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

[The Pandorica Opened]

It's not just about us and Liverpool though Is it, arsenal and Tottenham say hello

For me, yes it is. It's the fifth week, and Liverpool and City have gold at their heart where the others have copper.

Pep had his eyes on cl midweek. No tactical input in 2nd half

I would say Eddy was at fault for Palace's first goal last week. Poor handling lead to the free kick we conceded.

That’s letting off Cancelo, and half the team defending the corner.

Scapegoating would be another word for it.

Thought cross for the goal aside KDB was poor always looking for hero passes and shots that weren’t on.

Foden and Walker both need a rest/dropping

Could you tell one single player that created more than him? He created:
- Gundo's cross in the FH
-Running from MF and his shoot was barely out FH.
- Goal was his 90%.
- Pass to Haaland that the GK blocked.
- FK to the crossbar.
-1&2 with Haalabd that barely went out.
- I could say 3 other chances where he gave the pass before the assist/or his runs broke the defence.

Now tell me one player that directly created more please...

For me, yes it is.

Tottenham are our biggest threat this year, liverpool will get top 4..just

I don’t disagree. The issue was him getting a new contract. I don’t see how a guy who played less than half the PL games last season gets a new £200k+ pw deal. Like I said, on here there was much celebration. I didn’t understand it and I still don’t. He has to get minutes because we are paying him so fucking much.

Mahrez wasn’t the reason why we dropped points today but him being brought on certainly didn’t help.

Our squad is pretty thin if we sold Mahrez along with Jesus and Sterling, we had to keep somebody. And they probably didn't identifty another attacker. He was also pretty clutch in the champions league last year.

Anyways, he's part of the team now so it's best to move on from complaining about the extension at this point.

He can’t cover multiple players simultaneously.

It’s the system.

Getting caught in possession when there are easy passes on is not the system. Neither is passing to an opponent when you're not under any pressure.

Newcastle completely agree, he was overrun but today he was just poor.

As if we are the only ones that are "competing". Liverpool aren't looking like a league winning team. And unless we massively improve our away performances. Neither are we.

If we drop our standards. We'll be competing with Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea too. And the rags at a stretch.

We'll see.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

A ponderous performance today with effective tactics by Villa stopping speed of play out from the back by cutting out the passing lanes. If we take our chances early in the game, it's done, but we didn't and we were average, especially out wide with a distinct reluctance to take on the full-back.

Fortunately, we only have two days before this performance can be out of our system.

Yeah agree. Enough chances to win today
