Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

I don't know the full story on Alvarez and Palmer etc so I can't say what happened. But we never ever talk about another striker unless it's a back-up for Haaland. Now which striker do you know who is a regular at their current club is going to come as a back-up? The mind boggles.

Football is cyclic and teams come and go. Wenger was once golden bollox he in his time changed football and many teams changed too and eventually caught and surpassed Wenger. Wenger refused to change he would not compromise and eventually he became a dinosaur. That will be the fate of Guardiola, football especially the PL is not static, teams adopt tactics year in year out and sometimes from game to game. Simply buying new players to play the same style of tippy tappy shit I can’t see working, so he changes or he goes, doing the same thing is simply not acceptable

We've got a new DoF arriving in the summer. Plenty of fresh ideas with that. Wenger had complete control of Arsenal, something Pep doesn't have, although he does have some input.

If Stones wasn't injured why did he come off? We should have been bringing Ake on for Lewis. Doku for Gundogan and moving Grealish to midfield to give us some legs there.

Think he hooked him for his mistake for the first goal. Charging into midfield and not winning the ball off Tielemans.

I'm not sure whether he has or hasn't tbh but it's one possible reason why the players seem to down tools at key moments in games.

They've not downed tools. They are fucked, some players have lost all ability and rational in decision making, haaland is a passenger and Kyle walker has been responsible for 75% of our losses from individual errors and shit defending. The system doesn't work unless every piece is working, just like peps first season.

No but looking back at history is a good indication of the future, tell me for the Everton game what style of football do u expect, dynamic attacking high pressing game or tippy tappy shit with no real purpose other than making our possession stats look good

This 'tippy tappy shit' is what the likes of Sam Allardyce call Guardiola's brand of football - despite it being played by most of the successful PL & foreign teams these days - albeit rather better than our version. Presumably you are a fan of keeping the ball off the grass as much as possible?

Pep lost the dressing room has to be the worst take on the current situation I've seen. Log off

Matey Not one of the players wanted to play today or should i say the system, Bring in the EDS and youth that you say are ready, What was the idea of the DNA right through the levels if you don't use them
 
Same shit just a different day.

Too many ageing, injured, out of form players, Pep too reluctant to change anything, small squad biting us on the arse, playing a high line with the slowest defence in the league, no energy, no pace, no press, no goal scoring threat.

Can't see where the next win is coming from.

Feels like we've been transported back to the 80s and 90s.

Happy fucking Christmas
 
Foden needed a goal, but otherwise the next three games (Everton, Leicester West Ham ) will determine whether this is just a perfect storm or something drastically worse.

Even worse, there was a move towards the end when Doku pulled it back, but everyone had run to the far post.
That was actually a good cross but his teammates were hiding behind defenders, too scared of taking responsibility.
 
Our only win in 12 was when Grealish played in the middle.

I don't get why he hasn't played there agsin since the Forest game. I just don't get it worked than, than next game Grealish was dropped or injured. But my point is it work when has he played there again. It's fucking baffling
