Strong line-up, that's what I'd have gone for.

Buendia starts?! Hmmm.
Our bench is very weak. Sancho must still be sick or unfit.
-
So does Rogers :P

Edited :P …didn’t see his name on the shit background…let’s hope he’s not so invisible on the pitch!
-

Our bench is very weak. Sancho must still be sick or unfit.
Too many injuries unfortunately which never seem to clear up quickly.
-
Where the hell is Onana?!
-
Win please.
-
Where the hell is Onana?!
He is in his treatment room.
-
Entry is ridiculous been in queue for an hour now. How can they not handle 2,400 .

Should be renamed De Kip. Hope you get in soon.
-
I haven’t been excited for this one at all but the last few hours growing increasingly nervous.
0-3
-
Broggio on the bench. Hopefully we’re cruising and he gets some minutes
-
Disappointing lack of "oh, I remember him!" players in the Feyenoord side. I thought that was pretty much the point of the Europa League.
Ahmedhodžić who spent a few years being a bit rubbish in defence for Sheffield Utd being the only one I reckon.

Someone's forgotten Gladstone Small, Miranda Sawyer and Mustapha Hadji in a hurry. I can only see the last names and I haven't got my glasses on but I expect to be proven entirely correct. There appears to be a Spice Girls song at centre-half too. As well as Frank Butcher.
What the hell is wrong with you, Dave?
-
Buendia starts?! Hmmm.
Starting a player who was excellent in his last appearance doesn’t seem a particularly wild option to me.
-
Given we have 5 out, that’s a decent starting 11 and the bench is t that bad.
-
Buendia starts?! Hmmm.
Starting a player who was excellent in his last appearance doesn’t seem a particularly wild option to me.
The point being that some of us recognise that he’s had better games coming on as a sub with 30 minutes to go rather than starting games.
-
Well if we had brought him on with half an hour to go on Sunday he wouldn't have scored. Players play well, reward them. Buendia should obviously start today after Sunday.
-
its pretty much as strong as we've got.
-
Yep.
-
Broggio on the bench. Hopefully we’re cruising and he gets some minutes
Doesn't he post on here?
-
I'd take the draw. Can see them winning though to be honest.
-

Pedantic but true.
-
wtf bizot is in?
-
It's wild to me that they keep saying Villa are favourites to win the Europa League. Wild.
-
Bizot??
-
Where is Martinez ?
-
wtf bizot is in?
Apparently so.
-
Where is emi??
-
A change of goalie at Rotterdam again.
-
it said Emi on BBC and the AVFC whatsapp message
-
Bizot eh.
-
This is a pain in the neck.
-
Their kits and badge are both quite nice.
-
WTF?
-
FTF 8)
-
I love this stadium. Hopefully we can shut their fans up
-
Emi pulled out, apparently
-
Couldn’t Emi have managed the first nine minutes at least?
-
Ffs Martinez out
-
Emi pulled out, apparently
Not the first time that has happened.
-
Emi pulled out, apparently
Not the first time that has happened.
It's a Catholic thing.
-
I really want to be able to say, McGinn, prepared to adventure down the left, there's a good ball played in for Buendia, oh! And it must be.. And it is! Watkins! haha
-
Bizot taken out. Lovely
-
bizot is ace
-
Emi pulled out, apparently
Not the first time that has happened.
It's a Catholic thing.
It's why I renounced my faith.
-
bizot is ace
He’s been impressive so far this season.
-
Lovely ball by Pau
-
bizot is ace
Everything you want for a 2nd choice keeper.
-
Any leaky taps? My usual doesn’t think we exist!
-
Good tackle, Cash.
-
Cash gives me the jitters when he tackles in the box
-
Watkins should have played Rodgers in
-
Good tackle, Cash.
risky!
-
That was a bit fucky abouty.
-
That was a bit fucky abouty.
Crap touch in the middle. Shite.
-
Tuned in just in time to watch us pissing around at the back and making a fudge of things
-
Are there different shirt sponsor rules in Europe?
-
That was fantastic from Konsa, it's when he drives forward like that that you see why Emery has tried him at RB a lot.
-
Are there different shirt sponsor rules in Europe?
Different laws in different countries.
-
Decent save
-
Getting that shot away was too easy.
-
Tuned in just in time to watch us pissing around at the back and making a fudge of things
When we get overloaded on the press we always play the suicide pass rather than clearing it. We never learn.
-
Are there different shirt sponsor rules in Europe?
Yes gambling companies are already banned in a fair few places so I think most teams change for the whole competition because it's simpler.
-
Villa fans making some noise!
-
As always a slow start. Shame we can't decide to attack from the off.
-
Decent by Ollie, clear booking for them. Bring Digne on for the free kick, please!
-
Free kick. Yellow card. Good position
-
As always a slow start. Shame we can't decide to attack from the off.
Just quieting the crowd. Fair enough, IMO.
-
Those are the 1-2s that I love from Beundia, nice link up.
-
that may have been red if Ollie's first touch wasn't horrific
-
When did we last score a free kick?
-
Free kick. Yellow card. Good position
Watkins was in on goal then?
-
Possible red card? That would be nice.
-
VAR
-
How is that not red?
-
VAR so could still be red.
-
Surely he is the last man when he commits that foul!
-
Decent by Ollie, clear booking for them. Bring Digne on for the free kick, please!
Great lay off first and then did brilliantly to get on it again and force the foul.
-
It’s the screen
-
Think he's got to go. No one else is getting over to stop the shot.
-
Fuck. Stayed yellow
-
No red
-
Red card? Nah. Close call
-
Lucky for him. I think it’s Ollie’s touch that lets him down on that one
-
Sticks with the yellow. The more I see it the more it's a red for me.
-
Yellow fair enough IMO, but why did he do the hands thing if not giving the red card?
-
Lucky for him. I think it’s Ollie’s touch that lets him down on that one
100%
-
Refereeing in Euro competitions is so inconsistent. Soft when it shouldn't be, harsh when it makes little sense. Obviously, a red.
-
I don’t think that’s a red.
-
Edit: Ahmedhodzic's a lucky lad there (sorry, the cameras were pointing at Hwang for a while afterwards)
-
That referee is a strange little man.
-
Lucky for him. I think it’s Ollie’s touch that lets him down on that one
I agree, I reckon that's the only thing that's saved him.
-
Think it's a good decision too. Away from goal.
-
So Toronto and PtV are definitely watching different realities then PWS. It appears I'm also in the latters one.
-
Was a yellow
-

I hit send too early
-
Think it's a good decision too. Away from goal.
That’s my opinion too.
-
Nice interplay with Ollie and Rogers.
-
Think that red gets given for the home team tbh.
-
Lucky for him. I think it’s Ollie’s touch that lets him down on that one
I agree, I reckon that's the only thing that's saved him.
He's definitely getting a clear shot on goal all the same.
-
Fuck me, that would have been some goal!!!
-
Had no confidence in Watkins then
-
Think it's a good decision too. Away from goal.
That’s my opinion too.
Yeah I don’t think it’s a red.
-
That's why I love buendia, we don't have any else who does that.
-
Nice interplay with Ollie and Rogers.
Lovely through ball from Rogers
-
If the defender had not tripped Ollie, who was going to catch him? One on one with the keeper. A red all day long.
-
Had no confidence in Watkins then
Ollie given time to think about it… offside anyway!
-
Nice move. At least we are playing like Villa again.
-
The ref has obviously seen Ollie one on one with a keeper before and decided it wasn’t a goal scoring opportunity.
-
I thought it was a red just for balance
-
Had no confidence in Watkins then
Believe it or not, neither did I.
-
Think it's a good decision too. Away from goal.
That’s my opinion too.
Yeah I don’t think it’s a red.
You can make either argument so fair enough to stick with initial decision either way.
-
Had no confidence in Watkins then
Me neither! But at least he's getting into good positions.
Great pass from Buendia too.
-
We’re knocking it around through the middle with some pace and it’s better
-
I think that was right, his touch was too heavy to be a clear goalscoring opportunity
-
Unlucky Ollie. He’s playing well, looks a right menace
-
Had no confidence in Watkins then
Ollie given time to think about it… offside anyway!
It was great covering defending to be fair had it been onside.
-
Guessand has got to get into the bloody game
-
Buendia doing well.
-
Buendia having a good game so far.
-
We just seem to be playing with a bit more confidence again at last.
-
Our passing is night and day from how we started the season.
-
Buendia doing well.
He’s been very good.
-
I was bemoaning refs not being strong on their initial decisions when sent to the screen, so my only moan is why today. Still not the worst VAR decision today though.
-
Emi B did brilliantly there.
-
If the defender had not tripped Ollie, who was going to catch him? One on one with the keeper. A red all day long.
This.
-
Think it's a good decision too. Away from goal.
That’s my opinion too.
Yeah I don’t think it’s a red.
You can make either argument so fair enough to stick with initial decision either way.
Yeah, that too. Subjective at best. No way it's a red on review considering that.
-
Are we keeping count of how many times Rogers gives the ball away
-
Are we keeping count of how many times Rogers gives the ball away
I thought he's done better so far! Had some decent involvements.
-
Are we keeping count of how many times Rogers gives the ball away
Not having his best game. Again.
-
Rogers really needs to improve how to protect the ball. Guy with his frame shouldn't be getting knocked off the ball.
-
Is it Sidwell on comms for TNT?
-
Why are we resting Emi.
Goalkeepers hardly get tired.
Should play our best keeper.
-
yup. the gbinger ninja himself
-
Can't believe that night in Moscow was 16 years ago!
-
Why are we resting Emi.
Goalkeepers hardly get tired.
Should play our best keeper.
Even though he pulled out injured?
Seems unnecessarily risky.
-
Sloppy trying to play the ball out from the back again. I really don’t like it .
-
Bizot doing well.
-
Torres is really looking much more like when he signed.
-
Torres is really looking much more like when he signed.
lovely tight passing with Kamara.
-

Bit suss as well.
-
Can't see this ending 0-0.
-
Rogers!!
-
Yikes.
-
Torres looking tidy. Kamara has the cigar out. Rogers sloppy again.
-
Rogers gives it away...again.
-
Rogers is costing us now
-
rogers slack there
-
Torres is really looking much more like when he signed.
lovely tight passing with Kamara.
It feels very high risk / high reward.
Would be nice to get the reward part at some point though.
-
We cannot afford for Rogers to keep giving the ball away in our half
-
Torres is playing a blinder. Has spotted the fact that he will get plenty of opportunities to move forward and play balls through midfield and is taking advantage of it
-
Has Rogers got a twin? Because this isn't the same man who plays for England
-
Rogers needs a f***ing rocket up his ar*e!!!!!!
-
Defence and midfield has switched off.
-
Sort it out villa
-
Rogers needs a f***ing rocket up his ar*e!!!!!!
Not the only one.
-
This is strange - we're the better side and yet Bizot is probably our MOTM so far.
-
Guessand has got to get into the bloody game
He's hiding. At least when Ollie is having a bad time he never stops searching for the ball.
-
Inevitably since I wrote we were playing well it’s been all them.
-
Can't keep just coughing up possession so easily in our own half.
-
I'd prefer Morley to Rogers, even though he's 71.
-
Very sloppy few minutes, Maatsen idiotic header back into middle of pitch, Rogers can't complete a 5 yard pass in middle of pitch, Konsa lost at back post. Better team punishes defending like that
-
Better Rogers, unlucky.
-
Rogers again, smash the fucking thing!
-
This is strange - we're the better side and yet Bizot is probably our MOTM so far.
We are, yet their keeper has had nothing to do
-
we need to calm it down
-
Rogers again, smash the fucking thing!
why, when he can overhit the pass by 80%?
-
12 months ago Rodgers hits that
-
Some context, we are playing away to the currently most in form team in a country with a strong footballing tradition
-
great opening by rogers and then crap pass
-
Oh well, at least it was a shot on target!
-
Constantly losing possession all over the pitch.
-
Maatsen's heading is shit.
-
Ah Watkins. You’re not Duran
-
Buendia working his socks off
-
WTF Ollie.
-
Substitute keeper playing very well in the De Kuip
-
Very end to end game.
-
Torres is a great passer of the ball
-
They’re gonna score here if we don’t tighten it up.
-
Steijn of Feyenoord would look superb in claret & blue
-
Goal. FFS.
Edit. Foul.
-
Oh!! What a save that was!!!!
-
Well we got away with that.
-
Now it's our turn to be lucky...
-
Yeah the universal sign for a goal by a ref is pointing at the 6 yd box....fucking stupid comms.
-
The centre of our defence is very poor in the air. We get away with one there.
-
This referee doesn't know how to signal anything.
-
Oh!! What a save that was!!!!
Yeah just like that famous save against Sheff United. 😄
-
That’s a huuuuuuuuuge let off.
-
Massive let off, didn't see a foul there.
-
lucky there
-
I wish Kamara would let his hair down.He plays better with a 'fro.
-
We’re on the rack here. Need to dig in until half time.
-
Fcuk. Got away with one there. Fix up Villa.
-
What's wrong with Emi BTW? Shoulder problem?
-
Oh!! What a save that was!!!!
Yeah just like that famous save against Sheff United. 😄
Haha I will take both!
-
Smallest man in their team, out jumps and out muscles 3 villa players with that header
-
Very end to end game.
We have lost all control. Think McGinn is struggling.
-
Big let off, we need to get control again.
-
Lucky there.
-
No foul there. We got lucky.
-
Thank you referee, you spotted a foul there where I didn’t!!
-
This referee doesn't know how to signal anything.
Mad, isn't it. Lucky he doesn't work for Air Traffic Control.
-
What's wrong with Emi BTW? Shoulder problem?
Maybe he doesn't want to be cup-tied?!
-
When's Youri back?
-
1-1 in shit decisions in my view. Two wrongs make a right, Lisa
-
Great save
-
They’re growing into it. We’re looking flustered again
-
I'd consider bringing Guessand on.
-
What's wrong with Emi BTW? Shoulder problem?
Maybe he doesn't want to be cup-tied?!
I'm not sure if you're joking but that isn't a rule any more, hence Asensio played for us last in Europe last season.
-
When's Youri back?
It's just a knock, so about April.
-
We don’t believe in shooting do we?
-
I'd consider bringing Guessand on.
It’s like playing with 10 men
-
Just watched another 3 replays and still can’t spot the foul
-
Rogers ffs
-
rogers again
-
Rogers fucks it Pt N. Captain 25 Years Ago wonders if he's got some negatives in a draw somewhere
-
Ollie's movement tonight is back to his best. Two center backs are terrified of him.
-
Rogers gives it away yet again, he's their best players at the moment.
-
here we fucking go, Morgans put his cock eyed clown shoes on again
-
Living dangerously here: just hope and pray it stays 0-0 till half time then we can regroup.
-
We don’t believe in shooting do we?
Only in our own foot.
-
Ffs Morgan!!!
-
And again!
-
Why is Rogers on the pitch??
-
Rogers has got to stop trying to force it, it’s okay to keep possession and create another move.
-
Rodgers needs hooking at HT
-
Watkins looking sharp. Rogers looking blunt.
-
FFS ROGERS, Stop giving the ball away.
-
What's wrong with Emi BTW? Shoulder problem?
Maybe he doesn't want to be cup-tied?!
I'm not sure if you're joking but that isn't a rule any more, hence Asensio played for us last in Europe last season.
Someone one the Guardian MBM (not the journo, an emailer) mentioned it so I thought I'd tittle-tattle.
-
Rogers needs a rest.
-
rogers going to have another crap percentage passing rate again
-
ROGERS! Stop rogering it up!
-
Martin and Postecoglu having a shittest appointment competition tonight, it seems
-
I'd consider bringing Guessand on.
Bring him on for Rogers
-
Despair with Rogers passing.
-
Gizza pen for the bantz, please, ref.
-
Rogers has got to stop trying to force it, it’s okay to keep possession and create another move.
He's not forcing it, they're basic amateur passes he can't complete
-
Guessand is as robust as strawberry blancmange
-
Feyenoord are a really good team to be fair. They've cut us open a few times.
-
As patchy as Rogers is, he’s trying.
Guessand on the other hand……….
-
We are playing well. If only Rogers wouldn’t keep giving the effin ball away.
-
Cash was on toast then.
-
Guessand don’t do much.
Buendia having a good game.
-
A lot of BTS 90's hairstyles on show
-
Get Malen & Elliott on at HT please.
-
Marco Bizot.
-
Rogers does several good things and its always followed by an absolute dog shit pass under no pressure at all.
-
Rogers needs taking off. Get a centre midfielder on - we'd have more control
-
It's 12 vs 9. Rogers for them and Guessand doing an invisible man impression.
-
These are shit....we're just back to being shitter again
-
Well done Bizknees.
-
Rogers has got to stop trying to force it, it’s okay to keep possession and create another move.
He has fucked up three five yard passes in the middle of the pitch. Buendia is a liability defensively on the left too, very sharp on the ball though. Swap them.
-
Teams don't have to try too hard against us sometimes, they can simply wait and we'll give them the ball, eh, Torres?
-
Bizot on fire
-
Great save Bizot.
-
It's 12 vs 9. Rogers for them and Guessand doing an invisible man impression.
Guessand should of paid for his ticket tonight.
-
Difficult to believe this is still goalless. Brilliant game for the neutral, defensive coaches - that's another matter.....
-
Feyenoord are playing well now but we’ve really dropped off.
-
We're getting battered tbh.
-
Bizot on fire
Oh no, surely they'll call the game off.
-
Teams don't have to try too hard against us sometimes, they can simply wait and we'll give them the ball, eh, Torres?
A tale as old as time with the Villa.
-
I think Rogers is just shit. The way he loses the ball and walks back like hes 15 pints deep is pathetic. Get him and wheres guessand off at HT
-
Inevitable if we don’t get a grip.
-
Bizot on fire
Oh no, surely they'll call the game off.
He can handle it.
-
This a 0-0 twatting.
-
Bizot on fire
Our defence is terrified.
-
Shots 13/5 to our 3/1
-
They've gained confidence from our inept passing and fucking about
-
Bizot is at home here.
-
Bizot on fire
Oh no, surely they'll call the game off.
Hopefully.
-
Pau off the line.
-
Absolutely nothing sticking in the final third which is why we’re constantly under pressure.
-
What flanks, what width, TNT commentary team?
-
Guessand needs to do more defensively.
-
Shots 13/5 to our 3/1
If only the ref had sent their player off, it would have been 12/4 and 4/2 instead.
-
Guessand is as robust as strawberry blancmange
He is a total passenger.
-
We're getting punished for going into a season without any width.
-
Guessand needs to do more defensively.
And all the other bits.
-
Marco Bizot
-
Rogers Buendia just keep giving the ball away.
-
Guessand needs to do more.
FTFY
-
Guessand needs to do more defensively.
And all the other bits.
Your Guessand is as good as mine.
-
Rogers needs a spell out now. It’s destroying him.
-
Bizot is at home here.
Nah, he's from the other end of the country.
-
Buendia ffs.
-
Rogers needs a spell out now. It’s destroying him.
Starting 11 Sunday.
-
That’s never a pen
-
Rogers needs a spell out now. It’s destroying him.
Starting 11 until May.
FTFY.
-
Bizot is at home here.
Nah, he's from the other end of the country.
Good man.
-
Shots 13/5 to our 3/1
If only the ref had sent their player off, it would have been 12/4 and 4/2 instead.
We would of skyed it so 4/1
-
We're back to looking like donkey dicks again.
-
Rogers is a total liability.
-
It's not like us to be under the cosh with our sub keeper playing well in this stadium.
-
Bizot has proven yet again tonight he’s not Robin Olsen.
-
Nothing going for Roy.
-
get bloody rogers off please
-
Rogers needs hooking.
Hoping he will play himself back into form isn’t working.
-
Rogers needs to not be playing....he's low on confidence and nothing is working for him. It's like playing with 10.
-
Entertaining 0-0 and while we’ve shown some bright moments, Bizot has kept us in the game. It’s close to clicking in the attacking third but when it breaks down - as it has done, repeatedly - it seems we’re on the verge of catastrophe in an instant.
-
Shots 13/5 to our 3/1
Are those the odds on us having one?
-
Half time. Rogers swapped out please. For anyone!
-
Guessand and Rogers should be hooked for Elliot and Malen, anonymous the pair of them.
-
Shots 13/5 to our 3/1
Are those the odds on us having one?
Generous if they were
-
Malen and Elliott for Rodgers and Guessand please.
-
Is Rogers playing protest because he didn't get a summer move or something?
His meteoric drop in form makes absolutely no sense.
-
If Roger’s comes out 2nd half I will shout obscenity’s at my TV.
He’s one big liability to us at the moment.
-
Starting to think last season may have been a fluke for Rogers.
-
Malen and Elliott for Rodgers and Guessand please.
100. As the kids say.
-
They’re clearly a side in form who is good at home. We were ok apart from 15 mins where we ceded control. Need to up the intensity a bit and stop the crosses from wide.
-
HT: I thought that's the best we've played this season, we looked pretty fluid and confident at times going forward. Buendia was involved in most of what we did well. Maatsen and Kamara looked good. Obviously Rogers still not quite at the races. We definitely weathered some of the storm there. We need our final balls to stick more. Really good game!
-
I'd get Bogey on for Rogers. Get a grip in midfield.
-
Rogers is still off but he still did some good stuff at times.
-
Guessand and Rogers should be hooked for Elliot and Malen, anonymous the pair of them.
I'd be tempted to go for one of the kids instead of Malen and then bring him on up front later. We need to get them some time in games in case we need them later in the season.
-
Shots 13/5 to our 3/1
Are those the odds on us having one?
Feyenoord were 12/5 at the start of the game which was good odds, I thought.
-
If Roger’s comes out 2nd half I will shout obscenity’s at my TV.
He’s one big liability to us at the moment.
He'll become the next Joao Felix
-
I get the impression we are going to see a more focused Villa in the 2nd half, can't see how we will do another 45 like that, wouldn't take anybody off until the hour, unless Rogers starts to have some impact him and Guessand off.
Think Villa will win this...Just.
-
Rogers needs a spell out now. It’s destroying him.
Starting 11 until May.
FTFY.
I was going to put in he will get a yellow card suspension before then, then noticed he hasn't had any which is probably more damming about how much he is doing on the pitch off the ball.
-
I'd like to see Broggio get a go at some point.
-

I wish I could enjoy games in this manner. The presence of those claret and blue shirts just turns me into a quivering, possibly paranoid mess.
-
Is Rogers playing protest because he didn't get a summer move or something?
His meteoric drop in form makes absolutely no sense.
I’m starting to think it could be more of a mental state after being called up for England.
-
Malen and Elliott for Rodgers and Guessand please.
100. As the kids say.
No cap low key

Sadly players are looking up and avoiding the pass to Guessand. I guess they see him in training
-
I'd like to see Broggio get a go at some point.
Are they playing in Europe this season?
-
I'd like to see Broggio get a go at some point.
Roberto's boy
-
He won’t make any changes at half time unless it’s to bring Elliott off again after 47.
-
Bizot is doing himself the world of good.
I have a feeling he will be our number 1 from here on in.
-
Guessand needs to do more defensively.
And all the other bits.
😄 Competition winner in all honesty. We settled a bit there last 5-10 mins. Out of possession we are a bit of rabble again. Not helped by Rogers giving away possession in dangerous areas constantly. That left flank of Maatsen/Buendia is too weak defensively, Maatsen needs a Ramsey like athlete in front of him.
Fortunate to be 0-0 after a very good start, that red card is given at Villa Park. Watkins has been sharp as has Torres. Kamara fine in possession but not providing much of a defensive screen in front of the centre backs. Buendia looks very sharp on the ball to be fair to him.
Guessand will come off anyway, might aswell give Elliot a go on right. Could try McGinn left and bring Bogarde into the middle. Buendia at 10 and Rogers hooked too.
-
I get the impression we are going to see a more focused Villa in the 2nd half, can't see how we will do another 45 like that, wouldn't take anybody off until the hour, unless Rogers starts to have some impact him and Guessand off.
Think Villa will win this...Just.
No need for Peter Withe's shin for a 1-0: John McGinn's backside will do just fine!
-
Incidentally I had no idea that Foggia are now playing serie C! Having been in Serie A in 1995.
-
Rogers has done a few brilliant turns but his passing has been comically bad again. It’s killing us.
-
Sampdoria down there, too.
Edit: no they're not.
-
I’d have liked a sending off and a pen but I can’t really fault this ref, good to see someone standing by decisions and taking them in a timely manner.
Guessand not been up to much and Cash makes me nervous but other than that I think we’re looking most likely to do something.
-
HT: I thought that's the best we've played this season, we looked pretty fluid and confident at times going forward. Buendia was involved in most of what we did well. Maatsen and Kamara looked good. Obviously Rogers still not quite at the races. We definitely weathered some of the storm there. We need our final balls to stick more. Really good game!
I wish I could enjoy games in this manner. The presence of those claret and blue shirts just turns me into a quivering, possibly paranoid mess.
Ha, I know what you mean. I find if Villa are showing nothing, or when I stupidly expected us to show up and we don't, I get stressed. When we're in the mix and showing something occasionally, it's easier for me.
-

We’d be losing if they went down to 10 men.
-
Sampdoria down there, too.
I thought they got a stay of execution
-
Such a shame the half time chat is having to lead with the referee's performance rather than the teams'. It's so frustrating
-
We're getting punished for going into a season without any width.
Or pace.
-
Sampdoria down there, too.
Wow.

I think the issues you highlight are linked. Guessand has been really poor defensively and it’s left Cash exposed.
-
Bizot is doing himself the world of good.
I have a feeling he will be our number 1 from here on in.
Please
-
13 -
@Feyenoord
recorded 13 shots in the first half against Aston Villa, their most in the first half of a European match since 22 August 2019 (14 v Hapoel Be'er Sheva).
-
Apparently the club have sent out someone to find Guessand. He's probably in the queue for a hot dog with the rest of the spectators.
-
I do think some of our playing out from the back has been brilliant, but other times terror-inducing
-
Soccer Aid has been nowhere but I'm sure that's not his fault.
Not terrible, not brilliant.
-
To be fair to Rogers has made some decent runs, turns and passes, but let down by a couple of poor decisions, which most on here think merits a substitution. Someone tell me who you would sub him for at this stage.
-
If we carry on like we played the last 20 mins we will concede.
Terrible decision making in attack.
-
Starting to think last season may have been a fluke for Rogers.
Maybe we should have taken Dave's approach on Bailey with Rogers. Sell him after the season of his life for more than he's worth at an inflated price instead of hanging onto him and watch as he turns from shine to shit and his value plummets.
-

I agree, I think he’s done some good stuff. Clearly still not there, but he’s improving.
-

Elliot
-
We need to get that goal early, can't have then coming at us for the entire 2nd half.
-
Ollie was very good, we need to get the ball out to him quicker, he looks well up for it. The back four, especially Torres and Maatsen have been very good. Bizot very commanding too.
Rogers trying, but the simple things go very wrong and we lose possession and also a chance to attack.
Buendia is playing well, tidy on the ball and working hard.
-
At the game and think Rogers has done some good stuff but still sloppy at times. It's the right side that needs to improve.
-

As long as he keeps performing for England, people will assume it’s “us” not “him” and his value should remain
-
People moaning that VAR didn't look at the goal like they did when reviewing the potential red card. Fuck them. If VAR could review after the ref calls a foul, we would be in the Champions League and not playing tonight.
-
Buendia's flick and through ball for Ollie's chance was a thing of beauty.
-
Guessand and is out of his depth at this level I’m afraid
Rogers there best player
Weirdly the back 4 are playing really well whilst at the same time looking like they might concede at any moment
-
People moaning that VAR didn't look at the goal like they did when reviewing the potential red card. Fuck them. If VAR could review after the ref calls a foul, we would be in the Champions League and not playing tonight.
Or if Bizot had been playing instead of Martínez
-
Feels like the back five are doing their jobs, Ollie and Emi are doing their jobs and it's the other four who aren't doing enough to get / keep the ball in the right third of the pitch.
-
Apparently the club have sent out someone to find Guessand. He's probably in the queue for a hot dog with the rest of the spectators.
How many times has he had the ball? We just do not pass to him, it is as there is a feeling amongst the other players not to give it him.
-
No changes.
-
Martinez injured apparently.
-
Emi injured apparently
-
Sampdoria down there, too.
I thought they got a stay of execution
You're right, I forgot that. They're bottom of Serie B this season so making a good go of it again.
-
I was annoyed when Gessuand was on the right with no player marking him and rogers decides to give the ball away with a harder pass to watkins.
-
Guessand and is out of his depth at this level I’m afraid
Rogers there best player
Weirdly the back 4 are playing really well whilst at the same time looking like they might concede at any moment
Back 4 all fine in possession but age old problems with Konsa in air and Maatsen really can't defend much. Been sold out a bit with what's in front of them.
-
We can do better than this…
-
Kicking towards the Peter Withe stand now.
-
That’s just dumb Emi.
-
Van Persie warming up. Hat trick incoming.
-
Nil all at half time, second best and attacking the same end as where we scored in '82. I wonder....
-
Great block konsa.
-
Kicking towards the Peter Withe stand now.
Ha ha I like this 😄
-
Torres passing putting us in the shit again
-
Fucking hell work harder.
-
Van Persie warming up. Hat trick incoming.
All offside but mysteriously allowed to stand.
-
Get Rogers off, didn't even run for that pass. Super block from Konsa
-
Guessand can’t shoot.
-
Guessand prepared to venture down the left.
-
People moaning that VAR didn't look at the goal like they did when reviewing the potential red card. Fuck them. If VAR could review after the ref calls a foul, we would be in the Champions League and not playing tonight.
Or if Bizot had been playing instead of Martínez
Or Olsen.
-
Rogers just let them have the ball,
-
Was too much to expect Rogers and Guessand to both play well in the same attack.
-
Even then a fucking standard pass 8 ft to Guessand and his body shape, angle of foot is all completely wrong....school boy stuff
-
Guessand looks absolutely shite
-
Starting to think I'll be happy with 0-0
-
Guessand prepared to venture down the left.
He couldn’t venture out of a paper bag.
-
Better
-
Guessand can’t shoot, pass, chip, control, etc.
And again FTFY
-
why didnt rogers play it quicker to guessand ..
-
That was clearly in. Officials have been enjoying Dutch cafes before the game.
-
Rogers has completely forgotten how to pass, it's crazy. I love the kid but he needs to sharpen up.
-
Starting to think I'll be happy with 0-0
Wouldnt be the end of the world
-
Guessand off the post from the left.
-
Guessand looks absolutely shite
Missed sitter there! Super pass from Buendia
-
Unlucky
-
That’s twice we’ve just stopped and waited for a decision.
Better move.
-
Everything good we have done seems to have come through Beundia. He’s impressed so far.
-
Great pass from Emi.
-
If he gets a goal he won’t be picked last on Sunday.
-
Guessand can’t shoot.
He’s more effective than Rogers at the moment
-
Rogers is doing some of the hard stuff well, but literally gives it away every time, even if it looks virtually impossible to be able to give it away, he somehow finds a way to do it.
-
This ref is weird.
-
That was one of the worst set pieces I've ever seen...
-
That was one of the worst set pieces I've ever seen...
Austin McPhee was taking notes
-
Guessand can’t shoot.
He’s more effective than Rogers at the moment
And has just got us the closest so far to taking the lead...
-
Guessand off the post from the left.
Wrong bloody post. If it had been the right side, it would have gone in
-
Guessand can’t shoot.
He’s more effective than Rogers at the moment
And has just got us the closest so far to taking the lead...
Think he is the new scapegoat. Foreign player signed in the summer, nailed on.
-
Guessand has zero pace
-
Some great football from us there. The run from Konza, great feet from Watkins, Buendia with the little through ball. Love it. Come on boys.
-
That wasn’t offside
-
Konsa has brought the ball out from the back well tonight a few times.
-
whys that not a corner
-
Good little passage of play there initiated by Konsa.
Luckily Roger’s was nowhere near it to bollocks it up.
-
I’m not sure about this referee
-
So much breaks down as soon as we enter their third of the pitch
-
Guessand can’t shoot, pass, chip, control, etc.
And again FTFY
What does FTFY mean?
-
Guessand can’t shoot, pass, chip, control, etc.
And again FTFY
What does FTFY mean?
Fixed that for you
-
The referee has been fun.
-
Fixed that for you
-
Nae chance Morgan, not even with this lunatic.
-
Hopefully Feyernoord have used up all their good opportunities and we can sneak a jammy one.
-
Fucking hell he can't even dive properly.
-
Guessand can’t shoot, pass, chip, control, etc.
And again FTFY
What does FTFY mean?
That you need to get with the jargon Grandpa.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Rogers! Did so well, why not cross it in that position!
-
EMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
-
Pathetic dive
-
He can’t even pull off a convincing dive.
-
60 minutes gone. 60% possession only 1 shot on target. Simply not good enough.
Edit: erm….see when we shoot we can score
-
Yesss
-
Ayyayyaya
-
...."from Argentina...."
-
60 minutes gone. 60% possession only 1 shot on target. Simply not good enough.
The timing......
-
1-0 emmmmiiiii
-
Yes! Little Emi

60 minutes gone. 60% possession only 1 shot on target. Simply not good enough.
Oooops

Good day, sir!

Get in!

EMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII GET THE FUCK IN! At the Peter Withe End!
-
Emi!!! GTFI
-
emiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
-
Scorchio ting
-
And there it is!!
-
He’s had a blinder tonight has little Emi.
-
That’s a fantastic goal.
-
The little bugger is going to be our player of the season as the rest are shit so far
-
EMMMIIII BBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!
-
kamara great tackle
-
Thats the way to do it, softly softly catch a monkey, stitched em right up.
-
Brilliant delighted for Buendia. Great ball won by Kamara to make the chance.
-
Hahaha the one player the club has been desperate to move on.
Well played Emi lad.
-
You little beauty
-
Fully deserved lead
*cough*
-
The little bugger is going to be our player of the season as the rest are shit so far
Also he's been bloody good himself.
-
Pick that out.
Buendia is class.
-
After being somewhat battered, we take the lead shortly after the hour...
-
Great finish, Emi
-
Little EMI. That’s a great finish.
-
Not bad for 9 men
-
Need 2 more to stick it to RVP
-
Buendia is a silky little Argentinian bulldog.
He's showed us loyalty too.
I'm firmly on the Buendia bandwagon.
-
Buendia is first choice in our front four right now...by an absolute country mile.
-
Martinez with a calf problem
-
Yesss. Delighted for Emi B.
-
Not bad for 9 men
You beat me to it.
-
I was about to say what a good noise from our boys, then Emi does that!!!
-
Lovely goal from Emi. Now get a second.
-
That Buendia song is truly awful though.
Doesn't even fucking rhyme.
-
Great finish and from a player I've said would be a nightmare for the opposition if he learned to stay on his feet.
-
Hes looked good today - deserves his goal. Imagine if more then one of the 3 behind watkins could play well in the same game
-
I was 6 months pregnant the last time we scored at this ground!
-

Buendia needs a new song, adding his name in Funky Cold Medina.
-
So many people wrote emi b off: he was about to be the star of the season he got injured: that’s why he was picked and playing that day early in the season. Glad he’s proving the doubters wrong
-
That Buendia song is truly awful though.
Doesn't even fucking rhyme.
Leave my emi alone.
-
I was 6 months pregnant the last time we scored at this ground!
whereas I just looked it.
-
I was 6 months pregnant the last time we scored at this ground!
Belated congratulations!
-
Ffs ref.
-
You’d have got really good odds at the start of the season on Emi Buendia being our top scorer at the beginning of October.
-
Rogers did his normal fuck-up control to then lead to the goal. Weird three of our goals have come directly from him not doing something right.
-
I was 6 months pregnant the last time we scored at this ground!
And I will be the next time we win it!
-
Konsa has suddenly turned into Beckenbauer tonight
-
Well done Rogers, good work.
-
Bogarde and Malen coming on
-
Here comes Malen and Humphrey.
-
Used his foot and it went directly in. A big improvement on our last goal there
-
I was 6 months pregnant the last time we scored at this ground!
Belated congratulations!
Happy to say that she's a Villa fan too!
-
Buendia absolute class.
-
Great ball Rogers, should have done better Ollie.
-
Ollie come on lad
-
I was 6 months pregnant the last time we scored at this ground!
Belated congratulations!
Happy to say that she's a Villa fan too!
Surprised it was 6 months and not already born from being a champion winning celebration bonus.
-
I love Ollie but he’s never 100 percent on his toes hence he will never be a top top forward.
-
I've got a bit of cold black pudding I was saving for the game but scared to eat it now in case I change the luck.
-
I think we have played some great stuff at times. Rogers and Guessand have both been awful
-
Tenacious (Emi) B
PS I can see Guessand becoming our Joelinton. Forget about going forward anymore, just get in there and mess people up.
-
Really playing well now. If only we had finishers.
-
Rogers is looking sharper.
-
Tenacious (Emi) B
PS I can see Guessand becoming our Joelinton. Forget about going forward anymore, just get in there and mess people up.
Yes, he’s so involved
-
Wow. Guessand is truly wank.
-
Looking forward to seeing Buendia and Maalen.
-
Feyenoord are bringing Stevie G on. Oh no it’s someone called Slippy.
-
How, just how can he pass that to a Feyenoord player...baffling
-
I think we have played some great stuff at times. Rogers and Guessand have both been awful
Rogers hasn’t been in last 10 mins. He’s looking sharp again.
-
Shutting up shop it seems.
-
Do I see Rogers looking more dangerous and direct?
-
Wow. Guessand is truly wank.
Let’s hope it’s just a confidence problem as we surely can’t have made a £30m mistake could we
-
Erm...those aren't the two I would have subbed out...
-
Ah balls. He subbed Emi!! Dang it.
-
My commentator is bored of saying “given away by Rogers”
Yet he’s staying on the pitch.
-
Can not believe he is leaving the competition winner on.
-
Looking forward to seeing Buendia and Maalen.
Not today unfortunately.
-
2 players off who would not be my choice
-
buendia so much better than rogers and rogers still on
-
Ah balls. He subbed Emi!! Dang it.
Inevitable, defend what we have
-
Truly stupid fucking subs Emery.
-
And still Rogers stays on.
-
Erm...those aren't the two I would have subbed out...
It seems he wants you to play yourself out of the shit you played yourself into.
-
Taking off Buendia is a different shade of mental.
-
Truly stupid fucking subs Emery.
I’m just waiting for a goal from either of those two now…
-
Emery continuing his weird habit this season of taking off whoever’s having the best game.
-
Wow. Guessand is truly wank.
Let’s hope it’s just a confidence problem as we surely can’t have made a £30m mistake could we
How the hell could he have a confidence issue ?
-
Do I see Rogers looking more dangerous and direct?
That was a great throughball a few minutes ago that Ollie couldn't control. Really good actually.
-
Why he take off our best player?
-
He's saving Bendy and Ollie for Burnley.
-
And still Rogers stays on.
Well he’s started playing better.
-
Emery continuing his weird habit this season of taking off whoever’s having the best game.
Ref: PSG (H)
-
Emery continuing his weird habit this season of taking off whoever’s having the best game.
He doesn't like show offs
-
He’s far from his best, but some of the complaining about Rogers is ridiculous.
-
Truly stupid fucking subs Emery.
I’m just waiting for a goal from either of those two now…
It doesn't work if you say it!
-
And still Rogers stays on.
Well he’s started playing better.
And he still has the kompromat on Emery or someone else high up at the club.
-
Bogarde already made more successful passes than Rodgers
-
Truly stupid fucking subs Emery.
I’m just waiting for a goal from either of those two now…
It doesn't work if you say it!
We try so hard to educate people. Honestly, I don't know why we bother.
-
Rogers is single handedly destroying this club.
-
Buendia is a silky little Argentinian bulldog.
He's showed us loyalty too.
I'm firmly on the Buendia bandwagon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogo_Argentino
Emi is not big enough to be an Argentino. He's more like a Yorkshire Terrier sized Pitbull.
-
Why he take off our best player?
No idea Manuel.
-
Without wanting to tempt fate, I think it's noticeable in recent games how much Maatsen's defending has improved.
-
Bogarde already made more successful passes than Rodgers
I like Bogarde in midfield overall. He played well on Sunday.
-
Truly stupid fucking subs Emery.
I’m just waiting for a goal from either of those two now…

I didn’t even know he rapped.
-
Yeah, Maatsen and Konza have been really good. Great games for both.
-
Bogarde already made more successful passes than Rodgers
Rodgers isn’t playing.
-
Rogers is single handedly destroying this club.
Rubbish. Guessand is his wingman.
-
maatsen did ok tonight
-
Do you know what?
I can almost feel the first last-5-minute of a tight game Villa related Sphincter puckering of the season developing.
-
Yeah, Maatsen and Konza have been really good. Great games for both.
kiss of death
-
Maatsen replaced by Digne
-
Hopefully this is the turning point for Rogers, he's done some good stuff.
-
Yeah, Maatsen and Konza have been really good. Great games for both.
kiss of death
Frantically pissing in all four corners of the garden to offset this.
-
Can’t work out if cash or malen was utterly shit then
-
We're fucking woeful on the ball
-
Yeah, Maatsen and Konza have been really good. Great games for both.
kiss of death
Well not for one as Maatsen has gone off.
-
Bogarde already made more successful passes than Rodgers
Rodgers isn’t playing.
Sorry. It’s George Weah’s cousin wearing Morgz shirt
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Bogarde is looking really good since he came on, must be massive for him playing at 'home'.
-
Bogarde already made more successful passes than Rodgers
Rodgers isn’t playing.
I thought he was in the starting lineup with Watkings?
-
SJMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
-
It appears we are not bothering with the wings as everyone now playing in the centre
-
Yes!
-
Hopefully this is the turning point for Rogers, he's done some good stuff.
I must have blinked.
-
Giiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyy
-
Yes Donyell, played
-
Easy easy easy
-
Level with Shaw now for Euro goals.
-
SOOOO-PAH!...
-
2-0
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
-
Super John
-
SJM
-
It's sex o'clock.
-
McGinn and Buendia = goal machines
-
Malen superb then.
-
What a fucking move that was.
-
Get in! Lovely work from Pau and Malen.
-
Lovely.
-
well done Malen
-
SJMMMM!!!!
-
Thought Donyell had taken it too far then...
-
Pau superb.
-
Great from Pau to get it to Malen too
-
Bizot with the save!
-
That’s the difference Pau can make.
-
Some movement by McGinn there. Great out ball from Torres and super turn and run from Malen. Fortunate break obviously but watch McGinn's run.
-
Kiss of life btw! haha
-
SJM!!! Excellent work by Malen driving forward.
-
Brilliant play from Pau to start the move and a great direct run from Malen.
-
Pau superb.
just quality
-
Great save Bizot
-
Guessand looked distinctly unpressed at the goal.
-
Pau to Malen excellent there.
-
bizot wow
-
Never in doubt
-
Marco Bizot
-
Bizot booked for time wasting
-
Bizot……Motm …..easy
-
Superb blocking by Bizot there. Stay awake, boys
-
For SJM’s goal, Malen really perfected the SJM arse roll. Beautiful to see.
-
Could it be any easier ?
Well i'm putting this down to the fact Unai knows exactly how to win this competition, took Emi off for the Burnley game, I wouldn't even question why he's keeping certain players on to allow them to get some form going.
-
Brilliant Bizot
-
We play a decent team we'll ship in 5's and 6's on this form.
-
Bizot great stop. He's had a great game.
-
Unai booked
-
Super save from Bizot, as good as he has been when the ball has been on the floor tonight Konsa really is soft as shite in the air.
-
That’s the difference Pau can make.
The slating Pau got last season makes me cringe.
-
Great save Bizot.
One thing we need to do is stop switching off when we expect to get a decision.
-
Brilliant, just need Watkins to score now.
-
Unai booked
Not surprised that was criminal from the linesman
-
Bizot……Motm …..easy
He's been great but Torres is in the mix as well.
-
Torres really makes all the difference. Vital to the way we play.
-
That’s the difference Pau can make.
The slating Pau got last season makes me cringe.
I evidently rate Pau, but he was under par last year. He looks much more himself this year and it makes a huge difference.
-
Pau definitely one to play against weaker opposition
-
Until that throughball from Malen, that was such great football from us.
-
Start Torres and we start winning games, woulda thunk it.
-
If we win this one, it’s 3 in a row. Averaging 2 goals in a game again presently too.
-
Bizot……Motm …..easy
He's been great but Torres is in the mix as well.
Both have been superb tonight.
-
I think the team have given up on Guessand, only pass to him as a last resort. Don’t trust his first touch or his ability to read the flight of the ball.
-
Torres best game for ages, great vision for the outball. We look much better. Guessand still a bystander unfortunately. Bizot has been excellent.
-
That’s the difference Pau can make.
The slating Pau got last season makes me cringe.
He was crap last season. Looks back to his old self this year. Back ahead of Mings for me. Konsa looking as strong as I've seen him too. They look better as a pair.
-
Start Torres and we start winning games, woulda thunk it.
We’re much better with the ball when Pau and Kamara are playing.
-
Would you kiss John McGinn? I would, just on the cheek. Ruffle his hair too.
-
Start Torres and we start winning games, woulda thunk it.
We’re much better with the ball when Pau and Kamara are playing.
And Bizot instead of Martínez
-
I hate it when referees book both players involved in handbags when only one of them has done anything wrong.
It's a lazy cop out.
-
Start Torres and we start winning games, woulda thunk it.
We’re much better with the ball when Pau and Kamara are playing.
And Bizot instead of Martínez
Bizot has really impressed so far.
-
Lindelof at RB. Wasn't expecting that...
-
Would you kiss John McGinn? I would, just on the cheek. Ruffle his hair too.
You wouldn't get near. He'd hold you off with his arse.

And Bizot instead of Martínez
Bizot has really impressed so far.
Just so much calmer. Doesn’t antagonize the opposition etc

I wonder if we can actively look to move Martinez on now in Jan. Get a reliable back up for Bizot in
-
I think the team have given up on Guessand, only pass to him as a last resort. Don’t trust his first touch or his ability to read the flight of the ball.
He's been ok second half. Has won ball back high up the pitch a few times. Doesn't look like much of a footballer with the ball.
-
I actually think there’s a great player in Guessand. He just needs time… there’s something about him. I dunno…
-
SJM and Cash hitting the cocktails. Cheers!

Who is part time captain with no Emi, Mings and McGinn?

Is that a pat on the back for Monchi?
-
Kamara and McGinn turned up big time second half.

Kind of agree. Once he gets a goal

Konsa I'd assume

Went to Konsa when McGinn went off on Sunday

Kamara is our best player. We are better going forward with Torres playing - not as good defensively
-
Guessand will score a worldy soon.
-

I think getting used to the pace of the Premier League, and adapting into the new team etc…
Bailey was the same in season one. Flashes of brilliance, then a lot of fart with little shit. Then season 2 he was brilliant. Season 3, I don’t really know what he was.

It was Konsa last Sun
-
Toss-up between McGiniesta and Bizot for MOTM
-
Who is part time captain with no Emi, Mings and McGinn?
Konsa
-
I thought Emi was our MOTM, him or Bizot.
-
How long before Utd sniff around Bizot..
-
Guessand will score a worldy soon.
Haven't you got the memo, he's a waste, shite etc.

Ansolutely agree about Kamara. Consistently excellent.
-
Malen and Bogey have been decent.

I disagree, our defending is no worse with him in. He isn't as blood and thunder as Mings but his positioning is better this season.
-
Malen and Bogey have been decent.
Bogarde looking more mature every time he plays. Could be an important player for us this season.
-
Bizot or Torres for me. Emi had a very good game too.
-
Malen and Bogey have been decent.
Yes Bogarde is quietly turning into some player
-
I’m enjoying Malen’s work rate and runs tonight.

Bailey eviscerated Everton about five minutes after getting off the plane. I don't see that in Guessand whatsoever.
-
Guessand just passed it back for no reason.
-
Lindelof booked for trying the Matty Cash special
-

He’s quick and direct. Causes problems whenever he’s on the ball

He also did the same thing, in the same game, to his quad muscle after 10 minutes and was out for the next month or so!
-
This is some result, Feyenoord have been really good. I understand they've beaten some serious teams here recently. To come here and win and to control the second half as we have is brilliant.
-
That'll fucking do! One foot in the knockout stage already.

I'm just thrilled that those defensive statistics don't get posted a dozen times a day anymore.
-
That’ll do nicely. We win again in Rotterdam!

Haha very true. Subbed on and subbed off if I think.

Yeah, booted the ball so hard he injured himself.
-
Well that was very decent. Bizot was imperious and Burendia puts in another great performance with a goal too. Rogers still very poor and really needs a rest.
Well done Villa.

Fuck....that was bugging me...Sidders was it

Our result of the season. Some superb individual performances as well. Emi Martinez has some serious competition for the no1 spot now. Pau Torres was beyond immense.
-
Whisper it quietly but are we tentatively starting to get our Villa back?
I'm thinking of Kenny Swain and Nigel Spink going mad at the final whistle with the Villa fans...bet it's brilliant there at the moment!
