Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Your last sentence is half right

Pep has access to all the info that we don’t, he knows who can manage how many minutes and he sets us up accordingly

Agree with you about reindeer, he’ll never be that player or any other kind of player at this level. Buy cheap, buy twice
are you saying we cant see whats obvious?

both nico and kova on the bench so were able to play some part, again i will say it again no excuse not to have a cdm on the pitch
we have too many square pegs in round holes
not saying we would of won but having players in their right positions don't half help.
pep is untouchtable but we have the right to comment
 
75 points will win the win the league this season.

We're nowhere near the team that used to get 90 points a season. Neither are the others in the race.

Way too much flapping and it's only October.
Arsenal are on course for 92pts
 
disgusting performance from start to finish. we really have insanely stupid players on this team. shocking decision making at almost every inflection point.
Do you actually like city mate! I see nothing but hysterical posts from you every game. You just spew venom at all the players. Your entitled to your opinion obviously but you just seem dead miserable every game no matter the result
 
Here we fucking go, another 150 page post match thread after a narrow defeat to a very good team

There should be a kind of entry policy applied to post match threads whereby if you don’t comment in one after a victory then you’re not allowed to comment after a defeat.

It would keep out all the rags / dippers / various player fanboys / tourist / JCLs etc who just flood it with tantrum inspired nonsense, the vast majority of whom are nowhere to be seen when we win

I think Villa played really well and hats off to them for a really good and determined display. However I think Foden was really poor today. First half he completely hid from the game and though he did get better second half, his quality when he did get in good positions was so so poor.

Prime example is right at the end when the ball broke surprisingly to him and he was in a fantastic position. He blindly played a nothing ball into the box and blew out final good chance to get something from the game. I’d expect Foden there to get his head up and pick the right ball in but he just aimlessly played it. He had to do better in those positions and that today was not good at all.

Your picking on Foden because you can say that for half they teams! Foden did try and make chance but when a team like Villa today defend so well players have bad games! Back the players look at what he tried to do all you doing is looking at what he isn’t doing or seems to be not doing!

On the train back and the Villa fans say they were poor today. Both sides were sluggish and poor. It was a very poor game with lots of misplaced passes by both teams. We probably should have got a point though.
 
oh look, spurs just scored from a corner, Arsenal win again from a set piece, Dippers score plenty from them, why is no one inside our club concerned that ours are awful and we are missing a huge opportunity to get anything from them.
 
Really annoying, we know we can't win every game, we know this, but c'mon we should have gone to Villa and got at least a draw, Jeremy Doku should have started, sick of seeing City just knock it around as if we have all day, no urgency, at least when he's on we look more threatening. Need to get more shots in from others, have done for a good while really.

Just glad to see Erling Haaland was ok, i thought that's all we need, limped a bit but he seemed ok.
Bad loss, just when i thought we were well in the mix, early days i know but these are the type of games you have to get something out of.
 
Fairly obvious - on the balance of chances we’d have scored more often than not in a game. We didn’t today due to a mix of poor finishing and some brilliant blocks from them.

They scored a solitary goal from a corner they shouldn’t have had.
So Watkins clean through on goal didn’t happen? The block from one of our defenders to save a certain goal early in the second half didn’t happen? I’m sure there were more. I genuinely don’t think Martinez had a single save to make in the whole game other than Haalands chance in the first half. Which other chances did we miss?
 
They won a tough game 1-0 ... they broke Palace down, and got three points, and that's title winning form .... it didn't really matter if they weren't all that impressive.

And it puts our result into perspective, because we were generally poor, and we got nowt!
And Palace had no shots on target, you're right it is title winning form, and we better be careful not to allow them to get too far ahead or they'll do what the dippers did last season and just coast to the title because there is no pressure on them.
