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

[Afterthefact]

I assume some weren’t used today to keep for champions league. Still some better sub thinking available. Don’t like it when our wingers don’t try to get to the byline more. Or if they’re going to sit that high, then we need some aggressive overlaps or runs underneath. Feel like kdb was the only one down there all match - and got the cross for the goal.

When things aren't going our way Rodri & Gundogan create so much space for the opposition in central midfield, like two oil tankers.

Didn't think we were near it in the first half, we likely would've been if Walker squares the ball to Haaland early but not to be.

Thought the second half up until their goal we should've put them away. Erling does his usual and scores, Kev hits the bar, Haaland has two saved and Villa rode their luck and scored a cracker, sometimes you just have to say fair play to the opposition. They aren't or didn't do anything special just rode their luck and put away their only chance. It happens, that's football.

No time to dwell on it, I thought Alvarez would've given them fits but hopefully he starts against Sevilla and Haaland can have a rest with the Spurs game coming up.

Take the point and move on for me. We'll have a few more games like this during the season so no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Probably get slaughtered for this, but when pep arrived he said Sergio needed to adapt and work harder, best goal scorer in the clubs history, yet haaland comes in and is there just to score, haalands work rate is piss poor, yes get a ball to him he will score, but in the meantime we are playing with a.man light,haalands work rate is appalling

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.

Read my follow up post again. I said constructive criticism is to be encouraged, not some of the knee jerk stuff we get on here.

When the system isn’t working, Rodri gets exposed.

Agree but he wasn't outnumbered or under significant pressure today. His mistake were his own not down to the system.

 

[madloaf]

we will win the league....

Maybe mate - we all hope so, but its hard to look that far ahead in my opinion and i don't think most of us on here are that fucking entitled to think we'll win the league regardless.

It's worldie shot, no keeper will catch on that.

Yes agreed. Villa scored with their first shot on target. It was a half chance. Shit happens. We need to move on.

Sharing my point of you does not make me cock. We are all here entitled to our point of view. Shaw some respect.

Your posts are ridiculous.
You obviously don't watch us much with your wind up posts.
But crack on mate, please enlighten us some more with your pearls of wisdom.
