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

45 minutes of that 90 was spent dicking around with the ball between Stones, Dias and the keeper

were getting slower every fucking week and our away form is shocking

any team that is prepared to go head to head and have a go will more than likely get something out of the game

Arse are looking decent play a high energy game well organised and can at least fucking defend

Foden should have been subbed
 
People need to remember Alvarez didn't have friggin extended break this year, we need to be careful to manage his minute or he will get burnout. Also he playing for World Cup and seems have very important role in there so no break for him during World Cup either.
 
No over reaction,its justified criticism.

Sit and happily clap if you wish,but dont have a pop at others for calling it as they see it.
Tell me about it. The happy clappers who will NEVER criticise the team are the worst! That’s not support it’s apathy.
 
If I am brutally honest, I put down these dropped points to some bizarre decisions from Pep in the second half.

Obviously the team was not good in the first half, and even with our goal in the second, the energy and decisiveness was not there, and he chose to bring on Mahrez and then Ake, pushing Cancelo—who had been off for most of the match—up as our deeplying playmaker.

That in the face of what seemed to me a game screaming out for Alvarez’s energy and thrust, in place of Phil, rather than Bernie.

Even Pep will get it wrong every now and then, and I am not *that* upset about it. It’s just difficult to see him do it when there seems to be an obvious solution to the issues presented.
I’ll just cut and paste your comments.
 
You still don’t get it mate. On another day, he could’ve scored a couple of goals. His radar was off for me. So because you disagree I’m blind?

Well, do you recommend specsavers or do you have others I can go to check my site. You make it seem like I’m calling him shite. Do enjoy the rest of your evening
He could've scored, but he was by far the only player constantly creating danger. You could go and criticize any other player today, but you chose the best player by far on the pitch? What did Bernardo create, Gundogan, Foden, Rodri, Cancelo?
 
These things are bound to happen and we shouldn't get too obsessed with it. But by gosh villa are a poor team.

Plenty for us to look at and responds to now. Probably saved Stevie Starfish for another week, and yes we should have had them buried within the hour, but il.console myself knowing the best that lot can hope for is 15th.
 
It’s just you and a few twitter trolls.

He had no chance with their goal, saved a one on one and didn’t save an offside goal because the whistle had already gone.
I am not talking about just this game though. He seems to be going through a poor run of form, for a long time. I have been one of his biggest fans but you have to say it as it is, same with Phil at the moment. And it isn't just me saying it.
