The_Steve Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 More wingplay, they cannot handle Ollie at all. AEG and Traore are drawing them in and allowing him extra space. For all his quality today, I still think Pickford is shakey on crosses. Cash's crossing is top drawer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those unlucky games and I'm not going to jinx us by saying what I think will happen so I'll leave it at there. I'll remain positive we can knick this one from the Rogers.

Vive_La_Villa Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Much better. That’s the team of the first half of the season even without Jack. Just a shame about the scoreline. Edited May 1, 2021 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Blimey, I need to have a lie down during half time! That was exciting stuff. Villa on fire. No idea how we are 1-1 after that 45 minutes but I guess this is the “Villa way”. My only slight negative is Douglas Luiz. We need an upgrade in that position this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we are obviously capable. lol Hahaa I am really delighted with this performance. It looks like a performance with jack in the team. Thats how good we have been. I dont expect to play like this every week but having a go ams passing ans the attacking play. Its been unbelievablely great to watch. How Everton are drawing this is just madness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldVillan Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Cracking first half, 1-3 Villa would have been a fairer reflection of the game. First game I've watched us play since Jack's been out where I've not missed him! Not been Traore's biggest fan of late, but fair play tonight, he's looked very naughty. Only downside is the conceding of a poor goal but overall this is the Villa I ❤ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hope Mina and Keane stay on the bench as Watkins has the better of the current centre backs. Just hope we don't end up regretting those missed chances. Come on Villa - keep attacking and we can do these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted May 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2021 Best we've played in months. Keep it going villa. Ross and traore seem to be the difference. When they're up for it, it really flows through the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we had more of a better creative attacking midfielder who could keep play away from defensive areas more, then you wouldn't even be noticing Luiz so much. We just need better on the wings and in attacking midfielder and then the CDM and back line positions will sort themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
