Otherwise very attacking line up again. We were a bit wide open on Thursday with pretty much the same line up. Hopefully get a couple of early goals
Post by: Demitri_C on May 05, 2024, 01:05:52 PM
No idea why gauci can't get a start.
Brightons tactics (like most clubs when olsen is in goal) apply pressure on keeper and we win
Shame no youri but good to see moreno back

God sakes olsen again. That means no clean sheet.

To be fair pinning clean sheets on Olsen is a bit unfair. Emi rarely keeps them as well.

Olsen, while he didn’t cover himself in glory wasn’t the reason we lost the other night. He did ok, could have done better on a couple of the goals. He did all the basic stuff well enough. And with Pau back it makes us better overall. We’ll be fine. Just need to keep the ball well and not allow Brighton to dominate possession. Get in front and a side close to the beach will be on the beach.
He wasn't the only one at fault, but with Emi in goal we'd have got at least a draw - He saves two of those goals that Olsen let in, potentially the penalty too.
Still winnable today - We just need to adopt the Keegan mentality to football.... Score more goals than them!

With Emi in goal we are always better. That’s not the argument. But the immediate reaction is that we’re fucked because he’s in goal. We defended as badly as a team other night as I’ve ever seen. So badly that Emi would have been as exposed even if he would have done better with shots he’d have faced. But as for today, we are close enough to the finish line that this side should be good enough to win and leave Emi a few more days to get healthy for Olympiakos.

I think if we get CL today, we may not see Emi for the rest of the season, if what I read is true, hamstring injury. These type of injuries usually take anything between 3-5 weeks. No point in rushing him back only to aggravate the injury.
Emery suggested Emi might have had a chance to play today.

He looks decent. Unless you are taking the opinion of Pablo who is convinced this is the worst signing in the history of the club.

I don't think Sky fully understand how big Villa are. The big 6 is as much about selling their wares around the world and those 'big 6' having fans all over the world. They make the mistake, but are likely to find out if we make the top 4, just how big Aston Villa really is.
There is definitely a snobbery & a bit of prejudice about the club being in Birmingham from the likes of Sky.
I remember a friend visiting there a while back through work & when asked who he supported, they absolutely rinsed him & looked down in him for being a Villa fan.
The question asked most times by them was "why"?
They seemed baffled when told that it was their hometown club...

I 100% agree we could have played the kids a bit more - probably earlier in the season to manage the number of games so we're a bit more fresh for now - but I worry in this game Brighton would move less experienced players around and find a way through us.

At times when we try and do something clever and it doesn't come off, it just looks stupid.
Luiz takes a free-kick and instead of launching it into the box, he tries the outside of the boot flick to the flank to Bailey. And it doesn't come off. Really difficult to accept that crap.
Not everything has to be clever, especially when we're playing poorly, just throw it into the mixer rather than pissing about.
Post by: jwarry on May 05, 2024, 02:58:22 PM
The plan is to rest up for the first 45 & smash them in the second 45.
Don’t rule it out
Post by: SoccerHQ on May 05, 2024, 02:58:27 PM
Surely it makes sense to put him on just for another body in midfield?
With how we're playing we're just waiting to lose this game as we're second to every ball and complete disconnect between midfield and attack.
Bailey is basically limping through games currently so that's a big part of our attacking threat gone.
Can see this being a 1-0 loss with them scoring late. Olsen kept us in it so far.

One of the worst halves this season. Wake up FFS. Losing all the 50/50s and look like we’re petrified.
We're showing them far too much respect plus we look useless up front, neither Bailey or Diaby doing anything. Again the midfield outnumbered and not up to much. There are fresh legs on the bench, hopefully Unai will give youth a chance.
Post by: The Edge on May 05, 2024, 03:02:27 PM

We have played poorly and given up those chances. Thankfully Olsen has bailed us out. They are dominating possession and shots. We will need to do much better to keep this as is or anything better.

Well then Unai needs to make changes. An Iroegbunam at 100% has to be better than McGinn or Luiz at 50%. Or take one of Bailey or Diaby off, and let Tim do the donkey work for them.
Post by: SaddVillan on May 05, 2024, 03:05:32 PM
The bench is threadbare.
In terms of attacking options - Agent Chaos or Kellyman is all that we have - neither of whom are proper first choice alternatives.
Midfield?
Big Tim - a developing prospect
Chambers - reserve player at best.
Then it's defenders
KKH
Lenglet
Moreno
So looking at the "starting" bench, only Cash and Moreno can be considered proper first teamers.

Whilst you would think that, I just think the players don't have the energy or will power to actually play to what Emery wants from them, and for some reason Emery is not seeing it.

Well everyone and their dog is telling us that Luiz isn't a DM and that is the only reason he isn't playing well, so do some selection to ensure someone else is in the DM position to push Luiz further forward into a position where he could do well (although I doubt he would be better), so trust Tim or even put chambers there at the worst push.

I know we are shagged as it's been a long, long season, and crippled with injuries, but it feels like we're almost determined to bollocks it all up.
This result has to go down as a massive Emery fuckup, the team selection is bare bones already so he decides to piss about with the formation anyway. Although when Rogers went off first half I suspect we would lose as I don't think we ever haven't when forced into a first half sub this season.

McGinn’s cross field pass attempt which he put out for a throw in when he had a simple pass to his left was so needless. The throw in leading up to the pen.

Spurs win at anfield and it's advantage them now .
How is it advantage them?
I suspect because of their two matches against Burnley and Sheffield and us not looking like winning another match this season. We have had 2 shots ALL game and allowed them 15 with 8 on target (although the pen probably counts as two).
And each match we play, we seem to lose another key player.

We do seem either completely knackered or have bottled it.
Totally knackered
Yet he gives no games time to any youngsters
Sorry unai but you gotta stop this ffs have some faith. We lost anyway so why not give kesler and kellyman some game time

It's still not advantage them, though, if they win today. Not mathematically.

No, it won't look at the table.
I suppose the point is that they are pretty much guaranteed six points from two games so a win today will leave us needing two point.

The hands which gave the team in 20th position in any form table for the past two months 15 shots at our goal and we had 2. It is definitely in our hands to throw it away. Liverpool have been shit because although they create chances, they can't finish, we could easily give them 40 chances next weekend.

Mentally and momentum wise it would be . I can't see us getting any more points now .Spurs win at anfield and it's advantage them now .

I take your point but it's factually incorrect to say it's out of our hands.Mentally and momentum wise it would be . I can't see us getting any more points now .Spurs win at anfield and it's advantage them now .

Honestly what bollocks. So Spurs who’ve lost their last three will get points we won’t. Ok got it

Meaning we need to get something from one of our last 2

Spurs have been on a shit run of form. If that continues today we will be fine be cause they won’t beat MSN City but if not then I think we have to accept our team look fucked.

But they won't beat Liverpool or Man City.
We're going to scrape it

Spurs will beat Burnley and Sheff Utd, I reckon.
But they won't beat Liverpool or Man City.

I hope so mate. We need arsenal to win next one against manure for city to take game seriously
You just know Liverpool aint gonna do us a favour today 😵💫
Just glad the seasons almost over if there was another 5-8 games we would have fucked this i think
