Watkins motm on numbers alone. Some of the things that Moreno did tonight were absolute filth. Pity Rogers was unable to score from that chance. Would have done him and Diaby the world of good.

Moreno goes Bang!

If at first y don't succeed ...

What a bit of decisive ball movement will do for you

You get Bluey's name out of your mouth!

What? Next you'll be telling me that the Finn brothers, Sam Neill, Phar Lap and pavlova are all from NZ too.

Btw Aus play Sth Korea in the Asian Cup quarter finals later today. Barring a massive shock Ryan will be in goals, but you might get a glimpse of Gauci on the bench, which will give you an insight into his Villa career for the next 6 months.

It's the Russell Crowe effect. Anything great that comes out of Aussie the bloody Kiwis come out and claim them. Next they'll be claiming Margot Robbie

Absolutely top drawer young keeper. Has all the attributes but also maturity beyond his years. Will be Australia's no 1 soon enough. I think if this goes through it will be a loan back deal until next season. Sitting on the bench watching Emi won't do much for him or us.

He has absolutely nothing to work with going forward. Tielemans' work rate is poor and Ramsey is still working his way back. Hopefully Rogers might help reinvigorate that left side for us a bit

The one goal we scored was from fast thinking, decisive movement. I'm not sure why we just fluff around with it 95%of the time. I mean, if you're going to turn it over, at least turn it over trying something...

Very introverted. It took 3 changes to get the team playing with any sort of spark and desire and then even that disappeared with the offside goal.
-
To be honest we could still be playing and Chelsea wouldn't have got the ball in the net, despite literally gifting them three one on ones in the box. Martinez was impenetrable. Had Doug's goal stood it might have been a completely different outcome, but I think the main thing missing is that little bit of crispness from our mids. Poor first touches leaving to turnovers were the order of the first half. It's impossible to beat a full high press when that happens.
-
Once Cash and Tielemans came on we started to break them down plenty and should have scored but just couldn't quite get it right. We lack the fluency of the teams above us. Too many slightly under or over hit passes and clunky first touches to take hurt teams.

Victim FC strikes again

How the **** did he stay on the pitch?
-
Main danger for us is McNeil if he comes on. Can cause havoc. And Carlos passing to the opposition. Otherwise we should win

Absolutely pointless foul it was

Ratings & Reactions: FAC3: Middlesbrough v Villa
Ponky replied to limpid's topic in FAC3: Middlesbrough a
I think the goal we scored is something we're going to see a bit more of and I think Cash alluded to that after the game. One way to beat a compact defence is to shoot from distance and while it's not a high percentage approach you can draw defenders out and create space with it. And we've been sucker punched by deflected goals from outside the area several times this season. Good to get one of our own. -
Given very few youth players have even made the bench this season "play the kids" is not big on the list of Emery's objectives this season. It will be a strong team I think, with maybe just McGinn and Konsa rested. We may see Lenglet at LB but I suspect Moreno will start to get even more minutes into his legs.
-
We need to be more clinical. At the end of the day it was a 4-1 game that ended 3-2 and only by a whisker. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster since Man City. Hopefully with some players returning we can kick on.
-
Thank **** for that
-
Great for us but they did a far worse shirt pull in the first half that wasn't carded.
-
Great to see we're actually utilising the place in this team for a change
