Aston Villa v Crystal Palace match thread

here's a shock, no ones picked up my seat for this on Viagogo

The club facebook page was telling people to arrive early to avoid the queues.

He's gone for the rather not lose approach than try to win. Keep it tight and maybe pinch a goal. If not fist pump the 0-0 and go again.

How Cleverley and Weimann continue to start, McGrath only knows. More of the same I fear. UTV.

I don't understand it . Both championship footballers who we would never miss .  How andi starts ?? His finishing ,control and brain are not working at the moment. So predictable

[supertom]

Aside from putting Bacuna in, that's a disappointing lineup. Cleverley is shit. Weimann is long overdue dropping and Gabby you just live in the hope he has one of his good games in 10.

I would hope we'll see Grealish come on early if he's needed. Theres no creativity in that side. The sooner Lambert realises Gabby and Weimann aren't creative players (or goalscorers) the better.

If you can't go a little bit more attacking against Crystal Palace at home, then you never will.

Very true, Risso

[JUAN PABLO]

Dropping N'Zogbia shows some sign of progress.

He was shit against Sunderland but actually still better than andi

So predictable Andi and gabby zzzzzzzzzzzz

must be a good roast hog van I imagine

Lambert has turned into TSM and is almost scared to be attacking and adventurous. The defence is playing well enough to keep the score down so why by so conservative in attack? Today should have presented a good opportunity to "have a go" so to speak. Like others, I expect the creative players to be thrown on more in desperation than as a tactical move in the last 20min or so.

With Lambert more like the last 10 minutes, when there's no chance as we're already losing.

Ironically it was one of Insonmias better games, but he was still shit.
