Aston Villa vs Queen's Park Rangers - post match thread

[Toronto Villa]

Things could get a whole lot worse tomorrow night if liverpool win.

Honestly who cares? We'll play who we play in the SF. I'm sure Blackburn won't roll over for us if they get through. The league is critical for us and as much as I want to win the FA cup, it's not at the expense of going down.

[PeterWithesShin]

One positive is that twice we were behind and both times we showed some balls to get back into it. I have too many memories of us collapsing as soon as we concede in recent years.

I think Hull will stay below us now.

That would be one, just need another 2.

Leicester, Burnley.

I'm not sure about Burnley. I think it will be Leicester, QPR and Hull - especially after looking at the fixtures. I wouldn't be surprised if it went to the last day and Villa and Burnley end up aimlessly knocking the ball around because a draw keeps both sides up.

[PeterWithesShin]

I heard the booing and wasnt sure who it as against. Agree, booing your own players is disgraceful.

It was only Richardson getting booed after the third. He had a mare without a doubt, but booing him, that has really pissed me off.

Guzan - Did ok, very average at close range shots though.
Richardson - Poor, looked completely lost for their 2nd
Vlaar - Looked dodgy, poor positioning for all their goals.
Clark - Not getting booked is on his mind, looked nervous, after spurs all change.
Bacuna - Not a RB, too slow, needs a better end product for me.
Delph - Better than Saturday, poor defending for their 1st though
Cleverley - Played very well apart from one bad pass.
Sanchez - Broke up everything in the 1st, very dodgy 2nd.
Grealish - Did well in-play but too many poor corners
Agbonlahor - Overall poor, did slot the ball for the 2nd but anyone there would of done that.
Benteke - MOTM

[Mortimer's Bear]

I must admit I feared a capitulation when they went 3-2 up, at least Sherwood has instilled a bit more fight in the players. I wasn't there tonight but it sounds to me like we need to sort the defence out (Okore for Vlaar would be a start) and we'll be okay.

In other news this is my 10,000th post, my wife is right I do need to get out more.

I'd agree with most of that. I thought Bacuna got forward well, Sanchez did well except for 30 minutes after the break and Benteke is the most complete striker I've ever seen at Villa. If we can get another full season out of him you could be looking at Gareth Bale money.

I've seen it a couple of times now where Grealish's first corners are good and then fall apart.

£80m for Benteke? I doubt it. A good, but not world class, player.

Agreed he was superb tonight, but to command a fee similar to Suarez he would have to be far more consistent.

Other than the last 6 games he has been missing for most of the season.

We would be down without him

On Sky it was described as a raucous atmosphere at VP.

[CJ]

I've come away feeling we lost even though I should feel 'relieved' we got a late goal and a point. But really - failing to beat QPR at home is just not good enough, and I really fear it will come down to the last game of the season for us now. Probably a cracking game for the neutral but I don't give a shit about them. Can't be arsed to give individual player ratings, I will however single Richardson out - he had a mare all game and should have been hauled off before costing us two goals. But however bad he was there can be no excuse to boo our own player every time the ball went to him - fortunately the more rational people in the Upper Holte soon shut the idiots up. Some decent football and great goals for us, but too many unforced errors in a game which Ramsey out-thought Sherwood tactically. Large scotch beckons.

What a pointless post. We're in the semi final, enjoy it.

As for the game, disappointed that we didn't go on to win comfortably when we went 2-1 up because we should have. All their goals were sloppy and unavoidable and we can't expect to let in 3 goals against sides like that. That said, I thought we played some decent stuff at times. It's going to be an interesting few weeks.

A season and a Euros playing like tonight and watch the bids come in.
