Long time since I've been so nervous end of a Villa game.

If we had Messi and Ronaldo in the team we would lose 10-9.

The QPR switch to 352 has killed us and IT WAS SO FUCKING OBVIOUS. You do not play a diamond against 352. Ever.

Yep. That's another thing. Sherwood needed to react to their change to 3-5-2 much quicker. 3-5-2 always beats a 4-4-2 diamond.

Playing the diamond against Pulis' 3-5-2 gave us near-total dominance. 4-5-1/4-3-3 is the system which gives you the most advantages against the diamond, I think.

West brom played a narrow 442 in the first game.

Joe Cole's been better than Grealish.

They switched to it after they saw our team, IIRC. Would need to go back over that though.

Depends. Ramsey has used a very narrow version as starting point so it's been almost 2v5 at times. Almost been Barcelona like in 2 or 3 chasing down in that central zone = no time on the ball.

Christ of gabby hadnt been given that foul we'd have been in a lot of trouble

[Toronto Villa]

Poor result overall but I'm delighted with one point as opposed to zero. Benteke is a complete hero

Fuck me, I've aged 15 years!

This is QPR. They're shit. Shouldn't matter what formation they play. We shouldn't have to chane to suit them.

Without Benteke we'd be going down
