Aston Villa v Sunderland Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We're determined to chuck this away.

It's not ours to chuck away, James.

[JUAN PABLO]

albrighton to come on

[eastie]

Getting worse as the game progresses - dire stuff indeed.

[aj2k77]

Fucking make an example and get Benteke off he isn't trying.

[brontebilly]

I appreciate that you can't win 'em all, and you can't always play good football, sometimes you have to grind out a result and all that. And of course, we're in a transitional phase with a young squad.

But it would be really nice if now and again we could actually produce something other than utterly dire football for more than about 10 minutes of a match.

Two wingers? I hope so. It's not subtle, but the last effective side this club had was with two wingers under O Neill.

Benteke has to go off

[Irish villain]

If we are honest, we have been riding our luck for weeks.

[Jimbo]

Width?

This is the start of a tricky period for Lambert concerning the fans. He'shad it very easy so far. But 1 point or less today and the fans will be be booing and be demanding more,especially at home. I think that unless there's a marked improvement he'll lose the fans fairly quickly. 

[SamTheMouse]

Luna can't defend to save his life, can he?

[ez]

Weimann  off?

[Rigadon]

Luna is a hopeless defender.

[Fergal]

What has Benteke got to do to get subbed?
