Burnley v Aston Villa post match thread

[not3bad]

What's the situation with Jed Steer now? Is he still injured and what is his expected return date?

[ChicagoLion]

Do we have someone doing a search on FM20 for shot stopping 20, handling 20 and passing 15 so we can get a bunch of unrealistic options in the table for us to critique?

Eh?

End of Jan he should be back

Anyone who says Wes is worst Villa striker really is just so mistaken.

Crouch scored 6 goals in 37 games in 2.5 seasons. I think Wes has 6 already.
Baros 9 in 37 in 2.5 seasons.

How long did it take JPA to score consistently?

Balaban
Kozak (alebit unlucky)

That is without starting on the cheaper options we acquired over the years. Lillis, Bowery etc..

Playing in a system/lineup for most of the season that has allowed him one chance on goal per game.

[PeterWithe]

Excellent first half, competent second, which will do us fine.

The VAR was an irritant, no real opinion if he was offside or not but it’s annoying that he was neither interfering with play, and was another phase anyway from the one which the goal came from.

Burnley were very, very poor. Our work rate and desire was much improved and we were well worth the win.

Did you see his subsequent comment in response to the troll...

Troll : Getting 80 grand a week for that il let ya Rip my arsehole open for that

Freddy : Me too 👉🏽🍑🔞

Great response from l'enfant terrible.

I'm not really singling him out for praise, more expressing pleasant surprise with how he played, but I thought Trezegeut really put a shift in today. Without the ball especially his pressing got our second goal started. Him Marvelous and Luiz finally looked like decent premier league operators.

What the actual?

[PeterWithesShin]

5m 40s to see what VAR is doing to the game

[Eckybloke]

I didn’t think the reference was that obscure...😳

We have a potential goalkeeper search required following this game.
Football Manager 20 is the most up to date version of the popular football database.
Previously we have accused people of getting examples from football manager.
I have used similar parameters in the game to quickly filter out goalkeepers I didn’t fancy...

😁

 Some thoughts after New Year’s Day – the match has already been well covered.
Before the match the fans were behind Dean and Wes unlike a lot of online fans.
Stanchions cut out more of the game than I remembered. These old stadia may be much loved by the media but from the press box they don’t have a big chunk of the field obscured.
Anyone who still supports VAR should watch the fans reaction after Wes’s goal. You don’t cheer a goal now, you cheer the restart. It is sucking the enjoyment out of the game (and I wonder if they thought that the leg in claret/blue was Villa when they disallowed the 1st ?).
 Sean Dyche and Burnley are not the lovable underdogs. They were niggly and rough.  After fouling Wes, as he was leaving on a stretcher I looked around and practically none of their fans applauded in sympathy. They did give Heaton a more fitting appreciation.
I shall probably die of a heart attack in the last 10 minutes of a Villa game.
The M6 is much better when you are the only ones awake at that time.
I love the Villa.

I was in A&E having intravenous antibiotics being pumped into me when the game was on (!), so I decided not to check the scores until I came out (as there’s  only so much stress & misery I could handle). You can imagine my joy on seeing the result after such a shite start to 2020! Well done to Dean & the boys for finally pulling it out the bag after such a dreadful run of performances (& consequential results). Let’s hope this marks the start of a far more positive period for our magnificent club. Let’s be ‘avin you! 👍

It was a tremendous effort yesterday. A goal disallowed, two players stretchered off and an extra 9 mins to play through at the end. No-one really had a poor game and Wesley looked more involved than he has been of late. Let's hope the meeting they had did the trick.
