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

[The Fits]

He's a great finisher isn't he? All round game not ideal but a useful squad member, maybe.

 

[Stato]

Intriguing clash of styles: Our slow build with direct passing further up the pitch once gaps are created versus their cynical cheating. They are a horrible football team.

 

[Algernon]

Undav is good

Deniz der meniz

 

[Shooting Star]

Deniz is having a blinder.

 

[Sheebo]

Half on the beach, half on the bench. Competing well though…

 

[jcdenton08]

Come on the Albiooon

 

[Bodian]

Just one thing about the Undav love-in. Their first goal - he let Luiz go I think, he was the one to mark him.

 

[KZNSeagull]

We are going to win 4-3

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Should we let them win so Spurs miss Europe then??

 

[drew]

We need to invest in some more capable ball playing defenders too. Without Dunk we are fu*k. Would love to keep Colwill.

JP and Webster are not of the calibre for week in, week out Premier League footy.

Harsh on JPVH and AW as neither have played many games this season.

 

[oldboyroy]

Come on lads, we can do this 2nd half. Just stop villa winning that's all I ask

 

[Miximate]

Reckon we will come good in 2nd half as they have gone very strong from the start and we can bring on additional strength

 

[dangull]

As usual. no dull games under RBZ this season. I am enjoying it, and not to bothered about the result.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

He is important to the way we play. We need someone with those qualities but a superior shot stopper too.

They aren't cheap though, essentially we would be looking for an Alisson or an Ederson.

You aren’t asking for much then..

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Who is this absolute knob of a pundit on sky? He doesn’t know the first thing about football or how we play. He only looked at the player standing next to undav for the goal and thought it was offside and his expert opinion is frequently that we should “put laces through it”.

Yes, an utter dickhead! Clearly played onside by the Villa player across the other side of the pitch.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Those two Villa goals would have been snuffed out in midfield by Caicedo before they hit the back of the net.

Get him on.

We have to stop Villa!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Coote not letting anything go, very over zealous....or
Coote has wised up to the villa tactics, Alli Mac and Gross letting him know exactly whats going on!

 

[Krafty]

Already exploited Villa's high line a few times now, should be a matter of when if they continue with that tactic, we have created many goal-scoring opportunities by cutting through them.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

We need to invest in some more capable ball playing defenders too. Without Dunk we are fu*k. Would love to keep Colwill.

JP and Webster are not of the calibre for week in, week out Premier League footy.

JP was outstanding against Haaland and indeed in general play against City, the best team in the Prem, if not Europe, if not the world. That's a fair yardstick. I'll leave others to defend Webster.

 

[El Turi]

We’ve looked vulnerable on our right side but dangerous going forward so if we bring on Caicedo and Mitoma early on I can see us at least getting a draw.
