    And working...better than our media stream

    Excellent picture on Utube

    We might not see too much of Anderson in the first half because the camera can’t pan all the way down to show the touchline ;lol

    Shocking defending, but a nice goal from Antonio
  • DJ HammerDJ Hammer
    Antonio scores, we can’t sell him now!!
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    And thats why you dont sell Antonio

    Lacks finesse, but a 70 yard run, getting a little lucky but bulldozing his way through 3 different challenges to score a fantastic goal
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Nice work by Anderson eventually ends up with a tame shot by Antonio.

    Like watching Wilshere play, not doing anything too spectacular but keeping it simple he seems to just glide around the pitch

    Antonio is the most under appreciated player to ever play for us.

    Free kick in a dangerous position as Arnie is brought down

    Arnie takes it himself despite the presence of Anderson, but straight into the wall.

    Nice to see Anderson doing his defensive work ,has won the ball back a couple times now

    Arnie, 2-0. Nice work down our left, Anderson to Masuaku, good pull back by Masuaku and Arnie slotted nicely.

    Very good goal

    Great ball from Anderson to Masauku who has pace to burn and a good ball for Arnie to finish

    Our passing seems to have improved.

    The goal somewhat reminded me of Maradonna in 86. Only Antonio was a tank where Maradonna was a ballet dancer.

    Rice is doing exactly what we want from a DM...his positioning is brilliant for someone so young

    This was fun, a little glimpse of the ammunition we have this season...
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Like the look of Balbuena so far
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Adrian passing out from the back also seems to be on point...
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Balbuena and Rice looking very good. Anderson has had his moments too but needs to get more involved.

    Very encouraging performance that.

    Agree re Balbeuna, Villa haven't offered much but he looks very solid

    Very happy with that half

    The balance of the team looks very good

    Antonio is always going to be unorthodox but he's effective at what he does

    Anderson has shown some glimpses of quality...some very nice through balls, plus has done some tracking back too

    Our left hand side still looks vulnerable, too easy to get between Masuaku and Ogbonna

    Midfield trio doing well, even if we do lack a little bit of athleticism
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Overall a nice performance so far, however, and I know it's only pre-season, but given they start a week before us, Villa have looked shockingly poor, so it's kinda hard to get much perspective on our performance (unless we really are that good ;lol )

    The silence is creepy!!
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Apparently WH are steaming it too.

    But I think I'll stick with this one...
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Missed the announcement but it looks like

    Adrian
    Zab Diop Oggy Masuaku
    Noble Obiang Wilshere
    Snodgrass Arnie Sead
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Oops Snodgrass is in the right...

    He won't be happy...
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    4 half time changes I think, Rice, Rocky, Antonio and Anderson off, Obiang, Haksabanovic, Diop and Snodgrass on
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer

    If Obiang is close to moving, how come he is playing now?
