Burnley v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Deano's Mullet]

I’m pleased Unai is pissed, it means he wants to win the game.

[Exeter 77]

From the BBC. Ben Mee feeling guilty now he has retired.

Really good second half of the first half for Villa. Good from Burnley to start the game, full of energy as we've said. Got a goal up, massive chance for Zian Flemming to potentially go 2-0 up. He misses it and then Villa come back at Burnley and then the offside goal was a tight call. Barkley gets the equaliser from a corner. A fair result on that balance of play.

Jesus fucking Christ, DM.

sick of fucking var

Yeah the penalty Thursday was awful.

just never know  if too celebrate anymore thou  unless its  a 40 yarder

[Toronto Villa]

We played so much better from about 33 minutes on. It’s like the first 30 we were hungover from Thursday. I would hope we carry on as we finished and just finish the job professionally

[Brazilian Villain]

It's pretty harmless.

Yeah, I'm more concerned about people calling andyh on Sky an 'unbearable tosser'.

[Ianu]

All our players are too secure in the first eleven.

Due to a combination of Unai having his favorites and poor recruitment, there’s not enough genuine competition for places, which results in a lack of urgency in games like this.

How many out there are desperate to prove themselves?

It would be nice to have one or two players chomping at the bit.

[ROBBO]

I hope the changes come earlier than usual. We really need to win this one so get Pau on.

VAR has value if implemented correctly. But I agree it completely dulls the spontaneous nature of being a football fan. There would have been so many incredible moments throughout the history of the game at all levels denied us if VAR existed in years gone by.

[PaulWinch again]

We have to win this game. There is no excuse.

Careful !

[Hampshire Villa]

Who is the g ed co commentator he’s really getting on my tits

[eamonn]

Surely with that VAR it was if he was behind the ball not the defender?

He was ahead of both but the defender was just ahead or level with the ball which is why they took it from him.

Sound, couldn't tell on my feed

I'm listening on 5Live Extra and Ben Mee (spit) thought the same as you.

[SamTheMouse]

Mings. Honestly, bloody terrible.
