Villa at Home (Carabao Cup) - Match Thread

[Sly]

This one is Ricardo.

 

He currently looks like Wesley Snipes in “White Men Can’t Jump”.

[Fox85]

YT has gave the ball away over 15 times in that 1st half.

 

Get fuchs off and get Ihanacho on

Villa are clogging up the middle too much and doing a good job of mixing it up. We need to change the formation at least to get between the gaps like we did early on in the game.

Ref is wank

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer: I'm not blaming the ref for us losing as weve been shit, just stating a fact

[justfoxes]

2nd half hammer them City still on for my 3-1 💙🦊💙🦊

[CloudFox]

So frustrating. We were completely on top of them and then let a silly goal in. They've grown in confidence and are now just getting everyone behind the ball to stop us breaking.

 

This is the real test of our attackers: can we find a way through in the second half?

[Messi]

Change it back to 4-1-4-1 and get Choudhury and Barnes on for Tielemans and Chilwell please.

Intensitee, qualitee, fuchmee

[twister]

Played so well first thirty minutes then gave a awful goal away

 

Almost last season stuff, need to get bthe finishing boots on sharpish

 

Wonder if a change of formation with Fuchs off might help.

I fancy us to square it, but it hasn’t been good, lbh.

Been disappointed with Praet this half, first I’ve really seen him but he seems happy to play on the periphery of the game and play nice sideways passes as opposed to getting the game by the balls and dictating the tempo on the front foot.

Step up from Tielemans though, at least he can tell the different between blue and whatever the **** the colour Villa play in is

[Toddybad]

Get Fuchs off for Barnes and go to our normal formation. Stick Praet in the Ndidi role to start with and consider Hamza for Tielemans if that isn't working. Gray is then the last hope if needed later.

[Guest Manini]

Has anybody else noticed we look so much better away from home?

[KFS]

Knew this would happen without N’Didi. Did Tielemans complete a pass first half? Villa fans insufferable and Grealish is a ****. 
 

All things we know already. As you were.

[Vacamion]

 

Jesus, some of the reaction in here.

 

We're not exactly Man United last night.

 

We still have every chance.

 

[Ian Nacho]

Praet ineffective. Tielemans sloppy. Fuchs all over the shop. Wrong shape.

He deffo plays better when he's angry

[The Guvnor]

Fcuking hell what a sh#t show.too many of our key players not 'on it' yet.

Come on Brendan sort the fcukers out.

[SecretPro]

Too much sideways nonsense, forward movement has been very very poor.

Gray isn’t in the squad.

Youri and Fuchs off - Hamza and Barnes on - move Perez out wide.

We've contrived to be worse since their goal. Absolutely no response, we're so much better than this and we're fluffing our lines, big time.
