Walsall v Aston Villa Humongous Thread

[warleyboy]

Delete my defensive frailties thread, I was talking bollox...

And Gary Gardner is a LEGEND...

[dave shelley]

I hope he brings this lot to Dublin on Sunday, I can't wait.

[Quiet Lion]

Well we certainly knocked it about well today, so nice to be playing 'the right way'.

Yup, they are warming up nicely for Sunday.
I can't wait.

Today is clean sheet day 

there's always one prick out there who is intent on jinxing things. Only kidding murfee but you know you're going to take it in the nexk when we concede later in the game.

bravo sir, the jinx has been broken

Clean sheet. Christmas has come early.

Nice display. Great footy again. Our attackers look menacing. The youngsters did well again. Nicely taken goal from Grealish. Gabby, Wiemann and Benteke play so well together. They all look menacing today. Gabby was exceptional.
Helenius looks a clever player. He dropped off effectively when he came on and linked play well. Involved in the 3rd and 4th goals.

Karim has played well in the last two games. He's sharper with the ball, far more incisive with it. He could be a player. Our midfield selection against Arsenal will be interesting. Westy is a given but any two from Delph, Sylla and KEA could play. Gardner has staked a claim too to be fair. Great to see this much competition in our side.

Tony Moon looks decent. I fancy him to be a cult favourite like Freddy Bouma.

Top notch.

Lads, how did Bacuna play tonight.
Also who was man of the match for us.

[Jockey Randall]

I bloody love watching villa under Lambert.

[Marlon's Hairy Wood]

Grealish has impressed me far more in these little bits in pre season than Carruthers and Burke have

[Des Little]

Loving the clean sheet. Let's party!

[Villafirst]

One world class free kick doesn't make up for a possible 90 minutes of being outplayed. He just lost out then through lack of pace when it should have been his ball.

FFS Chill, it's still pre-season! Far too early to be judgemental.  It'll take him a few more games to get up to speed. According to some on here Sylla was crap on his debut and was written off straight away. IT TAKES TIME!!!

Bacuna did ok MOM between Gabby and Delph for me

[JUAN PABLO]

we must be still second in the league. Fantastic

Bacuna was okay. I think he'll be adequate cover at RB. It would seem he's 2nd choice at the moment. Herd would probably be naturally better cover there, but not sure Lambert will put him at right back ahead of Bacuna.

MOM was probably Gabby. He was on fire the lad and his goal was Dalian-esque.
