Aston Villa v Young Boys Post-Match Thread

[Duncan Shaw]

It seemed clear that once Ollie was on, the instruction was to try and set him up for a goal.

So something we do in every match🤔

Not to the extent of actually squandering better chances to do it, e.g. the Sancho one last night.

A decent hour and then shit.
The last 30 mins were abysmal. Young Boys were really not very good, lower Championship standard at best, yet we allowed them to dominate us in the last half hour.

I thought Malen and Maatsen were very good, Tielemans and Onana glided through

I had a ticket for the game and booked the afternoon off but only got out of the office in London at 7pm and caught the last 30 in the pub. I thought Maatsen looked decent going forward but was caught out for the disallowed goal and was also caught napping a few times in our own box. I don’t yet trust him as a defender.

You'd have struggled anyway as the trains from Euston were fucked.  My son was booked on the 14:10 due in at 15:30, and arrived just in time to neck the pint I'd bought him in the Holte End car park "fan zone" (one beer trailer tucked in the corner) before we had to dash in for KO.  I was "lucky" enough to be working in Nuneaton yesterday 

Euston appears worse than ever of late. No joy after Tottenham, was a nightmare last week getting back to Piccadilly as well.

Lucky you. Easy journey from here!
