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

[Wardy's twin]

Must say Im enjoying reading the BBC comments section. unanimous from all clubs fans, that Villa were a bunch of diving cheats, praising us and also panning Grealish for getting Lamptey sent off.

Quite liked this, very true description of Trezeguets dive.

"The only way you'd naturally dive like that is if you were kicked hard in the nuts between the legs from behind when you weren't expecting it."

did they get someone in to do a demo?

aah, i see. i think you should wait to be able to make an accurate appraisal, not kick off like a whiny little bitch, just an opinion

My opinion is that I'm talking to someone on a forum that thinks it's alright to call someone a whiny bitch. Actually that's a fact.

 

[rogersix]

I know it's probably been discussed but how many games will Lamps be out for?

one

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Webster's passing was poor again. He's not the finished product but he has too many games where he gives it away incessantly.

Agree passing was an issue but good to see him
Being proactive and bring the ball forward.

I am wonder what a defensive 3 of white Veltman and dunk looks like

Villa scored seven against Liverpool and three at Arsenal and have the world's greatest player since Maradona.
Why did we even bother turning up?

when it comes to frivilous stuff like football, i just find negative nellies extremely tedious, it should be a fun distraction. i note [MENTION=1517]junior[/MENTION]'s sloped off tho', and you've hung about, so fair play to you sir

 

[Wellesley]

Oh, if he ever played for us, I would convert overnight. Sister's shorts, alice band, the lot.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm optimistic all the indicators are against us but these are the sort of games we pull of a surprise 2-1 to the good guys, but I am only hoping not expecting.

Good call.

Finally when we get chances we tuck them away. Welbeck today reminded me of Murray, a quality finisher, willing runner, decent hold up option, and an understanding developing with Lamptey. If he and Lallana stay fit we'll be fine.

Also one of our best defenders. A very Murrayesque performance.

someone who can head the ball out of defence....

Now I'm a 'Sir'? From a 'Whiny Little Bitch' to a 'Sir'.

People can post negative comments if they want. I think Potter did a good job last year, the football is great to watch. I've been frustrated at how soft/not streetwise we often are and wish we didn't play so many centre backs. Ironically, you're the one being negative at others. Cheer up we won!

I'm surprised that pen got overturned, it looked clear cut to me.

You hate it when we win, don’t you!?

 

[Mackenzie]

Is that his new chant? (When we get back, obvs)

It should be. Their are comparisons with Johnny Crumplin, I think.

Lamptey gets a one match ban for two yellows - but do they get wiped off the totting up process that can lead to a suspension later in the season?

 

[Snowflake]

Wellbeck MoM for me today. Showed his experience and class. Followed closely by Lamptey(needs to hone that final pass) and White. Dunk was also important for his presence. Cheating diving T@#t’s got what they deserved.

Sollly also up there actually did what he we all know is in him today. Hooray !

The second goal pure potter ball and also the reason Gross is on the pitch.

Cut those small errors out and it’s 4-1 to the good guys.

And yes I’ve had a had a jar or two!

At some point GPott will probably realise that Dunk, White & Veltman are our best back three if we want to (over) play out from the back. I’m not having a go at Webster or Burn, they’re good defenders and footballers but the other three are just better.

Webster has the short straw of all the defenders as he’s being played on the left. This makes distribution a lot harder. If you put any of the others there, they would also make mistakes with the ball. This is one of the reasons why left sided centre backs are in such demand these days.

Defending wise he was better than Dunk today though as he has been all season. Personally I would rather see a back three of Veltman, White and Webster and eventually I think that will be our first choice defence.

Webster is also a very brave defender when it comes to using the ball and his determination to drive forward is crucial to us.

Some of the comments on the Villa forum are f*cking hilarious.

- Someone calling us a lower league club... How many years in a row have we finished above the mighty Villa?

- A whole lot of people exaggerating the penalty incident. Apparently you could see the impact on their players shinpad when March 'fouled' him.

- A lot of people not even willing to admit March won the ball. He accidently touched it (or it was kicked in to him) rather than him making a tackle.

- "Really good players are not allowed to play football and instead they are brought down over and over until there bodys are screwed from constant takedown" Agreed, players really need to stop kicking Lamptey a foot in the air because he's too good for them.

- "Maupay pissing off Luiz to high end and referee let's him get away with it" - Agreed again. That elbow to the throat was... oh wait that was a Villa player so it doesn't matter.

"It's amazing how many journos and pundits are arguing it wasn't a pen. They know nothing. It's embarassing." Yes, all the pundits know nothing, but The_Steve on VillaTalk is right. Absolute muppet.

Absolutely what you'd expect from fans of a club who wallow in victories from before half of them were born. The Sheffield Wednesday of the midlands.

... no we are not a really good side. We are actually a pretty awful side, that can’t win matches. It’s not about luck. 4 wins in 2020 is pathetic. I suspect Potter is only in a job because it will cost too much to get rid. Still his time is limited. Maybe gone by the New Year, probably by Easter & surely by this time next year when we are languishing in the championship.

The form, table, results, performances, are not down to luck alone. That is just one small component. The manager just does not inspire confidence. He is neither a winner. Nothing personal. But languishing in the bottom 5 week in week out, month in month out going nowhere is only going to end in relegation sooner rather than later. We lose 4-0 today

How have you not been banned by now? Your posting history is very interesting. I encourage everyone to take a look, especially our marvellous moderators. Cheers.

Oh this post just made today happen - fair play. Wondering what to describe Liverpool, so shipped 7 there as. If we’re awful what are they...?

Uwe posted a video of him watching the final whistle. Looks like it got him excited enough to make a good shadow puppet!

Conked out about 15 minutes before the end - probably just as well for my nerves!
