Match Day Thread Aston Villa Vs Sunderland Match Thread

much improved performance 2nd half.. will happlily take the draw.. Ola run outta gas the last 20mins but he improves us immensely.. still think we are useless at tracking back defenders and we give em too much room.. it couldve gone tits up but happy with that!

 

Well, if we're honest that was ****e again. Our defence si truly woeful, we were lucky not to lose imo. Hope we have several names lined up in the last few days of the transfer window or we could be ****ed, frankly.

 

Unbeaten in 2. Tide turned?

 

I'm stuck offshore in Gabon so how did ola do on his debut??

 

Good away point that. Rode our luck a bit but happy. There's a team here. M'Vila is out of this world. Ola is a unit and a half. so good on the ball for a big man.

 

Looked a bit unfit but very good mate. Got an assist

 

Yeah Mvia was unfit but is starting to get fitter and looked good today. If this guy gets fit we could have a tidy midfield. Catts has to be dropped now surely, his head just seems wrong at the moment.

 

Sunderland barely managed a draw against an illness ravaged Villa while 10 man Newcastle fought valiantly to earn a brilliant defeat.

Just pre-guessing the chronic and the Daily Ashley.

 

He was asking about Ola mate, but yeah M'Vila still has bit to go fitness wise but getting there game by game

 

Mvila and Toivonen have the sort of composure we've lack for ages in midfield, Fletcher is a oxygen thief.

 

Why DA brought him on instead of Watmore is beyond me.
Opportunity missed imo.

 

Yeah I know mate but I was just using Mvia as an example as he looked unfit first game too. If we get them both fit they will add a bit of class to the midfield

 

Not a great performance, new lads all look a class apart.

CAtts and Rodwell should be worried about getting game time. Jones was ****e until Larson came on, evident our fb's need more protection.

Good point

 

Agree mate, a point is good but can't help thinking 2 dropped.

 

Scoring heaps which is new for us, let's hope something is done at the back, if we can tighten up we will be half decent.

We probs didn't deserve a point but that's 3 unbeaten and time to look at the positives, hopefully something happens for an extra boost before Tuesday.

The actual Advocaat players really are a level above.

 

Ah, I get you. Massive improvements to our squad. Lens too. We need that big strong centre forward to hold up play at the front as Fletch and DG are useless. Come Ellis and Congerton, land us a unit. And a leftback if there's any pennies left

 

Full backs are worrying me fella, Thought Kaboul was much improved.

 

it just feels good not to lose to bloody villa...

 

On the fullbacks, they need more protection yes but they to air a lot more caution themselves knowing they're not getting the best protection.

 

Positives:
We scored 2 goals, last season scoring 1 was a miracle.

Mvilla, Lens and Ola look like good signings.

Unbeaten in 3 games now.

Negatives:
Defence is still a mess
We are desperate for a striker
Catts is a liability again.
We are bottom.
