Burnley vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[brontebilly]

Playing some brilliant football. Watkins a man transformed, filthy tackle on him at one stage. Hard to know how the game isn't wrapped up. Watkins missed the big chance, Barks off bar, Targett should have put that shot across goal, fancied Traore to score at least one of those chances he had.

Only one I've been disappointed with is Luiz again . All the rest are at it. Jack on a different level, feel a bit sorry for Matty Lowton.

Dyche has a real problem, with two up top their midfield is getting scorched. Two of their back four on yellows. All there for us.

By far Kevin. If we continue with this flowing form it’s up there with Ron’s and Littles teams.

[Three Spires Villa]

We look so confident and composed on the ball, what a great team we have become. That first 45 was excellent

[Dick Edwards]

That was a gorgeous exhibition of football in the first half. Class all over the pitch.
We have to put the result to bed though.

[nordenvillain]

Excellent half, just missing more goals.  I can see Tarkowski getting a 2nd yellow for pulling Ollie down/back in the 2nd half.

We can absolutely rip teams apart. Tear them to shreds.
But we have to start converting some of the stunning chances we keep creating.

Good first half with some moments of real quality.  Just don’t need to get dragged down by their constant fouling.  Would like to see that Mee handball again as it looked like his arm was up.

Please finish these dirty twats off. We have battered them in each meeting since we came up and only won one. The jammy fuckers.

What a fooking team this is, probably the best villa team i have ever seen, such a joy to watch.

[The Edge]

We really are pretty f**king good now aren’t we!? Very few teams are going to be able to live with us if we keep playing like this. A few missed chances today, but pretty soon someone is going to get an absolute pasting.

Manchester City are the only team we've played this season who looked a level above everyone else. But after spending gazillions on their team of galacticos that's to be expected. Even then they needed the help of the officials and we could have easily had a few ourselves. I'm just so impressed with what we're seeing from the boys this season. Just amazing.

[Monty]

Might just have been our best half of the season.

Only  one of their back four on a yellow!

[dorsetvillian]

Fantastic to watch. Shame we haven't got 2 or 3. Surely Burnley can't be that bad in the second half.

[SaddVillan]

Dyche's tackling philosophy seems to be:

If you can't get the ball get the man, but don't bother about the ball too much.

[Villa Lew]

Superb so far, tearing them apart, come on the Villa.
