Aston Villa v Swansea City Match Thread

[ez]

How many times are they going to be able to take a short corner with us having just one defender there.

[Jimbo]

STOP BLOODY HOOFING IT!

They are so easy on the eye to watch Swansea. Lovely football to watch.

Anyone got a rough idea how much this Swansea side cost to put together ?

[Tuscans]

Every team comes to Villa Park knowing they're going to win these days

I hope everyone watching this who ever advocates 4-4-2 is now seeing the futility of playing like that. It's not bad if you want to be defensive, dig in, frustrate and counter, but if you want to have a lot of the ball and go toe-to-toe with an opponent, especially one like Swansea, you just can't fucking play it.

they look like a solid prem team at mo


we look like a 15th place championship team


good ole doug

[Ozzjim]

It would help if they passed to each other a few times though Montbert.


I bet we have touched the ball about 5 times since they scored!

[Morten]

Luna is always so far away from his man, why not just close down space right away

It's not the formation, it's the style. We need to push up and press them. Any formation is shit if you have everyone in your own third except for your strikers.

Deadly's looking well bless him. He's probably wishing he had his finger on the trigger still.

[JUAN PABLO]

[Nii Lamptey]

[Jimbo]

They are in complete control.

It's all of that and a lack of quality players...
