What makes it the worst for me is the same as FFD said.2-0 down in a cup match and we have a corner, a chance to get back in the game possibly. Not for us. In typical Villa fashion a professional footballer is unable to get a corner past the first man. That is such a basic 'skill', even I could do it 6/10 and i'm nearly 46 and haven't kicked a ball for years. I'd still back me to put a better corner in. Anyway, back the story, gather round. Basic clearance goes to Villa player. Does he think "2-0 down, we have a load of players in attack, i'll get it forward while we have the numbers up." No, he thinks "i'll pass it backwards, that's a good way to score." He does yet another error so basic i'd be pissed off if a school U10 side did it. He passed it back blindly. I doubt it was even 20 seconds after our corner that the ball was in our net. Not because of some fantastic counter-attacking by Citeh, but because of sheer incompetence by professional footballers paid a small fortune who were incapable of the most basic requirements of a footballer at any level. I'd be livid if Bromsgrove conceded a goal like that and their players are lucky if they get paid expenses at that level. And that is why it's the worst goal i've seen us concede. Can you tell i'm still really fucked off by it?
We know what the problem is - we have 5 genuine PL level players - Amavi, Okore, Veretout, Gueye, and Ayew (not surprising these are the most valuable players in our squad) - the rest need to be sold or retired. We need to build a new team around Remi and those 5 (& pray they stick around at the end of the season).

It's been an issue for years now, bug managers and players seem content to watch awful attempt after another fail to trouble the opposition.
One of our corners in the second half led to a goal, don't know what you're all moaning about. Granted it was for Man City, but you can't have everything.
