Aston Villa vs Burnley Post Match Thread

[Small Rodent]

It’s a point, so we’re still going forward.

Traore and El-Ghazi worked there balls off but didn’t do their main job.

Most of the good chances fell to them and not Watkins or Grealish which is a pity.

I do feel sorry for the commentators having to show balance and big up Burnley.

Observations

1.  How did New get through that game without and are being shown?
2.  As others have said another striker is an absolute must in January
3.  Jack is every bit as good as ever and without him we are nothing
4.  For me Conor should have been on as he would have offered a further goal threat
5.  Martinez - just amazing

Well we've disproved the theory that if you keep shooting you will score eventually.

[RamboandBruno]

Should of won comfortably. Didn’t play brilliantly, but still were far superior to them. El Ghazi had one of his better games, but the finishing....also set up for jack to win it, but ballooned over. Traore was poor. Positives, defended really well, McGinns probably had his best game of the season, nakamba did ok to be fair. Think Ollie needs a goal, ran his socks off but a couple of times made the wrong decisions.
If we beat West Brom, 7 points out of 9 is a good return, if...UTV

[Astnor]

We where not good enough to beat a Burnley at their best tonight. It s easy to start to pick on players then. Traore, El ghazi, Nakamba and Kieran are not good enough. On the bright side we are progressing and are mid table. Up the Villa

[cdbearsfan]

Trying to be positive, considering many were concerned when they saw what team we put out, we did pretty well to outplay them and have so many attempts.

A bit of composure and we could have won by four or five. Last year we looked constantly on the verge of collapsing, this year we look very close to being an excellent team.

With the players we already have and the resources at our disposal, no reason to believe we can't continue to get better and better.

[Proposition Joe]

Traore is an odd one, in that in midfield he likes to try one touch passes and flicks, but in the box he takes touches where he should be whacking it first time.

[OzVilla]

Played really well other than our shooting. In every other department we were good, shooting wise we were appalling. Though AEG was really lively and if he could shoot straight would’ve been my MOTM. Grealish superb and Traore looks like a player but it just isn’t clicking for him yet. Solid at the back. Martinez is safe as houses.

[Sexual Ealing]

Why don’t many of all these big chances fall to Watkins ? It’s all starting to look a bit hoganesque. We works incredibly hard, put himself about, but the chances just don’t come to him.

If his colleagues hadn't constantly made the wrong decisions Watkins would've had a hat-rick.

[Ads]

There was nothing wrong with the performance and it would be bizarre to say otherwise. We put 27 chances on the table and at least 3 or 4 should have been scored.

[Brazilian Villain]

Weakened team, opposition parking the bus, we were due a draw, it happens. Clean sheet, no injuries and whilst frustrating, win on Sunday and things will feel fine.

You do realise it’s Allardyse’s first game on Sunday. More of the same coming.

Stronger team with a few rested players on Sunday and hopefully a bit more luck. I said it happens, but not every game and we're no longer due a draw.

Jack was spotted saying "fucking crap" when he came off. Could be interpreted in many ways.

Only one way. Jack was not happy that we didn't score and win this game. Good attitude.

I think he was berating himself for that final shot over the bar

[aldridgeboy]

Should have won the game.  We didn’t.
Our hone form is concerning me, as is our lack of goals.

But I’d have taken our points we have , at this stage, in September.

And I still have a Burnley players £500 inches paid me for a gig that didn’t happen 😀😀

[john e]

worryingly 27 shots and not many of them for the target man we payed nearly 30 million quid for
