Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Haaland pussy-footed about all game and made fuck all challenges on the ball.

Haaland is a superb goal scorer when the side is purring but he’s a very limited footballer. He’s also lazy and soft as shit for a big lad.

Imagine Tevez in that game today. He’d have been everywhere and run his bollocks off making a proper nuisance of himself. Haaland is far too easy to play against.
 
Lol you just realised.
Yes "All periods of dominance come up to the end of their cycle and this is it."
But to go from being the best team in the world to this, in such a short period, would ordinarily be gross negligence and incompetence, so much so, that it could almost be deliberate.

Why is every other team's technical area busy with people offering opinions, suggestions and geeing players up. Ours?? A one man total exclusion zone.
We have a look of resignation.
I realised a while ago mate but just needed to write it down. I do agree with you that the rapid decline in the last 2 months has been shocking.
What this does for the strategy is concerning. Tourists are attracted to whatever team is doing well and winning. There could be a lot of empties in the NS expansion unless there is new investment in the squad. Top 4 is therefore a must this season. No one’s coming to play Europa or Conference League next season.
 
I’m no tactician but the high line seems to leave us wide open.

Players look mentally exhausted after relentless fixtures for club and country. Too many games and too much travel.

At this level you only need to 5% off it and you’ll get beaten.

No one can get rested. No one has to play for a place.

Add to that ageing etc. injuries etc.

It’s a mess. We have the resources to fix.
 
Too many good young players have been sold on. The team is leggy at best, too many senior players on a downward spiral.

I find it hard to believe we haven’t got any reserve/ youth players that could do a better job in central midfield than what we have in there

I hope Pep wants to stay and rebuild
