Aston Villa vs Fulham Championship Play-Off Match Thread.

[SoccerHQ]

This match up has been as bad as I feared.

Not on level of 2015 but from the 20th minute Fulham been much better. Composure, control etc.

We do look like an old one paced team out there. Just can't believe every time we play a final at Wembley we play the same lax underdog style, it's not working.

Would get Kodjia on at half time. Just get some more pace and unpredictability up there. I honestly don't think this Fulham back 4 is that great but we've made it far too easy for them with our long balls.

If we wait past the hour mark we'll probably be 2 down.

Onomah on to give us some energy.

Fulham boss been proved right we look old and tired ,no spark in our play lack of ability to control the ball which has been evident most of the season to be honest

Grabben has to come off , in this formation we need Kodji who at least might bring some individual magic to the game for us ..

 

[JUAN PABLO]

disppointed in snodgrass..  he should have put a pass to Albert

houriane having one of his westwood games

Grabban might as well go get an ice cream

defence has been lucky its not 2 - 0 to them



We needed one of those decisions to get back into it because  open play we are miles away

but we are still in it but christ almighty - SORT THE FUCK OUT

[ez]

I think Bruce came for the penalty shoot out.

[PaulWinch again]

Piss poor so far.  And we're going to need to change the habits of an entire season if we're going to get back into this.

Yep we never turn around from this type of shit.

Onomah on to give us some energy.

Would get Bjarni on. Him and Kodjia on at half time. We can't afford to wait much longer second half as Fulham will stick another in.

Not shots on target and corners so far so just like 2015! Unbelievable what happens to us when we step onto the turf at Wembley. That Liverpool game was just  mirage.

[Axl Rose]

Not going at all well. How on earth has their right back not been sent off???
Fuming so far

Come on Villa

[KRS]

Absolute garbage. Lucky to still to be in it. Villa fans are here, but the players haven’t turned up. We’re playing Fulham not fuckin Barcelona. If we’re not good enough to beat these then we don’t deserve it.

[villa_cads]

Onomah on to give us some energy.

We certainly need someone to carry the ball forward.

[Damo70]

Another Wembley final when our opponents should have had a man sent off. Having said that we have been piss poor. I thought the experience in our side (age, caps, big game knowledge) would give us the edge over Fulham's relative inexperience but they have looked composed and we have looked the nervous team.

[oldham_villa]

I’d stick two up top and would sacrifice Albert. If Snoddy doesn’t shape up, I’d replace him with Onomah

Simply need to place them under more pressure

[SoccerHQ]

Jedinak's the only one who's stepped up and done his job well imo.

Jack's been on the ball a lot but far too deep, we need him closer to Grabban as Fulham will take him on the ball all day inside our half.

[OzVilla]

We look 2nd best everywhere tbf. Snodgrass has been really poor I think and every time Grealish gets the ball he’s fouled. We just can’t get into the game as an attacking force. Albert off for Kodj and we need to put these under pressure more or it’ll be over very quickly.

[Flamingo Lane]

What was Bruce doing on the touchline, 5 yards from where Grealish was trampled on?  Nothing.
