Aston Villa vs Sheffield United Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

I'm not 100% their first was wholly over the line either and when I get to see it again I will take note of the referee's position to see if he was guessing.

It was and there’s goal line tech which sets off the device on the ref’s arm isn’t there.

All over the place for 80 mins, they were all over the place for  the last 10. Mcginn deserves the most credit for still fighting when the game was seemingly dead. Fuck me, what a player we have.

[PaulWinch again]

McGinn is tremendous.

First of all Sheffield United are a very good team.

They play like one for a start. Everyone one of their 11 knows their roles etc. Have to say it's tempting due to a wholly British team and manager to just think they hoofball but not for the first time they knocked the ball around with ease, sort of stuff we were doing pre xmas before it all fell apart.

I'd prefer to see them go up than Leeds or Norwich for the automatics.

Going 0-3 down was still disappointing even if we were second best. Guess most on this thread have seen replays which I haven't yet but amazed Sharp wasn't called offside for the second.

Anyway some games you still feel we can come back but aside from a brief flurry towards the end of the first half we were miles off. Think the first corner we won was ironically the one we scored from and that was 81st minute which says it all.

So a daylight robbery memorable comeback. Will it actually lead to anything......no. We're just not good enough as a unit this season.

Left in a strop on 75 minutes.

Then find out we've drawn, then remembered I had four quid on 3-3 correct score at 50/1.

Weird night. Anyway I've no idea if we turned into Man City for the left ten minutes but the 75 I saw were absolutely fucking terrible.

Not even anywhere near acceptable.

Absolutely awful but good comeback.

I like Mings.  Chuffed for Green.

[VILLA MOLE]

too many players going through the motions

we need to get the pressing back the movement back and the passing back

however how did the ref miss that pull on our player

[Clampy]

I hope that kick starts our season again.

I’ve been here since the 90s and I love it - it is my daily bread being in toon land but what has become apparent is the negativity which pervades the general mood - for me football should be about positivity and the escape from the norm - it’s about dreams - and at the moment that isn’t really my experience at the moment. I know this will be seen as a cop out but I need more positivity in my life after personal tragic events

As bad as we were, if we had had VAR, their 2nd goal would have been disallowed and we would have had 2 pens. Amongst many, one of the disappointments for me was the first time we tested the goalie was not until our 1st goal, when he was nowhere when the cross came in, but still a good header from Tyrone and the second time he made another cock up gifting Tammy his 20th goal for us. The 3rd was a lovely cross for SJM and a cracking header from Andre.

In 62 years of following Villa can't think of another occasion, when we came back from 3 down in the last 14 mins to snatch a draw, let alone having played so crap in the first 81 mins. Yes it papered over the cracks, but I'm going to bed on a high.

I was thinking the same. To comeback against a team looking to go top, hoepfully it will kick us up the arse.

We Leeds coming back as they did seemed to put us off our stride. Hopefully this will do the opposite. Even more because there was always a feeling/fear that Leed weren't finished that day. We were dead, buried and the insurance had paid out tonight. I'm actually really proud of them for pulling that out of the bag. They'll no doubt be delighted if they find out.

I don’t blame anyone who left early or after the third...

I never leave early. Even in those 0-4 Spurs and 0-6 Liverpool I stayed till the bitter end  but....but today I left as soon as the clock struck 80th:(

Absolute Johnny come lately nu-football scum. I watched it on my laptop right until the end. #betterfan

[Lastfootstamper]

I fuckin love football, me. 3 down, ten to go, and we'd have won it if it weren't for their dastardly time-wasting. Grrrr.

Jedinak. We'd have been better playing with ten, cos he effectively reduced us to nine. Fuck me, he was shit.

Him, Kodjia, Taylor, Hutton, seeing a Villa side with none of them in it can't come quick enough.
