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

[Flea Market Trader]

I dont think we deserve to be in at half time a goal down. Very good performance so far and if we can tighten up a bit we can get something here 2-3 Sunderland

 

[Petesafc]

People going after diarra a bit. Think he’s been ok and much more involved than le fee

Agree think he’s played well, shouldn’t be surprised on here some just go after the players they don’t like, They’ll be gutted Rigg scored, he should be out on loan

 

[FatDrummer]

People blaming 09 for the second

Ridiculous!
Both Villa goals were well worked. Watkins movement is top class.

We have played REALLY well and are still very much in the game.

We need to nullify McGinn and Bri is getting little change from Konsa and Mings.

Keep playing it around and more chances will come.

 

[ZeeZee]

2nd goal I agree but the biggest problem on both goals is the wide men not tracking runners.

Stop the cross.

 

[indymackem]

The amount of people desperate to say Luke O'Nien isn't a Premier League footballer is incredible

For what it's worth, I'm a big fan *and* think he might have done better for both goals today, but he's up against a terrific striker so not sure why people are desperate to write him off when he's been excellent over the last few games.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

He's done ok this season when called upon, Watkins gives far better players than O'Nien problems

This. A 1 in 3 striker at the highest level does that to a lot of defenders

 

[Smiler]

Been the better side but it's a problem how we don't concentrate on stopping balls into the box from wide.

Been punished for 2 bad lapses.

No we haven't, we had a little bit of pressure but didn't create much at all whereas they have had more of the ball and created more chances

 

[Bg86]

Alderette is marking the space at the front post trying to black the cross he doesn’t have a man to mark what you on about ! Watkins runs off onien again ! And I love onien

Says something when even you're pointing it out like marra, you've only just stopped copy and pasting that paragraph blaming Ellborg for the mags goal

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Stop the cross first as everyone knows

Sure you have an axe to grind but Enzo will be the one being telt

Totally agree i think le fee has been terrible all half and yeah was far too easy has been all half but you cant let Watkins run off you so easily as well. Basic defending.

 

[InsomniacAttack]

We'll score early second half then we've got a game.

 

[Scorer]

It’s so frustrating as we don’t deserve to be behind but those are two of the poorest goals we’ve given away all season.

We’re normally solid.

Piss poor defending.

Very good balls in too, to be fair.

 

[Mowgli]

09 has played well to be fair but id get Ballard on for the set piece threat that we are gonna get

christ man.

Diarra and co get slated even when they play well.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

It’s pretty poor from Rigg to let the cross in but there’s only one attacker and the cb’s should be able to deal with it and don’t

He should never have had that much space to pick a player out

 

[Sir dave]

People absolutely desperate to pin any goal conceded on O9 week in week out. He may have some blame to shoulder but there's 1 or 2 others who have let themselves down in the same goal but don't get a mention.

Who’s fault was it then for both villa goals

 

[InsomniacAttack]

Ballard on the bench but start O’Nien

Almost like Ballard has been injured for a month. Weird innit

 

[AC Mack]

Some people have put blame on someone for a goal, but that second goal is just great movement all round. The burst of pace from Maatsen, the ball in is perfect and Watkins just backing into the space and getting that crucial yard.

Stuff could've been done slightly better but its just a top quality goal.

Both their goals were good, but we could still have done better in both instances.

 

[daventry cat]

Mcginn dominating their possession

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Says something when even you're pointing it out like marra, you've only just stopped copy and pasting that paragraph blaming Ellborg for the mags goal

Because it was a shit pass off him

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Alderette is marking the space at the front post trying to black the cross he doesn’t have a man to mark what you on about ! Watkins runs off onien again ! And I love onien

Because you don’t want two marking one man, do you?

They pray for it mate.
