Aston Villa v Sheff United Post Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

At least we didn't lose.

[Chris_Jephcott]

We’re back!

We were alright, but fundamentally, our lack of spark was glaringly obvious.

It's weird. I have seen us play much, much worse than that, and in many ways we were the better side, but I just haven't seen anything there that makes me think we have enough to stay up.

As I said, no spark, and almost zero pace in the side.

[Small Rodent]

All praise technology.

[PaulWinch again]

Well clean sheet (fortunately), but even with the luck looked more solid. Hopefully it’ll make us sharper, because we need some cutting edge.

With our remaining fixtures, I think we are done for.

[PeterWithesShin]

First clean sheet since Boxing Day.

[Sexual Ealing]

Decent first half. Not bad early second half. Modern Aston Villa thereafter.

We seem to have an issue up front in that Davies can play but can't score. Samatta can score but not play.

I'll take the point.

[SoccerHQ]

Not a bad game for me.

Just mentioned it in the match thread but Sheffield United have only lost away to Man. City and Liverpool this year. They are ridiculously tough to break down but we carved them open a few times in each half.

Sometimes when you're in an awful losing run you need a 0-0 sometimes to break that and clean sheet will at least boost confidence.

Pressure on though. We really need to win one of our next 3 otherwise task is far too difficult imo.

Think tonight has shown we need to get Davis and Samatta on the pitch from the start of the game. El Ghazi was a waste of time tonight other than the penalty he should've got.

[Villan For Life]

I thought both teams looked lethargic, it will be a few games before we are anywhere near full fitness.

[Deano's Mullet]

Clean sheet. Only positive from tonight.

[Mossie Hennebry]

Social distancing me hole. They're all fist bumps and hugs...they're bleedin walking petri dishes in the making!

[hilts_coolerking]

Very poor game but it was never going to be a cracker.  We were the better of two mediocre sides.  I don't know what Davis has been doing in training to convince Smith that he's a changed man but as soon as he got on the pitch it was business as usual.

[Bad English]

I am disappointed with that draw. We're down.
