+++Villa v SAFC Sky Sports Premier League ko 14.00+++

[ATS]

Been a decent game but really disappointing we are behind.

 

[daveybigpotatoes]

Sadiki done nothing this season

Daft comment of the year 2026 award winner.

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Overlaps are a problem here. May need a defensive change of shape

 

[Lord Alfred]

We are very much in this but Brobbey needs to be more involved - barely touched it.

If he’s not passed to he won’t be.

 

[YorkMackem]

We've been decent against a good side. They are killing us down the wings. One thing is we aren't really phased by it, wouldn't put it past us to get another back

Midfield not tracking runners and it's criminally poor marking on Watlins tbf, but Villa are very well drilled.

 

[Zweiguys]

Let’s all take a moment to be happy for Rigg.

 

[Chop Sauce]

Everyone loves 09 but we have to recognise he’s not up to it in the Prem.

 

[Blackcats13]

Absolute nonsense - see who laid the ball of to Rigg for his goal.

Why i said this whole season mate

 

[Bg86]

Brobbey very isolated and not involved as a consequence. Diarra has to do better or someone else given a go

He'll have plenty energy for the second half at least

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Villa seem to have another gear that we don’t have.

The Morgan Rogers gear. Ball control, vision, skill, speed of thought. Exceptional footballer.

Their first goal is poor to concede with a centre ball watching but I think you have to give some credit for the second. It’s an excellent bit of work from Rogers, a great ball in and top centre forward movement. Better centre halves than O’Nien would come unstuck with that I think

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

ONien ball watching first, no where near 2nd. Would score an OG if he was close.

Grt ballard on.

Otherwise decent performance from the team but 2 switch offs has cost us

Its oniens dive knowing hes getting nowhere near it, they are playing one up top and hes left on his own and cost us two goals

 

[gonzalo]

Didnt know they have specsavers in New Zealand

 

[Adzy]

More than in the game still, got to remember these will likely be in the CL next season and could have a Europa League trophy to their name, was always gunna be a challenge

 

[tooliohelmet]

And in addition, Diarra’s just been struggling full stop.

Hes doing alright today

 

[Coeus]

Not tracking runners has cost us twice, le fee looks like a man off

We've got Rigg and ELF wide for defensive stability and they've both let runners go multiple times. Bit odd.

 

[exiled_in_manc]

Sadiki done nothing this season

Nice fishing trip.

 

[Mowgli]

Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with you

Its killing us. Even Nordi is raging at him. He's out of his depth today

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

He is yes

Another one of our cowardly fans that can't wait to have a go at the wrong player, cos they hate him.

Far too many fans knee jerking into stupid posts when something goes wrong. We've played quite well, but Villa are up there for a reason. They have good players too. Grow up and grow some balls man. Get behind your team.

 

[Rocky77]

Can't get Brobbey into the game. Done ok in spells. Two poor goals to concede, didn't track runners and centre half lost his man on both of them.

 

[A Visiting Villan]

Resting Torres for this game is absolute madness from Emery. Mings is way past it and will let you back into this game if we don't score another. Why we have weakened the side in such an important game I have no idea.

Decent game and I expect more goals in this one..
