Aston Villa (A) - 28 August

claretandbluesky

It feels like a set up and performance Moyes would be happy with against City away, but it's Villa and we have no points on the board yet. We need go for this match more.

Maybe September will be a better month. We could easily end August pointless and goalless.

Benny on for Emerson

MIAHammer

Benrahma on for Emerson

OldCastleSwift

Back four then?

Fab
Coufal Kehrer Zouma Cresswell
Rice Soucek
Bowen Fornals Benrahma
Scamacca

That feels more like us.

BubblesNeverDies

Am I the only one not convinced by Kehrer?

Bazshuayi

I think when settled he'll be good

Lukerz

Would have kept the back 3 but Benrahma & Antonio/Cornet on

thornburyiron

We’ve lost the ability to take corners.

No you’re not. So far hasn’t really shown himself to be much of an upgrade on Diop.

Bazshuayi

We've progressed to average. Nice to see us in their half with someone supporting Scamacca. Hoping we keep stepping it up!

Bazshuayi

Already thinking Bowen should be hooked for Cornet

Perhaps commentators will now stop going on about us being set okay specialists.

alderz

We look a lot better now Benrahma is on. Fornals is having a bit of a stinker

Bazshuayi

Bowen of last season doesnt take extra touch and puts that away

alderz

Bowen looked like he was in, but he couldn’t get the shot away. Probably should have played in Benrahma

alderz

Scamacca looks good on the ball. When we play into his feet he looks very good

Yeoldhammer

4-2-3-1 looks a better system still think we need Cornet on the left Bowen Right and put Benrahma through the middle, he has the technical ability to play there. Fornals is offering little to nothing.

alderz

Both Soucek and Coufal look better this half, since Soucek and Rice switched sides

Bazshuayi

need a goal in this period, we're bang on top. It'll totally boost our confidence

MIAHammer

Antonio on for Scamacca

alderz

I’d love to see Antonio and Cornet on for Bowen and Fornals.

Coutinho down injured, Villa play on and shoot. Fab catches the ball, ref blows the whistle?

alderz

Oh wow he’s taken off Scamacca I’m really surprised

MrsGrey

Knackered

Bazshuayi

totally dont agree with taking off Scam. All first half virtually no support. Now we're progressing he couldve benefited from it. Can we win this please!

MIAHammer

Bowen has been woeful today.

I think it’s the worst I’ve seen him play

Bazshuayi

poor yes and shouldve been subbed. Hopefully he will do something and justify it

MIAHammer

To be fair Fornals has been just as bad as Bowen and they’re both still on the field.
What’s Moyes waiting for?

BubblesNeverDies

So many misplaced passes.
