Aston Villa vs Stoke City Match Thread

[Legion]

Half-time is cringeworthy.

[PeterWithesShin]

Good job for us Stoke are shit. Good job for Stoke we're shit.

I've ended up in the Upper North today. Haven't been up here for about 15 years. Plus side, we've never lost when I've been up here. Admittedly this is only about the 5th time I've been up here.

Bring back bongo cam!

Stoke fans have managed to find the entrance to J15 and have brought more than their usual 1000 which will help the attendance, but it looks sub-30k.

I reckon revert to 4 at the back by taking off Lescott and also Sinclair bring on both Gil and Grealish. That will give Stoke something to worry about.

[Quiet Lion]

Utterly shit as expected.

No positives from that half at all

[aj2k77]

Any changes from McSherbert?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

What's going on then?

Two crap teams in an end to end game but without anything to get excited about. We've had a few throw-ins, even a corner and Crespo is sporting an extremely bushy beard. Stoke had a goal disallowed because the scorer has a really twattish bun on his head.

Stoke blame their shiteness on injuries to key players, we're blaming the ridiculous team selection. Only positive is our bench is ace.

World class sporting performances at Villa Park this week. Then Villa and Stoke turn up and it's back to normal.

[JUAN PABLO]

Come on jack

[mattjpa]

Formation is wrong for me. We're creating very little

[olaftab]

Grealish on for Lescott

[Chris_Jephcott]

Grealish for Lescott

[Phatboy]

I like Amavi but he seems to have gone off the boil lately. Not taking players on so much and very few crosses at all. I like all our French players but they are being held back by clueless tactics and poor players. Every time Hutton bombs down the wing all I see are 5 stoke shirts running back and 3 fucking claret and blue mannequins... On the halfway line.

[Tuscans]

Grealish for Lescott....probably in the same position too.
