Does this game go to extra time if level at 90 minutes or straight to penalties?

HT.

Keep it up lads, I'm enjoying this. (Yes, I know it's only a friendly).

No such thing as a friendly for a professional footballer!!

But totally agree, good half from Villa and I too am actually enjoying watching us play.

If we can just nick one goal, I think we could hang on and win it..

P.S: In the event of 0-0 at 90 minutes, is it extra time and pens or just straight pens after 90 minutes?

Sloppy by the one player you expect to be experienced at this stage of the game...

Poor performance, but there are a few positives to take from it...

Lichaj and Albrightons continuing progression..

They both look like future stars and I am sure that Bannan will also be pushing for 1st team action next season.

Our next game is not till 29th July, so hopefully it will give the players a little more time to adjust to the heat...

We may have new signings in by the 29th....

Negatives....

Ermmm...

Nope, will hold my tongue!! I think anyone that watched the game will see the negatives for themselves..

We should be at the stage in pre-season where our work rate and performance is stepping up and things are starting to gel...

Maybe - but we don't have our squad to gel yet.

Although I agree Pilchard..

We have had what we have got since the players reported back, so regardless of the 4 players missing, we should have seen some fluency from the players on show tonight, especially as they have been pre-season training without said missing players...

I don't think it is about slagging the team off, I just expect a bit more, pre-season or not..

Apparently not judging by tonights performance...

And I think anyone that thinks different is kidding themselves...

Tonight was/is poor, pre-season or not..

Shocking from Friedel if you ask me!!

He could have quite easily held that..

Good to see the fringe players like Albrighton and Licahj showing the rest of the 'seniors' up.

Those 2 have been the best Villa players on the pitch tonight

Just tuned in. Who's captain?

Was Petrov, but since he's gone off I don't know who is now.

Reo Coker I think... :|

Just tuned in. Who's captain?

Was Petrov...

Think it might be RC now

Very interesting change...

The 2 players capable of doing something in this game (Ash Young and Petrov) both off for Bannan and Osbourne...

I hope MON knows what he is doing??

Hare on for Carew.

I thought it would have been better to pair the 2 up, but MON obviously has other ideas??

Friendly or not, this is really poor from Villa...

Approaching 65 minutes now and not a single Villa shot yet...

Is Lichaj the new Rory Delap?

He looks like he has a pretty good throw on him...

Cmon Villa, lets show some class in this second half..

I bet if we had signed 7 world class players we would be winning by now

Just like Man City DIDN'T today...

I have no idea where the American commentator got entertaining football from thou, lol.

Same place as he got 'Zat Knight is in the bench for Villa'?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

Thanks for the links everyone...

All up and running now, hopefully the second half will give us some excitement?

Half time changes needed....

Have we even had a shot on goal?

Jack Woodward should join the Gol commentary team...

He would fit in easily...

Friedel to the resuce, our defence looked a bit fragile there..

Looking a bit 'lightweight' up front now..

I am still struggling with links...

Veetle is lagging madly for me and the peace cup site is even worse!!

Any tips?
