Lille vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Meanwood Villa]

Tech question.  When TNT swaps to HBO will it automatically change on my tv?

Don't think you'll notice a difference on TV. I use my phone and will need to swap the app I use.

Konsa is a very lucky boy, Giroud should have scored.

Watkins, Sancho and Buendia poor. SJM for Buendia please.

[Villan82]

I think we've done alright

0-0 at half time in a European knockout tie away leg.

I agree.

[Cropley10]

If we could get 30 Bob for Watkins at the end of the season, I’d snap their hands off!

It’s fucking pathetic every week that we barely get a shot on goal let alone on target. What the hell is this tactic? It doesn’t work. Fucking boring. We didn’t used to be this way.

Personally think we've been pretty decent in the build up, but Watkins, Rogers, Buendia and Sancho just keep giving it away and killing any chance of creating opportunities.

no real playmakers
we have an early corner, konsa and Pau go up for it and it gets played low
fuck about at the back again and Martinez parries one, that fucker Giroud almost pounces.
Buendia, Sancho and Watkins poor

[Villa Lew]

Get SJM on NOW!

[Chip Butty 111]

Watkins shocking form has rubbed off onto  Buendia/Sancho/Rogers...none of them seem to trust each other with the ball and look completely lost. Give Tammy a run of 3 games.

Onana was shite for that chance they had. Just stood up, had more than enough time to cover that cross getting near Giroud. Kamara would have.

[HK Villan]

Encouraging first half compared with recent performances.

Agreed the four have been very wasteful.

Buendia is terrible. Replace with Elliot or Mcginn at HT.

Sancho is neat and tidy but that it is about it. He has very little impact in a game.

If we play with this enthusiasm and lack of any pace or quickness in getting onto the opposition then I feel we will get slaughtered on Sunday. Manchester United will come at us with pace right from the off. I am afraid Emery has got this mode into their systems they cannot lift themselves to up the speed at all.

Hoping SJM has enough fitness for a full half, or at least 30 mins

He has to see Watkins isn't working again (working out, not effort) and bring Tammy on

[Sexual Ealing]

Imagine all the great stuff he'd do off the pre-decimalised currency.

[PaulTheVillan]

Final ball has let us down
