st albans fox Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Some of our free kicks ......in fact nearly all of our free kicks .......what’s the point ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Played pretty well first half just lacked that final ball. Villa do look a threat on the break but we look much better on the ball. Can see Madders coming on at some point and possibly even Slimani which is something I never thought I'd say again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Not that much different from the first half v West Ham other than that we’re still level. Villa just waiting for us to make a mistake in possession, which Tielemans has done twice, and our final ball is simply not good enough. Could go either way.

I’m no hater but it does seem like any promising move dies with Perez Yep. I'll be honest, I have no sense of excitement or anticipation when Perez receives the ball, which is very odd for a so called attacking player.

That_Dude Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 (edited) Villa definitely improved from last time we played them. Fofana is quite the good surprise and Castagne is confirming that he's the real deal. Edited 18 October 2020 by That_Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCCHRIS Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 As others have said, grealish is a good player but the commentary love kissing his behind for play that the likes of Barnes do consistently. Also noticed the holding onto the ball thing after commiting a foul, odd he can get away with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod.E Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Cliché time. First goal is huge here. We've defended well but I think they just about shaded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Not surprised with there niggly fouls. They did it constantly in the league cup games last season. We looks similar to previous games. A bit toothless. We lack a spark.. Hopeful Maddison or Under will come on and inject some creativity which is what we need. This has got a 1-0 Slimani scruffy goal all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 (edited) Why on earth are we passing back instead of forward when we have players in the box, we breaking down our own attacks. Better to have an attack and lose the ball rather than keep it for an extra minute or two. We seem to be valuing possession over goal attempts.

Raw Dykes Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Decent half considering the injury list. Fofana looks a very good signing so far. Leaps like a salmon, very tidy on the ball and can pass forwards very well. Can't really believe he's only 19. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCCHRIS Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Perez looking like same old perez. Just about ticks over but not showing any brilliance or like he could do anything special. Get Under on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 If soyuncu picks up the ball after he fouled Antonio two weeks ago then we probably don’t concede .....it’s call professionalism and we generally lack it because our players are a bit young and wet behind the ears in that regard ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SO1 Posted 18 October 2020 Share Posted 18 October 2020 Amazing how Fofana just slots right in. Keeps it simple. There was one pass that blew my mind. No wonder Puel wanted so much for him. He's an absolute steal and its only the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
