Portland Timbers v Aston Villa Combined Match Threads

[Toronto Villa]

We certainly like to keep the ball and not give it away. I like where we are going with this but we still need that bit of pace and quality.

[Edvard Remberg]

Yet again ! Amazing support for Stan!!

[Toronto Villa]

Nice standing ovation from the whole ground for Stan

[PeterWithesShin]

Nice response to the 19th minute.

[Edvard Remberg]

Fuck me!! they just showed the image of Stan the Man - and nothing on the field!! #RESPECT!

[Diablo]

I love the way the commentator breaks into an advert as if he's just  talking normally.

Good support for Stan from the crowd

[Olneythelonely]

We've been a bit cack so far. Bannan and Collins resorting to Hollywood 60 yard passes.

Nice 19 minute applause for Stan again.

[PeterWithesShin]

Bit of desperate defending then.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck me. A moment of 2011-2012 Villa then as we looked all at sea.

The game is live on the Timbers website gents.

[PeterWithesShin]

Was that our first official shot?

[Edvard Remberg]

Cack??

Are you sure?


From McLeish's mentalty . and we are CACK???

[Toronto Villa]

Was that our first official shot?

We certainly don't shoot nearly enough. It's been an issue for a couple of seasons now.

[Edvard Remberg]

Sorry you dudes! : this game is not about statistics. We are changing our mentalty and gameplan - which looks SOOO much more amazing

Nice 19 minute applause for Stan again.

The players have been on a week long tour across the US in 3 time zones and training in temperatures approaching 40 celsius for the most part. We are also missing a number of key players. They have played 3 teams in the middle of their seasons, we are in our pre-season. Oh and by the way, they are playing on an artificial pitch which is more taxing than a grass pitch and something they are not used to. Not excuses. Genuine reasons why they might look a little flat.
