Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Crown Hill]

Best hope now is if we can fluke a corner

[Somniloquism]

The worst thing is that we didn’t need to do that. The match was fairly even, but advantage to us. We didn’t need to shut up shop and gift them control.

It’s the sign of a lack of confidence that we can compete with them.

Pretty much stemmed from Pickford fluffing up control at the back which led to pressure we hadn't allowed before, and confidences of the players changed and hasn't changed back.

For all the slagging him off for being too defensive, it took an absolute twat of a goal to break them down. Can't do much about them regardless of formation.

Stop pretending that you're supporting England!!

He got that opportuntiy because we were sitting so deep. Not one player got out to close him down

[Brazilian Villain]

2-1, get in.

[Jane]

There you go

[Lizz]

Oh dear.

[wolfman999]

Dropping so deep with no out ball just invites pressure as the ball just comes back in. Just like watching Villa.

[Chap]

Shit

[Chris_Jephcott]

Fucking close them down!

[devilla]

And there you go.

Tactical fuck up.

[Dogtanian]

Cowardly.

[Somniloquism]

2-1.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Well that’s that then.
