Bloody hell.

Rode our luck big time this half.

Yeah the young suicide pass and right at the end there both should have seen villa score

 

[Deulofeumygod]

So much to be positive about.

FOOTBALL IS BACK

HT we need to fight like f

second half
stay switched on

 

[DualityNSNO]

Disagree mate. Doucoure routinely covers more ground than any other because of it.

You're free to disagree mate. Heatmaps show the exact same thing.

 

[blackie_jones75]

Probs should be 1-3 ?

 

[jonnyg]

Actually put in a few decent crosses for once, but so so sloppy defensively.

 

[Paul Rideout]

We're 'playing' better but we're carrying too much dead weight on the pitch

 

[TrachyBlue]

Not great, but much better.

 

[lungo]

Bloody hell.

Rode our luck big time this half.

A 0:0 is very lucky.Defense is all over the place from time to time.Mangala and Gueye will have to play better

 

[danny=)]

HT summary
better attacking
worse defending

 

[carolinablue232]

How can you have no central midfield when playing 3 central midfielders?

Two of them occupy the same space and one just chases the ball around.

 

[Billy Dean]

Some signs of improvement there. More thought going into our attacking play. Forwards lacking belief a little bit. Main concern is if Villa step up a year after the break. Will be difficult for us then

 

[DualityNSNO]

Anyway, this is a much better and more coherent going forward display, with LITERALLY THE SAME PLAYERS.

Almost, as if, it was Dyche, and not the players. Hmmmmmmm.

 

[kenada_blue]

Villa wasteful

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yeah the young suicide pass and tight at the end there both should have seen villa score

Pickford decent save too.

Got better after first half hour. Hopefully continues second half.

Winnable this
