Aston Villa v Burnley post-match thread

[hilts_coolerking]

2 fine goals lost in 97 minutes of mediocrity.  Deeply unimpressive.  And Dean's got to start getting harsh with Wes who was a passenger today.

We'd be all at sea without SJM.

[taylorsworkrate]

We just are not learning at all.

To give away a goal as easy as that just after you've scored is so so poor.

We played well 1st half, but we allowed ourselves to be dragged into a fucking horrible game of football in the 2nd.

That's 2 points from 3 games where we should have won at least 2, probably all 3.

[Deano's Mullet]

Point doesnt really do us any favours. Can't see us winning many but if we can hold in there till January a new striker could really give us a boost. Saying that our defence not as strong as we thought....

[JUAN PABLO]

the team was more frustating than my bloody stream

[PaulWinch again]

That is another poor result. We will go down if we don’t stop fading badly in games.

Sort it out Dean.

[villadelph]

From position of strength we fall away. This is a concern and I can see the owners getting twitchy.

I agree. Deans not going to last long with our recent showings. It’s a romantic story but I don’t think these two billionaires give a hoot about that.

Our last 3 matches are genuinely pathetic results.

Dropping points, poor subs, poor work ethic late in matches..

[SoccerHQ]

So frustrating. DS needs to be proactive much earlier in the second half. We always allow teams to get back in to games we've been dominating.

Changes he could've done.....Davis on for Wes to hold the ball up a little better. Trez on for AEG to give us fresh legs on counter attack. Even Jota to try to get more possession although maybe with opposition not his type of game.

More games are won and lost in second half of games so just to do little while the opposition are tweaking formation and changing shape is a pretty odd way of approaching management at the very top level imo.

[themossman]

Wesley looking like a complete luxury at the moment. Doesn’t score much, absolutely zero menace from crosses and set pieces, and actually I’m not sure he does that much in support of other attackers, at least not consistently enough to justify his place.

[AsTallAsLions]

We are just incapable of defending a lead against a Premier League side.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Point doesnt really do us any favours. Can't see us winning many but if we can hold in there till January a new striker could really give us a boost.

New striker? We need a whole new forward line.

[baddowvillans]

And sort it out quickly please.  You said we would learn.  We arent!

[kippaxvilla2]

Last week was our 2015 Leicester game.  This was see Sunderland home 2015.  I fear for us already.

[OCD]

That is another poor result. We will go down if we don’t stop fading badly in games.

Sort it out Dean.

Fade? We just never got started in the second half. Found ourselves back in front and then fell asleep again.

[BoVillan esq]

Well, I'm going to be optimistic on this one, we won in midweek and we've taken a point today, perhaps we are learning not to lose, albeit very slowly.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Jay Rodriguez is a c***.

Burnley are a horrid team to watch.

We are just lacking something.

A second half plan?
