Basel vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Garbage, we're very lucky to be level.

Guessand was the worst player on the pitch by a country mile.

Howler from Bizot. Smart finish from Guessand tbf, but cack otherwise.

Nobody playing particularly well.

[PeterWithesShin]

Guessand is a weird one where instead of playing with confidence after scoring he goes to utter shit.

[Nev]

Should be comfortable but we've been sloppy. Sancho is a waste of space and Socceraid? God loves a trier but he's just not there at the moment, despite his goal.

Need to bring on better players to secure a win. Obvious I know.

There was a lot of joy down the left early on, but for some unknown reason we then abandoned the idea

[Rudy Can't Fail]

My tiny river has dried up. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

I do think Guessand sometimes not given options to pass someone . . ok hes not been great but a  few have been awful too.

Like me at work. Do something good then give myself the rest of the day off.

This is why we aren’t title contenders.  You can’t trust the back ups to get a job done.

Garbage, we're very lucky to be level.

Guessand was the worst player on the pitch by a country mile.

He holds it up, holds it up, holds it up, without seemingly a thought in his head about what he’s actually going to do with it, and eventually someone just takes it off him.

[Olof's Beard]

Sancho has looked bright enough to me. Buendia...couple of nice highlights but mostly wasteful. Guessand is really puzzling, how did our scouts consider him the best option? Doesn't look like any sort of fit for the way we play.

We have plenty of options on the bench and 15-30 minutes won't knacker them out if we need them.

[Pete3206]

Guessand is a cart horse. Rubbish.

[Chip Butty 111]

For the life of me I can't remember a player who loses possession as often as Guessand. Aside from the goal which was a wild swing he has been abysmal.  Better from Sancho but again loses possession too often. Need to get a grip in the middle as they are looking more confident.

I think the goal may be an anomaly

Like I said, it looked like we decided at 18 mins that we could manage the game out for a 1-0.
All urgency and dominance disappeared as we decided the game was won and we could coast.
