Conceding 4 is Bad


It’s almost as if people can’t accept being beaten by very good teamsπŸ˜‚
No issue losing away to Villa but let’s be honest they didn’t really have to work hard for the goals they were all pretty basic and easily avoided, Not tracking a man on a basic slide pass etc isn’t really that difficult or Reinildo pissing about etc. We were hopeless defensively
 
We’re much better going forward when Mukiele is at rb
Agree.

Strangely right back isn't Gerty best position most of the time. He's played there for 80% of his career but for us he's looked better in holding midfield or centre half. He did play well against the mags RB mind.
 
Bad day at the office against a bang average team,thats all.
Piss poor defence let us down.
3 points lost.
 
There was a stat on BBC earlier that we’ve conceded 3+ goals in a game 5 times in the last 15 games. This after we conceded 3+ goals in a game only once in the first 19 games.

Brentford (0-3), West Ham (1-3), Arsenal (0-3), Fulham (1-3) and now Villa 3-4).

Interesting πŸ€”β€¦. This will be RLB trying to develop a more expansive approach.
We were as wide open as a barn door today.
Albeit I don’t think they score two of those goals if Ballard is playing, they could turn it on at will today.
Earlier in season we would just have sat in a low block the whole game
 
Think Regis got it wrong today. Mukiele should have been CB and Geertruida RB.
Burn The Witch, how dare you suggest we play better players in more familiar positions, what do you think this is football manager!!!!!!
Its fans like you ...............................................................................................................................................

Desperate to cry like a baby.


Sometimes teams lose football matches, Get your head around it
'Til the End' is a beautiful remnant from last season...
Other teams can do it too. dry youe eyes.
 
Scoring 3 away from home against a top 4 team is immense (and it could have been more). Great team selection, I think Regis got it right.

I’d much prefer to lose 4-3 in that manner today, than to lose 1-0 in the manner that we lost to Brighton a few weeks ago.
I'd have preferred 3-1. Being there and witnessing the comeback was great - but losing like that was sickening 😱

The best team won so the question for me is would I rather watch us lose 1-0 or 4-3 and it would be 4-3 every time. I suspect Reggie will be trying it for the rest of the season with nothing to lose. I think most fans would rather see their team play expansive football.
It really depends on the manner of the 4-3. If we'd come from 4-1 down it may have been easier to take than to witness yesterday's incredible events - only to then receive the biggest kick in the nuts imaginable. Nicholas Cage.... Gone in 60 seconds!*☹️


*Actually 36 seconds between Diarra's miss and the winner

Ehhh? Some of the most incisive attacking play we've been up against this season, in my opinion. Very swift on the counter attack. 4th in the league and somewhat better than "bang average." 😬

So scoring three indicates a great improvement.
