The not quite so mighty-anymore Aston Villa vs Swansea Post Match Thread

[TonyD]

Missed all coverage of footy today. Just seen our result and would never considered 0.1 as a result. I thought 1.1 or 3.1 to us.  I thought it would be a given we would score at least one. So bit pissed off.  Did we play well or the usual home swallock?

I think Mr Sherwood got  out done by Monk today. You would have thought it was silly to remove both Sigurdsson and Shelvy and bring on Montero and Dyer but those changes unhinged us and we were hanging on in the last 15 till they scored. Sherwood's subs Weimann and Westwood made no sense and equal amount of impact whereas Montero and Dyer and even Routledge exploited our high line.  Having said if Sinclair  had shown a little more composure he could have scored twice in the second half and won the game  for us.

Swansea were better than us, but we should have got a fecking point

I thought zog was playing well. Taking him off made little sense .

I thought we played alright. I wouldn't have complained at a draw to be honest. It's a set back, so let's see how bounce back.

Did you really? I would have been chuffed with a draw as they outclassed us over the pitch IMO.

Has anybody posted what our manager actually said in his post match interview?   I was worried he would rip into the referee (which is what he thoroughly deserved) and get himself in hot water.

We were second best throughout. Should have been a couple down by half time and I didn't feel confident that we would score today. Good side Swansea. Sinclair volley at the end was a terrible miss. Bacuna is crap, we were too light in midfield, I didn't get the Westwood for N'Zogbia switch either. I hope this defeat gives us something to learn from. Agree with others, referee was very poor.

You reckon they outclassed us all over the pitch, but they only scored 1 goal?

Yeah, I thought we were ok to be honest? I've seen us play worse.

[silhillvilla]

Technically Swansea were very good today, I'd guess one of their best performances of the season.

I have seen us play worse, but yes I do think they were better than us all over the pitch, especially Cork and Ki in midfield. Only todays performance, how many would you choose ahead of them?

They outclassed Liverpool at home first half on Monday. Was speaking to a lad after and he said they are decent but miss Bony

Problem is we have just 8 games now 4 of which look like write offs.

Why do they look like write-offs?

I don't think they were better than us all over the pitch. If it finishes 0-0, I don't think there would have been too many complaints from either side.

They are all far better than us and have home advantage.
