mings at the start of the move the goal. Not only distance, but picking out Youri in the midfield, allowing him time to start the move. Very good indeed.
-
Yesssss, great stuff Morgz_10.
-
One goal won't be enough. Keep driving, kill the game.
-
Penalty!
-
Pen!!!!
-
Pen
-
Lovely ball by Bailey to Ollie.
-
Kamara needs a short back and sides
Why?
-
Im miles behind but pen who takes it
-
Well done Leon and Ollie don’t let Youri take it.
-
Fuck off var
Checking for a foul before hand
-
Var is fucking shit get on with it
-
Great goal! (My internet is running slower than our defence has in recent weeks.)
-
That's a fucking red! No attempt to play the ball.
-
Great goal! (My internet is running slower than our defence has in recent weeks.)
I'm still waiting for kick-off.
-
Happy to get it but that doesn’t look a pen to me
-
should be a red
-
Great goal! (My internet is running slower than our defence has in recent weeks.)
I'm still waiting for kick-off.
Spoiler your prediction is wrong!
-
and that's 2, watkins pen.
-
Looks like Ollie scuffed it.
-
Get the fuck in !!
Yesssssssss
-
2-0
-
Back of the net
-
Glad we’re two up but not sure Ollie the man for penalties!
-
Happy to get it but that doesn’t look a pen to me
Behave
-
Phew, get in
-
Get in!
-
2 nil Way to go.
-
YESSSS!!!
Just enough to get past the keeper.
-
Get in
-
bloody lora no power in that neither
-
Shit penalty, but Ollie needed that
-
Django is unchained was clear pen
-
Happy to get it but that doesn’t look a pen to me
It's the sort of thing that doesn't get given as often as it should but there's a clear pull on his arm as he's trying to take the shot.
-
Funny what a proven solid defence does.
Go on Villa.
-
Fuck that was close! But get the fuck in!
-
Thought leon would take as he needs a goal
-
Hard and low to the corner, always hard to stop
-
Pinnock should have gone for that
-
Keep up he pressure! Well done, lads!
-
Phew, crap pen but just about good enough to sneak in. This is miles better.
-
Ooof awful penalty but got away with it
-
Brentford are weak at the back so keep at them
-
keep it up villa
-
Leon looking a lot more incisive.
-
As we know, 2-0 up won't cut it against this lot. Need moar!
-
Am i going crazy but this formation is like when we were playing our best last year?
More aggression ans getting ball forwrad quicker
-
Great stuff....any little rivers around?
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.
-
leon shoud have passed to olie then
-
Leon release the ball quicker you div.
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.
Come on man
-
What a shit corner routine
-
Thank you God. Please dont mess it up guys. Cant be there because i'm ill but i'm there in spirit.
-
3
-
3-0the perfect score to lose from.
Ftfy
-
Great stuff....any little rivers around?
Nothing remotely decent. Been trying to watch on various links for the last 30 mins and everything is either broken, massively delayed and/or stops every 3 seconds.
-
Yssssssss cash !!!!
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.
Come on man
I've seen too much to be comfortable
Edit - never mind. We're back!
-
This is a bit more like it!
-
MATTTYYYYYY!!!!!!
WE'RE BACK!
-
Great work from McGinn
-
Beautiful goal
-
Well played SJM!
-
Electric. Well done SJM
-
Flying!
-
Oh my goodness.
-
Checked by VAR, all fine
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.
Or rip the sack off em...
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.
Come on man
I've seen too much to be comfortable
Keep it up. It’s worked as we scored. But VAR will probably fuck us
-
We’ve gone from one of the coolest pen takers ever in Anwar, to Doug who was pretty damn good to shitting it every time we take one. Thank goodness that went in.
-
Get in, we’re rampant! It’s amazing what a chance going in does.
-
Can see confidence gradually coming back
-
Fucking fantastic dont let them back jn now
-
Get in! Let's keep going!
Moar!
-
Need to focus here now
-
What's interesting, for me, is that the first 20minutes here wasn't all that different to how we've played 3-4 times in this run. The difference was that when we got a sniff of a chance Rogers buried it and suddenly we look every bit the top 4 team we should be.
-
YES MATTY!
-
Ahhhh morgan. Ball could have been better
-
I mean this is what we needed a team that play right into our hands but we will take it.
-
Haha this is an absolute pasting so far. Marvelous.
-
It's almost as if we have Arron Danks on the sideline
-
Great play McGinn
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
Shhhhhh
-
I fancy us for a point here.
-
Looked off, and interfering, to me. Ah well!
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
Thats definitely offside tbh but ill take it all the shityy decisions we have had against us
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
Yeah, that was the same as the Archer one. But fuck it, we score when we want.
-
Someone mentioned 3-3, but keep it quiet
-
Fcuk off Twattenberg.
-

Agreed, confidence is such a mysterious thing.
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
I thought so…oh well!
-
So far, Unai nearly as good as Danks! ;)
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.
Come on man
I've seen too much to be comfortable
Keep it up. It’s worked as we scored. But VAR will probably fuck us
I was worried. Clattenburg thinks it should have been disallowed through Ollie interfering with play. I'm not convinced he was even offside though. Looked level
-
Emery looks totally pissed off. Lolz.
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
It's a good example of how subjective "interfering with play" is. The officials have clearly decided that him being behind the defender who clears it isn't interfering so it stands, looks contentious though.
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
I thought so…oh well!
Well he didn’t touch the ball so it’s down to the ref to decide if he was interfering
-
Danks only had a 50 percent win ratio.
-
2-0, the perfect score to lose from.

Arm played him on.
-
Unai looking like a disappointed Alan Partridge on the bench there!
-
What a ball by youri. Pure filth
-
I know that Leon sometimes goes down to easy, but referees never give him anything
-
I've had to mute this commentary
-
Err... isn't Watkins definitely offside? I mean we've earned the luck, I don't care, but you know.
I thought so…oh well!
Well he didn’t touch the ball so it’s down to the ref to decide if he was interfering
But his presence made the defender touch it
-
Murderlising them now. Tielemans playing some exquisite passes.
-
Need to carry this on in 2nd half
-
His presence is also arguably why the keeper isn't coming for it etc etc.
It's in the past now, and the scoreline doesn't flatter us, so who cares really, though were I a Brentfordian I'd be mildly miffed.
-
What a header by mings
-
Great header Tyrone
-
Please keep a clean sheet for half time villa
-
Fucking partridge level commentating
-
Half time
-
Mings has been immense
-
Great goal! (My internet is running slower than our defence has in recent weeks.)
I'm still waiting for kick-off.
You missed it earlier in the Unai thread.
-
We have a defence back
-
Now that is a fucking centre half.
-
Much much better stuff.
-
That was a utterly awful counter by bailey
But man thats been best half of season in league. We have been fantastic
-
Bailey - useless at the end there, slip it into Rogers, has no vision to see the reverse pass.
-
Goals. They make all the difference.
-
Much better, Brentford have offered nothing but we’ve been much more incisive.
-
Plenty of empty seats - traffic problems, or something else?
I can think of 'something else'.
Well, yes! That's why I'm not there tonight
Me too...
IACGMOOH?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_a_Celebrity...Get_Me_Out_of_Here!_(British_TV_series)
-
Very good first half, Watkins looking much sharper, we look more solid with Mings at the back, love the way Kamara is growing into this, good positional play and awareness, he's looking really good.
-
And, Rogers and Watkins / fucking get in.
-
Great performance/score line. I don't want to hear anything about Mings/Torres as that has played absolutely zero part in the match up to this point.
-
Mings is clearly the best centre half at the club at actually defending but also offers such an important presence for us.
Mcginn at 10 works really well against teams like this as well, him and Watkins have worked so hard off the ball.
-
Great performance/score line. I don't want to hear anything about Mings/Torres as that has played absolutely zero part in the match up to this point.
Agreed.
-
Up to 6th as it stands.
Let's hope Newcastle don't beat Liverpool.
-
Well that was better, much better.
Bit lucky with the third as Ollie looked offside but it makes a nice change for us to be on the right side of a decision like that.
Bailey still losing it too often but played a great ball to Ollie when he got the pen.
Kamara bossing midfield, he's so important for us.
-
Great performance/score line. I don't want to hear anything about Mings/Torres as that has played absolutely zero part in the match up to this point.
Load of bollocks . Solid foundations at the back and build from there . They've made a huge difference . Great to have the band back together
-
Mings and Konsa, by far the best defensive partnership we have. Get Onana and Kamara in front of them and yuri in front of them and we are a team to fear.
-
Great performance.
McGinn, Rogers and Bailey answering their critics (me included).
Just nothing silly now in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
Mings has been excellent too.
-
This is so much better. Defensively Mings doing well. And I really like Rogers' starting position being deeper so we benefit from his running through. Another 45 like that please!
-
That was a great half. But need to stay frosty. No patented trademark goal conceded just after HT please. I still feel we have it in us to collapse like an England middle order.
-
much better half
mings looked great when we needed him , kamara was class , rogers has improved so far and even mcgin and tielmans .
very happy , they all look confident now ,
thou bailey is still a bit weak , easy losing possession at times .
-
Brentford have been as awful as we have been great.
-
Well this is all highly satisfactory so far.
-
I think it’s a stretch to draw any conclusion about Mings/Torres, Brentford have produced nothing to threaten the defence (a bit like the Champions League games we’ve won). We’ve done brilliantly, but this doesn’t illustrate anything about the defence.

I think even though Bailey has lost it a few times he’s provided a threat and carried the ball well, I think he’s slowly getting a bit better game by game. Still a way to go yet mind.
-
Fuck twattenberg the fucking twat/
-
The last few games nothing has run for us, every decision has gone against us. Tonight things have fallen nicely.
This back 4 makes us so much more solid, it gives us more confidence when things weren’t quite coming off in the first ten minutes or so.
-

Fuck me. So defending well isn’t important.
-
I’m still shitting it when they try and press at the back. A fourth and I’ll be okay.

hope so , there was one move he shoul dhave played in watkins who would have been on goal and lost it and that last attack summed him up but if you cant do it now when we are playing like this you will never do ot.

Not what I’m saying, Brentford haven’t done anything. This isn’t a demonstration of our defence being fixed or anything. We’ve defended fine, which is great.
-
well liverpool aint getting stopped

I think they've looked dangerous in flashes but we have just coped with it very well
-
I've had to mute this commentary
Was that before or after the 'Frank exchange' 'gag'?
-
I think hard to judge defence as brentford have offered virtually nothing going forward
But when called upon looked a lot more solid
-

It is, because the last few games, we haven’t.
This defence is easily our best line up. Mings is perfectly capable on the ball but adds so much more in strength, organisation and leadership.
-
we can give Luca arest for saturday now , get maatsen on .
konsa looks better with mings there too.
-
Mings is clearly the best centre half at the club at actually defending but also offers such an important presence for us.

Against the better teams Carlos plays better. Against the less good teams he is bollocks. McGinn better central than others at the moment. When Jacob is back on left it may be a different story.
-
much better half
mings looked great when we needed him , kamara was class , rogers has improved so far and even mcgin and tielmans .
very happy , they all look confident now ,
thou bailey is still a bit weak , easy losing possession at times .
Most of the times he has lost it, he hasn't really had much in the way of options.
-
I think it’s a stretch to draw any conclusion about Mings/Torres, Brentford have produced nothing to threaten the defence (a bit like the Champions League games we’ve won). We’ve done brilliantly, but this doesn’t illustrate anything about the defence.
Fuck me. So defending well isn’t important.
Not what I’m saying, Brentford haven’t done anything. This isn’t a demonstration of our defence being fixed or anything. We’ve defended fine, which is great.
It is, because the last few games, we haven’t.
This defence is easily our best line up. Mings is perfectly capable on the ball but adds so much more in strength, organisation and leadership.
So the Champions League doesn’t count? There is no way Brentford have been better than Champions League opposition. We looked solid enough in those games. We’ve looked solid here, but it is no different in terms of the threat we’ve faced.
-
We are better, Brentford are shit, Bailey are ineffective.
-
Maybe the defence is better, what I’m saying is basing it on that half from Brentford is way too premature.
-
we can give Luca arest for saturday now , get maatsen on .
konsa looks better with mings there too.
Torres is a much better footballer than Mings but Konsa-Mings better combo. Just need to work out the opposition and who to play. I mean Carlos looks like Vidiic v Man City or Arsenal or Juventus and Liam Ridgewell v e.g Palace
-
We are better, Brentford are shit, Bailey are ineffective.
Well apart from playing a key role in the penalty and forcing a good save.
-
Ha ha, if you say so Paul!
-
Bright start. Carving them open
-
Flekken saves from himself...
-
whats their goalie doing
-
Is it really that crazy of a take? Fair enough. I hope you’re right, you might be.
-
Keeping up the momentum second half.
-
its great having mings back.
-
first time I heard Wissas name
-
its great having mings back.
It really is.
-
its great having mings back.
It is - I want very good player options in every position. We have a few gaps to fill. LCM shouldn't be one
-
McGinn cleared if for them there
-
Oh McGinn, what was that?
-
Maybe the defence is better, what I’m saying is basing it on that half from Brentford is way too premature.
Put the shovel down Paul
-
Oh McGinn, what was that?
he forgot we had changed half
-
Some
Lovely stuff tonight
-
This is men against boys.
-

Put the shovel down Paul

Interesting

FFS

That was weak to concede

That’s dreadful.

If we lose a 3 goal advantage we deserve mid table obscurity

Easy bet on both teams to score. That’s my beers paid for over Xmas

Some of Bouba’s little dinked passes are marvellous.
-
This is men against boys.
Jinxed it. :(
It’s my birthday and I’ll jinx if I want to
It's your fault then, birthday boy!
-
Shaudenfreide I just wanted to use that.
-
This is men against boys.
Jinxed it. :(

Ha, should have remembered it was the same day as that other Villa great.
-
Mings you absolute warrior

-

-
Going to turn commentary off . Fucking shit lt cliched bollicks

Duran and Philogene on for Bailey and Watkins

If goals change games why the Fcuk aren’t we still winning 3-0
-
Need to make a change Unai, our demons are coming back.

-
Going to turn commentary off . Fucking shit lt cliched bollicks
Turned mine off when they called McGinn an Irishman
-
Fcuk me strange substitutions.
-
Not loving Philogene coming on.
-
Right Philogene let’s see something from you please
-
glad leon is off. when he stopped I thought wtf
-
Yellow for Duran already
-
Going to turn commentary off . Fucking shit lt cliched bollicks
Turned mine off when they called McGinn an Irishman
Unreal ignorance
-
Come on philiogene repay the faith in unai
Duran booked already
-
Duran booked about six seconds after coming on
-
Come on JD and Philogene put it to bed
-
I think we need Barkley on, just calm things down.
-
Agreed. You can bank on him.
-
Duran booked about six seconds after coming on
That’s quite reserved for him.
-
FFS Philogene
-
Well done Philogene
-
Questionable subs again from Emery
-
Jaden to make it 4-1 come on
-
Morgan has some of his swagger back.
-
Great ball Mings
-
Ffs at the back just get it up! Ooh err
-
I think we need Barkley on, just calm things down.
Yeah good call. He made 1 mistake v Juve but made 4 really positive interceptions
-
Jaden to make it 4-1 come on
Lol
-
Someone needs to get a foot on the ball.
-
First time all season I have seen our left CB use his right foot.
-
Barkley on
-
Thiago and Carvalho coming on for them we need a 4th
-
First time all season I have seen our left CB use his right foot.
Does he hop everywhere?
-
Ross good.
-
Well played Kamara
-
Kamara off. Perhaps he's still recovering from injury but I don't like him coming off.
-
Urgh Bouba off. Well played but Tielemans needs to work hard.
-
Kamara has been brilliant. I hate to see him go off.
-
I don’t think we will win this. Have a feeling
-
Fcuk me
-
Tyrone looking tired now.
-
Need to be careful now.
-
Ffs barkley. We are determined to fuck this up
-
Jesus we look like a pub team at the minute
-
barkley twice losing the ball
-
Emery making some awful changes here . Barkley is so poor there
-
This is not great. Someone needs to take the sting out of the game, this happens when you’re on a terrible run.
-
barkley twice losing the ball
I blame the birthday boy Risso
-
Unlucky duran
-
That Thiago looks a unit.
-
Rogers really has his spark back.
-
close duran
-
Unlucky Mings
-
So unlucky mings. That would have been a moment
Barkleys lost the ball again.he has bewn abysmal since coming on
-
Unlucky good header Tyrone.
-
close mings
-
FFS Barkley
-
9 attempts to their 1
-
So unlucky mings. That would have been a moment
Barkleys lost the ball again.he has bewn abysmal since coming on
I'll halve the blame with Risso on bringing him on
-
Need to win by 3 to get rid of the minus GD.
The subs we've made are horrific though. Jaden on and Kamara off. That will weaken any team in the world,
-
That Thiago looks a unit.
Big Brazilian signed for twenty-something million after a season scoring loads of goals for Club Brugge?
I'd advise him to keep away from Ben Mee in training.
-
Konsa doing a pirouette when he had players to pass to…
-
barkley twice losing the ball
I blame the birthday boy Risso
happy birthday Risso
-
Eli being emi.
-
That was well blocked by Mings, but that gap at the base of midfield was really poor.
-
Wtf was that emi?????
-
Emerys subs are baffling . Absolutely horrific
-
Ffs
-
Christ almighty Emi what are you doing.
-
FFS straight into touch by Emi.
Get a grip!
-
Emerys subs are baffling . Absolutely horrific
Why didn’t you mention it before now?
-
Needs to replace Emi with emi
-
Great head Ross.
-
Oh no Tyrone is dead.
-
Good work Tyrone.
-
Mings is playing really well, taking some stick though
-
Well played Tyrone. He's been immense.
-
It’s in the mind. We have come out this half thinking it will be as easy as it was. We need to get their heads sorted out.
-
Cash booked.
-
This is very Bournemouth all over again , sitting deeper can't hold possession, Emerys subs are tragic
-
Tielemans at the base on midfield is not great when we’re under the cosh.
-
Despite the yellow, I think Cash has been good.
-
Cash booked.
Not seen match - how had he played tonight?
-
I like the Randy ski instructor. Good manager.
-
Tielemans at the base on midfield is not great when we’re under the cosh.
He's a shit defensive midfielder. Great in the final third mind
-
Newsflash, Tim doesn’t like the subs…..
-
Cash booked.
Not seen match - how had he played tonight?
He’s played well.
-
Newsflash, Tim doesn’t like the subs…..
I’m starting to get that impression
-
durans done ok
-
Morgan you moron.
-
Despite the yellow, I think Cash has been good.
He as been good, going about his business, well taken goal.
-
Cash booked.
Not seen match - how had he played tonight?
He’s played well.
Good I thought he did well last week too v Juve. Again certain games may be better for him.
-
Good save from Duran
-
That’s better villa
-
Fcuk me unlucky
-
Great ball Ty, JD got to score
-
Buendia and Maatsen on
-
Brilliant ball by mings. Duran unlucky
-
Little EMI on now
-
I get sad when I see little emis sad face
-
When Kamara went off so did our game management. Why Philogene gets minutes is a complete mystery. SJM looking more like his old self.
-
mings ball was brilliant
-
Man barkley has been awful
-
Barkley keeps losing the ball.
-
Risso has gone quiet now we all blame him
-
Duran needs a start, I think.
-
Ross, you’re supposed to be calming things down la
-
Rogers has been much more like his normal self, excellent. The difference a driving threat makes is massive.
-
Barkley has been a liability
-
I’m guessing six minutes here.
-
I'm not sure bringing on a tiny midfielder is the best move at this stage of the game.
-
Barkley keeps losing the ball.
He been gash tonight
-
Barkley has been a liability
Certainly not in credit.
-
Rogers was good tonight , fair play as I didnt want him starting
-
Man barkley has been awful
Blame Risso and that other fella who thought bringing him on was a good idea
-
Duran needs a start, I think.
I’ll take the goal and assist from Watkins.
-
Philogene has no confidence.
-
Man barkley has been awful
Blame Risso and that other fella who thought bringing him on was a good idea
Unai? 😀
-
Philogene has no confidence.
I can't believe he is on the pitch tbh.
-
Buendia lively again
-
We’ve recovered really well here.
-
In fact duran has been great
-
I love Jhon
-
In fact duran has been great
He has
-
Duran’s last goal was at Molineux apparently.
-
Great tackle Konsa
-
Five minutes added
-
In fact duran has been great
He has
A good all round performance, actually looks part of the team.
-
Mings MOTM. Deservedly so.
-
Wow philiogene beat a man !
-
We’ve recovered really well here.
Yep, dodgy spell for 20 mins but have asserted ourselves since then
-
Well done Philogene.
-
Played Jaden
-
Well played Philogene, credit where it's due.
-
Digne has been good too to be fair
-
Well done Jhon
-
Mings immense tonight
-
Emi B. Oh dear.
-
buendia that was pants
-
Good result
-
Brilliant performance
Mings motm Fantastic
-
All over. Excellent.
-
Great to have a defence again
