Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

didnt read the matchday thread ! I treat that like I do the press/media lol.

I have said a few times the players look mentality and physically shot. They have played so many games at a very high and demanding intensity our the last 3 season. Hardly anytime off due to stupid internationals.

Last season we reached the very top, the treble.

Are the players holding back unconsciously for the world club matches ?

We lost two good players in Gundogan and Marhez both had great ability in keeping the ball. Add KDB injury and that's most of our midfield gone.

This season Pep has changed things with playing two strikers, which means less in midfield, a weaken midfield to, which leaves Rodri having to cover to much, which exposes the defence.

I'm not throwing the baby out with the water we have had 3 amazing seasons, I dont mind a slight dip. Personally I'm surprised we havent had a dip before. But than again I'm a FOC

People saying things will change when KDB gets back, I think we wont see the real KDB until next season. It take Kev about 7 or 8 games to get back up to speed plus his age now as well.

I think it’s a bit naive to say Villa weren’t that good last night, they were excellent. That doesn’t excuse our performance in any way, but Villa deserve credit for how they played and the result was as much to do with their performance than it was ours.
 
So just the Champions league this year and we will call it a shit season! Oh how far we have come, I’ve woken up miserable as fuck, Pep needs to rethink what he’s doing with the group he has, Haaland might as well not be on the pitch at the moment, no fucker can see the big bastard making runs, I know it’s different on the pitch but just cross the bugger in.

If we’re waiting for next season to see the real KDB he’ll be 34 with an awful lot of miles (and injuries) on the clock.
