Aston Villa v AZ Alkmaar Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Fuck sake. Emi saved us again there

[Risso]

This is a bit crap now. Don't remotely look like scoring.

More wine.

Not for me tonight, sadly.

How many times has Bailey lost possession?

3 times since I posted this. 7 minutes ago.

[PeterWithesShin]

Only positive from that half was Martinez didn't chuck one in for a change.

[Jon Crofts]

Half time comes just at the right time.

Bailey…

I know. A topic that always comes up. But he’s just too inconsistent. He scores goals but today, he seems a little lost again. Like he tries too hard. But he’s not consistent enough for where we want to go.

Zaniolo on in the 2nd half please

Been well on top until last 5 mins

Someone said Tielemans playing well

To be fair a least some of it has been him playing passes that are 50/50 at best but if they'd come off we'd have been in on goal.

[SoccerHQ]

They're much better than the home game.

Get the feeling this will be another late show like Mostar was.

[Ian.]

I thought Bailey was our biggest threat?

Not really.

[taylorsworkrate]

Poor apart from first few minutes. We haven't created anything besides the disallowed goal. They've looked more likely

[Skerra]

We need to change it a bit and start playing the ball quicker. Alkmaar are gradually getting more into the game and think we’ll struggle if they score first.

Same for me. We need a bit of guile, a clever through ball, a cheeky dink, someone to make it happen.

Kamara has done well breaking forward at times.

He’s been superb so far
