I think kudus is having a good game too, moving the ball on quick rather than slowing things down

Any good streams for tonight? I appreciate the link @stubbo, but those Sport HD ones take a million 'unmute' clicks before you can actually watch the game.
If you just click on the stream numbers below the video panel and work through them once the game starts you should find one working without having to click on the video display at all.
The links with a #1 etc after the name.
That's not how it works on my machine, I have to click that unmute button for like 15 minutes before it gives me volume and full screen. Fucking pain in the harris.
The link Alfs gave me works well, might be worth including that one in future.

Overall, its very encouraging and hopefully this is a sign of things to come under Potter
Looking at the stats on ESPN, possession was only 33% but they didn't record a shot on goal or any attempts! We registered 5 attempts plus 2 on target.
Half the job done, need more of the same second half, COYI

Considering the oppo and that it’s away, that’s a very good half of football. The players look like they are all enjoying it and know what they are doing. What a turnaround in one day.
Very disciplined in defence and dangerous in attack. We have not let them play or get into any rhythm. The opposite of a Moyes setup. We are the proactive team.

Excellent first half from a bit of a makeshift side. Much more energy and effort. Summerville, Paq, Scarles all top-class.
The big downer was Fullcrock going full crock yet again. We’ve signed another Carroll, haven’t we? He seems to be made of glass.
No Crock, no Bowen, no Antonio.
We’re going to need a striker in this window.
Villa won’t be as bad in the second half. Hope we can keep this up.

Have Villa not had any type of shot or did I hear that wrong?

Perfect away performance so far. Best way to deal with a slow centre midfield and centre backs is not to leave any space behind and they have done that well so far. Scarles and Jimmy pick of the bunch so far and Alvarez having his best game for a while. Mo just got to be a bit careful, running around well but could just see him grabbing a shirt!
Re Villas kit. Weren't we banned from wearing the Thames Ironworks one in top level games?

Who would have thought that?
44fucking2 and Kudus up front.
Shame we lost Fullkrug, because we fell a bit low with Inga up front.
Now keep it tight and counterattack with Kudus.
Oh, Summerville and Scarles my mom so far

Great half that. Funny how we look like a decent team all of a sudden with a proper manager.
Scarles looks a player. Obviously 'loser Lop' ignored him and preferred to play Wan-Bissaka out of position. What a total fraud that unemployed chump is.
Fullkrug getting injured again just sums up what a joke of a signing he was.

This is like night and day compared to how we have played the last 12 months. Players know what they are supposed to be doing. We are actually playing with purpose. It’s amazing what you can achieve in one day.

Gutted for Fullkrug - he was starting to link play well and looked up for it tonight. Looked like a bad one - hopefully looks worse than it is.
Nunez would be good. The kind of villain player that all other teams hate.

I think that's the first 1st first-half that we haven't conceded a really good chance on goal for a long time.
Keep it up boys.

Love to see us go get Nunez out of Liverpool. Would be perfect up top for us.

not slagging paqueta (he's had a good game) but being one of the advanced two in that central four, he has to support scarles more when we're pushing forward
great half though

Lost our way since Fullkrug went off. We can’t keep the ball or get out.
They won’t be as bad second half.

Loved Paqueta taking a chance there and almost getting the ball. Busted a gut to get back afterward too. There’s just more effort everywhere.
