Aston Villa v Brighton Match Thread.

[Nii Lamptey]

Not playing badly. Lamptey is a threat, and McGinn needs to cut out the stray passes. Committed a fuck load in that first half that put us in trouble countless times.

[Astnor]

We ve been unlucky.

[andyh]

I don’t know what to say about that. Defensively absolutely abysmal. Going forward, very impressive, but ridiculously wasteful in the box.
McGinn getting worse as the games goes on and trezeguet  needs a punch in the face

[Risso]

Our defending in that half was absolutely atrocious.  Why is it so predictable that after a great win against Arsenal, we're fucking awful against bloody Brighton?

[john e]

Can’t remember being as frustrated as that

[eamonn]

Well nobody could accuse us of being boring!

We were never being bored.

Targett uses the elbow on Maupay there?

Hits him in the chest but Maupay goes down screaming and holding his face.

[Damo70]

Poor start but we ended up being the better side for most of the first half.

[TonyD]

What a cracking game of football. 

Get the cheque book for Lamptey in January.   Best player I’ve seen this season.   Apart from Jack.  Naturally.  We would be a force if we could bag him.

Yes defending, and general defensive play, really poor and lacking intensity.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

We've had enough chances to be winning comfortably, but look shakey when brighton break away. Wellbeck causing mings big headaches. Trez has been wasteful with his finishing but he keeps popping up and having a shot. The game is passing Traore by. He's not involved. happy just to lay it off easy instead of driving forward like Barkley would. I'm dissapointed with him so far.

[Mister E]

Poor start but we ended up being the better side for most of the first half.

Started well, got mugged, played well and nearly got mugged again. Not helped by poor Mings defending and poor McGinn passing.

[Keeno]

We're actually playing really well and Traore's done well since coming on for Barkley. We'll win this. Keep the faith.

[Brend'Watkins]

We are giving Lamptey too much license to hog the wing, he’s a constant danger.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We ve been unlucky.

True but we've also been lucky. 4-4 wouldn't have been an unfair half time score. Shit in defence and crap up front.
