Aston Villa v Swansea City Match Thread

[Edvard Remberg]

MA crosses have been an improvement

[ozzjim]

Also, the early goal killed our game plan, as we needed them to come onto us a little more, and they never needed to.

[Matt Collins]

atmospher shockng all game too

[Jimbo]

Poor all over.

[Edvard Remberg]

Marc has def helped the attack. And Warnock has recovered from his shock performance

[Toronto Villa]

It really doesn't help at all that we are utterly wank at attacking from corners and free kicks. That's 11 corners. Shocking.

Why are the crowd swallowing this sh*t week in week out. Boos lasting a couple of seconds after the half-time and final whistles do not give a strong enough message that this is f***ing unacceptable

[eastie]

We looked far better in the last 3 games without bent and with gasbby leading the line, much better balance then!

[Boz]

Just seen the stats. Villa 11 corners Swansea 0, Shots on target Villa 1 Swansea 3, (scored 2).

Unless Ireland is tired after two games in two days.

He didn't much like it, he was still our most lively player on the pitch, and he could be rested in the Cup anyway, so he'd have nearly two weeks without a game.

Yep. AM is a genius for persevering with him one day then clueless for taking him off two days later when we're 0-2 down.

[The Left Side]

We just look short of ideas, we hold onto the ball in our half and then lump it up when no one is open, we need to learn to be patient.

It really doesn't help at all that we are utterly wank at attacking from corners and free kicks. That's 11 corners. Shocking.

If you're shit at scoring from AND defending set pieces you've got a togh job on your hands to win games.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd take Petrov off and put Gardner or even Fonz on. May as well try something!

[KevinGage]

Is that right, this would be Swansea's first win on the road this season?

They've outplayed us, but with a record like that, if we get a goal back they could get nervous.

[Villanation]

We need a goal, we need a goal ffs
