Does anyone have a river to share?

[AlexAlexCropley]

How can you be sure

[PeterWithesShin]

Playing a bit better right now.

[villadelph]

is this a 4-4-2, with a diamond?

[Axl Rose]

Rice fouls Luiz, then appeared to stop the free kick being taken early.

No booking?

[SamTheMouse]

We look half decent at the moment!

We're going direct but it's working ok.

[Rigadon]

How is it that West Ham keep Rice and there doesn't seem to be massive, constant gossip about him going to a bigger club (unless I've just missed it (which is possible!)? 

[PeterWithesShin]

All Villa now.

[Monty]

This is so much better. They still don't look especially fluent, but they are clearly short on confidence so it'll take time. Still, much better.

[Axl Rose]

Coutinho looking bright and involved. Good to see.

[Toronto Villa]

I still think we are too slow and the ball into the final third is too predictable. We are working a lot harder though off the ball when we lose it. Next two games are horrible so we have get something from today.

[TonyD]

We are definitely a bit better. 

[Holy Trinity]

Well my link died, being forced to watch wolves vs Newcastle now 😞

[Joshua Fineman]

Well on top.  Need a goal..
