COYB!

 

[ParisToffee]

Dreadful fannying around on ball :-( gomes awful but as usual even after dcl miss we ll only see changes in last 15 minutes :-( Kean and iwobi on needed at half time if Silva had balls

 

[bluetad]

We're not missing Gueye, we can press teams and are good forward we just need to finish more of the chances we get.

 

[Real_madras]

What’s with the suit Marco? Seems less animated without his track suit on. Get Richy and DCL OTF

There's a few I'd like to see go off. Lots of poor games out there tonight.

 

[hktoffee]

2 and a half games of total rubbish from DCL, seen enough

What does he do in training to make managers persist with him.

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

Come on Blues...you are my first team in my weekend accumulator.....dont let me down....

 

[Thomasc]

Don’t think we can afford to take Richy off. Hes one of our only real chances of nicking a goal.

 

[Berenger]

Good first 20, all going to plan I think. The glaring error -- which has been coming, if we look back at the two games we've had -- has thrown us off course.

CM not functioning brilliantly, but better than some are going on about.

DCL should have scored, but the good elements of his hold up play and channel-running haven't been happening. This is the sub I would make (Kean) immediately.

 

[mahermi1]

Remember van Wolfswinkel? He got his only game in the PL against us.

Yes I know, so many do it and then just drifting obscurity.

 

[Agent Blue]

how tappable is Nuno?

valente ......well past it mate.

 

[II McColl II]

We've actually gave Cameron Jerome V2 the #9 shirt haven't we .... Honestly still in disbelief.

Got no belief we'll score this half unless we make early changes and see some positive signs. Far too many of these midfielders and attackers haven't shown up since May and have 0 belief any of them will put the ball in without a bit of luck.

Even Richarlison looks fed up of playing out right in the wilderness with Seamus just constantly shouting at the poor lad and doing his best forrest gump impression on the overlap.

 

[DualityNSNO]

So you're happy with the team he's put out?

Not at all, but can see the reasoning behind it instead of being a tit about it - Iwobi and Kean joined a few days ago and aren't up to speed.

Wesley joined Villa abar 3 months ago and has been with them to training camps and everything, played friendlies, etc.

How you can't see the difference between the situations you've brought up is well and truly beyond me.

Digne has the player faced, Mina should be dropped back with the defensive line and the through ball isn't an option. Not once did he check his positioning.

The guilty party is Schneiderlin, nobody else, he has himself perfectly position to read the danger and Mina is blindsided.

Take a look at the goal again, Schneiderlin was jogging away at slow pace leaving the massive gap for a through ball

 

[hktoffee]

No subs...

 

[brieverton]

Lets see what type of 'character' we show in the second half

Im guessing players are mentally thinking, its one of them days, nothing will go for us so lets just write it off. Expect to see similar in the second half.

That's it really. 70% chance we lose this now, 25% draw, 5% win.
