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

Not sure what Pep is trying to do this season with the crazy system that is leaving us all over the show.

We could have lost against Newcastle,thank fuck we were 0-2 down against Palace at half time and he had to change it.

Not to be deterred,Pep was back again with it today,players all over the show misplaced pass after misplaced pass.

We are dropping points and it is all on him.

Surely he must see what we see.

Then the Subs today,Bernado for Mahrez,a Guy who Bottles out of every 50/50 playing in a physical game.

Alvarez is not a Bench warmer,he is a fucking good player,a match winner.

Disgrace he didn't get on that Pitch.

He starts with that System at home to Spurs we will be 3-0 down in indr 30 minutes.

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.

Agree with that. We did get away with a couple of yellows.

As others keep saying — this is just about every club’s Cup Final when we travel.

In 1H it seemed we had so much space between players — the passes we tried were so long both cross field and in the interior. Villa weren’t going for it and we weren’t very accurate. Much better in the 2H but still took a moment of magic and pretty poor keeping.

Also agree with all who thought Alvarez in for Foden — I expected it at HT and it never came.

But we’re very busy the next few weeks — I’m sure Pep has some type of rotation in mind.
 
Two dropped points. I couldn’t understand the move to a back three. We were the better side by far but they came up with a really good goal and nicked a point they didn’t really deserve.

It’s not. We have a £200k pw player who on merit doesn’t get anywhere near this fucking side. He should have been shipped out in the summer. Instead he gets a new contract and now we end up in situations like today.

Honestly, the collective wank-off on here when he got a new contract baffled the fuck out of me.

In the context of changing things up as Bernie wasn't doing much and Mahrez is the RW sub it makes sense.

He played poorly, but the idea to change it up is correct.

Pep's problem is that was the only attacking sub and Ake coming on for Walker was hardly useful as Walker could just play back 3 anyways.
 
Absolute shite result, bottled it. Haaland is amazing but some others need to take a hard look at themselves.

Good opportunity to take 3 points at Villa Park before they sack the useless ****, they will be a decent team once they got someone competent in. They were not decent today though, they were drilled but an absolute nothing team with no confidence on the ball and to concede tp them was a disgrace
