WBA v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Bad English]

48 games, and we can play a 49th if we score a goal and they don't. Piece of piss really.

[KRS]

Too many players hiding, not involved or just not at the races. We seriously need to up our game in the second half and create some chances...just throwing aimless crosses into the box is no way to try and score against their back five. Just like the first leg, all the possession in the world is useless if we're too slow, not creating or providing a threat on their goal. They have us in their pocket at the moment. Step the fuck up Villa.

[Smithy]

We've not played well - at all - but we've still had them chasing us all over the shop, which is going to leave them tiring in the 2nd half. Need to get Jack on the ball in the final third more and would like to see a few more balls into Tammy's feet.

On the plus side, we can't play any worse in the 2nd half, can we?

[Rudy65]

Green is just not up to it.

Totally agree. Needs a change now with Albert coming on.

Kodjia for me. AA has been poor for ages. At least Kodjia will give their defenders something to think about

Be brave Dean go for it

I'm counting on this.

[jwarry]

Have to say Roseniors punditry is spot on ‘Will it be a set piece from WB or a bit of quality from Av’

[dicedlam]

Tammy worse than green in my opinion. Provided absolutely nothing
They are fired up more than us

Tammy shouldn't be doing the providing. That is the job of both Green and El Ghazi.

Kodjia for me too.

Playing as if it a pre-season friendly. Smith will be ripping into them no doubt.

[PaulWinch again]

Green needs to do something if he stays on.

[thick_mike]

We look like we are trying to stroll through a fist fight. Got to up the effort second half or we will get turned over

[Risso]

Why start with Green? Ludicrous from Smith.

[brontebilly]

Mark my words...this ref will fuck us over.

Appears to have bought into the Villa are divers bandwagon alright.

[Dave]

SJM - not much
Jack - not much
Taylor - fuck all
Green - fuck all
Hourihane - fuck all
Tammy - fuck all

Elmo and AEG only two bright spots for me.

Maybe we should have got the rest of the squad to fast as well.

[hilts_coolerking]

I have full faith in Dean to say what needs to be said.  Which is, fucking get on with it.
