Sunderland v 'The Mighty' Aston Villa Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

I'll be honest I'll happy with 4 and disappointed at the same time. Is that possible?

yep. I remember going to one of John Gregorys first games as boss, 3-0 up really quickly vs Palace but didn't score again the whole of the match. Was so disappointed. Matt Jansen scored a cracker for them.

[Keeno]

Very interesting. Sanchez at CB. a way to incorporate our best passers into one side?!

[Hampshire Villa]

Sanchez for Clarke??

[Proposition Joe]

Clark off to protect him from a booking apparently.  That's the kind of overconfidence that can come back and bite you.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Obviously Sherwood has decided we are being too defensive. Needs more attack

[DrGonzo]

Tim Sherwood: "So that's water into wine sorted, now for my next trick, Sanchez into a centre back, bare with me..."

[CJ]

Sensible sub again from Sherwood. With no recognised defenders fit important Clark didn't pick up a yellow and a 2 match ban today

[Matt Collins]

So Clark isn't injured just precautionary?

[Ryu]

Great to see us staying positive in the second half. Delph spraying passes like petrov, n'zogbia running rings round players and bacuna doing an impression of cafu down the right.  I can't believe it!

[JUAN PABLO]

bit harsh that

[brontebilly]

Nzogbia has taken too much out of the ball in the second half, Gabby going ballistic with him a few times

[CJ]

There again...

[Deano's Mullet]

Only six goals in the 3pm Premier League games and Aston Villa have scored four of them. Love it.

[manic-road]

 I wonder how the Hawthorns reacted to the half time score announcements.   

[Hampshire Villa]

good call then!
