Aston Villa (H) - PL 1 January 2023, 2:00pm.

[The Cryptkeeper]

Given it is my first trip to the new stadium I thought I’d start the match thread.

Happy New Year to you all.

Predicting a 3-0 win against a Villa side who are not very good.

Good attacking lineup today so hopefully we can put in a performance.

Enjoy your day, I was screwed by trains (as usual) to journey up from down south. 4 hour trip with so many changes was quite off putting on a cold and wet day.

 

[ClemFandango]

I think the kids might say Doherty did him up like a kipper with that nutmeg ..

 

[Havocc]

Strange opening 15, it’s all a bit bland

 

[ClemFandango]

Indeed. Nearly 20 minutes in and Kane hasn’t even touched the ball yet.

 

[ClemFandango]

Turgid stuff .. again

 

[Havocc]

Kulu and Bentancor are massively missed

 

[Dorset]

Who knew Ashley Young was a cheating cunt.? Oh, yeah, everybody.
It's all very scruffy and desperate so far, maybe the 2nd half will be better.

 

[ClemFandango]

Well considering we usually go in behind at half time, going in level is .. something.

Pretty dire except for the last 10 minutes or so. Big improvement needed in the second half.

 

[Yid]

Enjoy ya day Crypt...

 

[Yid]

We've lacked a ball player since 2020...

 

[ClemFandango]

FFS

 

[Havocc]

It’s fucking comical

 

[Dorset]

Whoops.

 

[Yid]

Lloris is probably tired bless him...

 

[ClemFandango]

Commentary saying it’s now ten games in a row we’ve conceded the first goal.

 

[Yid]

How exactly has Peresic contributed since his arrival...?

I watch him most weeks for us and he produces nothing of note...?

 

[Dorset]

Gil going off, I hadn't noticed he was on really. Thes Villa blokes are very good at falling over.

 

[Havocc]

How exactly has Peresic contributed since his arrival...?

I watch him most weeks for us and he produces nothing of note...?

Same with Bissouma, I see nothing positive from him week in week out

 

[Dorset]

I disagree 100%. Great work rate, vision, crosses to players who are justvstanding around waiting for the ball to fall onto their feet.

 

[Dorset]

Same with Bissouma, I see nothing positive from him week in week out

Yeah, he IS pony.

 

[Yid]

This is a hard watch...

 

[ClemFandango]

And I’m out ..

 

[Yid]

Right... we know what Conte offers and I don't like it.

 

[Havocc]

Great subs……..

 

[Dorset]

This is a hard watch...

Has been for a long time, 2 wins from 7 and dire, turgid performances would get a lot of PL managers sacked, but as we were shite for Poch, Nuno, the cunt and now Conte I don't think a new manager would make any difference.

Oh, hold on, we are saved Emerson is coming on!

 

[Yid]

What is the fucking point in these substitutions...?

 

[Yid]

I don't think a new manager would make any difference.

A new fucking owner might...

 

[Dorset]

Even more pointless subs, 2 minutes of normal time left, fucking useless.
