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

I answered the question. Not scapegoating at all. His error was the initial one that lead to the goal.

In fact I don't think I've ever posted any negative about Eddy before.

I am not saying you are a person that is generally unreasonable — I know you aren’t.

But I do think you are being so with that take.

Literally all of the players stopped and went casual right before Coutinho struck the ball because the whistle was blown. It was a bad call by the linesmen, but saying Eddie couldn’t have saved a shot that didn’t actually go in to the top corner after he only casually jumped from a upright standing start is OTT.

(And it’s easy to put a shot on target when everyone has stopped trying to close you down.)

I understand and respect your point of view, but, I have reached to this conclusion from my experience watching Ederson in all previous games. He is not that goalkeeper who would stop that shot.

Reckon we could see more of Alvarez playing with Haaland more after this result. Alvarez having more of a free role like he had on Wednesday night.

If you look at my reply I say it's a run of form from last season. It seems to me and a lot of blues that every time the opposition shoot it seems to end up in the net. To me he seems to get bored. You don't have to agree with me. I have defended him in the past, that he is perfect keeper for our system, he is the best I've seen with his feet, but for me he just isn't saving enough shots.

So he’s not at fault for any of the goals, but he’s out of form?

Come on you Reds tomorrow?
( mouth being washed out as I speak).

Arsenal?

Why are you bringing Gundo into it? Gundo has been excellent all season but was woeful today. Therefore many people (not just me) are saying he was poor and should have been brought off. Most (you will never get 100% agreement on here) will accept that to be the case. However, you will not have a bad word said against Mahrez and it has absolutely nothing to do with his performance in any given week. You blindly back him because of nationality and that means your opinion means Jack-all.

For many years now, you have NEVER said a single positive thing about Mahrez. You even said: YOU DESPISE HIM (remember last year's West Ham game ?). That's chronic hatred. That's sickness.

Edit: FYI and FWIW, I have been following City since the Franny Lee era in the 70s. Maybe, I have been a City fan for much longer than you.

Strange tactics, in my eyes.

We could see the team wasn't flowing as Villa didn't want it to. We needed our own disruptor in Álvarez who worked to great effect in the last game. Unless he's carrying an injury, it was bizarre to leave him out.

Hopefully, it's a lesson learned that silk and steel can work together at dog fighters like Villa.

1 shot on target = 1 goal conceded
I’ve missed good old City :-)
Draw isn’t the worst result, still unbeaten and Haaland scores

 

[SerbianBlue]

I think Grealish is going to replace Foden for a little while.
We had our luck against these mfs when it mattered the most, we should let this one go.
Keep going, easy 10pts gap by January against dippers.

 

[Heath Park]

I hope Aston Villa are relegated.
