Aston Villa v Burnley Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

They should give the responsibility and control back to the linesman, can I say that .

That Diaby goal ,if the linesman doesn't flag give it but if a linesman flags and the is no offside give the goal.

I'd be happy with that .

Some astonishingly poor play from JJ and Moreno there.

[Goldenballs]

Think we'll deffo need another.

[PaulWinch again]

Longlet looks beaten in that chase.

He did alright. JJ’s terrible play upfield left us open.

[mrfuse]

One ball and they are in every time, Lenglet is really struggling at the back.

That double act was just brilliant to end last season.

Lenglet is too slow for the Prem.

[PaulWinch again]

Midfield is doing absolutely nothing here.

[TonyD]

We are winning but look very fragile.

It was - but it’s not at the moment.

Burnley player sent off

[PaulWinch again]

Lenglet is too slow for the Prem.

He isn’t, it’s the midfield just being bypassed that is leaving us exposed.

[PaulTheVillan]

Bye bye

Watching MatchDay Live. Apparently Man City are now 2 points back of Liverpool, and level on points with Arsenal as it stands.

Intending to reply to your other point but can't find it about the creeping nerves this week. I think the vibe would be different if Heck's statement had been 'full steam ahead with the rebuild next June'. I think the off-field stuff has sort of been badly times for the fans.

This is a really good observation. It was good vibes tempered with puzzling (or alarming, or suspicious, or...) news from the club. And even then, it wasn’t news, it was something that kind of oozed out of a general conversation.
