Aston Villa vs Burnley Match Thread

[Axl Rose]

Guilbert also playing well again.

[Damo70]

Ref been in the running path quite a lot this game

I was about to post the same thing. He is getting too close. Yellow card for Tarkowski. Another one and he will be 'offski'.

[BoVillan esq]

They’re CB’s are fucking shit. We have to continue to get these crosses in and Wes has to be far more aggressive getting in front of them.

On this performance they look distinctly ordinary all over the pitch, we should be well up by now.

[PaulWinch again]

Need another.

[SoccerHQ]

Good half, should lead by more.

Worry as always we'll start second half flat, Burnley will have a little spell of corners and score.

We really should be winning this though. Live table looks much better.

[Damo70]

Cynical foul on Jack on the edge of the area, free kick given but no yellow card.

[Toronto Villa]

Guilbert also playing well again.

They can’t double up on Freddie as Targett as readily can also attack down the other side. It means Burnley are much more stretched now and it opens up the middle.

[Sexual Ealing]

Played really well. Wesley is a worry.

[Nii Lamptey]

Wesley's play acting gets right on my tits.

Was willing to give him a break. You can forgive the lack of goals if the effort is there, but he really is fecking useless isn't he! Not a glimmer of him making it in this league so far.

[Rudy65]

Great half. Look much better without the two wingers and Conor strengthening the midfield

SJM seems to have found a new way of rolling his opponents like he did last year

[taylorsworkrate]

We had 3 corners then and arsed around with all 3 of them. Get the fucking ball in the fucking box!!!!

We have been comfortably the better team. We look far more balanced with this line up. Having had more of the ball we shouldn't be knackered after 60 minutes this week.

Cynical foul on Jack on the edge of the area, free kick given but no yellow card.

That would have been a second yellow for Barnes.

This is what Burnley do though, concede possession but keep games tight and then pinch a goal from set piece or high ball.

Just adopted the formula Stoke did for many years on prem.

Of course we could try to cling on to a 1-0 but we've created loads today so more goals here if we really want it.

[Damo70]

We have had 64% possession and far more goal attempts than them.
