[Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Mike Small]

Two of theirs unmarked. Very poor defending all round.

Adringra and JP running forward anticipating a flick on from Gruda. He head it backwards. Don't know where our left back is though. Get into position. We are so flimsy.

 

[Bridcutt]

What's the plan in this game? We have absolutely no control or midfield.

 

[Si Gull]

Pedro looks knackered

And pissed off.

 

[Triggaaar]

Every player bombing forward to try to score a goal and Gruda heads it backwards straight to a Villa player.

It's difficult for Fab to legislate for that. Gruda must have thought our player was there, he calmly headed to Villa outside our box.

 

[US Seagull]

I noticed that JP now has a color coordinated bandage.

Glad they had their half time priorities sorted.

 

[maltaseagull]

Get Fab out before this becomes really bad.

I think it already has. Defence is non existent.

 

[RandyWanger]

These players rarely play in an atmosphere so not surprised they’re struggling now.

Dunk said in the last match they can't hear the fans on the pitch.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I cannot see how a 31 year old fella with no playing ability and a second division team can inspired motivate or get any respect from any of the squad, tony dropped the ball here

 

[Mike Small]

Shocking body language from Pedro there, completely gave up.

Lovely turn. He is class at that. Really class. Then plas a shit ball and seems cross with Adringra. He is an absolute primadonna and has been for the last 7 games. How did he pass the 'dickhead' policy?

 

[fruitnveg]

Well I am now on the fence regarding our exciting young new coach, he took over a functioning team and has turned it into sh1t

Disagree. We were far from functional when RDZ left.

 

[American Seagle]

Should have been a foul on Igor in the build up the corners. The Villa player touched his foot.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

You can't blame the manager for poor defending.

You can.

 

[Seagull58]

I'd happily accept a red card for Igor if he would smash Martinez's teeth out and splatter his nose all over his face.

 

[Zeberdi]

If we lose Van Hecke this summer we’re screwed at the back.

 

[ClemFandango]

And pissed off.

His attitude is starting to seriously piss me off

 

[Springal]

I cannot see how a 31 year old fella with no playing ability and a second division team can inspired motivate or get any respect from any of the sqaud, tony dropped the ball here

I mean Roberto lost 6-1 to this lot ..

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

You can't blame the manager for poor defending.

No, but you can blame him for letting Villa run the midfield and choosing a formation that leaves MASSIVE holes for Villa players to run into.

 

[jordanseagull]

Dunk said in the last match they can't hear the fans on the pitch.

Individual fans, no. But that’s not synonymous to atmosphere. They’re lost out there.

 

[JBizzle]

Good to see Bart commanding his box Aron and our back line adopting a geo fence masterclass in marking

f*** sake, so so predicable

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Steele was making the errors Verbruggen is making, he'd have been shot on here

It’s the process don’t you know
