Michael oliver allowing martinez to lie down with the ball way longer than 8 seconds... ****. dippers got a corner yesterday when kelleher only had it for about 5 seconds

If Haaland isn't scoring, nobody is scoring.

We have too many players who are okish, good in spells, but totally underwhelming most of the time and not clinical in the slightest or able to take the game by the scruff of the neck and make things happen.

We've declined so much over the last few years it's unreal.

 

[mosssideblue]

They had more desire, best team won.
Dust ourselves off and onto the next game

 

[dctid]

11 very technically gifted footballers the majority of whom could not impose themselves playing an academy

Look completely disinterested and have no creative ideas or game plan

Stealing a living

 

[bluegaz13]

Got to find a way of getting Cherki into the starting 11…..he is the only one with any proper creativity and guile.

Savinho is simply not good enough and at the moment Reijnders is not far behind him.

Despite the totally biased commentary from Hinchcliffe, still think we deserved a draw.

 

[cookster]

What the fuck is Reijnders. Adds nothing.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Would also add tho that if that was reffed properly we'd have got a pen and could have drawn

 

[plattlanebenches]

Shit performance
Shit kit
Shit comms from Hinchcliffe


But fair play to Villa, they wanted it more than us and defended brilliantly

Summed it up perfectly

 

[Roachy]

Dress it up anyway you want, that was a shit showing from us. Let's be honest, Villa were bang average and we couldn't muster anything of note. Really disappointed with the whole team, but a couple were dreadful out there.

 

[GoatersLeftShin]

I can't stress how important it is that we add quality wide options next summer. There were several people on this forum saying they didn't want Rodrygo because we had Bobb and Savinho. Utterly mental analysis. This is why you don't judge football on just stats.

Totally agree mate on everything you've said there.

Players like Rodrygo have that x factor that can win games, Savinho looks like a tricky player but I can't see him ever getting anywhere near to a Real Madrid move. Big players come up with big goals.

 

[tommybooth]

Arse. We move on.

 

[Double R]

The most depressing thing about that was we all new it was game over as soon as they scored.
This current team has no fight, no character to dig themselves out of a hole.
Oh and Savinhio and Bobb are squad players at the very best. But by the time they came off it was far too late. Rijnders needs to get his shit together aswell, flattered to decieve since the first game.

As I said in the title winning thread we're 12 months behind.

Arsenal are going to absolutely walk it.

 

[SaintColin]

Our wingers have played 31 times this season and mustered 1 goal between the three! It’s a fucking disgrace.

 

[Why always me..]

Exactly what happens when you don't play a single, defensively-minded player in midfield

 

[I'm Blue]

A shameful performance.
A battle for top 4 it is.
Don’t see anyone having the consistency to challenge arsenal.
Fuming.
I’ve seen more fight from a tin of sardines.

 

[waspish]

Villa was just to good all over the pitch Onana was unbelievable for them! Villa under Emery are made for games against our set up soon as they got that early goal it was always going to be tough! We played better than our last two visits but still go out played.. it’s one of those games that once whistle got blown am over it..

 

[silvathechihuahua]

Marmoush and cherki need to start the next game !

 

[SheeshKebab]

I genuinely don’t think we were that bad today. Thought we were actually better than villa but they defended like mad men and had so many more athletes in that team. Made us look like kids or severely unfit when they countered.

Think Pep got it wrong but I do think we could have won if they obviously just put away chances.

Thought that Cash goal was mad lucky as well.

Don’t really need to say anything more. We’re clearly in transition, some weeks will be good, some weeks will be bad until it clicks. Onwards to the next one.

 

[YatesA]

Not just the wingers, foden absolutely pathetic. That cross right at the end summed the game up. Aimless and to no one. He didn’t even look, just fucking shit from him and the entire team including subs.

That was across the board utterly pathetic.

Cherki was about 5 yards beside him alone as well, if he looked up he could have had an easy dink to him but normally you'd loft those for haaland. Foden legitimately looked like an amateur on multiple occasions today
