Great save.

[Toronto Villa]

We are starting to look jaded. Need the HT whistle

[Toronto Villa]

HT 1-0

Faded a bit toward the end, but we've already got more about us.

Working harder to win the ball back further up the field, pressing as a team, looking to keep it on the deck and move the ball quicker.

McGinn and Grealish are playing further forward, and Bjarnesson is mopping up behind them.

It's not revolutionary, but we look much more cohesive.

You'd almost think that they'd been coached to a game plan.

It is for the Villa of earlier this season

There is no magic wand. This is still Bruce’s squad with a lot of Bruce habits. So it will take time for Dean to get us playing the way he wants for 90 minutes. But there early signs of improvement. Defensively we look more discipline which is a huge plus. In midfield we’ve been decent going forward but giving it away too much, especially McGinn. Up front a bit predictable and still just not enough shots on goal. So a decent first half with loads to work on and improve.

We need time - but looks better

[Villa in Denmark]

Should have been 2-0.

[Edvard Remberg]

How the fuck did Jack not score twice

[PeterWithesShin]

Fucks sake Jack!

[Edvard Remberg]

Should have been 2-0.

3-0

[Iamkmkm]

Sounds like we have been playing really well, long may it continue!

[PaulWinch again]

I worry when we miss these chances, come on Villa.

[Sexual Ealing]

Has the ref got a fucking whistle?
