Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

I know it's temporary due to injury and suspension but to go from a midfield of Rodri, Gundo and KDB to Akanji, Kovacic and Nunes is criminal.

Villa a very very good team, we never really looked in it and had nothing going forward.

Hopefully our fortunes change soon, but we've been lethargic for a while now.

Time to work your magic Pep.

What other midfield would you have picked today?

Poor performance, created very little and the better side won. We could have played all night and we would n't have scored. This squad needs strengthening in January.

I'm not even sure they were that good. They just did the basics well and won by a deflection.

No they were really good, I think with that performance they’d have beaten any other team in the league tonight. We were crap tho

 

[Roachy]

Been coming that.

Everton and Leicester were pretty bad.

You didn't see us at Southampton in the CC.

The only good thing for me is that we now know the problems. Recruitment needs to be a lot better going forward.

Try and offload those not good enough and go from there.

A new playmaker and a new Rodri replacement or one that can play alongside him is needed.

Foden won’t be a CM under pep and neither will Jack. I have full faith in the club, we have got complacent and must improve or we will slide down the table.

This result could also kick start a comeback.

Atm it don’t look good for us this season in the league.

When is Kev back? Can’t be far off now.

Never seen a Pep team give the ball away so easily. Wtf has happened, the ball came of our post straight to Akanji and he just passed it straight back to Villa :(

City looked frightened.

Worst performance of the Pep era.

Our recruitment has been shite and one look at the bench in most games tells you all you need to know. Lightweight isn't the word.

Haaland has to score. Missed chances from two yards are costing us and so too deflected shots going in at the other end.
Woeful tonight - on a par with Southampton in the EFL Cup. The frightening thing is the Rags are a win away from us and they have been in turmoil and dog shit all season! WTFIGO
