Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[MillsyTheMosher]

By far the worst performance under Peps tenure with us.

Paying the price now for letting a plethora of world class players leave (Laporte, Cancelo, Gundo, Zin, Jesus, Sterling to name a few) and bringing in sub standard replacements.

Reap what you sow.

I forgot Mahrez

 

[Blue Steel]

Jack purposely got booked so he didn't have to play against his childhood club.

Pretty wank that.

What utter shite.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Jesus fucking Christ. Where to start.

Awful, just awful. Players are lost in this system. Villa battered us and I cannot remember the last time that happened.

How the fuck(and I love the bloke) but how can Walker be so bad at crossing a football. I can do better with my weaker foot. I might lack his pace though - but I am 50 :)

Nunes and Kovac are fucking woeful. How many times did Kovacic have a chance to put the ball in the box, yet didn't bother? And Nunes attempting some free-styling bollocks like we're 5-0 up. Maybe they will both improve with time and fitness. Hope fucking so.

Alvarez and Bernardo need to swap positions.

Nothing positive from that whatsoever.

Villa were shooting from anywhere. Until 60 min (McGaun action), they didn't have a clear goal action. After that, yeah it was a mess.

Second, we had 3-4 starters missing, not 1 or 2 + another coming back from injury.

Third, we had our 2 most important and best players out.

Fourth, Villa are the best team at home this year.

An awful match, but not a useful one to get any conclusions.

What about if you add it to the last 4 games?

Chelsea - conceded 4 goals, a draw was fair
Liverpool - Outplayed them but lost concentration.
RBL - Got outplayed in the first half, played great in the 2nd
Spurs - got robbed at the end but conceded 3 bad goals
Villa - Got battered from minute one.

There's some conclusions to be made.

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.

Foden and Alvarez works for me.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Has Pep praised the lads yet?

 

[cleavers]

When you look at that bench he probably picked the best available.

Yeah, play them in their best positions then.

 

[decmancity]

Fucking bizarre team selection and tactics. Made even worse by the lack of fight and effort. Quickly this season is burning out

 

[CTID1988]

You. Absolute. Bell. End. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Please

Unreal isn't it

 

[The Norfolk Blue]

Typical City won the treble last season. If you are so sure bet your house on us missing the top 4.

Mugs game, not for me.
