TheAuthority Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2015 Very good half. Grealish for Sinclair on the 60th maybe.I'd be happy with that. Or just whisper it - Nzogbia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 8, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm not sure how we could score in this game, but I'm very happy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 You watch a games where another team is playing someone like Man City and they give them a game. More often than not you know that Villa will, at best, be under siege for the majority of the game when it comes to our turn.Today is the first time in a long time where we've delivered on effort, composure, possession and craft. It would be fantastic if we could look a bit more creative in the final third, but I'm not forgetting that we're playing the team at the top of the league.Whether we win, lose or draw I'm really pleased with the game so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Tidy, very tidy. Grealish or bacuna for Sinclair at some point. Hutton, Sanchez and Gil excellent so far. Like to see more from Veretout, he's playing deeper than Gana most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 ok so I just got in. how are we playing under Garde so far? Promising? Same ol'? Wobble?far more organised, closing down quickly but weve not looked good going forward., but then neither have city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thoughts so far: Gil and Veretout playing well together. And what was Tim Sherwood on. How did he not realize that these are some of our best players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 City is not getting through that midfield diamond. Really good half, though not creating chances or getting runs in behind. Great half by our midfield, both in possession and in defence. Gil, Amavi and Sanchez has been our best players IMOClark, Sinclair and Hutton to an extent our weak links. Also Guzan worries me.

VillaCas Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Good Half against the best team in the countryA decent selection and a clear plan and we look so much better. Anyone still think that this squad are not good enough for a mid-table finish?Let's hope we can hold on or even pinch a goal but I expect us to concede as we tireVery early days but already a little light at the end of the tunnel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well well they appear to be organised and have lost the "chickens with heads cut off" style. Ayew is very clever with his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spoony Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2015 Anybody who thinks Richardson is a better LB than Amavi should never work in football again.My word.You look at Amavi and it's just alarming anyone thought it was ok to drop him for Richardson. It's like dropping Messi for Bowery. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I think Gestede needs to come on to give us a bit of presenceplaying up top on your own is not easy but I get the feeling Ayew doesn't really know the runs to makeget Sinclair off and stick Ayew widefirmly believe we will lose but a very good half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Possibly would bring Grealish on for Veretout at some point in the second half. The Frenchman has been very tepid IMO, has unnecessarily given the ball away too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
