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

[SebastianBlue]

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.

Fucking awful!

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.

God Wills it. Maybe not.

Crap. Foden needs some time in the bench..

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

Very sloppy - look very tired.

Spurs will probs do us next week too.

 

[Jocks Y-Fronts]

Rubbish. No intensity

 

[gandalfthebrave]

Not our finest 90 mins.

Their goalie is fucking small time.

Glad the Norwegian goal machine got one.

And nice to see Dave Grohl on the Villa bench.

Over and out.

 

[buckshot]

Foden and Mahrez on the wings is cringeworthy.
