Fell apart completely after Ming's injury and fatty Tielemans coming into midfield. High line was murdered and Emery will have to change that up IMO, just too easy to exploit. The Tielemans sub was a strange one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 They controlled the first half more than we did, we were just very clinical. They’ll have a quality season but I don’t think they’ll match the run that Emery took them on last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieDoor Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 It should have been 7-1, it wasn't a flattering 5-1. Destroyed them and Emery didn't know what hit him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Only caught the highlights on MOTD then read back through this thread from page 27: How bad was Bruno? People seemed to be having a right go on him on here. What a result. I was highly critical of Gordon last year, but he looked great in the highlights. Isak's finishing is incredible. Tonali looks like a young marauding Pirlo Insane he plays for us. Barnes looked class. Thought Villa had a few good chances too, but we had so many more. Incredible result. Going to be a fun year.

christ Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Bruno was fine. People are going to need to accept he’s not always going to be the beating heart of virtually everything good we do now, and that doesn’t automatically mean he’s had a shit game.

Jackie Broon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, LV said: That definitely reflects every Villa fan I know. Reality check for them today/ I thought after the friendly that they might under perform this season if teams start to exploit their high line and insistence on playing out from the back more. Seems like a carbon copy of what happened with him at Arsenal. Went on a great run after he took over then teams started to exploit their high line and playing out from the back, but he just kept on playing the same way.

gbandit Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 With Bruno it’s not that he’s playing terribly, it’s that he never used to get caught on the ball but it’s happening every game now. He is sloppier with his close passing and I think it’s a concentration thing mostly. I do think he’ll get much sharper but we were treated to an almost flawless player for months and it was probably inevitable that he couldn’t keep that up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno was not at his best but still controlled his zone, Villa went toe to toe with us and bloodied our nose early doors, Mings injury spoiled the flow. Eddie must have pumped them at halftime cos they came out and just ran Villa into the ground to the point they were praying for the final whistle. Our class was there for all to see. Eddie and his staff are premier league champion quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimusSlime Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Villa looked like they gave up. Emery is overrated. Absolutely miles away from our level as a club from top to bottom. Bailey was terrible. Torres looked lost. Martinez is a cheat. Mings was unfortunate to be fair. Spineless performance from a club I will always dislike after their bedsheet antics and delighted to give them a hiding. Let’s face it our bench is better than their first 11. Let’s stop overrating other teams who are miles off Eddies fucking mags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Dare I say it but I thought his tactics were a bit arrogant Clear as fuck that playing a high line really isn't wise against us at home but he almost doubled down on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 To be honest, with how bad and biased the cunt was all game, I'm surprised those two goals stood. Would have thought he'd be fapping himself silly at the chance to rule those out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first, it’s the closest defender to the camera playing Botman comfortably on, and the 4th was tight but fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
