Gestede is a complete carthorse. If we do one thing the next week it has to be getting a striker in. He is terrible, technically one of the worst Strikers I've seen down Villa and as mobile as a postbox.

Looks like Tish and Gardner getting a half each as an audition
and somehow Westy stays on.  Managers must see something in him but I'm blowed if I can see it

Agree. Can't see him having much impact.

On this basis it's going to be a long tedious season.

1-1. Gollini should've done better. Parried it straight to Negredo.

Aly with a great slide pass assist. Saw Gollini's highlights in youtube, did a lot of palming shots back in play.

The only thing to his game is getting on the end of crosses, which is a problem because he's too slow to get on the end of crosses
