It has to be said that for the vast majority of matches we look more league 1 than prem.... its about time the team started to settle and get used to each other....... makes you wonder just how many training sessions and matches it takes for us to 'gel'? Quite baffling
We need to sort the passing out. Even though we are winning I would get Niko on, take off OBZ and put Vargas up front. We need to keep hold of the ball so that they drop back more.
Began to think I must be watching Norwegian 2nd level football. Good goal, some good tackles going in but we can't pass to each other.
Just for once, please can we put a game to bed. Score a second early doors and then a third twenty minutes later. Sadly the last time we did that was 1982
Carlos Sanchez has been brilliant for Villa. Gets a head or a foot on everything and his passing isn't bad either. Good buy.
This going to be a very stressful half if we keep playing like this, very scrappy, we keep giving up possession too easily.
