AS Monaco v Aston Villa Match Thread

What's The Range?

A downmarket B&M

Blimey I thought a downmarket B and M would be the recycling tip.

[ez]

It's not often we start with two of the three Grealish replacements. Thank god we sold Ings.

[Rigadon]

I've had enough of Bailey.

Difficult to disagree.  He’s so lightweight and ineffectual despite obvious ability.  There is zero outlet on the right because he never ever beats his man.  No threat.

:Bailey can be brilliant but he's a coward.

To be honest, it’s been a long time since he was brilliant

[coreyfeldman]

Bailey is without doubt one of the most frustrating players around. We know he has the talent and ability yet we see it so rarely.

Frustating is kind. He is rubbish. You get the odd cameo at home, but virtually nothing in away games. It is really like playing with 10 men.

Cash is basically having to do his attacking job for him, in addition to defending. Poor sod must be knackered already.

Early on he let the ball run for cash in the area rather than take it on himself, shows where he's at imo. He's such a confidence player and he looks absolutely shot

What's The Range?

A downmarket B&M

The range is way better than B&M 😎

An upmarket B&M

*wink*

Range is loads better than B&M! It has a garden centre.

The Oldbury b&m has a garden centre.

Don’t get these commentators. “Monaco very much in the ascendancy”. What utter fucking shite! They’re ahead yes, courtesy of Mings, but they ain’t “very much in the ascendancy”.

Counterpoint: you’re in Oldbury

Bailey and Watkins both should have scored.

I would yank Emi for Bogarde and move Tielemans forward.  Also bring Ramsey on for Bailey sooner rather than later.

[brontebilly]

Lamp post be more effective than Konsa in his current form.

[Chip Butty 111]

The full back on Baileys side has been sat in his shed reading the paper most of that half, came out a couple of times and dispossessed Leon without taking the cigar out of his mouth. Dear me

[AlexAlexCropley]

Quite. I am worried about him

I tend to agree. Tielemans is better in the more advanced role

[Chris_Jephcott]

The 2nd half cannot be as bad as the first. We created but haven’t finished - their keeper looks decent.

Early goal please Villa and we can win this. Otherwise I’ll take a draw now

[devilla]

Wish Malen was eligible for this one. I'm sure he'd do better than Bailey has. Wouldn't be difficult mind.
