FC Groningen vs Aston Villa

[PeterWithesShin]

Good block from Baker.

[garyshawsknee]

Clark and Baker still shouldn't be anywhere near a top flight first team.

[paulcomben]

Those Texan football teams must be mighty bad.

[Ron Manager]

Thank god I can't tune in. I would be even more depressed than I am am just reading the thread!

[JPartington]

Clark and Baker still shouldn't be anywhere near a top flight first team.

Correct. The chuckle brothers.

[richl]

Its because we have shorts on. Oh and we ain't very good

[ciggiesnbeer]

Honestly Ron I am getting the impression Lambert is using this as a training session for some formation. We have been playing very very deep when defending with almost no gap between defense and midfield. It is a very odd shape we have. It must be deliberate.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We really are crap. Absolutely clueless with and without the ball.

[Goldie.7]

We are a truly awful side in possession.

[PeterWithesShin]

3-0 down in a friendly and all 11 back defending in open play

[pauliewalnuts]

I can't believe anyone really thinks we don't still need to add several players, better ones than those we already have, rather than more of the same old guff.

[olaftab]

Can't believe we are under so much pressure. The ball has not left Villa half for the last 10 minutes or so.

[pauliewalnuts]

Encouraging stats.

Successful passes: Groningen 466, Villa 231.

[Morten]

Clark and Baker still shouldn't be anywhere near a top flight first team.

Correct. The chuckle brothers.

Nor should Bennett, Luna or Stevens. We really do have some bad left footed defenders. All 5 of them have been tried as left back. 

[Gregorys Boy]

I can't believe anyone really thinks we don't still need to add several players, better ones than those we already have, rather than more of the same old guff.

Don't remember anyone saying that to be fair.  The only real debate seems to be which areas need the most attention.
