Walsall vs Aston Villa Pre-season friendly

[Toronto Villa]

Gabby how is it even possible to shoot that far over when you've got the ball under control?

you just got done by one of those magician's illusions.

I think he meant the shot was so far off target it is now in the possession of Tony Moon in Italy

I'm not really watching, cheers. Why isn't he in Middlesbrough? What else have missed?

What position is Bacuna playing today? Does Lambert pick it out of a hat game to game?

[Matt Collins]

I don't really understand how we didn't score then

Delph a complete class apart with no Vlaar or Benteke on the pitch

All in all a decent workout and we look competent. But pretty blunt up front. I'm not really sure there's a team we can put out at the moment that would correct that.

Who knows but he's been slowing the game down way too much.

[Toronto Villa]

bloody hell. It really shows when your main striker is out and then his back up what we're ultimately left with to finish off chances. We've done ok in the build up but with no finishing at all.

[Pete3206]

Meh

[jwarry]

Interesting to see Zog and Jack on the pitch at the same time.  Made us almost look PL!

[Jockey Randall]

An encouraging display in terms of our ball retention but we should have won that by a few more. N'Zogbia being back is going to be a big plus in terms of our attacking play but I can't see us scoring many until Benteke or Kozak are back.

[ciggiesnbeer]

We looked solid but toothless. Thats a step up. I will take it.
