Talldarkandransome Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Jesus I'd have been happy with 0-0.. I thought Duran had his shirt pulled just before he shot that last one. Here's hoping for another Villa goal and a calmer half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Just now, Jas10 said: Defence lost midfield poor Just not the right lineup and players so “off it”. No control in midfield, pull McGinn back and get either Zaniolo or Bailey supporting Duran instead. Or, you know, make some subs… agree apart from the bold bit you could argue thats part of what this competition is for...tielemans needs to get up to speed, would rather it was tonight than sunday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 A bit disappointing but some players unfamiliar to our team… should have been fired up, motivated, disciplined, focussed and organised… but we got the goals Need a much better showing in 2nd half and A CHANGE OF SHIRTS!!!

Indigo Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Fun stuff so far, think it's notable how unathletic this team is at the back and in midfield, which makes them much easier to get at in situations like the second goal where they're getting nowhere near the loose ball and Legia have gone from back to front in a matter of seconds. Kamara has been worryingly off form so far this season. Been poor so far here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 McGinn has hardly been involved so something needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Can quite easily blame the defence but Tielemans and Kamara are playing as if they don't give a shit. Kamara particularly, his head seems to have gone. Duran has been really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I do not like this high line we play. Having said that we showed real character to go in all square, so let's hope the defence and midfield work a bit better second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted September 21, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2023 Both teams poor defensively but great going forward so 2-2 is about right so far. However, I’d like to see Villa hold onto the ball more particularly the two in front of the defence. Tielemans & Kamara have given Villa’s defence no protection at all.

Enda Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Is Lenglet actually on the pitch? Why is Chambers running through jelly? Can we clone Duran? Do we have full backs? Is Martinez wearing a bib? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted September 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2023 We will win this easily in the end, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 5-2 at the end... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted September 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2023 Well, at least it hasn't been boring! When I saw the team sheet I thought it was dangerous to have 2 new players in Lenglet & Chambers into a back four for an away tie in Europe. And inevitably we've looked very shaky at the back. Boubs has also been in poor form this season IMO. On a positive note, Duran and Zaniolo look great. I understand Unai wanted to control games with lots of possession and build up, but some teams are susceptible to a ball over the top and against pace. That's where our 2nd goal came from. Maybe we look a little precious at times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I’m intrigued to see whether Unai will fix this with subs or try to get this team playing properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it is but he's not the same player as last season, thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 In my view we should have started stronger (at the back). Got a lead and switched our "better" players off at 60. I think we might have to do it the other way round to win here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
