If we bring on Zani maybe Bailey should move left and he should go up top, they look gettable-at with a bit of height and violence.

Would be so funny if after all this Zaniolo turned out to be essentially our BigDunc.

Team is better without Cash IMO.
Yes, but Ezri is scaring the shit out of me. He looks so casual.

Ramsey is still way off his best, think he’ll make way for Zaniolo.

Please, please, please Villa get the next goal. We have all been emotionally scarred enough for about 4 or 5 lifetimes by these f*eckers!!!

First 30 mins we were in total control, took the foot off the gas a little after the second. Need to up the tempo a bit again to not let Utd back in. Ref trying his best to help them too.

C'mon Villa, another goal early in the 2nd half and its over.

Don’t get to many away games, but I’ve made it to this one…. And I also have a 100% win record. Just sayin.

Merry bloody Christmas! UTV 🥂

Manu just having a few "issues"  with the high line defence apparently. SHEESH!!!!!


I've seen this attitude a lot so far - that it's only a high line, it just a case of getting the run right, really easy to play against, etc. Long may they wallow in ignorance.

What I notice about our high line is that we play it, catch them offside, then immediately go right after them just in case, rather than just standing there with our hands in the air.

Yes! I love that, really professional. Tuned in to the idea that the flag may come later on.
The one instance when we had about 7 players holding a line and not one of them was an inch out of place was perfect to see.

I'm glad the half time analysis has sorted out the confusion. There was me thinking we were 2 nil up but apparently Yanitid are playing us off the park and Evri is confident of a 3-2 win.
