RB Leipzig v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Somniloquism]

We've been fine apart from the usual brain-fart. Play like that second half and we'll win.

Well play like that second half and it ends 2-2 doesn't it?

Yep.

[tomd2103]

Decent first half, including an excellent first 15 minutes, marred by a ridiculous error.

[Smirker]

Watkins off, Duran on.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Watkins would be fortunate to keep his England slot. He is really quite average this season or, perhaps, certainly not at his best.

I'd say he's fortunate to keep his Villa place

[villadelph]

Not worried, playing much better.

[dicedlam]

The Panda has got to come on at 60 minutes if the score remains the same. Great assist by Watkins but we need more from him.

[Flamingo Lane]

There's no getting away from the fact the cock-up is now a feature of Martinez's goalkeeping.

Summary
We look head and shoulders above this lot.
Minus the error we look comfortable
Rogers is having a a Lionel
Cash is a posiitve on the right
Ref is good atm
A 2-1 win will do

[PhilVill]

Up the pace 15% and move the ball quicker, we'll walk this.

I think Watkins held his thigh at the end there. Will have to see if he comes out second half.

Bit harsh. Hes always putting himself about and you have create the chances to miss them. Just needs to be a bit sharper in front of goal.

[Brend'Watkins]

Whoever manages us we will conspire to let any inferior opposition in. Does my head in.

[Nev]

Mings plays and that goal is much less likely. He's vocal and an organiser.

Anyway, we've played well and with some smarter finishing could be 3 up.

[brontebilly]

McGinn and Kamara were outstanding in that first half. We should be at least two goals up. Keep our heads and we should win this. They are all over the place at the back. Both our full/wing backs caused havoc early on, Digne should have an assist only for Watkins fresh air. That was a terrible effort from Tielemans too. Cash and Watkins (another) decent chances too.

Id keep faith with Watkins. Very tempting to see what Duran could do against these but I think Ollie will score. His general play has been very sharp. Rogers has lost the ball too much but looks dangerous too.
