Villa v Saints match thread

Actually Saints are pretty poor too.

 

Have they all forgotten how to cross?

 

I just dont know what I think of Long. He draws fouls, wins set pieces... Arrgh. Close

 

No touch from Guzan = Pelle goal.

 

We have subs, ffs use them!!!!!!

 

This is better. Can we sustain it.

 

75% 2nd half position, shots on target - 0.

 

hopefully the villa substitution works in our favor..

 

Who have we got? Cork is not going to get us a goal.

 

He can change the shape of the team though.

 

I wonder how much my barber would charge me if I asked him for a Cissokho...........................?

 

Think we need Tadic to go on the left, Villa are playing so so narrow that the only space we have is out wide and the full backs, Long and Mane don't have the crossing ability that we need to get the better of Villa's 8 men in the box defending.

 

Weimann tries his hand at Rugby conversions.

 

Dear oh dear. We've looked shaky against these breaks all evening.

 

Mayuka on for Mané.

 

Which was needed after 5 minutes of the match

 

Mayuka for Mane.

 

The bench looks weak but for Cork... we need Jay fit

 

It's a bold move cotton, let's see if it pays off.

 

Gone 4-2-4. There's a change of shape! Typical FM tactic when losing.
