Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

Just fucking win Villa please.

We do seem to be getting a little overrun in midfield. I'm not sure how Gabby managed to get himself picked, but whatever he did in training must have been better than what he has managed here so far.

I think with Gil, Sinclair and Benteke we have a strong enough front three, so I'd tae Agbonlahor off and stick Westwood in the midfield.

Just fucking win Villa please.

This is precisely how my frontal lobes function with regard to football matters.

I wasn't directing it at you, but still to see people actually bitching about a players misplaced pass or a mistake, drives me nuts. Human beings on the pitch, not animated pixels on the tv. First game in charge his formation is being condemned ( that is aimed at you )   

Fair enough, but people can complain I think. The language was a bit much.

Also, it could be his first game in charge or his 500th, why shouldn't I talk about the formation? FWIW, I think it has left us looking open, getting bullied in midfield and not having enough passing options in the middle which results in the hoof to Benteke (actually, hoof to the opposition). I like some things about us - more intensity, more chasing, better pressing up the pitch - but not everything, and the good things have still only resulted in one actual shot.

The language, pot kettle sunshine....have you seen what was put when they equalised...and what you wrote.

I didn't direct it at anyone though. Other than Villa. And the football gods.

Right, if we win this I'm getting a Villa gilet.

Point taken....no more calling people shits.

If Gabby was on fire in training, who's stolen his Swan Vestas?

[kippaxvilla2]

Just joined I feel physical sick.

My stream for this is pretty annoying today, commentary a good way ahead of the picture and fairly frequent need to reload.

No problem, mate.

Now, where's that second goal...

[Tuscans]

Oooh that's a lush stat, we've scored only 3 times in the 2nd half of a league game

[PaulWinch again]

Guzan that was just pointless and dense.

[Risso]

Hmmm, shaky start to this half

Mine too. I'm going to give up, I think
