AFC Bournemouth v Aston Villa - Match Thread

Im watching the Irish coverage and fucking Lambert is on

[Toronto Villa]

It would be really nice to see us play in their half a lot more in the next 45 minutes.

I thought Talksport were just Anti-Villa but looking at the comments we are poor. They said Amavi looks a very poor player? This was always going to take time to be honest so I would definitely take a draw here. Very surprised Gabby has started on his own upfront?

R5 saying he has been our best player. These radio pundits know jack shit, don't listen to them.

On the down side: that was pretty shit, I get the feeling we might have another season of not scoring many goals.

On the positive side: Veretout has seen plenty of the ball, Richards looks good.

Only the first game of the season, mind.

Anyone else's feed go to the Everton match for the end of their first half? They were getting very loudly booed off.

Booing the team in the first game of the season? What bastards. Scum. Subhuman scum. Hope the media slaughter them.

I bet Martinez has never heard booing at half time in the first game of the season, either.

Oh, hang on .....

Lambert putting in his 10 pence worth on Setanta.....fuck off mate

Yes I saw that too and I agree with you. Oh he's on again. That voice really grates on me.

It's just going to be one big bukake fest all season over Eddie Howe and how marvellous he is.

Yes, I got the impression we're in for a lot of that this season as well.

It is understandable, really, but it is going to start to grate pretty quickly.

Paul Lambert "Villa have been pedestrian and have given away too much possession."

You cheeky, cheeky fucking turd.

[Legion]

Nowhere showing the game. Quite pleased about that now, even though I'm knackered after wasting the best part of an hour looking for somewhere.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We're lucky not to be at least 2 nil down. Guzan with a couple of great saves and a shocking miss have saved our blushes.

I'm really struggling to see what we're trying to do. Asolutely no service up front, we're pushed wide and we produce nothing from it.

Hopefully we can improve second half and actually have a shot on target.

Just seen Albrighton put in 2 fantastic crosses for Leicester. We need to do the same.

I'm not sure what we were all expecting. Think most of us realised that with a huge change in personnel and an early start to the season we were pretty unlikely to be a really cohesive unit.

Bournemouth are full of confidence at home first game of the season, we're 0-0. Not good but not the time for wrist-slitting.

Another failed manager telling others how to do it

[brontebilly]

dreadful deliveries x 2 from Westwood there

mistake each from Richards and Clark could have cost us two goals earlier. Both really bad ones, Richards standing and watching the chance develop with his hands in the air was shocking. Clark trying to play offside for the second one, kind of mistake a new centre back partnership might make. Bonkers yellow card from Clark to finish the half off and Guzan has to make another save afterwards.

Last 15 mins, they were all over us and they should be at least 1 ahead. The half passed Ayew by and Im not sure what position Veretout is supposed to be playing. He seems to be far too deep to influence the game.

Wouldnt be surprised to see Gestede and even Cole come on at the break and for us to go a bit more direct second half. Bit Lambert esque from us as the half went on, unnecessary passing back and forth to the keeper good for the possession stats but not much else. We are trying to play Bournemouth on their terms, lets stick Gestede up there and play off him instead of trying to play through Bournemouth. Not sure if its just the camera angle but it seems a very tight pitch.

[ROBBO]

We've had enough posession but no forward line, no shot Villa again. Early days but i hope Gabby isn't a regular starter.

[boboonthecorner]

Yes it is. I'm not who the commentators are but they are utter wankers. Totally biased, totally unprofessional. They sound like two pissed up punters watching the game on Sky in the pub.
