WakefieldVillan Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Apart from the two conceded headed chances at the start and end of the half that was an absolutely cracking first half performance. There is still a long way to go and I wouldn't be surprised to see us still lose this because they have individuals that can hurt us but we couldn't have asked for a better first 45 minutes back in the big time. Some of the posts after the team were announced were ridiculous, let's get behind the boys and the manager (he knows a LOT more than all of us)! Come on you Villa boys ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Jota is a good player, but correct call to leave him out today. We have countered well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Smith is going to have some words with Wesley and El Ghazi who have been weak with regards to staying on their feet. We're ruining some fleeting attacking moments by trying to get free kicks instead of just trying to manufacture something in open play. That said I think we have looked solid at the back considering the level of opposition, and we got more comfortable as time went on. Spurs haven't been great and I expect them to come out swinging in the second half, but this is ours to lose right now. This performance has filled me with hope, as 80% of the league are shite compared to Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Really proud of our performance so far. It's been a long time since I could say that about us in the Premier League. UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompedyret Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I'm prepared to give the new players some time to get up to speed with the premier league. To me, no one has let me down this half. Especially considering what we all thought when seeing the starting team. Fukcing great! I'd love if we dare to have a bit more confidence going forward to get some sort of attacking play, but I'll take whatever. This is clearly a team with lots of personality and belief, we play with purpose. Bring it on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game in PL away at Spurs and he has been kicked off the park. He has worked his socks off and has never stopped showing for the ball. Let’s get behind him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 hourihane, Taylor and Engles were stand outs for me , trez worked hard aswel, not sure Anwar is working hard enough , possibly Jota early in second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Elmo needs switching as he is getting slaughtered on that wing..taylor as well...wesley needs to stop falling over,same with elghazi..we really need to tighten this up and hit them on the break as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 10, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2019 Spurs have completely dominated the ball, but the best of the chances have all been ours. Trezeguet has been excellent I think, El Ghazi and Grealish seem threatening on the break - we just need a bit more from Wesley and a bot of luck. We're defending well, but Spurs will make chances. It's a really good first half for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might take him a while - not really sure what he is giving us - that said he was instrumental for the goal. Engels has impressed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGordon Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We've been very good so far, but Wesley needs to stay on his feet and we've had lady luck on our side too as they've missed a couple of good chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 good half but we need to keep possession better, as we are giving it away very cheaply, expecting free kicks and falling over a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted August 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2019 Engels was magnificent for 43 minutes, but then lost Kane twice. Sort it out with Elmo who takes him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 That's the last time I'm ever questioning Deano's lineups again... Taylor & Elmo have been excellent, and Trez's pace is a massive threat on the counter. He's set us up perfectly so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
