He loves Villa and everything about them

We want Barnes.

Like when you used to be able to turn fouls off in FIFA.

:lol:

Pen again.

Blatant pen surely.

Stay tuned.

We are very much treating this as a training session, I don’t think even the overall approach matters. Howe didn’t even go into the changing room at half time, this is obviously about looking at individuals and maybe a couple of combinations.

Why couldn’t they just make the subs at half time?

Villa haven’t heard this is pre season.

Why is nobody mentioning Bidace?

Villa have to be one of the most difficult midfields to play against. Kamara is lovely to watch, Buendia is lethal.

Ando will be staying.

Enjoyable, I like games where I don’t care about the result. Formation a bit of a farce, Dubs, Murphy and Dummett standing out for their badness. Tonali needs to find a role but obvs these games aren’t representative.

Great by Unai Emery there.

Villa are very confident passing the ball into midfielders on the half turn, very difficult to stop.

Bruno looks in good shape.

I’d forgotten how poor Dummett is, it’s almost refreshing to watch a man so unsuited for what he’s doing.

We’re all over the place but it’s still a fun watch. A bit unfair of Villa to play their settled lineup in their normal formation.

It’s the midfielders of Villa able to get on the half turn, receive a pass and immediately burst forward.

Always think it’s funny how commentators just pick one name for double-barrelled players. Harsh on the Bidace part of Philogene.

Not bad for someone who should have left the club about a decade ago.

Just to protect someone else I guess. He’s obviously not going to play in the league.

Yeah, he’s class. Didn’t he create the most chances in the league while playing for Norwich?

Should’ve been blocked and saved.
