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

[I'm With Stupid]

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 mean let's nip this one in the bud quickly before it becomes the official narrative. VAR had nothing to do with it and by the time Coutinho shot, our entire team had already stopped playing, making no effort to block or save it.

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

Its ok to overreact - football isn't rational.

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

Constructive criticism is fine; it's to be encouraged, actually. Stuff like "he's fucking rubbish" serve no purpose, however.

This shite needs to stop before it gets out of hand.

Either you’ve never been in goal or you are trolling.

No keeper saves that.

Yeah, Ederson has his moments, but that was a quality finish after he was left in acres by Cancelo.

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

Jesus is on this forum? I don’t believe you.

Early season, leagues are not won or lost in September. Save your anger for the later rounds of the CL.

Fuck the CL

1. Poor passing, especially in the first half.

2. Poor finishing.

3. Poor subs by Pep. Mahrez for Bernie, okay that's fine to give Mahrez minutes. Ake for Walker to go back 3 is fine, but leaving Foden on when he was playing poor was a bad idea. Should have 100% rewarded Alvarez' performance from last game and get him on, go 3-5-2 to play to our strikers.

4. Pep changing us from the last game was a bad idea, Walker and Cancelo played inverted for so long. What happened to the last game where Cancelo was wide, and Foden played inside. Foden looked so lost staying wide all game.

He spent more time in the centre circle than in his actual position. For some reason Pep has looked at our team and decided that every move needs to start with our least skilful player. It's bonkers.

Walker was playing in a back 3 when we were defending. Cancelo was the inverted FB today. If people are unable to see that....

Wasteful

Whilst we were wasteful, it was all in a 20 minute spell bar Walkers fuck up 1st half.
The other 70 mins was diabolical
