Cronky Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 They're getting through our midfield a bit too easily. If Villa start playing with a bit more belief we could be in trouble. Barnes for Miggy would bring about an improvement. Bruno looks like he's searching for a role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I think Villa are able to play through our midfield too easily which is a worry. we also must improve our final ball, overall not bad by any means but definitely room for improvement.

MrRaspberryJam Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Games gone a bit flat since the Mings injury. Got all the hallmarks of a nervy second half and Villa sucker punch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) No Goalkeeper in goal should automatically make it a goal scoring opportunity in my opinion. Cant have a goalkeeper 20 yards out his box deliberately fouling players ffs. Definite red for me Edited August 12, 2023 by Pokerprince2004 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 So having the ball at you feet with no goal keeper in goal is not a goal scoring opportunity 😂 comical. I’d like to see a better replay of the hand ball too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I think we have been better than Villa, they have resorted to a lot of punts over the top. We need to keep it tight and maintain the press, their defence is suffering tryi g to bring the ball out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Just now, TRon said: He needs to wake up, getting caught on the ball at times like he did last season. I feel like we started well but are a bit lucky to be ahead, think we have been a bit sloppy in possession. Villa are good man. We're going to have to work hard for the result. Botman getting a yellow there was really bloody stupid too. Just get the hell off the pitch. Not happy at all with him having to manage that in the second half now.

Smal Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Isak and Bruno off it that half, otherwise very good tbh. Villa are good and have quality all over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Been a really weird game that, been some high octane stuff intertwined with some everything feeling flat. Gordon and Joelinton has been class. There are a few that's passing is slightly off, and who's first touch is a bit rusty, which is to be expected first game of the season. Still 2-1 up at half-time. Can't complain too much.

alexf Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Slower pace has suited Villa. Not sure if we couldn't keep up the intensity or just recharging to go again. But they couldn't live with the early pace. Miggy was super quiet. Didn't touch the ball for 20+ mins and Bruno hasn't looked quite on it. Everyone else playing really well.

Our centre backs are not finding the midfield Exactly, it looks we are literally playing without a holding midfielder. All our three midfielders move up when we are trying to score and leave this massive void in front of our defense. Aston Villa is simply walking through that space without any challenge.
