Basel vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[PhilVill]

It's the casual attitude that pisses me off the most. These players need to remember how lucky they are to be playing in Europe and should be bursting a gut. Our 1st 11 are very good, some of our squad players are piss poor.

We have nobody in midfield to control things. Need Tielemans on really.

Agreed 💯 . Midfield two were pathetic once Basel starting getting back into it. That was the time to step up. Not having Torres at back not helping either but Lindelof has been ok. All the more reason to get Tielemans on.

It's been a replica of the go ahead eagles performance. Absolute cruise when 1-0 up but lack of conviction up front and then lack of bottle in our own box have cost us.

Can tell their mind is on Sunday.

[Halfway to Moseley]

Buendia the very definition of hero to zero so far. Looks like he’s deliberately passing to the opposition.

Guessand predictably rubbish despite the goal.

Not sure why Martinez needs a rest?

[Nev]

His 2 crosses were proper "what you doing mate?" Sunday morning stuff.

[Flamingo Lane]

Besides his complete inability to beat his man, I think Guessand must be the worst crosser of a ball I've ever seen.

[JUAN PABLO]

we will still win.

[martyn ellis]

The right side of the half we're attacking looks like a potato field, hope we don't have to defend from there much.

If you think that's a potato patch check out some of the videos from the 70s.

[RamboandBruno]

Get Watkins on and move Malen out to the right abd get Guessand off

[Exeter 77]

I think we may see McGinn at some point.

I never understand why we don’t start with the first teamers to try and get the job done then make subs.

[Percy McCarthy]

Anybody else watching TNT showing a photo of some industrial units?

Edit: telly just decided to pause itself. Panic over.

[Mellin]

I could do with not having to watch him attenpt to play football again tbh. Sell in Jan. Take whatever we can get.

[Ian.]

I’ve just seen there goal. That’s proper shit again from our keeper. He’s a bit of a lightweight isn’t he? The last two goals he’s let in he has to be strong and brave.

[dorsetvillian]

So poor after a very good start. We never learn. Hopefully Uni rips into them. Not that he should need to...
