Villa Park
Live Radio coverage on Talksport 2 (not great but something).
Willian injured in the war up. Solomon in.
Good Ebbenning.
Typical,biased commentary
We can't defend for the next 80 minutes. We need to get into this game
Never a penalty
It sounds like we're under the cosh from watching the website
Now Wilson is injured

All I've got too, crap coverage.
Trevor Sinclair convinced it's a penalty, definitely a penalty, oh no it's not a penalty - why do they use these clowns?
Wilson going off injured as well, not the best start
And now Wilson injured, not going to be our evening!
The commentator thinks it's fatigue. Well Wilson has played a lot of games

LOL ::ahah::
Great challenge by tosin, normal anti-Fulham commentary. Willian and Wilson injured is terrible news
God.
Mings for gods sake
OH well not unexpected
Get ready for a long and painful evening chaps
Amazing, been battered all game and Haven't been out of our half
Has Fulham touched the ball...? :023:
Think I might have to switch the radio commentary off & follow it on Ceefax.
This is really ominous. Both wingers off and been absolutely dominated. Fingers crossed we react.
Not sure why we're pulling every man back for corners, we have no out ball.
Relax everyone. Plenty of time
Getting absolutely battered. We need another body in CM

Probably worried about conceding to a corner but I agree that a cluttered box invites trouble
Gonna be a long night, 4-0 battering on the cards
Quote from: KentFulham on April 25, 2023, 08:17:49 PMGonna be a long night, 4-0 battering on the cards
Stay positive, 3-1 or 3-0 maybe
Do we have a plan A?
Quote from: hkfulham on April 25, 2023, 08:22:06 PMDo we have a plan A?
That's Mitro. It's plan B which is the issue.
Will be thrilled if we go into half time only 1 down. Maybe Marco can yell some fight into them. Our midfield looks empty

Because I imagine our average height across the team today is 5ft 6in
Solomon's been pretty poor, that "pass" to James was terrible. Really missing Willian.
Solomon showing why he hasn't been getting picked

no impossible.we can only win 4-1!

Palhinha and Reed have been pretty poor too

We always do this. Just by leaving Dan James on halfwayline would mean 2 of their defenders would stay back.

He's definitely off his game tonight. He seems to be turning into trouble on the ball and that was indeed a poor pass.
The CM is the problem, just getting played through too easily. Villa are a good side, but we're making it too easy for them
At least one of Cairney/Lukic needs to come on at half time, if not both. We need to keep possesion better.
I think this well and truly puts European dreams to bed.
Feels like they have two or three more players on the pitch. Anyone done a head count?
Ream and Tosin have been very shaky in possesion so far.
This is dire
Comms on BT Sport saying we have no alternative to Mitro with the same physical presence up top to provide a focal point is a damning indictment of Vinicius (he's 6'3)
FFS BDR slipped for all to see, how can that be a careless challenge.
Considering how poor we have been its a bonus to go in only one down.
What an exciting 1st half! :023:
That was a pathetic first half performance
Good news is we can play much better than that.
missing Willian but need some cool heads in attack out there. We gave Villa way too much respect and didn't focus on our own attacking play imo.
Still very much in this game, perhaps Cairney on 60mins as Periera has done very little, or for reed if we want to go a little more attacking. We need someone to piece together this attack and bring the likes of Solomon into the game
Rocket up the ass is needed!!!

slipped....and still won the ball I might add
Imagine paying £3K for your season ticket to watch that sort of performance...
Poor first half, decent enough result so far all things considered. I'd swap Reed and one of Palhinha/Pereira for Cairney and Lukic. We have no control of the match because our midfield is doing very poorly so far. Cairney and Lukic are very strong on the ball and they'd be of great help. Maybe even Kebano for Solomon, who really struggled too. We can still get a result here, but we must turn up in the second half.

I didn't think that was even a foul. Certainly not card worthy.

I suspect there will be only one change at half time with either TC or Lukic on for Reed.
The stats say we had one shot. Not on target. We were second best everywhere. Well third best really. Even had more injuries. Hopefully not a heavy defeat in the second half. A lucky break away goal to equalise will help.

Me too, I'd prefer both though.
We are just not in the game but obviously Silva has defense as his game plan. That being so should we not have two defenders on the goal line when defending corners, that would have prevented their goal.
Cairney has to come on after the hour.
We can't play that badly in the second half and we are only 1 down. We are still in this
surely no more than 10 more mins of this before silva freshens things up?
Started the 2nd half better.
Tete's dad was a Champion Heavyweight Kick Boxer apparently, and Tete is decent at it as well 😳
The final whistle can't come soon enough.
That Luiz is a bit of a p****
Don't worry. Vini is on the bench and will bring glory. ::ahah::
short spell of decent possession/pressure so silva wont change anything for 15 mins. and who knows a goal might appear soon,.
Villas press is impressive
Quote from: Southcoastffc on April 25, 2023, 09:04:14 PMDon't worry. Vini is on the bench and will bring glory. ::ahah::
At least he would be a target man to get the ball into. Their central defenders aren't being pushed at all.
The odds on 888 they just mentioned on Talksport 2 sound bonkers?

He's getting ready to come on
If Vinny is coming on, I am off to bed!
Vinis coming on
And Carney and Cedric
Pereira, Solomon and Tete off
Quote from: davew on April 25, 2023, 09:09:55 PMIf Vinny is coming on, I am off to bed!
Night night
Any player who is on the wing and looking across the pitch and is offside should be fined two weeks wages.
This is a dreadful game of football.
Also Cedric on? Why? What does he offer
What's the point of subbing on Cedric? Surely Kebano or Lukic would have made more sense?
Can't believe how poor Soloman has been tonight, for someone with so much promise has shown without doubt why Willian has been and is the main man
Hopefully plan C is Cedric has spent the whole of the last two weeks practicing crossing to Vinicius

I know it sounds strange - but apart from his goals Solomon doesn't often do much
Awful game of football.
We seemed to have brought Villa down to our level in this half.
Only got the radio but Tosin seems to be involved in everything?

He sure hasn't shown much lately
This is much better
Villa don't deserve to.win this, they have been very bad the 2hd half...come on Fulham ! deserve a point at least now...but still have not had a shot on goal...
on top now. got to create something though
i think bdr is the key to success tonight
What a yellow...?

Considering how poor we were first half, you have to say Villa are nothing special.
Citeh must be quaking in their boots at the thought of playing us on Sunday.
Great goal scored by Burnley!!
Ahhh!
Quote from: cookieg on April 25, 2023, 09:24:41 PMCiteh must be quaking in their boots at the thought of playing us on Sunday.
What "Plan" will we use?
One off target attempt all night. Absolutely dreadful performance.
of course...
you just knew the flag was gonna go up
Vinnie moaning at James as he wants the ball played in behind when he has zero pace is hilarious
Have we had a shot?
This is worse than Parkerball
that was the half chance
What a crap game
neither side was any good to be honest.
1 corner decided the game
A SHOT!!! Alert the media.
Vinicius rubbish
James back to his former self
Wingers redundant
No one had a good game really
maybe Tosin was alright, Ream did ok
Very poor all round

Then Liverpool after midweek - why did I opt to go to this one ::thumb::
Its been such a boring game. Probably the most boring game of Prem football I've watched in a while
Villa are very good at time wasting.
Talksport 2 are very happy.
That number 30 we have is dog$!-!Ite
james trying his trademark backheel. but in the wrong area.....

seemed more like championship quality.
what happened to the puke emoji?
I can take a drab game but that was an uninspiring performance lacking any spark.
Dull and mediocre and yet we could have got a point.
But you can't always turn on a performance so lets move on.
