Aston Villa v Birmingham City - Match Thread

[ez]

Yessss villa

[brontebilly]

Ayew is looking pretty lively!

yep, bit of bite about him too, badly needed

great header from Gestede, been brutal so far but made the finish look easy

another assist for Amavi

[Legion]

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Monty]

Well, he's largely been complete arse, but he can definitely head the ball in the goal. We've deserved that. Much, much improved.

Rudy! Rudy! Rudyehhhh!

[The Left Side]

That'll do Rudy

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Finally.

[RonBurgundy]

Criminal not to start with Grealish......

Absolutely, he's making us tick.

[TopDeck113]

Get in!!!

[PaulWinch again]

Good lad Rudy.

[citizenDJ]

That's it! That's the way you play to Gestede's strengths! Crosse from deep aren't any use to him, but whipped in from the sideline and he will smack 'em in all night long!

Excellent!

[ozzjim]

Can we get Sanchez on for Sinclair now please?

[Monty]

Criminal not to start with Grealish......

Absolutely, he's making us tick.

We absolutely need to appreciate that we have a really special talent there. This is not your average alright/let's-hope-he's-good youth product, this is the real thing.

[SamTheMouse]

See, we didn't get any crosses in during the entire first half. Now Amavi produces a pearler, and Gestede actually does something useful!!!

[Havencheese]

Finish them off now, stuff a couple more in and put these scumbags away for another five years.
