TheStagMan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 From what I can see of the game, we are looking pretty good - worlds apart from the half-assed performance against Boro. Well done so far Steve. Keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just mops up so much and wins so much in the air. Yes, he really mops it up well. It's the only position he should play and although Onomah is more exciting going forward he's not as clean defensively. Jedi doing great again today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Wow. That was, dare I say, some really entertaining football. The midfield, Grealish included in that, looks excellent. Edited January 1, 2018 by Michelsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The 4-1-4-1 seems to be working quite well, Jedinak mopping it up and Grealish and Hourihane in more advanced positions. Chester again being immense, the back heel to Adomah in the bulid up to the first goal was class! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm not surprised we're playing better when we have actual footballers on the pitch. Delighted for Hogan. Hope Jack gets a goal as well. I'm unsure, how much credit should be given to Bruce? I suppose he could've played Davis instead of Hogan. So credit where it's due. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner's Driver Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Talk about inconsistent, we are supposed to be shit. Near the end that was borderline good. Good energy, Grealish and Adomah looking tricky and Hogan remembered he's a striker. Bristol must've been on the lash last night because they look like yet another poor team undeserving of their lofty position. In the ever powerful words of the G-man, "no excuses now..."

Well done so far Steve. Keep this up. No sign of going ahead then sitting back and countering. That's definitely a change in style from what we have seen from Villa in games they've taken leads in this season. Maybe Bruce has woken up to that or Agnew has had a big say in how we are approaching this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakagom Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Good football so far, but let's not get ahead of ourselves, Bristol had day less rest and add to top of that the result they got from that match, I think most teams would struggle to get back from that. But glad we are playing a little bit better, now lets score some more and install a little confidence Edited January 1, 2018 by Alakagom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I predict a storm in the first 15 mins after the break. Keep that tight, let them run out of steam again and go for them. Great performance so far. I think it's Elphick showing for the ball in deep areas. He seems very comfortable with the ball at his feet under a bit of pressure, keep it up. Well done Hogan for the goal. Our midfield look unusually fresh. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hopefully, hopefully this is a new start for Hogan. His goal was excellent. As was his "assist" to Snoddy. The only way he could beat those monster CB's in the air was to jump backwards. And he did it so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2018 Come on Villa, a good second half, please. I'm going down the pub later, and I want to do it in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
