Bournemouth v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

Villa do a classic Villa. Bloody typical.

Meh.

There was one game we had to win this week and it wasn't  a League Cup tie. This guy is going to take us down.

[ez]

That was all about desire and nothing to do with ability.

[timeoutbigbar]

Davis a positive?  The man can't finish, his control is ropey and hes constantly injured.  If that's our silver lining we really are fucked.

[PaulWinch again]

Doesn't matter how shit the opposition are, give them a two goal start thanks to wank defending and you're going to struggle. A competent defensive performance and we win a piece of piss.

That’s just it. We don’t just drop a bit below par, had we done that we might have got a result, we fall through the floor. It happens for too frequently and Dean has to sort it out or we will be relegated. Today is nowhere near good enough.

[Flamingo Lane]

Well that was desperately disappointing, and a great opportunity lost.  I'm off out now for few pints and a take away curry.

Completely unacceptable first half, we were miles off. Whether that was cup I don't know but second to most balls and couldn't cope with Bournemouth's quick counters at all which lead to the FKs for the goals. Mings with his worst game of the season didn't help.

Ironically the sending off made the game look closer. We had decent spell around the goal but hardly a decent chance in last 10 minutes with it all fizzling out.

Could be a really damaging defeat for the run in. Losing home and away to Bournemouth team with one win in three months is not a good luck.

At least elsewhere helped. West Ham below us with games away to Man. City and Liverpool to come is excellent and Watford have stopped winning and are blowing leads.

Need to stop being scared of any semi famous team and get something off Spurs. No excuses, time to get points from those type of games as everyone else in the league in bottom half is doing it.

[Edvard Remberg]

We have too many players who are inconsistent.  Nakamba.  Hause. Liuz. AEG. Gilbert in particular.  It's going to go to the wire this season.

Hause generally poor,  AEG 75%, Luiz 50%, and Fred 25%
Very inconsistent

We come to that inevitable question again in terms of did we do enough in this transfer window, to make up for the summer window, of course not, the board have decided we've got Deano until the end of this season, that's done and dusted, so all we can do is trust to luck and play each game as they come up and fingers crossed we can survive. Today was abysmal.

Davis did well.

[thick_mike]

Guilbert was totally alone every time he went forward today. Time after time in the second half he was facing three defenders on his own. The rest of the team must think he has coronavirus.

[Risso]

That was utterly woeful.  Too many shit players, constantly giving the ball away.

[hilts_coolerking]

I reckon we played well for about 15 minutes of that, which is why we got fuck all out of it.  Dodgy at the back, ineffectual in midfield, dreadful passing.  Bournemouth are a moderate side but we just didn't do anywhere near enough.

[PaulWinch again]

We need to start coming out of the traps in games. We’re far too often on the back foot straight away.

[ktvillan]

We must be improving.  At least the 4th time the opposition has gone down to 10 men and for the first time we didn't get much worse and/or concede more.  and at least the new guy scored. Rather feeble straws to clutch at, but can't think of much else except the other results went for us eventually. 

I didn't see the keeper's punch on Engles but there was a barge on Davis in the box that was not a jot different to the barge by Luiz on Deeney that was given as a pen.  Perhaps it's because Davis bounced back up straight away.  The lack of consistency from officials is appalling though.
