[PL] Aston Villa (A): Match Thread

[Red Wino]

A short corner that actually results in a chance. Nearly 0-3 there

[shanks69]

I thought Milner should have gone for goal himself there instead of the cross.

[Rigadon]

Coutinho and Sturridge make such difference to our team. They make other (average) players look good.

The cross was so hard I recob it was a ****in shot

[redmike65]

Was it the reason behind our two goals though?

No, as the Villa players had the sun behind them

[Fosterbloke]

Great pass from Henderson, Sturridge can't get there. Sturridge improves our player's creativity by taking up excellent positions and making good runs.

fair enough, they just might be as bad as we are in defending crosses!.

[Chris]

Lovely performance so far with more gears to go through if needed. The usual suspects playing well, Moreno has had a good half too.

HT 0-2 Sturridge, Milner (Sakho hair?)

I wonder what Benteke thinks watching Sturridge, does he think well that's what I need to do in this side or does he just think that he could never be that sharp in thought/action?

[G]

Playing well within ourselves at the moment and cruising but you always worry our arses will go if they get a goal.

Need to get a few more.

[TheElephantMan]

What a difference it makes having Coutinho and Sturridge in the side. Need another goal to kill this game off.

I actually think a Sturridge Benteke partnership would work very well.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

2-0

I don't think we've been that great but it could easily be 3-0, this is one of the worst home performances I think I can remember seeing from a side. Considering they're in the thick of it and in relatively decent form, they've probably put a total of 5 minutes worth of effort.

Sturridge is great, he always comes back scoring! We need to keep him fit, if we can grab a 3rd and give Benteke the final 30 minutes it'd be a perfect situation.

Firmino and Coutinho having some moments but I still think we're a little sloppy all over the park in possession, improve that and we'd be a much better side.

Moreno in theory should be much more effective with clever players who offer movement and creative passing a head of him. He nearly got in once, hopefully that's something to build on.

Comfortable, but like we all know one set piece and this could turn on its head.
