Bournemouth v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[CT]

Grealish was shit?

Let's leave him out for a few games and see how we get on then.

[ASHTONVILLA]

Apologies for the non stop ranting. It's been a long day and I've had far too much to drink.

Still morning here, and have to face the day sober. Just when I thought we had turned a corner ugh.

We are paying the price for not having got a decent aggressive ball winner in midfield. Nakamba sometimes looks like he might do it but flakes out in too many games. Luiz definitely can't. McGinn is a good player, but is better higher up the pitch. Drinkwater is just abject.

Samata looks better than Wesley, and Davies I like if he can stay fit.

Letting Chester go without a replacement is madness.

[Axl Rose]

Crap game, crap result, Smith is inept. How I wish we had a better manager and could play football correctly; Start off like a fucking freight train, impose ourselves with pace and physicality, rather than ambling around like a used condom. It's a pain in the arse to have to watch such ineptitude almost weekly.

Besides Jack, a decent appearance from Davis, and a debut goal from Samatta, we were very poor. I love Mings, but he was back to one of his shit days today. He needs to be a leader in every game. Impossible perhaps, as hes only human, but he's too casual for my liking at times. And why on earth we didnt sign a midfield enforcer, I'll never know. I don't like Nakamba at all.

Hause, Freddie, and Reina were particularly crap. Reina didn't have a great deal to do, but he cocked up for the goal. Definitely should have kept Nyland in.

Out of 10 for team performance, 3.

Individually:

Reina 4
Targett 6
Hause -507
Mings 5
Konsa 4
Guilbert 4
Nakamba 3
Luiz 3
Grealish 7
Samatta 6
El Ghazi 2

Davis 7
Engels 5
Trezeguet...barely did anything.

Just done dry Jan, so will be joining you on the drink later

Haha. Ok, mate. Saturday games kick off at midnight Japan time, so usually, I've been drinking and eating since 7ish. By the time Villa kick off, I'm well on my way. Then they play badly, and it's around 3am before I've finished ranting, my wife has gone to bed, and I'm left in the living room with a few cans of whiskey soda.

Up the Villa.

Disappointed not to have got a point out of that.

Thought it was a nervous and poor quality first half with both backlines recycling possession too easily. But after the quarter your mark I felt we took control and Grealish started to get on the ball around the box. They then score against the run of play and manage to score following a blatant as far as I'm concerned foul on Konsa while we were on the attack.

Second half we had more than enough chances to have equalised. They dropped off 20 yards and kept giving it us back. Davis played well, but his finishing let's him down, sadly it's the most important part of the game.

A poor result, saved by West Ham and Watford being poor.

I felt a few were off colour, Guilbert hit the first man too consistently, El Ghazi, beautiful through ball aside drifted out. Hause was his usual wasteful and slow self in possession. Dealing with those two second balls for the goals were poor.

Come the last five minutes we ran out of ideas and I think it would have been better to take Hause off for Trezuguet and push Dougie higher up.

A frustrating day, a poor result, but its tightened up further and we live to fight another day.

Thanks Ads, always good to get a perspective from someone who’s there

Yes quite. Let’s face it the tactics are see if Jack can do something, and if he can’t we’re stuffed.

[PeterWithesShin]

All our players when in possession and an easy pass to Jack isn't on

And how is a knockout punch by their keeper not a Penalty - a mistimed punch is no different to a mistimed tackle. penalty all day long!

2 awful decisions in the space of a minute with that second yellow card for their player. Amazingly var checked the penalty claim and agreed it was no penalty.

The referee warned Lerna in the first half to srop.being a twat. Their captain got called over and told him to pull gus head in or he'd be off. He didn't and off he popped.

[TonyD]

The blame lies firmly with Marvellous and Luiz.   Useless footballers stealing a living.  I think they are probably mid table old division 4 standard.  You can’t win games starting with 9 men.

There's some rubbish on this thread.

What a load of hyperbolic horse shit. Have a time out after games before posting such utter shite.

[SoccerHQ]

Yes agreed, he got nowhere near the ball and clattered Engels.

Was that at 2-0 or 2-1, can't quite remember.

Ultimately we got it back to 2-1 with still 25 minutes left and barely had a shot. Bournemouth managed things very well from then.

2-0, I can't understand why it's not a foul and yet a keeper is a protected species.

Bournemouth retreated in numbers, but we had chances, Davis in particular, to have got a point.

Davis was a good bustling run but was wide of the goal when he shot. Amazed if he'd scored from that angle particularly as he hardly scores anyway.

Can't remember much else apart from a few crosses and headers well over the top.

Ultimately we're poor when we concede first away from home, have we even picked up a draw this season in league or cup?

I mean that’s just nonsense. We’ve recently seen that Luiz has plenty of talent, but he’s being played in the wrong role.
