Pre Match - Aston Villa (H) - Sun 14:00

[Modo]

One of these days Duran will get the ball within one meter of the goal

 

[Dreambeliever]

Slowed down now which is fine. 3-0 will do.

Villa don't want to get more embarrassed

Jürgen's not happy

 

[Squiggles]

Villa have been muck.

A comfortable win was much needed after our ten men exploits over Newcastle and Bournemouth.

If Doak isn’t going to get any minutes, rather he went in loan somewhere.

Europa League maybe?

He will, but more important to keep bedding Endo in, right now.

Europa League maybe?

Why was Jurgen against throwing him on today? Too scared to take Salah off?

More senior players needing minutes, I guess?

Plus 4 mins

Endo on for YNWA

Third on GD from Spurs after 4 games and no red cards

 

[Modo]

FT good win. A bit disappointed that we stopped pushing for more goals, but all in all a good performance.

 

[Shay_K]

3pts

 

[Hansern]

What a win and a great performance.
For all the flack they get both Matip and Gomez were very good.

Its like you want to cry with joy over having a well functioning midfield that can run.

Szobo, boss!

 

[Dreambeliever]

Superb display.
What a difference a couple of CM’s make eh?

I fucking hate that it’ll be all for nothing with City walking it but nice to be playing exciting football again and starting with 10 pts from 4 tough games and a sending off in two of them!!!

 

[Dreambeliever]

Salah

4 games
2 goals 2 assists

Love to see it!

 

[Shay_K]

A proper functioning midfield protects our defence.
...Which is what we appear to have right now.

 

[Dreambeliever]

If Nunez could finish Salah would have had 4 assists today 😀

 

[FreshRed]

Quansah looked very comfortable. Has pace, good positioning, comfortable and confident enough to go on a little productive run when space was available. Villa weren’t doing much, but he could be our next academy star.

 

[Judge Jules]

Let's hope so - presumably he's the reason why we didn't bring a CB in this last window. Fortunately he does look promising so far.

Yeah, it wasn't the toughest game to play in but he did well. Didn't look scared or out of place.
But I need to see him get challenged a bit before I can judge him properly.

Nunez is still our most threatening #9, if Gakpo or Jota start they're not even in the positions/making the runs Nunez is making to gets those chances. End of story.

Plus Nunez got 2 assists anyway showing he has far more to his game than just wanting to score goals.

Best striker in the fucking world., don't you forget it.

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

Wow. That looked like the easiest game we've played for about 24 months. Amazing what a young dynamic midfield can do for you.

Lol, his first assist was meant as an assist was it? 😀

Ain’t that the same as Nunez…?

 

[binomial]

Does it matter if it's deliberate or not?

Of course he wanted to score, got unlucky, then deserved that luck he made with the OG. The goal doesn't come if Nunez doesn't strike the ball or if he misstruck it high and wide for example.

Oh and he played a big part in the first too, pressing well to win us the corner which Szobo scored from.

 

[Judge Jules]

Just watched the highlights again and that strike from Szobo was a thing of beauty - some tekkers to keep it low the way he did.
