Match Day Thread vs Aston Villa (H)

Last weeks goalscorers Ayoze/Mitro have been dropped

Should give Villa a bit of confidence if confidence is possible amongst that dreadful team that is.

 

Same starting line up as last week.

 

I think starting with de jong today is probably a smart move, speed won't be an issue as I'd imagine villa well sit deep. We need someone to unlock them rather than out run them. That said, I'd have preferred mitro to cisse.

 

This is dreadful.

 

Cant watch today but just looked at the text on BBC. Looks like it's shockingly dull!

 

Is drab. It's raining: but we are seriously piss poor going forward.

 

That's Papis out for the season.

 

Not creating anything. At least there's an enforced change - Cisse off for Mitrovic

 

Christ Villa... when Colo scores against you..you know things are bad.

Good time for us to score...still...very poor viewing this.

Horrible conditions too. Pitch will take a beating.

 

Watched 30 mins of damp drab ..then my stream died ...now back up ...missed the bloody goal

 

It was a calamity shocker... flat corner across the box, everyone misses it, Colo sort off misskicks and it pingpongs off the keeper. Best league in the world they say.

 

Hope the match don't get called off.

 

Gonna credit Schteve with something. Set plays...we're actually scoring from them these days. Which is something Pardew never ever managed to get remotely right.

 

This is in danger off being abandoned unless groundsmen work wonders during interval.

 

I have a bad feeling about the second half, Dummett has a mistake in his back pocket waiting to happen, at least the modern shola ameobi is off
De jong I just don't get he looked good in a poor league but just can't cut it.
We need to improve or I can see us letting the superb 3 pts we got last week going to waste

 

We're not that good. Nothing on the left. Balls into the box Villa win most of the time.
Thankfully Villa are poor, but we need Perez's skill and a few more balls to Mitrovic in the box. Colback and Anita in particular are poor specimens of players.
Oh how we need a midfield bruiser.

 

We need de Jong off. We need some legs on the pitch. He's slow enough as it is.

 

We need to get on the ball.

 

We look half asleep at start of 2nd half. Villa coming into the game more.

 

We have to switch on. This is where we lose points when we sit on our lead. We have to play as if we are losing.
