Aston Villa v Fulham Match Thread

Pau Torres’ passing at times is just outstanding. That pass to Cash for his chance was superb.

It's the touches on the ball as well, that turn under pressure in our half was pure filth.

Think he could quite easily play as a defensive midfielder

That Fulham sub has taken away one of our best sources of winning the ball back.

It was just a gorgeous turn on the edge of our own box. Like the Fulham team were frozen in time.

They've brought on the rapid welsh kid at half time.  Long balls over the top incoming.

[PeterWithesShin]

Phew, they hit the post

[SamTheMouse]

Let off.

[Goldenballs]

Lack of pace on the left exposed there.

Has anyone got a trickle please as mine's run dry?

Got away with one then.

you’re implying it won’t give him a boost because his name won’t end up on the scoresheet, and called him shit the entire AZ match and just mentioned he’s below bar.

It’s like you go out of your way to highlight the worst. He’s fine, he’s one of our best players. He hasn’t turned to stone.

I think you must be thinking of somebody else. I was driving back from picking my son up from the theatre in Leicester second half of the AZ match, and thus wasn't calling him shit (or indeed anything else) at all. Which I wouldn't in any case, he's not shit, just not currently playing at what he's fully capable of, which I don't think is that unreasonable an opinion. I also don't think it's that controversial to think that not scoring a goal is going to give a player much of a confidence boost. But in any case apologies for overreacting, I just don't think your comments were justified.


Up the Villa!

[Toronto Villa]

We have to get through this early bit of Fulham pressure.

Not really, looked offside and was saved easily enough.

[Toronto Villa]

In stunning news Paulinha finally booked

There's usually a storm to weather just after halftime when you're ahead. Keep them out Villa.
