Aston Villa v Fulham Match Thread

[Bad English]

Shat meself just then.

[RonBurgundy]

Of that was a bottom clencher

[Toronto Villa]

The worry is, it is half time and we have played well first half without scoring. Will we manage to play well for 90 minutes?

Ozz, Everyone on here, at Villa Park and wherever around the world is wondering and fearing the exact same thing.

[D.boy]

Bloody hell that was close.

Right let's hope Mcleish doesn't have one of his customary half time disaster team talks.

We have to find a way to playing to his strength then, rather than tossing it in the box.

It would help Gabby if the 'other' winger tried and attack the far post more often, plus Ireland also needs to try and get into the danger area.  As it is, Gabby often has three defenders around him.  An extra body in there would at least give them someone else to think about.

That's not a criticism of today's Ireland, I think he has been superb, arguably tracking back too much if anything.  He's everywhere.

Spot on.

[Matt Collins]

Really good performance in many ways, but I don't fancy us scoring much, that's the problem.

Think we may need to see Weimann at some point.

Lol.... he is going to tear strips off them for going forward.


Would like to see Weimann on in the second half at some point alongside Gabby maybe when/ if Ireland tires.

Last week, I think our midfield ran out of gas. I don't think he told then to go and defend. Coupled with a fragile confidence we witnessed the inevitable.

They did, but then after that you hope he will learn the lesson and change things early if need be.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If we play the way we did first half, attacking the Holte, the place will be rocking.

We completely dominated that, just need to show a bit more creativity and confidence in the final third.

Who do we have on the bench?

[Fergal]

It's the only kind he knows

[Villanation]

We look a lot better up front than they do, think we may just nick this...

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Another Villa game and again I'm sat on the sofa watching fighting my eyelids to stay awake. The bits I haven't been asleep in we look like we are playing ok, but need to get a goal.

Come on Villa keep me awake for the second half and pop one in the onion bag.

He was clapping as he walked off
