Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[madloaf]

The usual over reaction on here to a disappointing result. Ah well; still unbeaten after 6 games. We go on.

Its ok to overreact - football isn't rational.

a couple of players need calling out here - regardless of the overall team results,

 

[zeven]

entire weekend ruined. We Will not win the title this year

 

[I'm Blue]

Foden shouldn't be starting ahead of Alvarez.

Not on his current form.
He’s started the season badly and today was the worst of the lot.
In Ashley young’s pocket the whole game and couldn’t pass 3 yards

 

[OL2Blue]

Great point after such a lacklustre performance. Just keep matching the scousers results and we will be fine. Think we prioritised Tuesday night and it showed as our usual intensity was way off.

 

[Stelea]

Good job we haven’t had a tough game without using the subs well before a CL away game!
We always look sloppy and tired when we shouldn’t. Just had the easiest game in midweek but we were wrong from the beginning today

 

[Mayor West]

The use of subs is odd though, can't see how alvarez and grealish would hurt when everyone is looking knackered

But if we had scored our chances and won 3-1 absolutely no one would be questioning Pep. All on the players today.

 

[Bill]

don't know how but we were worse once Bernie went off.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Pep is given Foden chances to play himself back into form.

He’s been poor for quite a while now.
What’s wrong with him?

 

[city warrior]

Stop playing Walker at CM.

Give Alvarez a run over Foden now.

You thinking walker played as a CM says it all...

 

[its a Barm]

Obviously should of won but we didn't no worries move on to the next game.

 

[lust overlord]

Disappointing result too many players off form.
Missed a few opportunities.
Could have been zero points instead of one though, so take the point and produce a real performance next Saturday.

 

[Chak19]

Newcastle was a good point, this one is like a loss, Villa are trash but we gave them belief with a pathetic first half performance, second half was better but we missed chances to kill the game and paid for it with crap defending for the equaliser.
We have Spurs next and I'm always worried when we face them so this was a bad result.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

Jesus some of the reactions on here are insane currently....

 

[deano ou812]

Didn’t play great but still should have come away with the 3 points to be fair it was a cracking goal but 99/100 he puts that well into the stands unlucky we move on ..

 

[NQCitizen]

Why Ederson couldn't stop that goal? A good goalkeeper would have stopped it.

It was in the net in a flash, no chance

 

[plattlanebenches]

Far too slow, too sloppy, too relaxed, everyone waiting for the game to come to them, lack of application, lack of energy, some very fucking poor decision making, and helped out by a terrible decision by the officials/VAR to disallow Villa’s winner.

I know there was a long time to go after that and we could have gone up the other end from the kick off and scored ourselves, but if I was a Villa fan I’d feel massively fucked over there.

But it’s a point, let’s put this one behind us as just one of those shite performances that we deserved very little from because nobody played well.

Really good summing up of the performance. Very lacklustre. Don’t know why Alvarez didn’t come on. Rodri was crap, as was Walker. Very surprised after weds game.
We could always do the klopp thing and say the grass was too long/ dry.

 

[mancityvstoke]

pep out

 

[blue by birth]

Why Ederson couldn't stop that goal? A good goalkeeper would have stopped it.

You must be taking the piss..he had no fucking chance

 

[come-on-barney]

Newcastle will take points off most teams at home - today was a shocker

yes Crystal Palace at home a point.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Alvarez has to start. He has to be in the starting eleven. He gives us more than any of our other wide players he has to start next game

He’s played one full game. Against Forest at home. That doesn’t put him ahead of Foden or Grealish in the pecking order, yet.
