Mountain Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I watched it on tv and for large parts of the game everything sounded electric. I do attend, but it sounded great, moreso than most games. So I guess all I can say is... chill and enjoy the 5-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieDoor Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Atmosphere even was good in the posh seats near gallowgate end, songs came round from strawberry corner and people were joining in. Leazes is a lost cause like, been dreadful everytime i've been there bar Man City and Villa last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) That was something else. Villa didn't y have an answer. Those subs on 65 minutes. We're going to do some damage this season. Edited August 13, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Was strange watching Villa. You can see the talent and you can see the potential within the team method at times. There were passages when the used the ball very effectively. But without the ball they were not consistent nor cohesive. That’s not what I expected. Hope for their sakes Mings isn’t that bad because none of their other CBs looked as capable defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_once_removed Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 How did Carlos look? Been curious about how he'd do in the Prem after he almost signed for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Positives Chance creation - scored five, could have easily been more. Tonali, Isak and Wilson all missed decent chances and Joe had one off the line. The press - Our press was as suffocating as error and forced plenty of errors in the final third. Debuts - Tonali was superb and Barnes looked like a machine when he came on. Options off the bench - We brought on Longstaff, Anderson, Barnes and Wilson and still have Willock to come back. Negatives The left hand channel - First half Diaby constantly found space down the left, second half it was Cash. I haven't watched it back yet so I don't know who was tracking those runners, but it ultimately led to the goal and the Cash sitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did have more joy down our left but, for their goal, Tripps and Miggy didn't close down Dinge, Watkins was totally unmarked (Schar) then Diaby unmarked as both Botman AND Burn marked Bailey. Gordon not tracking Diaby eithe?? Bit of a catalogue which, I'm sure, will be dissected by Howe etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m a bit suprised we didnt seem to adjust that. But fair play to Villa, some really crips passing. For all the love, Burn really is the weak link. Upgrade there and we cooking!

Groundhog63 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'm with Eddie on this game. '5-1 flatters us to some extent. They gave us a hard game" I think, personally, they were a threat everytime they had the ball. They just didn't convert it into chances. We, conversely, we're ruthless. They did give up mind. Have to say watching all the extended but, even tho I did like the cunt, their keeper got a hand, or foot to nearly everything. Very unlucky. * The Wilson chance from the Barnes pass wasn't a fuck up. Was a great save. * cunt should've been sent off like 😂😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite his limitations there's something I really appreciate about having him in the team. Always makes his present felt somehow physically when engaging attackers and pushes people around on set pieces. I appreciate the guy still, although at some point an upgrade there will indeed be necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played through our press with some nice patterns from the back a few times, which most teams will struggle to do, but we'll never play against a higher, more dissorganised line all season. They'll sort it out like, unfortunately, as they pointed out on MOTD they just gave us far too much time in midfield to pick out a pass, it was the same in pre-season.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Who was it that did the Zidane turn early on, must have been about 3-5 minutes? Think it was either Trippier or Bruno? Outrageous anyway, we need some footage of it. Edited August 13, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Just had a skim of Villa's forum, found it interesting how they all think the ref was getting paid off, and giving us every decision under he sun. Where I was thinking the ref was terrible and gave them everything. Cognitive dissonance is real I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooovs Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I am almost sure that at first we were playing 4-2-3-1 when out of possession with big Joe behind Isak to press and not let them get out of their half easily which worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
