KingArthur Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think Longstaff has been ok. He makes runs from the deep which are causing serious problems for Villa. Tielemans is defending like my granny there. Not interested one bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Miley's been class but if he's gonna play this role then he needs to not be allowed to use his right foot in training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Great first half tbh. Hope we don't drop back too early in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Really good away performance, breaking well, and defending as a team. Our shape throughout has been spot on. That said they have a goal in them, so if we can get the next one to not make it a nervy end that'd be grand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Best half of football I've seen in ages from us. We're taking good advantage of Villa's high back line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a really good side but the amount of times their back line has been broken only for the opposition to fuck it up is crazy. They also seem to have that knack of deflections, ball losses, and clearances falling perfectly to them (like Dortmund seemed to against us) Don't get me wrong, I only think it's part of why they've been successful, you make your own luck, and I've also seen them just play brilliantly as well, but I do also think they're really really outstripping their performances this season. This half is largely what I've seen when I've watched Villa this season defensively. It's Emery and they're good so I'm fully expecting them to fight back strong in the 2nd half and honestly wouldn't feel comfortable unless it was like 4 nil, but we've played to their high line weaknesses really well and really should have a couple more.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 minute ago, SUPERTOON said: Hamstring ? Possibly. Seemed to walk off reasonably ok, probably means he’s out for the season (I shouldn’t even joke about that given the season so far …) Shame as this has been a cracking game of football and a first class NUFC performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We're 2-0 up against the best home team in the league. Doubt any player of ours deserves any critique right now no matter how many or few touches of the ball they've had. Just please keep it up second half.

Stifler Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We need to take a little bit more control, a couple of spells they have been able to create chances and get in behind us. We have done well otherwise though, we just can’t be complacent, and our 2nd half performances recently have been exactly that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Superb half, not sure where Villa's intensity is but if they continue to play as they have, we can win this and kick-start the climb. The Isak injury is bollocks though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
