Aston Villa, build up and match thread

[bigfooty]

Half-time.

Gerrard and Xabi have been good, quality from wide positions not been anywhere close to their level though.

HT 1-0 Frenetic. Thought SG and Carra and Torres were good

[justcruisin]

Before or after he set up our first goal of the season?

are you watching to same match...that pass or whatever that was from kuyt was miles away from a teammate

[Biff]

Overall, more positives than negatives....some of the movement and inter linking between Kuyt, Torres and Gerrard has been excellent....

Hopefully bodes well for the season

[MyEye]

Boys you are understandably holding out for Kuyt, i hope too but he is ****e - end off. He should be moulded into an attacking midfielder and Crouch should be up front.

He could easily have left it to go out of play. He pulled it back - simple as that. Would you have preferred a corner?

[stevie_gerrard_8]

I wonder where all the Kuyt bashers are? He has been outstanding this half.

Torres looks very good but hasn't had much of the ball.

[Skillz]

Kuyt is impressing me.He is holding the ball well and with an out an out striker in front of him he looks very good

Was going to post the same. Not happy having to agree with you Pat.

[Red_Al_77]

Kuyt has been fine IMO and his pass was the cause of them scoring so he has done the job.

Are you guys for real?

Jumping down players throat's after 45 mins of the season?

[ningnangnong]

And just as i post that, there have been three positive posts above me.

He is still getting slated from a few dicks here

[Red_Al_77]

Petit does talk sense.
