'Villa, four pints behind the Boro...'
Tonight we need to just one goal ahead they can keep 4 points lead till the weekend.

The goal is the thing of course!
And he did say 'pints'
Aha I thought it was a predictive text strike🙂

No he just doesn't like playing full 90 mins against Boro.

I'd have thought that as well.
But wouldn't steer you wrong, Aftab.

What a surprise "their centre halfs are their weak link".

Zero shots on target from us.

So is that's a library picture from our Next Gen champions league match a few years ago?

Not been terrible though and at least we are playing with a bit of energy.  Had a few good 'situations' (as Andy Townsend might say) but it just hasn't fallen for us.  Having Hutton and Bjarnason together on the left on their weaker side hasn't helped on the creative front!
