Aston Villa v Ipswich Town Match Thread

It needs changing up at HT as it isn't working

[villadelph]

8 shots, 4 corners, 67% possession even before the red, passing through their midfield with ease, winning the ball back on the break and controlling the tempo.

We’re not winning but this is hardly shit football.

[Sexual Ealing]

Watkins in missing an easy chance his great movement made possible shocker.  Just win this crappy game and pray Kamara is back soon. 

Yes, he does all his best work when he's nowhere near the ball. Magic. Perhaps we could find him a job in the new shop.

Can Asensio take free kicks because ours have been shite again

I saw a stat recently that on average only 5% go in.  I don’t think we are particularly bad at them. 

no point having them .

Mind there was a good one when he had it ruled out ( Malen)

Pretty sure Rashford has scored a few direct Freekicks.

Can Asensio take free kicks because ours have been shite again

I'd like to see him on the right where's there's acres of space with the impressive Malen inside.

[RichardBatchelor]

Poor half. Really bad.

If we drop points here that would be a very poor result againt ten men. Should be no excuses.

Youris been awful in my opinion

Not seen anything from Ramsay, a passenger again.

What? Ramsey’s been good.

We need to move the ball quicker. We do that we win the game.

Malen has been the best player If you can call it best

I don't think we're far from the ball being played short and trying to build from there for free kicks. They're low percentage chances where the defending team and keeper is set. Surprised Guardiola hasn't lapped it up already.

[BoVillan esq]

We must come out of this with a solid comfortable win, its bad enough they are down to 10 men as an excuse, 3 or 4 goals second half.

[CT Villan]

Fullbacks are finally getting higher after the red. I would switch Garcia with Asensio and let him roam. I'd also bring Rashford on for Watkins...and increase the intensity. This game is there for the taking.

[SaddVillan]

They're well coached and set up and work hard within their system.

We need to keep playing and chances will come.

[ROBBO]

Sixteen less goals than last season, Watkins misses makes up for a lot of them. Not sure what it is with him but it is not working.

[PeterWithesShin]

Maatsen and Rashy coming on
