Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[RayCTID]

They took full advantage with us being weaker. Let's see how Villa performs against our rivals. As for us it was to be expected even though I half hoped we could of suckerpunched Villa.

 

[BlueMoon_Phil]

Our players look absolutely f*cked. Every team we play against seems to have more energy and are always winning the second balls. We are getting battered and conceding goals left right and centre, so might as well give Kalvin minutes in order to give Rodri a rest

Pep has changed the shape to try and accomodate Alverez and Haaland, but it just doesnt work, both are exceptional players but we are giving them crumbs to work with.

Pick one and stick Foden in the hole behind them.

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Not really sure what the game plan was today buts that on pep

True. I could see no pattern aside from give it back to Eddie or stray offside all the bloody time.

 

[DTKOAG]

Why sign a Centre half for big money and play him at left back to be shown up each time he has played for us..
Silva/Foden /Haaland a shadow of the players from last year.

 

[Indaparkside]

Just woke up are we top of the league yet

 

[Blu1]

Won the treble then acting like a west ham in the transfer market

100%

Looks like we really should have pulled out the stops to sign Rice back in the Summer. Fair play to Villa and Emery though - they are looking far more than the sum of their parts.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Probably the least surprising result of the season so far.

 

[Mr Mad]

No pace, no vision, no goals sums it up

 

[Theengelbert]

Well done Villa - in December.

Me tonight knowing that:

It’s December.
Arsenal fans are wanking.
Some on here are slagging us off.
That it’ll all be ok in May.
That those fans will be happy as ever at that point.

Probably you’re right.. and I’m not one to flap but we really don’t look like the city of the last few years at the moment. I don’t think we have the quality we used to. Kev might save us

 

[Gordyola]

The worrying thing is tonight would we be any better if Rodri has played

 

[Sky Blue]

I'm a happy clapper cûnt but can't defend that shitshow. Fucking fuming.

 

[slick]

Villa deserved that, they were brilliant.
Hopefully we'll now do our usual thing and start to pick up after Christmas.
I just we don't drop many more points until then.

 

[Trickyblues]

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

22 shots to our 2 suggests they were good.

Pick one?????
Pick haaland you mean

 

[limerickcitykid]

50 laps of the pitch tomorrow - they're just not fit. Can't cope with 100 minutes.

Well we're a one man team and he wasn't playing, so the result and the performance was not shocking.
