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

We controlled nearly every facet of the game and still only came away with a point. They capitalized on a mistake. We were sloppy at times definitely had at least a few chances where the extra pass would have seen us with another few goals. You simply can't win all games but we should have managed 3 pts yesterday... it happens and every player on our team on the pitch played their part. I don't understand the Mahrez substitution as IMO he's not the instant energy guy who will give us the best chance in the final minutes. Foden has been a bit stale the first few weeks so not sure I agree with him even starting yesterday... that said both of those variables switched could well have seen us drop points as well.
 
Either at the match or watching on TV I'm screaming, "Pass the fucking ball!!!" They hang onto it and then get pressed into a bad position, hurriedly get rid of it and lose possession as a result. As the opposition keeps hacking away at them it risks injuries too. It must drive Pep mad.
It drives me mad.
 
Pep tells his players to hold on to the ball till the player gets close to them then pass it because that leaves more space the problem is the specs that opened up was not filled with our player..
I can see that but close to them not up their backs in our own half.
 
After having time to reflect and hearing what souness said no problem didn't play well but could and should have won just hard to understand whoever plays wide don't seem to take their man on is a pep instruction bad day at the office but there will be more good ones but pep does take understanding about being vocal for five man subs but doesn't take advantage of it unless 3 or 4 nil up but who I am I to question pep
Not the end of the world but two points dropped against a poor side. They were a bad imitation of Newcastle a couple of weeks back. The goal was well taken but completely avoidable. Walker not covering run down the edge of the box and Cancelo slow to react. Stones who was one of our better performers on the day should have done much better with the initial header. Bad defending all around yet again.

Foden looks really out of sorts and Mahrez should have stayed sat on his arse. The lesson is that we need to be full on it every game something which is not easy to do week in week out and each and every season. On the plus side if Haaland stays fit he should hit 30 or more in the league alone so no need to panic.
 
The keeper was an utter disgrace, he made a save then has a chat with a Villa defender then goes down injured. This crap is creeping more and more into the game like this cramp nonsense. Only way to stop it is to make the ref send them to the sideline for treatment and be off for a minimum of 2 minutes. This will soon disappear then.
