Agreed about Lansbury playing more deep lying, I think we need to try Hourihane more advanced. His assist tally last season... we can't ignore that.
Not playing Hourihane is a crime......period.
Completely agree with Tidge, like to see Hourihane in the 10 role and play Lansbury next to Whelan. Saying that I honestly didn't think Bacuna played that bad and the jeering was a real disappointment. Gabby played well on the wing but I don't recall him playing that position during pre-season which suggests Bruce is still struggling to pick his best 11.
Spot on about not jeering our own players
I understand at times we will need to play deep and hold on for a win, but I think we need to stay with an attacking mindset until we get 2 goals, or at least wait until the final 10 minutes minutes of the match.
A well balanced post match review as always, nice one.
I think the ironic cheer was more towards Steve Bruce for taking so long to sub off someone playing not so well and to give Josh or Connor a run out to have an impact on the game. Just my personal opinion on that (wasn't one involved in the cheer) but you hit everything else absolutely on the nail. Great Vid Dan.
Don't dislike Bacuna but when talking about players getting continuous chances without proving their worth, he's top of the list!
Thought the cheering when Bacuna got subbed wasn't totally ironic. Think it was cheering for Green coming on as well
Great video again guys!! Agreed with point on Bacuna getting cheered off... Will only be detrimental to the team... + the constant moaning when someone misplaces a pass. We need to be behind the team if we want to succeed. UTV
Positives: Hutton and defence was mostly solid, good first half, gabbys goal Negatives: Bacuna getting picked over hourihane, poor second half start, questionable subs
Totally agree but so far Hourihane and Lansbury simply haven't worked together so he needs to find a way to make them gel
Felt so bad for Green, expected the keeper to get a touch. HE WILL EVENTUALLY SCORE!!!
Dan your too old to be wearing a backward cap! Great points though.
Scoville Fire Hot Sauce Reviewer I'm too lazy to do my hair as well!
Ha ha I get ya
Scoville Fire Hot Sauce Reviewer well I wear backwards cap also and I'm older than dan 😂

Dan Bardell: I didn't think it mattered these days. Unshaven and unkempt is a fashion now, isn't it? (it was called laziness in my day.) UTV VTID
Great point on the fans!! Let's get behind the boys and they can feed off our energy
I was pleasantly surprised and almost shocked how good Neil Taylor's delivery was. Greeny nearly scored off of one free-kick and there were multiple services that caused issues for Hull.
First half was almost perfect, another goal or two and it would have been. Second half you are exactly right, everyone could see it coming. Can't for the life of me understand how Bacuna played ahead of Green and why on earth Hogan was taken off. I've seen people on twitter saying Hogan was crap.......well they are obviously not watching! Hogan's running and movement was superb, we just don't play to his strengths! It's only the first game we all know that but the worrying sign that we still can't play two halves is of concern. This is where the likes of Terry and Whelan need to assert their experience and encourage the younger ones to keep going. Unless of course the manager tells them otherwise!!!! I was encouraged by the first half so let's see where it goes from here. Great video Dan but lose the backward baseball cap! UTV
Another great video fellers. Well done. Full credit for trying to put a positive spin on things too, Dan, but... "On another day we might have had 3 or 4..." How many times did you or Matt say that last season ? Quite a few, I'd be prepared to bet. First game of last season we lost 1-0 in Sheffield after turning in a decent performance. Why? Because we couldn't score. Derby away last season: we totally dominated the game but we couldn't score. "On another day, we might have had 5 or 6." We even did our best to throw it away completely. Luckily, in the end, it finished 0-0. I could go on and on. Our best performance of the season (IMHO) was Brighton away. Again, we couldn't score and again, "on another day...". We even managed to do what was becoming our favourite trick of snatching a draw from the jaws of victory (after our sequence of throwing games away in the 90th and 91st minutes that is.) Oh, and our only goal at Brighton came from none other than our recently discarded friend, Nathan Baker. We bossed that game from start to finish - yet they got promoted and we didn't. If you took away the date above and any reference to Hull City then I'd have bet my house on this video being one of any number of last season's output. That's how little has changed in how we are playing and how the fans are moaning. Even the press have remarked on "the level of dissatisfaction among the home supporters." Bruce moaned last season that he hadn't had a pre-season with the team. Well he has now, and it's no different. The team are still clueless. We look extremely vulnerable at the back - in the air - from corners and free kicks, unlike most of last season (oh, that's something that's changed then.) And why in God's name was Hourihane left picking his nose on the bench while a stand in right back (and not a very good one at that) filled his position? Why was the only decent fit striker we've got at the Club subbed while a knackered Agbonlohor stayed on to do nothing? The ultimate insult was to bring on a 12 foot tall centre half who hasn't played competitively for about 2 years and use him as a striker when Gabby finally keeled over completely. No wonder Hogan's pissed off! He's class and he's made to sit there and witness that level of bullshit! Steve Bruce had every Villa fan in the country and beyond behind him all last week. High hopes, belief that finally we'd turned the corner and a real belief that it would all be different now. And for 45 minutes on Saturday it was half convincing. Then the wheels fell off because Hull decided to turn up for the second half. Bruce shat himself. He didn't know what to do. How dare they come here and play football... Steve Bruce is like my budgie. All chatter and shit!!! The Villa job is too big for him and he proved it spectacularly live on TV on Saturday evening. Yes, I'll support the Villa to my dying day and I'll stand/sit on the Holte End and shout as loud as any of the rest of you. But I won't give Bruce any vote of confidence any time soon. He's lost the plot and he'll very quickly lose the fans and his job if he serves up another day like that one. UTV VTID
In all fairness, bacuna has been poor for us since he's been here. Other than his goal against spurs, I can't recall a game where he's stood out? And his comments about 'he should be playing champions league' was the cherry on top for me. So maybe it wasn't right the ironic cheers, but I can understand why. Anyway, fingers crossed for this season and utv
Enjoyed watching your video Dan Not sure about the hat though !
Been taking my time thinking of my views and sleeping on them. The first half in my opinion was quite possibly the best i've seen us play under bruce, right up until the 40th minute, at which point, the squad went into turtle mode and hide in its shell, until the 80th minute when we'd conceded and realised what we had done. Same story different day. Looked lively in the final third in the first 40 minutes, but need to bury chances. Hogan to me is different gravy, so technically smart, making runs that in my opinion the only person that has the vision to find them was on the subs bench in Conor Hourihane. Need to become more positive, we have class acts in the final third so when we're 1-0 up why on earth don't we go for the jugular? Bury teams 3-0, 4-0? We have the ability to do so. Rely on the defence to hold solid when countered on, because it's strong enough to do so. Need to get of the players backs, doesn't help in anyway shape or form. We are the 12th man, they always hear us, so boost them with positivity. Need to find our DNA and system asap, kill teams off by attacking them, and hold together as a team, UTV.
Agreed with most of what you said, particularly about the Villa fans getting on Bacuna's back. So much he'll probably want to leave now when he's a decent player!
Thought hutton had a great game, keep the faith git some tough games coming and need to stay united
Hogan was quality, Lansbury was good, Hourihane needs to sit just behind Hogan, Green was unlucky, Elmohamady looked decent, Onomah looked good, most of the team looked fit. Good signs all round we just need to keep the second half like the first.
I personally think we played good yesterday had a quiet 15 mins but other than that you just have to remember that we had 3 players who are new and hull will get high in the table. Would like to go for grosicki aswell as he is very direct and not afraid to run at people
Not sure what Hourihane has to do to get a game, he should be the one right behind the striker, we know what he can do and I believe that the only way we can score more goals, which is alot of the fans main issue, is with him in the squad.
What disturbs me is the total lack of strategic thinking at the club. Top managers know how they want to play and then recruit to that. Serious questions need asking of Round and Bruce for recruiting the likes of Hogan and Hourihane etc and then nullifying them by not playing to their strengths. It looks like these players became available and we acted without considering the team set up which is foolish at best. Now Bruce is needing Kodjia back, a player he inherited to make his own system work.
I'm sort of happy with the result because the way that we played in the second half was shocking and I thought that we were going to lose
great point about supporting any player that wears our famous shirt. Villa park needs to be intimidating for the opposition not for our own team.
Great summary Dan. I agree with your comment about the fans and 99% are bloody outstanding - best away fans bar none. I can however understand the animosity toward Bacuna in some regards. He showed total disrespect for the club under lambert and on footballing terms offers very little in my opinion. That said, booing is rubbish and not the Villa way.
hey We really had a good first half I think Bruce needs to start Chris Samba because from what I've seen of him he looks like a special player :)
I felt like that we accommodated to Gabby's needs rather than Hogan's yesterday. Even though they both had chances they could've put away, more passes were going to Gabby than Hogan despite the runs he was making. Oh well, still 45 games left
I thought terry was class he wins every ball that comes near him great signing for the season !
Like everyone disappointed with the result created enough chances to win easily, agree that Bacuna didn't have a good game and would have liked to have seen Onomah or hourrihane brought in to replace and slot Lansbury back to his familiar position. Not much Bruce can do when we create so much but can't stick it away. Impressed with Hogan seems really intelligent and makes very good runs in behind also works hard. Love that Elmo gets crosses in early and from every angle. If we can put in a full performance like we did in first half I've no concerns we'll be right up there, first game is always a tricky especially against a decent Hull side, looking at the other results Boro, Sheff Wed and Reading all losing puts it in a bit of perspective. Agree with Dan that we as fans shouldn't be getting on the players backs especially so early, we need to give them the support to get their confidence up.
First half we played really well should have been two or three goals to the good with a bit more luck but then second half it was the same as last season we need to be more consistent in a game good video Dan.
"With a bit more luck..." and "On another day..." don't cut it anymore. Any top Coach or Manager will tell you that winning teams make their own luck. Aston Villa FC is the scalp every team in this league wants on their shelf. There'll be no free gifts in front of goal (except maybe for the one that Gabby scored on Saturday.) It's time to ditch the excuses and produce the goods. Anyone not good enough or brave enough should get out now!!! UTV VTID
We severely miss Kodjia and it seems to me there is a total lack of a plan B when things aren't going well. Very concerned that it's all the same old problems( can't kill a game off and struggle second half). Don't want another season of "ohh don't worry performances are OK results will come soon" and before you know it, it's too late ! Hopeful it won't be and still feel promotion is very achievable
4231 , lansbury where bacuna was , green on the left and put gabby where Lansbury was .
Whereabouts do you guys sit?
Jack clake correct im upper holte 👍🏻
Anyone calling for Bruce to be sacked is mad, our team looked good in the first half and we drew against a team some people have been predicting playoffs for. Have people forgotten hull came down from the prem last year and they are one of the better teams in the division.
Also you're totally right about the fans, gotta get behind the team
The 3 in midfield just not up to it against a very average Hull team. Failure in front of goal without Kodjia is glaring. I do like Scott Hogan but I don't think he has those around him on the same wave length, his movement is excellent. Just want Jedinak Kodjia and Jack back asap....
Agree with Dan on the fans reaction...Bacuna was tosh except pinging a beautiful crossfield ball 50 yards in the first half, but I would never boo or ironically cheer a villa player, looks as if he now wants out of the club as he obviously cannot take the heat from the boo boys
Josh onomahs shot was offside should have done better but I would rather have that than a disallowed goal
I agree that the reaction to Bacuna was perhaps unwarranted, but it isn't just about one game mate. It's about the fact that season after season he is poor; and he clearly doesn't care about the Villa. The guy thinks he's a champions league player!? It's that disrespect towards the club, his blatent lack of interest in Villa doing well.. That's why he got the reaction he got. UTV.
I don't agree that he was poor last season, inconsistent yes and played in an unnatural position (midfield yes) the whole champions league thing was taken out of context, yes it was a ridiculous statement to make because we had just been relegated but if you actually read what he said it wasn't that he's an amazing player: “Ajax or PSV? I think so. If you look at those clubs, they play Champions League football almost every year. If you do you get a chance, why not?” I don't understand why we can forgive Gabby but Bakuna is the devil
Personally I think bacuna should of came of earlier for the likes of hourhiane.performance wise I think it's the same old villa we should of put the game to bed in the first half because for some reason Bruce's team talk at half time must kill the players momentum but think it is way to early for Bruce out
good result if we win at Cardiff If not 2 points dropped
Playing Bacuna full stop is a crime for me. I would rather Doyle-Hayes played in the middle. Bacuna shouldn't even be in the squad come next week. Farcical decision from Bruce. Not a fan of jeering the lad as he came off, but the kid just isn't good enough to wear a Villa shirt. End of.
Vintage Steve Bruce.
I think Bacuna gives a different option to our midfielders, but the way he plays, he will have bad games
Hogan was excellent? Missed two brilliant chances, got the service and wasted it yesterday, that's not excellent.
I think you watched a different game to the rest of us. Only Hutton and Elmo tried to feed him with any regularity. The best chance Hogan had he created for himself by waltzing through their defence - unlike Gabby who fell over his own feet again when he was through one on one with the 'keeper. UTV VTID
Cyberdon Blue how many points do we get for him "waltzing" through their defence? None. No matter how much you like him he missed chances vs hull, climb out his arse and call it how you see it not how you want it to be.
