Aston Villa v Salzburg Match Thread

[N'ZMAV]

Who’s playing in the striker role then?

no one has been today

We're already through.

Finish top 2 and we get second leg at home all the way through the knockouts

Yep, understand that. Not worth risking any other injuries though? Hopefully we'll have a midfield still for the knockouts.

How can Sancho and Elliott not pass the stupid ball!

Both atrocious.

[Somniloquism]

Let's be honest, we're going to be treating this like a training game and mainly trying not to get injured, whereas they're going all out to win.

So it's not really surprising.

Indeed.

Looks like we are going for 5th/6th in the table if that is the case.

[ChicagoLion]

We look like we have thrown a bunch of players together and that is what has happened.

Have to say it’s lovely to see the delectable Laura Woods presenting.

[ROBBO]

See why Emery doesn't fancy Elliot, small player with no speed and can't dribble. The goal was laughable, looked to be going wide until Lindelof nicely tucked it away.

[Mellin]

How can Sancho and Elliott not pass the stupid ball!

I've seen every single Villa player misplace at least one pass, apart from maybe Martinez and Rogers. The latter because he hasn't had the ball. The entire team has been shambolic. Not sure why these two are being picked out.

This is our best chance of winning a trophy unless we end up back in the Conference in future. Giving ourselves an advantage by beating a poor side should be doable even with this lineup.

Every cloud.

Do we try to get back into it and risk more injuries or do we ditch the game.

[Smirker]

Have to say it’s lovely to see the delectable Laura Woods presenting.

Comments like these are like a return to the dark days of the 70s

would you say 'diminutive'? She looks tiny.

Until they showed all the replays, I thought it was going in off the post so I don't pick on Lindelof at all for any of it. ALL Mings.

[steamer]

We understand the injuries, but really !
That was dreadful
We fuck about at the back again, Mings reminds us how prone he is to brain farts hey presto they score
Apart from the first 60 secs I dont think we have had a shot on goal
Understand why we wont pay the money for Elliot
Come on Uni, rocket up arses
