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

[chuckyroll]

Bizarre thing is wr are only 2 points from 6th still. Learning curve for manager and players

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Similar to how we completely took Mateta out the game at Selhurst early season

And Halland

 

[The Situation]

It's frustrating like because we've actually been canny enough here.

We've played far worse and won games this season.

 

[Sidewinder2]

Against genuine Pl quality O'Nien is simply miles away from being good enough. It's the uncomfortable truth people don't want to accept.

Yep and some of us said it months ago, he was given a new contract purely for sentimentality

 

[Andy_Roker1983]

Love Luke
Love him being around the club, playing in the cups etc


But we have a fully fit defence today. 7 players. And he’s been picked in the starting xi. Ridiculous

In hindsight he shouldn’t have started. But I do understand why he did, he’s played well the last few games and you could argue that he deserved to keep his place. Also not sure if Ballard was fit enough to start.

 

[domril26]

Watkins reaction to be tackled by Ballard. Zero complaint to the ref. Just knows he’s been tackled perfectly haha

 

[ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK]

People go on like absolute morons on these threads when we’re getting beat like

It certainly drags out the negative nancy's who love it.

No doubt it will be worse on here later on and threads appearing to slate players etc

 

[McDonaldinho]

If we're going to have huge gaps at the back we could at least play with a bit of urgency going forward

 

[bestguy]

Ballard starts and their first 2 goals wouldn’t have happened. Regardless of not tracking runners, Watkins bullied 09.

 

[The Cabbage]

I can't say I'm bothered if we are taking chances to try to get back in the game. We might as well lose 4-1 as sit back.

I’d rather have the attackers playing further up. Nordi is just doing whatever the fuck he wants. Him and Rei have been really poor today in my view.

 

[jaxaxe]

Big difference is that they are more incisive in the last third.

We are ponderous

 

[McMackem]

Big Dan. Different defence when he’s there.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Ballard's mistake in the first place but he more than made up for it

 

[Inside Forward]

He’s probably still not fully fit.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Mukiele not been on it today at all.

What? He was unreal first half

 

[Roker Mackem]

Mukiele absolute stinker today.

Yeah loads have had big off days. Shame really as this Villa team could have been got at.

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

2 goals now

Both Enzos fault

Just ignore onien then

Fully fit squad villa look a better side. We are learning and improving

 

[Hendon Mad Frog]

This is the problem. He shouldn’t be in this position.
We could have played mukielle there and Hume right back? Are you saying it’s the managers fault?

Well O9 doesn’t pick himself does he?

 

[Southern Monkey]

Villa to be fair have also now screwed up a couple of 2 on 1 breakaways. We’ve been more open than I’ve seen us for ages they’ve cut through us far too easily. It’s a shame as you’d expect us to be the fitter side in the final part of the game given we’re only playing once a week and they played 3 days ago.
