Bournemouth vs Aston Villa match thread

[Risso]

It's not like Bournemouth aren't awful, they just haven't had to try very hard to be 1-0 up.

[malckennedy]

Abysmal. Ramsey and McGinn have done fuck all. Ings has 3 shots/headers - all shit. Bailey the only one who can hold his head up.
Need Buendia on sooner rather than later.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Awful truly awful, please improve you spineless bastards

[Monty]

Still look too powder puff to me

Yes let's get three bodybuilders in there, they'll keep the ball for sure.

As ever, the problem is coaching and technique, not benchpressing ability.

Who said anything about lifting weights?

'Powderpuff' generally means 'get big bastards in', no?

Only to tactically devoid people

No comment.

[ChicagoLion]

Giving up a goal so easily is the problem.

[pauliewalnuts]

McGinn his customary useless, see being made captain hasn't impacted that.

[Mellin]

McGinn -> Luiz
Bundia -> Ramsey

Go 4231 in 2nd half.

Is the correct answer. It's not difficult to fit Coutinho, Buendia and Bailey in the same side. If one of them isn't performing you hook them for Traore (yep) or Ramsey, or a striker if you're chasing and getting desperate, or revert to this formation currently when protecting a lead against Bournemouth if you must. We seem to be dropping into a back three on the ball as well, which seems daft when they're 1-0 up and sitting deep. Carlos doesn't need Kamara there to find Konsa.

I really doubt we'll win this. We've created nothing and I don't think we'll make the changes needed to look more dangerous.

Postman just delivered my ST with badge and a biro. I hope that is a good omen.

[Dazvillain]

Why do we keep having NO FUCKING MIDFIELD?

Where are they?

It's all down the left flank, short passes going nowhere and a big fucking void in the middle.

Exactly! The midfield or lack of one is the problem. Coutinho, Ramsey joined by Digne queuing up to lose the ball. Pointless.

On top of missing ollies tracking back and work rate ….. never mind 5 subs to come

I think you'd better define 'powderpuff', 'cos I don't know what you're getting at, here.

[JUAN PABLO]

Emi on

[Toronto Villa]

The kit is lovely

We are playing like Coventry City

[Chris_Jephcott]

Emi for Ramsey

[Ducksworthy]

What the fuck was that yodelling about?

[Bad English]

Giving up a goal so easily is the problem.

It's us not being able to ignore the setback and use the remaining 43 minutes of the first half to run up the park and put the ball in the back of the net a couple of times that is the problem the useless tossers what the fuck have they been doing in pre-season the overpaid incompetents?
