WBA v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Legion]

No subs. Cries.

Sylla and Bacuna don't like being in possession of a football which is often a major disadvantage for a football team. Not good enough, nor will they be.

Bacuna is fine but the mistake has affected him, you don't go from scoring a belter like he did after a great burst through the middle to never being good enough in an hour of football.  Sylla looks well short of fitness and skill, if he's been training like this I can understand why KEA has played so often.

Yeah I get that Bacuna has that in his locker but he isn't comfortable on the ball in a typical situation. It isn't good to lack that standard level of technical ability.

He can improve with that but it does frustrate me how uncomfortable he looks dribbling and passing for a Dutch player, especially when you put the ball still on a dead ball and suddenly he turns into Ronaldo.

[Tuscans]

Be craaaazy and try a forward pass Westy.....I dare you

[DB]

He obviously thinks it is working. Shall we pack up now then?

[Goldie.7]

No subs wtf?

[ciggiesnbeer]

Oh thank god. Delph being shown set piece instructions.

[JUAN PABLO]

In fairness, the club is getting exactly what it has planned and budgeted for. Mid-to-bottom of the table drudgery.

fuck Ill take mid ;(

[Ross]

How to beat Villa. Press constantly. Wait for a fuck up. Repeat.

[Jimbo]

Remember, we don't get going in a half until we concede.

[SamTheMouse]

As far as I can make out, the main tactic is to whack it long to Benteke, who flicks it on to Kozak.

Now, although it makes me die a little bit inside, I can just about understand trying this tactic when the flick-ons are aimed into the path of Gabby. But what the yellow rubbery fuck is Kozak meant to do with 'em?

[Ross]

That passage there sums it up. Bacuna and Sylla are simply not nearly good enough.

[Rigadon]

What are we saving Gabby, Delph and to a lesser extent Weimann for exactly if not a game against our nearest league rivals?   It's mystifying. 

[Jon Crofts]

I still think there are 3 teams worse than us.  Just.  Only just.

[Axl Rose]

Waking up at 5 in the morning to watch this awful performance. Have to be at work at 9. It'll be a long day unless we get something from this game. Wake up Villa.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Bacuna is competitive. Not gonna let Westwood or Sylla take the shittiest player award today. Jesus.
