Lille vs Aston Villa Match Thread

Buendia and Watkins are both really decent in the air.

[TopDeck113]

Fuck me sideways!

[TonyD]

Get innn!!

[Brazilian Villain]

Cometh the hour mark, cometh the man! Ollie Watkins!

[Mister E]

Tammy for Watkins.

SJM for Buendia.

Please.

Sancho has to go too, permanently. Absolutely despise him

At least you're keeping a sense of perspective.

Sancho has been ineffectual, to say the least.

There's a long way to travel between being considered ineffectual and being despised.

I'm not going to justify another's view...
... but 'despise' is a strong word.

[Deano's Mullet]

How long before we can actually celebrate it? Its usual for someone to disallow our goals lately.

[JUAN PABLO]

Brilliant! Hope this gives him a much-needed boost!

and the team

[Dave]

Onana off the post

[PeterWithesShin]

Told you Ollie was the right player to start!

[Martyn Smith]

Lovely goal.

Pure instinct, no time to overthink.  And as the commentator said, excellent of Buendia to get that header

[andyh]

Onana’s best game since the Arsenal game.

[usav]

Onana back to prime Viera tonight.

[kippaxvilla2]

Onana and Dougie been really good so far.

[usav]

Buendia in a nutshell, receives the ball in plenty of space, bad touch, then fouls the guy that tackles him.

Buendia and Watkins are both really decent in the air.

Horrendous on the ground tonight. Buendia giving it away yet again there
