I might be wrong here but I don’t remember there being one Villa game televised for free since the restart. Certainly not on the BBC or Prime. There has only been a few on for free I have BT Sports through EE so can stream on Xbox so I am not too bothered other than at times the stream quality goes down and its buffered so will be about 30 seconds plus behind the other games on Sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's why it should've been on Sky Golf, as well as that being the sport those teams and Steve Bruce will be currently more interested in than football.

punkiller1981 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I’ve already moved on from Sunday but having seen hearts and Patrick thistle relegated on points per game and given we would have gone down on that basis I hope the premier league or even better the whole of English football rule that out as an option ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very good when he was young. Then suffered injuries and depression and his life went a bit off the rails. I read something somewhere that he's doing alright for himself now though which is good.

If Laursen was making so many clearances wtf were our full backs doing!!! Well I mean centre backs playing at fb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 2 hours ago, Mjvilla said: Laursen - a rare breed that absolutely loved defending! Absolute quality. And a bloody handsome devil too. Curtis Davies said on the 1874 podcast that he preferred playing with Cueller as Laursen cleared both left and right side making Davies uncertain where to position himself. However I always thought he played better with Laursen so there you go. Sorry not really on topic. But it shows the traditional central defender is a bit of a dying breed now, a ball player a la Mings seems more popular. It seems modern football encourages defenders to be more attacking and defensive midfielders to really carry the weight of protecting the back line. That is why Luiz improving and learning his role more post Covid lockdown was so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jota throughball one we’d done pretty much the same move a few weeks before at the Walsall friendly. It’s a shame Jota was so weak and immobile as technically a very good player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked like they were forging a good little partnership, until we realised that Jota just wasn’t fast or physical enough for this league.
