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

[SAFCBlandy]

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

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

Just a difference in attacking quality between the teams really

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Shame like, but we’ve never turned up today. Been a really poor performance.

We’ve not matched them physically at all.

 

[Mackem DJ]

Diarra is shite. Hate to say it. Not seen one thing from him that suggests 30 million.

Was 8/10 at home to Burnley
7/10 last week V Spurs

Every other game he’s been our worst player on the pitch

 

[Keith S30S]

Of course they aren’t.

They aren't. Sadiki is more defensive. He could play the Xhaka role if required. Sadiki is a better dribbler, Diarra has a bit more pace. Diarra has more goal threat. Nowt like each other really.

 

[nz joe]

That tackle by Ballard ,,just emphasised, why he should have started .

 

[safclav]

Brobbey pins the centre halfs so many times wanting it to feet and notice have we have it to him

 

[vibezzz]

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

We are ponderous

Been like that most of the season

 

[Viva Le Bris]

i like Luke but it's mental he's ended up with game time ahead of Ballard and Geertruida today

I just get the feeling Alderete and Muikele don’t trust him when I watch them play together

 

[Football Dinosaur]

Big Dan....what a tackle lad.!

Can take the ball from the opposition too

 

[Lagger]

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

They’re so far ahead of us. Quality side.

 

[gringo purves]

Xhaka not having his best game. Reckon he needs enjoy in the middle to give him options

 

[Roker Mackem]

3-1 Forest. Confidence booster for Friday

 

[McMackem]

Just ignore onien then

And Rigg then, his man.

 

[Feed the Monster]

There’s no room for sentiment - he’s so far out of his depth in this league. Sorry Luke, your done here.

Knacker

Three previous starts, three wins. One goal conceded.

He’s had a poor game today as gave pretty much all of them except Ballard and Sadiki.

 

[The soap powder]

Shame like, but we’ve never turned up today. Been a really poor performance.

We’ve not matched them physically at all.

Played well first half man just that goal at start of second half knocked us and these are a very good team

 

[Sarcoid Kid]

Hope I'm wrong but ballard looked like he was limping during that brilliant tackle.

 

[The Situation]

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

Many already had visions of booking their flights to Europe so will start sulking if/when it doesn't happen.

Bonkers really considering they'd all have been thrilled with staying up and we've surpassed any and all expectations this season.

 

[Hendon hotspurs]

Ive nothing against the lad at all but hes not prem class, hes been close to embarassing today. Nowhere near anyone all game....but,but he slipped

I take it you don't like the lad who has played in more than 300 games for the lads. Is it personal?

 

[Billy Batts]

The difference between them in the final third and us is night and day really.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Stuff like that. Just been way off it today.
