Aston Villa vs Brighton - Match Thread

[AlexAlexCropley]

Oh for the pace of Bailey....oh

[LeonW]

But this is our best defensive line up (apparently) so we must play it at all costs.

Well, did you follow us last season? When we finished 4th and made a semi-final? this was our back four.

Keep playing it then but we don’t have the same players we had last season with Luiz and Diaby not being here. Or try a natural defender like Mings (who wasn’t available last season) and see if it improves us.

Last season is over, defence has been a fucking shambles this season so last season counts for Jack shit right now

Exactly

[Tuscans]

Unai with an eye roll when the doc told him what was wrong with Torres....gestured a snap.

Oh good another cataclysmic injury.

Aye, the way he went off, leg off the ground with 2 physios either side....could be many months out.

Konsa is getting worse

[JUAN PABLO]

martinez save

[brontebilly]

Caught out completely by a speculative long ball. Offside trap failed - Konsa played his man on and then the centre halves were pretty well absent.

Bit like Leipzig's first goal in some regard - failed to deal with a nothing ball.

I'm thinking Martinez starting position was also wrong again. Konsa is playing like an absolute pr*ck tonight

[PaulTheVillan]

Van Hecke should have scored that

[Demitri_C]

Great save emi but fuck me we look so bad

[PaulWinch again]

Terrible defending to allow that shot.

[coreyfeldman]

Konsa is getting worse

He's knackered and out of form and playing in a defensive shambles. We desperately need quality replacements there asap

[JUAN PABLO]

konsas been shit since he played for england

[HolteLower]

Our "defence" is awful

[Tuscans]

I hate that little dyed hair ******

[JUAN PABLO]

watkins  oh ..

[Nelly]
