a m ole Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 People saying we were 'outplayed' No we weren't, not even close. It wasn't pretty second half, but they got the job done. I think Bruce made the right choices in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you going do hey? The get the **** out comment might be an over reaction but the general unhappiness over a pretty poor performance? Think it's fair personally still saw nothing tonight to suggest Bruce has properly got hold of this team and has them well drilled playing how he wants them to, so that's how many games last season, pre season and 2 games this season, not sure how many he gets before he can be criticised for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he gets 5-10 league games to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 1 hour ago, AshVilla said: It's the manner of the victory. Blose spanked a league 2 side last night 5 - 1. Best Bruce could manage was scraping a 2 - 1 win with help from an OG from the opposing team. Not really good enough is it considering our aspirations are to get promoted this season and we can't even put away a league two side comfortably.

Kiwivillan Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I was hoping we'd play 352 with Bree Chester Samba and was delighted when I saw the line up then find out he played Thor at LB. Another mind boggling Bruce decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intention with this is to look at how Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa play from an aesthetic and functional point of view. https://7500toholte.sbnation.com/2017/8/8/16111776/talking-tactics-lies-damned-lies ......thoughts?

Popular Post KSV Posted August 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2017 I know we have done it tough in recent seasons.. but why are we such a negative bunch. Previous years we lost to worse sides at home at full strength. Bruce played our youth with some players who haven't played in a while in woeful conditions away from home and we won. Just enjoy it and leave the whinging for when we lose. God just imagine when we do. It's going to be horrible. It's making me believe what I've said previously. Some sections of our fans are negative and letting the team down. Just get behind the players. Way more positives than negatives today. If you can't see that.. maybe stop following football. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
