I'm pretty happy with that half, it shows what we can expect from the top half sides in the season and has shown that we can compete with them and create scoring chances without giving up any clear cut chances for them.

Jack, Anwar and SJM look a bit nervy in possession. Conor, Tyrone and Engels doing well, but Jota is my pick for best player in the 1st half.

The commentator is so bad I'm finding myself pining for Captain Jack, I think I need help.

Flat. No tempo at all. Full backs too happy to go backwards, little through the middle and zero for Wesley to work with so far.

It's been alright.

Acquitting ourselves very well against Champions League opposition. Bring on the new season, we have nothing to fear.

Lol. It’s bad, is it that bad?!

Think we need a little composure in the middle and wide areas. We’ve given the ball away a little sloppily so far but I think it shows that we don’t have loads to fear, particularly when you consider that the team is likely to include marvellous/luiz, trez and one other to add that bit of quality.

Jota looks decent and like Wesley although need to get people around him. He’s a bit isolated

I'm trying to watch both.  I am currently taking on the features of Marty Feldman.

Brilliant - Peace Cup on its way back home Hilts. Check in later. All is well

Many villa fans at the game?

Missed the first half. Did this kick off at 2:30pm?

Snooze you...

They prefer the 2:30pm kick off in Germany

[Toronto Villa]

Like watching Dean strategizing with Richard and JT. No suggestions that socks need to pulled up or sleeves rolled.

Far out.  I'll leave it in your capable hands.

[Edvard Remberg]

Like Wes now. That pass shows he has awareness
