Maybe we're trying to keep it as it is until late on and then have a go for an equaliser.

A cunning plan

[Malandro]

I'd have had Benteke on bench for 5 min run out.

I wouldn't. After the injury he had there is no point trying to bring him back too soon.

[Axl Rose]

We're pretty awful to watch, so boring. Keep the ball when we get it, scrap this one up front nonsense,close fabregas down.....cleverley looks knackered.
The team is defending well but jesus Lambert, inject some creativity into the team. Delph looks classy.

Come on Villa!

Nope

[PeterWithesShin]

A worry is they've said a few times on the radio that we're looking tired. Are we?

[Malandro]

I'd have had Benteke on bench for 5 min run out.

Nope

If he can run around, not sure why a 10 min spell would hurt

Because it might crock him again.

I think the management and medical staff of Aston Villa would be better placed to make that decision, having worked with the player for the last few months. They obviously feel he's not ready.

[Jimbo]

We're still so wasteful.

[Tuscans]

What a boring game

[Ron Manager]

Not bad but we need to find some kind of threat. Our passing is quite good.

I must admit I always shouted 'gamble' during Bullseye.

We are the worst and most boring team in the league
