Aston Villa v Bournemouth Match Thread

No one can handle us when we play like this which is why I never understand why we start passively so often.

I reckon it's that Emery thinks it's hard to keep this up for 90 minutes so he's trying to control the tempo so we can have little phases of pushing it without wearing ourselves out.

One more goal and we go above Bournemouth and ManU.

Do you reckon Buendia knows Tielesman is coming on 2nd half.  Hence playing like a man possessed.

Great defending by Watkins there.

[Smirker]

It's so tight between 10th and 2nd.

We're fucking 9th atm.

[ajmant]

Cash is up for this too

[pelty]

Konsa looking shaky today which is unusual

Quality, we look a bit jumpy at the back. At least Ollie was switched on.

I reckon you get more points from playing like this and going in 2 up rather than going in behind or level. Then pace yourselves more second half. Although there is a chance Unai knows more than me. Only a chance though.

8 more and we go 5th.

Playing really well. Freekick that found Buendia that time was inch perfect

[PeterWithesShin]

Everyone has played well this half, which is nice.

[TonyD]

Ollie so needs a goal today.   
We haven’t missed Guessand 😀

[PeterWithesShin]

Maybe no Guessand is why we look so much better.
