LxYoungAVFC Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Was watching a river but switched over to AVTV to see what they're saying. I have a VPN so could theoretically watch but honestly they are taking the piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I see plenty of positives to take from this game so far. We invited a lot of pressure, and our players are being asked to play through it. Gives us a lot of practice and sharpen us for the season. There's been plenty of great patterns of play, that doesn't come off just yet, but it looks very positive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in course to have lost 4 out of 5 games following on from a poor end to the season. When are people actually allowed to voice concerns without being told they’re melting down or bed wetting. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were wildly inconsistent last season and conceded a ton of goals We are far off a team like Dortmund. Long way to go still before we reach this level The table never lies.

Leeroy Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I just hope this game acts as a wake up call to go and sign quality like Geertruida and Felix. Lose this and we’ve lost more games than we’ve won in preseason despite only playing 2 decent teams (Leipzig and Dortmund). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david-avfc Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 We usually struggle against sides who press high and do it well, it’s clearly a weak point for us. Our slow build up style works against most teams but when we’re faced with a side which fully commits the whole team the press and counter press our slowness can be exploited. Thankfully I don’t think there are many sides who properly do it, Newcastle and Liverpool probably the main ones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 All the problems that were there second half of last season are still there. Think we'll finish about 8th this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long way to go still before we reach this level It may be tough to take for some, but Dortmund are still currrently on a higher level than Villa in most ways. Prem money included.

MaVilla Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 we dont press well. I know emery's tactics generally dont press much, but when we do try to, it looks very disjointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
