I'm actually more optimistic about this one than I was QPR. Not sure why I had a bad feeling about QPR. ( I know, I'm ashamed of myself, the result was probably my fault. i have flogged myself accordingly). I think we'll break our goal drought, and with a bit of luck we'll get a point or three

I agree that brad is not our problem, but I thought he should have done better on the first.... In fact, I would bet he would say the same. He actually missed a similar shot sliced the exact opposite foot and side of goal in the las match for USA.

Yes there is. But this can't be the excuse every time we bend over and receive a shafting from a team that may have more expensive players than us. Since it's equally true everytime, why can't it be used everytime. I understand your frustration, but not your logic

Too many hospital balls

"Fantastic football from Aston Villa". I heard it! Commentator said it! I swear! (29) Think I'll turn it off and celebrate !!!

Careful, you don't want that axe to get too sharp.

Why are you doing this? When I've had no video to watch, I've begged for that kind of clarity and detail. We should consider a designated commentator for every match

Cole?

That's fighting talk That's fighting talk. &(@: @)&?! (Fixed for you)

Sarcasm is the best! Is that sarcastic?

I have a slightly different spin on the tactical changes with subs. Clearly the tactics in the match shifted as we played deeper and hoofed it to Benteke more, but I don't think it was adding Benteke or Bacuna or grealish that cased it. It was pellegrini's move to pull of dzeko, and put on a midfielder. Previously, Delph, cleverly, and Westwood had numbers there. The extra midfielder took that numerical advantage away and forced Bacuna and grealish to drop a bit to help. This left Benteke even more isolated, so hoofing increased. It also decreased the short pass outlets, encouraging us to play it long. Just my opinion.

Woody. Hmmmm, you or Kompany, I know whose football opinion has more credibility. No disrespect intended.

Kompany said it was the best MC has played in the last few years. Makes our performance sound even better.

Was everyon critical of the double substitution not watching the match thread. Strong approval of the move from VT in real time....

I also think it's cool that whenever I type his name, my autocorrect makes it "freakish"

He's young and too light, but he physically pressured and dispossessed zaboletta at the attacking in, and tracked zaboletta back into the box where he headed away a cross. Not his best outing, but honestly nothing worked when he and Bacuna game on. Not sure that was down to them.

The obliteration of an entire city of people, all with their own families and hopes and dreams would quite upset me actually. Really? Even manchester? All they have is those hopes and dreams. Might be better off. Just sayin.

Freakish heads out of the penalty area, I don't think we will say that often Edit: grealish. Blasted autocorrect.

Damn !! Best defense I've ever seen, or most lucky. Either way, I like it

I'm beginning to think this could be our day

Our shape is getting ragged.

If lamp add comes for Fernandinho they will really be vulnerable in front of back 4

Damn!!! Both ends

Deep breath in through the nose, out through the mouth.... Repeat
