Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[Shoei]

Saka looks cooked early. Lacking that usual zip.

He got chopped down early, no doubt a tactical foul. Probably still feeling it a bit.

 

[TY24]

Declan Rice. Warrior.

 

[Shoei]

Very very open game.

Don't seen any clean sheets today tbh.

 

[TY24]

Haven't got going at all so far.

 

[beside the seaside]

We have some issues here. Deserve to be down, could have easily been 2. Haven't got going at all.

 

[Shoei]

1-0 Vila. Just one of those away games that we see so often.

Villa throwing everything into their performance; physical fouls, fast breaks, constant closing down and a quality finish.

We've not been bad but its a case of them playing at 120% intensity giving them the edge.

We've had 3 good chances but have hit the keeper with all 3.

 

[Shoei]

Rice with another soft hit straight at Martinez after really good play.

 

[beside the seaside]

The defence looks like it's starting to struggle with the injuries. Not impressed with Hincapie.

Some good looks but it will have to be something spicy to beat Martinez. A lot of poor shots so far.

 

[TY24]

There's a real lack of chemistry going forward currently.

 

[Shoei]

Rogers cooks everyone and it could have been 2-0 to Villa.

Both teams giving up chances, Villa definitely taking risks by being so attacking but its paying off. We'll see if it pays off.

Villa have lost 1 out of their last 21 home games. They lost 1 home game last season, to Arsenal. This isn't an easy fixture.

 

[Shoei]

Viktor and Trossard on. Eze and Merino off.

Viktor hopefully will cause issues with his size and pace, Merino just wasn't able to get into the game.

 

[TY24]

Really positive start to the half

 

[Shoei]

Bossard already getting involved.

Still...no reward for effort.

 

[Shoei]

BOSSSSSSAAAAAAAAARDDDDDDDDD

 

[Shoei]

1-1.

We look a lot more balanced so far.

Game is FAR from done but positive start to the second.

 

[Shoei]

Cash is just killing us on that left hand side.

 

[Shoei]

This is the first game since the Liverpool game where our midfield has looked second best.

Haven't seen Zubi really be involved all game, Odegaard here and there, Rice having a human game for once.

 

[Shoei]

Trossard almost costing us a goal there with a very ordinary pass that lead to Watkins having another shot.

- Edit so did Calafiori with a shocking pass out of defence

 

[TY24]

We've given the ball away in the middle of the park far too easily and far too often

Villa could easily be up 2 or 3 here

 

[TY24]

Everything's just straight at the keeper ffs

 

[Shoei]

wow....martinez with an AMAZING save from Odegaard that might have slipped under the bar

 

[Shoei]

We are getting half chances....just nothing dropping.

Calafiori carded for professional foul, will miss Wolves next week so I'd imagine MLS will come in.

Villa bringing on more speed...Sancho.

 

[TY24]

Wouldn't mind Madueke on for an injection of pace against tired legs

 

[Shoei]

Villa still cutting us open, don't be surprised if they score again.

 

[Shoei]

OMG how did that not go in for Villa....

We are absolutely all over the place defensively.
