Aston Villa v Man U pre-season friendly thread

Who the fuck is this Bailey chap??

[CT Villan]

Bailey unlucky, great work from Emi

[Goldenballs]

Little Emi and Bailey looking good, this is better.

[Toronto Villa]

Fuuuuuucck great corner Bailey. How have we not scored?

[CT Villan]

we could be winning now

[Beard82]

Think we need a CF with pace and a physical midfielder

Ah looks like we had them on the bench

No way we can have ings and Watkins partnership when it means it keeps out emi and Bailey 

[Keeno]

Interesting... Buendia has basically played as a false nine since he came on. Has looked really good there. Archer and Watkins both pulling out into the left channel going forward and defending.

[Toronto Villa]

Our line up vs Bournemouth needs to include Buendia and Bailey. And I’d even consider Konsa for Mings.

Martinez
Cash
Digne
Konsa
Carlos
Kamara
Buendia
McGinn
Coutinho
Bailey
Watkins

Hopefully that’s been put to bed now.

Great work by Sanson. Needs to get that cross in on the ground

[AlexAlexCropley]

Great move

[Toronto Villa]

Lovely first touch and control by Cam

You'd hope so - its not even like it's Gerrard's preferred way to play - he stumbled upon it as a bit of a fix last year and stuck with it. We look so much more fluid with one up top and have way too much talent in the attacking midfield positions to not use it fully.

[Toronto Villa]

We’re playing so well this half. And really getting into them as well. These pricks don’t like it when we get in their faces
