Caddy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 On the balance of things I'd say 2-1 is a just scoreline, but of course it's some jammy goal that gives the a lifeline. I agree with what other have stated about Matiusz Cashinski. Getting lit up by Garnacho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 Second goal like that already this season. Let's see if this one's as big as the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia and Watkins been poor. Tbf I'm Watkins biggest critic but he had a good half IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 If we go on to win, Unai is an instant hero. Been a good game so far though, be amazing to go and get a couple more second half. Lets see if the first half time team talk has us come out the blocks quickly again or the age old Villa curse kicks in regardless of manager and we invite pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive signs today of what he’s trying to implement. Just need the players to develop more with the system and bring in better players. Bright future here.

Talldarkandransome Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We are fine, of course they were gonna get a jammy deflected goal. We're not making mistakes, Buendia the only below par performance for me, and that's me being harsh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 Probably need another goal here but we've played amazingly until the last 10 mins when they looked a bit knackered and loose. Will need to use 5 subs I reckon, our fitness doesn't look where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 History suggests a 2-3 last minute defeat. Let's see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can he do to revitalise our attacking play and strengthen our defense? Luckily I have massive confidence in him more than anyone to do this.

OhioVilla Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Leon Bailey's transformation since the departure of Gerrard has been nothing short of magical. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Fantastic first 30 minutes and then they came into it in the final 15. We’ve done ever so well though, just a few sloppy passes letting us down. Need to keep the intensity up and keep our concentration. We can do this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 Can’t let it affect our mentality, up until they flukey goal we looked confident and playing with a plan. Just need to 0-0 or 1-0 the second half and we’ve won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Mostly excellent. Watkins hold up play very good. The goal was coming but how it came was very unfortunate. desperately need to get the next goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 With some composure we'd have been 4-0. With some composure we can score two more quite easily. Just like fear, confidence spreads through the side. Buendia gets a rollocking and 5 more mins for me. Stop shovelling lazy passes off, hold the ball.

KMitch Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 What a half!!! I can't remember us ever being that patient and composed on the ball... A great example is looking at how we responded to their high press early on before our first goal was vastly different from Gerrard's methods and even Smith's. You'd sense that eventually they'd get impatient and boot the ball up the field into the channel eventually, but by slowing down and continuing to be patient, we'd eventually find a wide open fullback to start the attack up the field. Martinez is playing a blinder today. Unlucky about the defection just before halftime, but Emi looks unstoppable today. Digne looks like the fullback who was getting called up to the French national team again today. Bailey is mercurial... You sense something special is going to happen every time he gets the ball. It doesn't always come off, but when it does it's magical. Emery has been a big presence on the sidelines directing and encouraging the boys all game. Great start to his spell as our manager. Let's see if we can fine tune some things this half and walk away with all three points today! UTV!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Unlucky OG but they bossed the last 12 minutes or so of the half. Over to Unai. Let's see what he has in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Just knew it was going in as soon as Shaw shaped up. The luck and decisions they continually get against us is almost unbelievable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
