Of course we should know that the home ground of Feyenoord was the scene of our greatest triumph.
Will post team news as it comes but according to a poster on VT Feyenoord are playing a youth team
Rosettastoned who is at the ground has posted on Vital Villa
just watched the lads get off the bus, didnt see milner get off though… got som photos but not one fecker waved.
=======================================
TEAM NEWS
Guzan,
Beye, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock,
Downing, Young, Albrighton, Petrov, Reo-Coker,
Agbonlahor.
Subs: Friedel, Bannan, Davies, Lichaj, Clark, Sidwell, Shorey, Carew, Delfouneso, Heskey.
Formation is 4-4-1-1 with young supporting Gabby and the omission of Young and of course Milner will set off all the speculation again
On the OS blog they are censoring posts about Milner, too awkward to answer ?
===========================================
FULL TIME : Game petered out but very useful run out with a coupel of cracking goals.
77 mins – Sidwell scores a 20 yarder from a corner
74 mins – fonz on for Young
72 mins – Heskey scores after a Young free kick was scrambled out and ball crossed, neat finish
62 mins – Villa much better and Albrighton forces a save
59 mins – Carew goal ruled out for offside
57 min – Young cross and Davies should have scored, straight at keeper
56 mins – young forces a good save from a free kick
53 mins – All Feyenoord, deflected shot wide
50 mins – Fey shoot wide
SECOND HALF – Heskey, Carew, Davies, Lichaj, Sidwell and Shorey ON
FINALLY OS mention Milner –
Yes he’s here with the rest of the lads. He is available tomorrow night.
HALF TIME – Not much to report, slow paced in hot temperatures and Feyenoord threatened with pace but Villa quiet overall apart from Albrighton’s stunning strike
44 mins – Feyenoord strike post then hoot wide and then shoot over
42 mins – Quick break causes Villa problems at the back, the counter attack and Downing clean on goals lets ball run away from him
36 mins – Keeper saves Young Free Kick and then NRC gets booked
28 mins, Young nearly connects from a Downing cross (I think !)
25 mins – Beye shoots over
21 mins, nothing really happened but so hot out there, every Villa shirt dripping in sweat
14 mins – poor defence from Beye allows right winger to score
9 mins – We still do feck all from corners
4 Mins – GOAL – fantastic shot by Albrighton, he HAS to start against West Ham
3 mins – young playing basically up front, few hundred there, good Villan attendance
Not long to KO and showing pictures of where the stand collapsed last night, weird
Aston Villa News 24/7
I agree Albrighton deserves his chance…
is that a fan i hear in the backround trying to coath villa players?
John Robertson
best player in the world
feel sorry for the brads having to wear that horrible half-tiger shirt
I sure wish that Delph was healthy.
this game is beginning to be really disappointing
on the villa OS they said milner was availibe 2morrow night
How much do we really trust Beye back there? Everyone wants a RB who can surge forward, but, with Cuellar, that probably wouldn’t have been a goal.
i rather score and get scored on then not score
hope Delfouneso comes on in the second half
he will, but we have 4 forwards on the bench !
Not really seeing what Young contributes playing behind Gabby.
there is not much difference in the feyernoord team from yesterday,there are some changes but not all.
Well can only think he wont risk milner and young over 2 games due to more chance of getting injured. So give them a game tomorrow and its a job done
Game has become pretty bad. Passing and tackling have been utterly terrible, very little teamwork at all.
A bit better from villa there, nice wing play from Albrighton, combining well with Young
u sure Andrew, we look much better in a 4-4-2 !
Bloody hell I’ve seen the lot now, Heskey scores!
Hope he ain’t peaked early……..
Holy crap GOAL
I would start Albrighton instead of Downing, to be perfectly frank. Albrighton has been so great this preseason. What a cross that was.
not a big fan of downing either
I’m sure ian, I think we’ve been pretty bad, maybe average at best.
The Fonz! Young off
SIDWELL
OH MY GOD. 3-1
