This, should have scored but the same ones criticising would be saying just lift it if Martinez saves with legs. It’s a poor miss but it happens.

Personally think he's getting better, he's making some great runs, look it was a bad miss but he isn't the first and won't be the last to miss a sitter.
The defending deserves much more criticism.

Calm down man , we nearly got something from the game. Lads did so well against a top team.
The fact that in the 94th minute he's racing onto that chance in the first place is a very positive thing. Footballer misses chance/keeper makes good save. Mental the complete over reaction from some over grown bairns.

Rigg's PL form until a few weeks back was dogshite tbf. The turnaround has been spectacular.

That shot is an absolute killer but worst of all he’s not worth anywhere near what we paid for him.

My wife is a massive Martinez fan and she reckons was a save not a miss. He's a world class keeper and he made a great stop. But I think Diarra is public enemy number one. Or maybe O'Nien.

Till he went off MOTM for me
Villa were just on fire in the final third today. We had a good spell after conceding first half. Then attacking wise we were abysmal for about 35 minutes of the second half, passing was terrible from pretty much everyone. Then great pressing and a few killer balls. Plenty positives and plenty things to improve upon.
Was stinking at Port Vale (along with everyone) since then he's been pretty good and excellent at times. Final starting to show his talent.

I was at the match. People we screaming at him to square it.
The defending was shite. 09 turned in one of the worst CB performances the PL has ever seen.

It was, but some of us didn’t write him off because we could see there was a PL player in there
on the one hand im still fuming. on the other enzos penna and his..attempt...show players without fear, who believe they are here to compete and don't even think about the alternative, i think things going a little wrong on occasion is warranted.
He's maybe unlucky in a way. you wouldnt need to argue that xhaka is our best signing ever. sadiki is up there, enzo is up there. if we'd followed the written plot and made a brave attempt but finished on 15 points he'd have been a highlight.
Shit he might be an, admittedly weakest, component in the best midfield 3 in a generation. or 2. maybe 4. But he's the same age now as Dan Ballard was when arsenal decided he wasnt worth shit too.

Bet they were all at the match today. In fact, I know for a fact 2 of us were.
