Aston Villa vs Sunderland Match Thread

[Summers]

Sylla the weak link big time.

His energy and tackling has been good, but he's a bit clueless with the ball. Wish KEA was playing instead.

[PaulWinch again]

Guzan got away with that there.

[PaulWinch again]

Actually maybe not.

phew, heart failure time

Every bloody time the ball comes near our box, we look like conceding. Dear me...

Guzan was clattered without question!

We do, that's why we need 3 more goals.

Osbourne>Sylla.

His touch isn't great for a French player. Maybe I'm just thinking of Ribery and Zidane a bit too much but you'd expect better. He looks more athlete than footballer and surely we've got a few like that coming through our youth set up.

[ozzjim]

Baker just headed that straight to Johnson!? Wake up mate!

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking daft foul there Baker.

[Rigadon]

3 minutes?  Huh?

Was just going to make the same point.  He's energetic enough, but technically looks like a more limited NRC.

[Ross]

With Sunderland deliberately all beyond our back 4 at free kicks, why don't we just hold our line and raise arms?

He's the other half of Berson. Berson could pass the ball to anywhere from anywhere, but couldn't tackle. Sylla can tackle and run but can't pass.

[Dave Cooper please]

Three goals and the injury to Lowton.
