Sunderland v Aston Villa Match Thread

[devilla]

Can't see Sunderland scoring. They're tidy in midfield, having all the ball but up front there's nothing. Fletchers a player long past his best now and was only ever average. No cutting edge at all. Think we might have the 3 points here.

Maybe but you never know with Baker and Luna in Keystone kop mode.

[Summers]

If you're the Villa manager, and have one sub left to make and your options to take off include an injured Baker, and a close to getting sent off Delph.. who would you bring on for Weimann?

[Monty]

Well they don't look like scoring against us, but I wish we wouldn't keep giving them the chance to with our ball-hating attitude to football.

That's the trouble. If we gift them something on a plate, as they did with us, then they just might. But they look woefully short of confidence in the final third.
I'm just sensing Benteke might net one today. Well...more hoping than sensing.

Albrighton. ^

Who's the scot commentating?
He's getting on my nerves, keeps going on about 'contact'.
Since when was football deemed a non contact sport.

[Tuscans]

Pfffftt....a yellow for that!!!

[Boz]

We will not hold this we need a second and third here!

Defo.

One is not likely to be enough as we found out at Swansea

[CJ]

Silly foul by Bacuna

Heskey.

 I would probably give Albrighton a chance.
If Bacuna does one more stupid foul he will be off!

[ozzjim]

Bacuna was going to foul him as soon as he lost the ball. The booking was 2 tackles in 60 seconds.

good call, straight swap for Luna? We need a goal scorer

[CJ]

Pfffftt....a yellow for that!!!

Should have had one fro the previous foul and got warned by ref next time it's a yellow. Silly foul
