Aston Villa v Bologna Match Thread

[The Edge]

Guessand continues to improve. Looking good tonight so far.

If there is a rating given out for carelessness right now Emi is getting a solid 9.

He's one of those that just plays the game at 100mph in his head. Weimann was exactly the same.

Yes good comparison

3 shots on target, in one half. This must be what it was like watching Messi in 2012.

And his level was Bristol City, not Europa League.

Structure is so much better tonight

[PeterWithesShin]

Helps when you set up to try and win rather than get to HT 0-0.

[PaulWinch again]

Emi switched off defensively there.

[Skerra]

And the good thing is, Bologna are probably the best team we are going to play in the group stage.

Yep, Buendia works his arse off, and at a lower standard that's enough but he's not good enough for where we are.

Malen and Guessand have looked good though and Rogers is a little better but still not himself.

Not so sure about that.

After a trickle if anyone has one

[Toronto Villa]

Just awful there from Rogers.

And I take the last bit back immediately, that was really poor.
