Aston Villa v Sheff Utd Match Thread

First half thoughts. Them bit agricultural. Us, missing Pau’s passing and a Diaby right foot.
It’ll come.

That was Fcukin shite why are we going down the middle to be faced by six cloggers all the time.  What’s happened to our pace?!

[Proposition Joe]

I think we need to be quicker to get it forward and more direct. They don't look dangerous going forward at all so we don't need to worry about giving the ball away trying throughballs or trying to go past players.

[Risso]

That was dreadful. It’s like the annual pass a ball to a man in a yellow shirt competition.

[N'ZMAV]

I'd take Ramsey off, get Diaby wide and get Duran up front - we're too timid - we lack aggression.

That would be the hundred or so yellow shirts camped between the centre circle and the 18 yard line. They can't just run through them, they remain solid matter.

Most worrying, they're getting at us a bit in the counter-press. Must improve.

 Cash is a massive weak link.
No threat whatsoever. If we moved the ball around quicker in the final third we would rip them to shreds, but walking football is easy to defend against.

Have they got a crap keeper? Who knows, we have barely tested him

[Steve67]

Diaby and Bailey are trying the take the piss, thinking they are the cream.  Our passing and movement needs to improve in the second half.  One shot on target is poor.  Defo a penalty for Watkins though, the more you see it, the more it looks like a blatant push.  You should never, ever take anything for granted and if we think we can hang 11 shirts out just to beat this lot, we are wrong, we still have to turn in a performance.

No creative movement
They will handle this all night

Defo get Duran on to rough them up, we're not passing through these.

This in spades.

[Monty]

Also, really should have had a penalty.

[PeterWithesShin]

They are doing well in keeping their very defensive shape, they aren't letting us pull them out of position so there's no gaps to play through. Hopefully they'll tire a bit both mentally and physically and gaps will open. We've shown a number of times we'll keep going and can score late.

[Small Rodent]

We’ve played fine except for some wayward passes and decision making.

[Goldie.7]

Pretty much like a re-run of the Brentford match except we're not losing at HT. As expected tbh.

Bench looks more and more shit as the injuries pile up.
