Match thread - Minnesota Utd v Aston Villa

[Ducksworthy]

One thing I have noticed (maybe I’m not paying the most attention) is that they don’t piss about with things like trying to move their free kicks or throw ins forward five feet every time they get one or rolling around which is refreshing.

McGinn and Barney look good. The rest of the midfield and front players look very average at this stage.

[KRS]

I don’t like to write players off but I just don’t see how we can carry BB and Lansbury in midfield this season unless they are brought in for cup games.

Until now BB has been impressive. Reads the game very well.

I really want him to do well but he just doesn’t impose himself enough on the game for my liking, and always seems to have a costly mistake in him.

[Toronto Villa]

Ooooh close by Chezzie

[KRS]

Shush! We’re about a minute behind you TV! 😝

Fans posing for photos with the match ball...that’s a new one!

[Ducksworthy]

Why keep the match ball when you can just lob it about for ten minutes and waste time? These lot have a lot to learn.

[CT Villan]

Shot from Green...throw-in to Minnesota !!

[KRS]

Gash from Green.

[Toronto Villa]

HENRIIIIIIII!

[Toronto Villa]

Brilliant run and cross by Freddie who has been excellent

[Ducksworthy]

HENRIIIIIIII!

Because I suspect this is often this other way round I am willing to forgive this but we are all about two minutes behind!

[D.boy]

That was liquid gravy

[JD]

Great play by Freddie and a good finish.

[Hillbilly]

Guilbert looks good - cracking cross - even Lansbury couldn’t miss that. BB has been tidy.
