Post by: Toronto Villa on April 26, 2025, 04:28:11 PM
As much a Mings is a better defender than Pau, also remember that he came back from a very serious injury far sooner than he shoud have and he's stated that in public. So the club are managing his time as best as possible. Yes this is a very important game but it's not like Pau is shit.

It's our biggest game of the season against physical opponents. Our next game is a week away. Nowt to do with managing minutes.

Morgz and Ramz said in their Sky Sports interview last week that Pau and Bouba are the only two players in the squad who Emery never criticises.

Much less confident with Pau instead of Mings. I know Unai’s attitude is to play our game and not worry about the opposition but as some point you need to be pragmatic and accept certain opponents require special attention, especially one that’s battered you consistently in recent games.

He’s a lovely footballer, no argument at all. But the difference in clean sheets and goals conceded between Konsa/Mings and Konsa/Pau since Emery came in is pretty stark.

I wanted Rashford, Mings and Maatsen to start! The lineup doesn't seem as strong. I bet Palace are happy Rashford isn't playing. Rumours of a knock or hamstring problem. If so, typical of our luck!

What a horrendous half.

Our problem down the years is when we get close to actually winning something we go massively into our shells and try to do it by playing as conservatively and low risk as possible.

Didn't feel confident at all, less so with the team selection and it's just been awful to watch.

Why are we so reluctant to start Malen and Maatsen all the time? Barely used either starting and they are pacey and direct like Palace have out wide.

Asensio not done anything to justify Rogers going out wide again.

Also a bit worried Unai looks so flat on the touchline, he knows he's badly got it wrong this half so let's make some changes before this game is out of reach as you could easily sub five of them. Only SJM has done o.k for me so far.

Get Pau and Digne off, put Mings and Maatsen on. Should have started that way. Unai has been an idiot for the past two games and it makes no sense.

Emery, as much as I love him, seems to think this is our best defence. Unfortunately it has cost us our season. Penny needs to drop.

If you'd asked me to predict that half, with that team, it would've been exactly like that. Lots of possession, fail to break down Palace (who knows how to defend) and go in behind following a defensive mistake.

That wasn't a foul on Konsa either.

He currently has though. God knows what Torres was doing with that ball. Very rare a player suddenly turns into a cloud of particles which allows the ball through. Taking Torres off for Mings is a must to raise the team.

I think it's because of the narrow way we set up. It plays right into their hands and means they can play their natural game without pressure.

We need Bailey or Malen on, to stay wide and punish Mitchell.

Most worrying is everytime the camera pans to him he's just staring into space. Was even sitting down right at the end of the half.

I think he knows he's massively balls up the team selection so I'm expecting at least two changes at half time. We need to do something before it is too late.

Reminds me of the Fulham play off final. We started awfully in first 20 minutes and allowed Fulham to get into their stride. They scored and despite playing better in second half time just ran out on us.

Read the quote. The “past two games” he has been. Got the setup and mindset all wrong. Subbing in Disasi at RB is idiocy. Everyone knew that he would not be able to handle the pace on the wings.

Maatsen plays out of his head against Newcastle and sits on the bench for the next two matches. That is idiocy.

We didn't appoint those managers to win things though. We have appointed Emery to eventually win things...I assume so yes he needs to be judged on these type of games.

I think most forgave him Olympiakos last season as we were running on empty with a weak squad and priority was CL.

Now CL is out of our hands even if we win our last four and today we've got effective players for this type of game just warming the bench.

Complete pee take he's put on Bailey who's been out for weeks ahead of Malen aswell.

We only do it at Villa Park. And yet almost every away game we become this limp dick of a side rarely coming close to that form. We all love Unai but that’s entirely on him and how he almost sets us up to be subservient.

We are also witnessing very likely the end of Asensio, Rashford and a sale of another top talent as we try to stay he right side of PSR. CL seems a long way off and with our finances we will need to accept a step backwards to stay compliant.

Whilst I think this is all correct - I don’t think that is the end of the world.  Marco hasn’t looked at enough.  Are recruitment is pretty good I think it’s more likely to be a newcastle type step back to go again

How the fuck is Cash still getting a game for us? Can we move on from him. Has been mediocre for years.

I don’t see this result as being entirely down to Matty Cash.
We had strikers on who didn’t strike.

And there we are. Shite

A theme running through the side. Conceding on the first shot. Conceding after 90 minutes. It's really really shit.

Embarrassing, from the manager down we were pathetic all game. I'm afraid some of the problem starts with the worlds best goalkeeper, from the start this pathetic slow studs on the ball sets the pace we play at. Fair play to Palace they were the better side all day, it isn't that we lost it's how we lost, from a poor team selection from Unai to players who are looking for the season to be over. I cannot fathom why he didn't play Mings, I really believe that made a huge difference. Such a big game for us such a big let down.
