Aston Villa v HŠK Zrinjski Mostar Post-Match Thread

[KevinGage]

You can see why they are champions of their country.

Well organised and don't lose many.

This whole rotate the squad caper Thurs > Sun is still new for us. More minutes in the legs of Tielemans, Longlay and some of the others will Shirley benefit us further on in the campaign. Wouldn't want that pair starting a league game anytime soon, mind.

[ChicagoLion]

We’ve got McGinn.

[Goldenballs]

Cash made a massive difference.

[CT Villan]

The referee must be gutted.

Much better second-half, though Tielemans fails again to impress. Well done SJM - he's wasted on the left but saved us at the death. Carlos was not at his best either, but Lenglet seemed to be settling in.

[Eckybloke]

Soooo slow in the first half. What a load of shite. We should have been zipping it about like the second half.

Really wanting Zaniolo to get his first goal just needs something to get him going…but…

Is there anything better than a last minute winner?

😁😁😁

[Steve67]

I only watched the second half but it was all Villa, scruffy and desperate at times but a deserved victory.  All their play acting and crap refereeing, I'm pleased that justice was done and we manage a win.  Hopefully, this so-called second string gains a bit of heart from that.  Wasn't pretty but we peppered their goal and kept going at it. 

[Smirker]

Second half we absolutely smashed them.

Another day we score four.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Lenglet looked a lot better

I thought Zaniolo did ok - he was trying to move into the incredibly limited space and create opportunities.

Reckon I still preferred the 6-1 against Brighton.

[Duncan Shaw]

I'm another that though Lenglet looked OK tonight

[BC Villain]

Great to win at the end, but we're a million miles off going for in this. Paying the price fior not strengthening properly in the Summer

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

We'll look back on that McGinn goal next May in Athens.

Thought he had a better game. Didn’t have to even do anything 2nd half. That helps

Hardly.

Also we have 5 first teams out injured tonight.
