Bournemouth v Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[chrisw1]

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.

The same Marvellous and Luiz who have been two of our best players over the last few games, including the games that got us to a final at Wembley?

I can understand the dissapointment at losing today, but that's a wild over reaction.

[LukeJames]

We/Dean needs  to learn how to adapt to playing against 10 men, I think thats 5 times this season were by weve dropped points with a player more.

[PeterWithesShin]

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

Manure and Brighton.

[Villan82]

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.

I f**king hate how we blow hot and cold. This season has been one of the most frustrating I can remember. Having a player like Jack and still looking like we are inevitably sucked into this quagmire.

We desperately need to get another 4-5 wins now. Losing to the teams below you just f**ks up the maths so bad. Draw that and the situation looks a lot more doable.

There's some rubbish on this thread.

I’m getting into the habit of leaving it for a few hours until it calms down because some of the comments are not very good!
To put it very mildly.

2-3 points extra from that lot and we'd be fine.

FFS this season we have thrown so many points away.

[Risso]

Reckon the game on Tuesday took a lot out of us today. Crap excuse I know, but we’ll be up for the spurs game.

It's a terrible excuse.  We had no game at the weekend due to being out of the FA Cup, so Tuesday/Saturday shouldn't be beyond a team who haven't been playing in Europe.

[Axl Rose]

Making perfect sense to me Axl,

You're too kind, mate.

Time for bed, I think. Malcom P and his noob nonsense is about to get me banned.

[Ads]

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?

Grealish was very close too, with some chances in the first half as well.

[Fred Crump]

There's some rubbish on this thread.

There certainly is and someone saying Grealish was shit takes the biscuit. He wasn’t at his world beating best but he was still the best player on the pitch by a country mile. Thanks Ads for your match report which at least brings a sense of perspective. Yes, its been a disappointing day but it’s by no means all over yet.

A lot on here is said about the coaching by Smith , Terry and others.You can coach players until you are blue in the face but when they make individual errors you cant do anything about it. Perhaps it just boils down to the fact we dont have enough quality consistent players who may not be spectacular but at the same time dont make silly mistakes or decisions

It's gonna  carry like this for the rest of the season. I can't see us breaking away. We take 1 step fed then another back and then check other results to see if we have dropped in to the bottom 3. It's musical chairs.

[PeterWithe]

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.

Rubbish.

It's horrible. I hate it. I would snap your arm off for a guaranteed 5 seasons of finishing on about 46 points and never looking like being in a relegation dogfight.

Congratulations on winning Most Hysterical Post of the Year when we have only just started February.
