Aston Villa v Forest Match Thread

[Villa Lew]

Hopefully that's our bad half.

I might go and jetwash the patio.

That's not a euphemism, I mean, genuinely jetwash the patio.

Do you do that sat down or standing up?

It’s better with Arabic commentary!😜😜😜

[JUAN PABLO]

Well that was dull

Forest parked the bus as predicted and we have very few answers.

Perhaps we'll scramble a goal off a set piece, that feels like the way this game can be won.

Forest doing a decent job of not letting us do what we want to.

[TonyD]

That was a bit pants. 

[Hampshire Villa]

We all need to control our expectations. Forest are for sure set up to just strangle the game. It will be really tough to break these down. At the same time we need to watch they don,t sneak one. We’ve been in the position they’re in. Cooper will be happy with them sticking to their game plan to bore everyone to death. He’s parked the whole bus depot.

Can't we bring Creativity off the bench?

[Risso]

Dreadful half of football, we’ve been so sloppy.

[Legion]

Yawn.

[SoccerHQ]

Fucking shite and nothing like the style we've been getting used to recently.

Their keeper has barely touched it.

I did say pre match this is the first time under Emery we've played someone at VP who's just come to defend all game.

Down the years when we've had good teams this has always been the type of game we've struggled to win at home and today looks no different.

I'd try and get McGinn more central as we need someone in that part of the pitch who can be direct and get past players. Another half of Buendia making some odd passes, his form fluctuates every game.

Sinsalo or Olsen as the ball carrying number 10, they wouldn't have planned pre match for that tactical switch!

Coutinho and Cash would've been good options for this second half.

[Risso]

Bert hasn’t been much use so far.

[PeterWithesShin]

I wonder what's different for this game as we seem a totally different side to the last few weeks. It's almost as though a jinx is in the ground.
