Aston Villa vs Stoke Match Thread

If you loan players, you have to play them. Otherwise they get really arsey about it. But it is harsh on Bennett.

No you don't .we have a bone fide squad member who had a big confidence boosting game last week.we should play him ahead of a player who may never play for us again after the season ends.

I had a treble today of Villa, spurs and rangers.
Do I cash out before kick off or plough on!?
Come on you villa boys

COYVB! Bit harsh on Albrighton after his good stuff last week, but Weimann was also good so could plausibly go either way.

I'm just so relieved that a nice mid-table affair with almost no pressure on the game will grace VP for the first time since MON (pretty much). We're not out of it, but hopefully the relative lack of pressure on the players can help them give an entertaining performance.

It's all on Westwood for me - when he plays well, we do.

You know that how? Are our forwards and their forwards not playing?

Stoke will stifle the game and we struggle to break teams down who sit back.

Just like we struggled against Norwich .

Now, I'm not saying we're suddenly Barca, but that Norwich game did look a bit like a turning point.

I hate Geoff Shreeves with a passion. He's like a broken record with his mundane obvious questions.

[JUAN PABLO]

I thought this was the easiest of the three games   (  norwich chavski and this )

so we are bound to lose

3-0  Villa

[Tuscans]

Would love a rip-roaring (never used that word ever) game, something like Cardiff v Liverpool or Chelsea v Arsenal yesterday with us victorious. Something to liven Sundays up.

[Tuscans]

Come on Villa....

[Tuscans]

Good gloves Gab, must be playing in goal today!! 

[VillaAlways]

Get In !!!!

Lovely goal, great passing movement. Delph murders defence and Benteke batters it in.
