Villa 5-5 Forest post-match thread

[Rigadon]

Grrrrrr.  We are, by some distance, the best attacking team in this league.  Tonight also shows why we need a new keeper and and at least one centre half

[chrisw1]

Letting that slip at the end against 10 men was very poor.

[Uknowthescore]

Great game but fuck me January can’t come quick enough

[PaulWinch again]

Keeping and defence were unacceptable tonight.

[Diablo]

Our 6th goal should never have been disallowed lol

[Stu]

I said in the match thread - Forest's attacks were route one bollocks, and we let 3 in like that, pretty much. The attack are doing their job, but the defenders should be ashamed of themselves.

[l_mckay]

The keeper and defence is a disgrace,how can you expect to do well with them clowns. Middlesbrough will tear us to shreds

[Matt Collins]

Where on earth do you start with that?

Sensational from abraham, McGinn, Bolasie,

Very good from el ghazi, Hutton, tuanzebe and Taylor

Hourihane provided all the defensive midfielder protection of a traffic cone

Chester cost us another goal

Nyland faced five shots and conceded five goals. The last two goals were his fault

I think our offside goal was onside

We've got to sort this defence out though. We've been very lucky of late and we can't keep riding our luck like that

[charleeco7]

Bloody entertaining that but my god some terrible defending and awful keeping.

[ChicagoLion]

At 5 - 4 and 10 mins to go against 10 men we started pissing about and they equalize.
Fucking fuming, that game was for the taking and 2 critical points lost.

[auntiesledd]

Never in doubt. 

[Toronto Villa]

The defence is utter bollocks and I have defended Nyland plenty on here. No more. That 5th goal was just horrendous defending. He needs to be binned and we need 3 defenders to come in.

[Holte132]

That should shut the noses up, with their idea that they would have won had they gone 2-0 up!

[PaulWinch again]

El Ghazi was good.

Conor needs to provide much more cover and Chester needs to get a grip.

[taylorsworkrate]

Absolutely insane game. Brilliant going forward and should have scored 2 or 3 more. Awful defensively, and to concede when they were down to 10 men is unforgivable.

No chance of going up unless some serious work is done on defence and GK in January. Hopefully not too far off top 2 by that point.
